Absolutely Reccomend

Fantastic! Location is perfect, walking to shops, great restaurants & beach. This sweet condo is stocked with everything you may need. We would stay here again & again. Everything about this stay was just perfect. The convenience, the thoughtful attention to detail made our trip effortless. Communication with the host was lovely. What beautiful memories we will cherish because of this stay! We loved Pasta Moon for dinner & Johnnys for brunch. She has a book of recommendations that are excellent. I could go on and on. Everything was exceptional!

VERY WELL EQUIPPED SPACE

One of the best we ever stayed at when it comes to how it was set up and equipped. The apartment itself has stairs, which you need to know, but we are no problem for us. The apartment is very modern. It was very clean and overall, we did enjoy our stay. Communication with the owner and the management company was perfect and they did respond right away. If you're looking for a modern nice place don't look further. This is the place you should stay at.

Close To Everything

My husband and I had a nice relaxing time in Half Moon Bay! We simply went for a 3 day getaway to unwind and enjoy the area. The house was very close to everything we needed. We could walk downtown to grab a bite to eat and a few drinks. We rented electric bikes at the shop down the street, they were super helpful and very nice. We road up and down the coastal trail, which was beautiful! The house was fully stocked with everything you could possibly need, I wish we had more time to enjoy it! The bed was super comfortable! The decor was very nice and everything was clean and tidy! We certainly hope to come back in the future, we still have plenty of exploring left to do! Thankful the church was right across the street, an added bonus! It was a wonderful mass! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Birthday weekend

Wonderful location in Half Moon Bay. Once you park you don’t need to get back in your car. Just enough room in the downstairs hall for a couple of bikes if they are not too big, but I wish there was garage access for bike storage. Once upstairs in it has everything you need, forgot toothpaste or a toothbrush, they have you covered. I would certainly stay here again.

5 Star Luxury Stay in the Comfort of a Lovely Home

If possible, this property was prettier in person than in the photos! It was so nice to have simple coffee/tea fixings so we did not have to run out to the store first thing on arrival. Our hosts even had little bathroom amenities such as soaps, shampoos, lotions, etc. I felt more like I was staying at a friend's home who wanted to ensure we had everything we needed for our stay than a vacation rental. The location is perfect for a walkable weekend in the community of Half Moon Bay! The home itself had everything we needed to enjoy time with our family. We walked to the farmers market, which had a fully stocked kitchen and high-end cookware to complete our meals at home. We dined at several great restaurants in town, played golf, visited the beach to watch the surfers, and shopped. If you are trying to decide on which location or coastal community to visit make this one your stop!

Great Place to Stay in the Bay Area

Extremely satisfying stay. Great location, clean comfortable home with modern kitchen and bath and amenities. Owner was very welcoming and thoughtful. Short drive to airport and train line. Took several day trips to SF landmarks, baseball stadiums and drives on Highway 1. Highly recommend for your trip to the Bay Area.

Most Incredible!!

Whelp…now we’re spoiled for forever & nothing will suffice compared to this VRBO! This was the most incredible place and overall experience! The house is warm, immaculate, and stocked to the gills! The owners/operators are so kind, welcoming and generous with everything! We were in a constant state of awe and gratitude. This stay could not have been more wonderful & you can tell the owners/operators are thoughtful with all the little details and things available. We were staying for my father in laws birthday and this place made it all that much more special. Thank you for the precious memories that we got to create this weekend!

Great stay in Half Moon Bay

I visit Half Moon Bay several times a year because my in laws live there, so I have stayed in numerous locations in the area. This property was one of my favorites. I am a clean freak and thoroughly felt comfortable walking around without shoes and I was very comfortable sitting on the furniture and sleeping in the master bed, which had the most comfortable mattresses and pillows. The property is in great condition, well stocked, well appointed, and has a nice layout. My family of four felt very comfortable here. Regarding location, you truly have the best of both worlds by staying in the downtown area while remaining in walking distance to the beach. The hostess, Pam, was responsive and put forth the effort to make sure we had a great stay. Do yourself a favor a book this property, you will not be disappointed!

Stunning, fabulous appointed, walk to beach

We loved our April 2023 stay at Pam's place. Beautifully decorated, kitchen fully stocked, Devine beds. We absolutely enjoyed all that downtown half moon bay has to offer. The stunning beach is a 15 min walk away. The beach walk at the Ritz is a short drive. There were games and everything one would need for cooking and little welcome presents. Just wow! Top 1% of places I've stayed at. Pam was super responsive as I asked can I rent an electric car and how hard would it be (absolutely feasible with a super charger a block away). We just felt pampered in this airy VRBO!
