We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was great and exceeded our expectations. The views and proximity to the water was better than what the pictures showed. Great property and I would recommend it to other families.

This house is as advertised - amazing ocean view and just steps away from the nature preserve and walking trails! Safe and quiet neighborhood away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Grocery stores and many restaurants are just a 5-10 minute drive away. Master bedroom, kitchen and family room are up on second floor and 3 guest bedrooms share a bathroom on the lower floor. The hot tub was clean, well maintained and easy to access.

I live in the Bay Area and booked this stay for a quick getaway with friends to celebrate my 50th birthday. It was perfect! It is clean and has a great location, amazing views, and tons of space. The beds were very comfortable there is plenty of room for 7 adults. I would highly recommend it. All my friends wanted the info to book their own getaways. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

This home is in a quiet neighborhood with great ocean views. We wanted a home a little outside of San Fransico to get away and relax and this was a great choice to stay when not out sightseeing. Plenty of room for family and located near woods & ocean. Communication with owner was great & very accommodating. Would definitely stay again.

We had a lovely stay! The house was so clean, and we appreciated it being well stocked with basic necessities!! It was easy for us to enjoy simple meals with the kitchen supplies. We loved the patio deck as well as the hot tub was a highlight in the cool evenings. Thank you for a great time

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Moss Beach. Even though it was cold, it was a good excuse to enjoy the view and the hot tub. We would certainly re-visit this VRBO home.

We were four friends from high school who were celebrating our 75th birthdays this year. The beach house was perfect for us, as it had everything we needed to relax and catch up with each other. It was super easy check in, and after having a wonderful lunch at the Ritz Carlton the first day, all of our meals were at the house. We bbq'd, walked along the coast, enjoyed wine on the balcony and had a great time. Andreia was friendly and easy to communicate with both in checking in and out. Would definitely go back!

This was the perfect location to bring 6 high schoolers to celebrate my daughter’s 18th birthday. Hiking, hot tub, lunch at the iconic Pacifica Taco Bell, beach walks, beautiful views and a great kitchen to cook in. Cozy, well appointed and perfect for small groups or families. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.

Amazing time. Views are outstanding. accommodation’s were great. Very clean & comfortable, plenty of room. The writers room is a must to sleep in. The sound of waves as you fall asleep, l slept like a baby. Cannot wait to go back. Maybe in August or September not June gloom next time. But still amazing despite the fog.

Everything was beyond our expectations, it wasn’t only clean but very comfortable. Slept like a log. Just the atmosphere the neighborhood everything it’s for no words you have to go on experience it it was magical. Thank you so much to our hosts. They were amazing.

My self and family stayed at this house during the pumpkin festival recently. The property was amazing! Right down the street from beach access. The porch over looking the water was a great place to sit and relax. Check in and check out were super easy. Clean and a great place to bring kids because they could run around in the back yard. Only note would be maybe need some drapes or blinds on the room outside by the hot tub. We would defiantly stay here again.

This place was as described, down to the cabinet knobs that will snag your clothes and knock your hand. Loved everything except the beach access during the winter. Wasn’t able to enjoy the beach right in front of us. Otherwise awesome!

The house was as pictured and was very clean. The view and sounds of the ocean were spectacular. One thing i was a little disappointed in was that the two fireplaces shown in the pictures were decorative, not operational. It did get chilly in the evening and a fire would have been awesome, even from a fire pit. Overall, I would definitely return and recommend.

The house made me and my family feel safe and comfortable. The decor in the house was fresh and welcoming! The only disappointment we had was the beach park in front of the home was closed down permanently. It was a short walk to the nearest beach. It was not a deal breaker because the views were breath taking, although the reason we did decide to pay a higher price was to have quick access to the beach from our home. Since the park is permanently closed now it might be a good idea to update the beach access options. Other than that we enjoyed it very much!

The house was perfect for our family of four "mini-vacation" (four day long weekend) to the San Francisco area. Located about halfway between SF and Palo Alto on the coast. With two teen-aged kids, we were less than an hour from SF (and day trip to Muir Woods), and we were also 45 minutes from Stanford for a college visit. Nearby Half Moon Bay, and we did another day trip down to Monterey/Carmel. The house itself is great: very clean and well furnished, with multiple bedrooms, and otherwise "as-advertised." Great communication with the owner. Steps from the nearby nature preserve, which we also greatly enjoyed each day. It was beautiful seeing the west-coast sunset over the Pacific (including at the nearby Moss Beach Distillery restaurant)!

Beautiful view of the ocean! Loved the location. The hot tub wasn't working as advertised. The freezer had a huge chunk of frost ... maybe a seal problem. The WiFi wouldn't let additional users the first night. The one queen in the big room needed a box springs. But overall we had an awesome time. Too bad the reserve was closed for exploring the tide pools.

This home is truly lovely, with a stunning view and relaxing layout that's perfect for unwinding. Colors are soothing, beds are super comfy, and everything is very clean. The beach is only two minutes away, and be sure to hurry back for a dip in the hot tub. My only complaint is the knobs on the kitchen cabinets, which have a fluted aluminum piece on that easily catches on your clothes. They ripped a hole in a favorite pair of pants as I was walking by, and almost ripped a second pair! But overall: extremely satisfied, and would highly recommend.

This is a beautiful house with stunning water views. Works best for a family because of the bathroom arrangement...small common bath on entry level, then upstairs (where the living/dining/kitchen area is) the bath is in the master bedroom. A bit awkward. The house is will appointed.and the kitchen is well equiped, but NO food/condiments/etc.other than coffee. We did encounter ants in the kitchen, and there were bait things, but they did nothing to keep the ants away. We'd go back now that we know what to expect.
