Absolutely incredible stay. Don’t plan to do much more than sit on the back deck and stare out at the amazing view! Hiked Mori Point every morning - tried a different coffee shop each day - easy commute to SF and down to Stanford University - that is IF you can leave this beautiful home (stocked with everything you need). Can’t wait to be back!
The property was very comfortable, well equipped and very clean. The view of the ocean from their property is beautiful. The hosts were exceptional. They went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable. Thank you very much Cathy and Tom.
The property and amenities were lovely! The house was very well supplied and the ocean views and yard outstanding. The host was incredibly responsive, the house perfectly set up for guests, very clean and welcoming. Thanks a million, we can’t wait to return!
We had the most amazing stay at this property; everything we needed was provided and you just can't beat the views and sounds of the ocean. We had all kinds of plans while we were in the area but some of our most cherished memories are of just being at the property, playing games, and relaxing.
Great family getaway. Home is very clean & thoughtfully stocked. Perfect to cook for full family while watching the whales, dolphins, sea birds and even a lone seal through the amazing front window. Owners are very responsive. Safe neighborhood in reach of the city.
Amazing views right on the ocean above some rocks. Very private. Relaxing sound of waves. Nice kitchen and sofa and TV set up. Comfy beds with desks and big closets. Friendly owner. Would definitely come back. Very close to SF.
This house is so incredible! The view, the interior, the kitchen…don’t hesitate to stay here! Pacifica is a cute beach town and it’s so close to SF. It’s a great location for checking out lots of beautiful local beaches, going into the city and even heading north to see some redwoods. Staying here was a highlight of our trip. Cathy is a wonderful host and I hope to stay here again soon.
Great location. Quiet and peaceful. Easy drive into SF and half Moon Bay. Came from the Sierras and the drive was as easy as I could have expected. Hosts were gracious and we will come back again to stay. Recommend highly.
For a small family outing (4 adults) it was fantastic. We enjoyed the absolutely stunning views and saw many marine animals (seals, dolphins and many humpback whales). Great area for dining, hanging out or heavy game of hearts. Home loaded with many nice options to make it a very comfortable stay.would highly recommend.
House was clean, very cute. Well stocked for lots of activities. Easy access to local area and not too far from downtown San Francisco.
Great communication with host.
We were most pleased with our stay at Ocean-Front Home. The house is clean, our stay was comfortable, the Pacific Ocean is literally the backyard, and the city is in close proximity.
The kitchen and house are well stocked with most everything anyone could need for a “Home Away from Home”. Tom and Cathy are the ABSOLUTE best hosts.
If we return to Pacifica/SF, we will definitely choose this property again if available. We highly recommend Ocean-Front Home!
This home was just magical. It had everything we needed and more. I don’t think it could’ve been any better. The pictures do not do the property justice and that backyard view was a dream every day. Thank you for everything.
Family w special needs child had FABULOUS peaceful vacation
Anyone with a special needs family member understands how difficult any vacation is to plan or navigate. Well, our little famnily of 3 including our child had the most peaceful relaxing anf luxurious stay in this home. Perfect does not capture how we feel and how WONDERFUL the owners are. Thank you thank you. We hope to return again.
This was our 6th stay at this property. As always, the owners are absolutely meticulous, organized and generous beyond words! Beautiful note and wine left for my birthday, furnishings are comfy and deliberate in their functionality, and THE OCEAN! There is absolutely NOTHING like opening the front door and having that initial view of the ocean roiling and playing down the backyard cliff! We never sleep better than when we are sleeping at Cathy & Tom's beautiful thought out home in Pacifica!
It is a wonderful surprise to enter a rental property and have it surpass expectations. We felt fully welcomed into someone’s home. For the style of two bedroom ranch home sitting right above the crashing waves of the pacific, this place is beautifully and practically appointed. The kitchen is spectacular. If you love to cook even while vacationing, this is the place. The hosts are welcoming, accessible and make it clear they want you to feel like like family.
Enjoy!!
My husband and I took my little sister and her family on vacation with us and this home was amazing! It’s well stocked for everything and everyone! The view is breath taking and super close to beaches in both directions! The host Cathy and Tom communicated with us via messages about anything and everything we could possibly need right up to check in day! Even left us a welcome gift on the counter! We had an amazing time here and you will too! Definitely on our return to list for future trips! Thanks Cathy and Tom for the unforgettable memories you helped create!
As a person obsessed with the ocean, this house was the best ocean view I have ever had. Spent a lot of time on the deck with binoculars, just watching the ocean, great, hiking trail to the cliffs past the pier and used the house as a base to visit Miramar Beach, Fort Funston and Half Moon Bay for a really great, relaxing, peaceful vacation. Lots of great places to eat, but we looked forward each day to coming back to just enjoy the views. The owners had everything we needed and more to make our stay perfect. They went above and beyond the usual rental expectations.
The usual perfection in one of the more beautiful months of the five times we’ve stated this property. Mornings were spent stretching by the ocean and watching dolphins play. Evenings spent cooking, listening to music and falling asleep to the waves. The generosity and kindness of the owners is unmatched. Thank you again, Cathy and Tom and looking forward to returning in the spring!
We heard the gorgeous sound of the waves all the time and seagulls floated by our windows. Very quiet and serene. Open Kitchen/livingroom gave an expansive and homey feel. Matress in master is firm and fantastic. Bathrooms were a bit small but practical. The hosts were extremely responsive with integrity. We spend a lot of time exploring Half Moon Bay which is a 10 minute drive from Pacifica.
We spent a beautiful Christmas in this gorgeous home with all the creature comforts and stunning view! Cathy and Tom were lovely to check in on us when the weather turned and the waves soared. Despite the record setting weather, we enjoyed every second, we used the chef's kitchen to have a lovely Christmas dinner and enjoyed playing Christmas tunes on the piano as the tremendous waves came in. Truly can't wait to come back! Thank you for all the special holiday touches, Cathy and Tom! xo
I don't think there are enough wonderful things to say about both the home and our overall experience! First, YES, it is right on the water. Absolutely incredible!!!!! The home is more than beautiful. In fact, I believe that it might be one of the most thoughtfully designed houses we have ever had the pleasure to rent. Not a single bit of wasted space. So easy to navigate--beautifully stocked--impeccably clean. It is so spacious feeling and comfortable. The design made it feel far larger than it actually was. From watching tv in the main room on the comfy couch to cooking meals in the beautifully organized kitchen to simply sitting on the deck watching the mighty ocean--everything was perfect! Check in a breeze--beds comfy--perfection! I want to note that we had business in San Francisco every day, and it was a super convenient location for getting to and from quickly. Without question we will be back! Bravo Cathy!
The property hosts have thought of EVERYTHING that makes a lovely beach stay. Cords everywhere for charging our devices, motion-sensitive night lights to keep us safe, abundant kitchen supplies for those who resemble a chef more than I do, drawers and cupboards full of spices and condiments, even guitars and ukuleles come along with the grand piano! The Abels are very generous people, allowing us to use all of this. The home was clean; there was a binder of instructions to make everything usable. Of course, the most important part was the view of the Pacific, and pelicans, and the pier! Lovely location!
Our recent stay at Cathy & Tom’s vacation home was nothing short of extraordinary. Every inch of the interior has been renovated to perfection. The property exudes sophistication with meticulously chosen furnishings, creating a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen is a culinary haven.
Located on one of the most spectacular sections of pacific coast, the property offers an unparalleled experience with curling waves crashing against rocks just beyond the windows or right next to you on the beautiful back deck.
Cathy & Tom were responsive, welcoming and friendly. This was a truly wonderful and worry-free experience.
