Newly renovated terrific property

Newly renovated terrific home with lots of amenities in a good location. We enjoyed our stay and the back deck and hot tub. The no-shoes in the house rule, and the get pre-approval to have guests stop by, was something we had not come across before in multiple VRBO stays.

Great house near Half Moon Bay

Lovely, well-appointed house. Plenty of room for four adults plus. This house is not located on the beach, but is a quick drive and easy parking once you get there. Separated sleeping areas on different floors allowed for privacy. A separate office on the lower level was very helpful for working remotely if necessary. Well-equipped, modern kitchen. Easy drive to great restaurants both in and outside of Half Moon Bay. The owners were extremely communicative and very helpful with our questions.

Beautiful, well equipped home in gorgeous location!

We really enjoyed our stay at Tree Tops. Annette and Fred were super hosts, really responsive when we had questions about the area and helped to quickly remedy the few small things that were not quite right (e.g. missing grill tools). The kitchen was well equipped and we enjoyed walking on the nearby trails. Thanks Annette and Fred!

Beautiful Home

From arrival the landscape out front was beautiful. There is a no-shoes rule and they provided slippers for guest use. The master suite is definitely the star of the home, gorgeous tub and shower. The view from the deck was amazing. It was smaller than it appeared from the photos, only seating for 4 we had a group of 6. The downstairs bedrooms are small but comfortable. Would have preferred to know the second queen bed was actually a pull out couch/bed. Overall the space fit our needs and was beautiful.

Calming views of the woods

This house is beautiful. Three levels with calming views of a woodland area. We came for the Thanksgiving week and found the kitchen, and entire house, exceedingly well stocked with the little things travelers need. Three flashlights came in handy during a storm and power outage on the last night. I would highly recommend the property.

Comfortable and peaceful

We found this home to be peacefully quiet and comfortably restorative, just what we were looking for after our busy days of sight-seeing. It is very well equipped with all the conveniences of home, as well as all instructions for operating the facilities were clear and thoroughly provided. The owners were helpful and easy to communicate with throughout. We appreciated this home’s cleanliness and organization, and the views are spectacular. We highly recommend this home for anyone looking for a peaceful, restorative retreat in Half Moon Bay.

Magical house in HMB

My friends and I loved staying here for my bday. This is one the cleanest houses I’ve stayed at on Vrbo/Airbnb, not to mention beautiful and serene. Annette was great with communication, and happily accommodated my requests for alternative checkin/out times. The master bedroom is beautiful, with a comfortable king bed. The hot tub is a nice extra. FYI, if you plan on getting around with a lyft/uber know that it may take up to 20 mins to get one. I would highly recommend this house and would consider staying again!

Anniversary Trip to Paradise

Traveling from the flat lands of the Midwest to Half Moon Bay, California, could not have been filled with better surprises than we encountered on our trip. Days were busy exploring but it was such a pleasure to come back to suck a beautiful home. Clean, perfectly maintained, room home with fantastic views and amenities.

Spacious quiet home

Our stay at the Tree Top home was very enjoyable. It had all the amenities that one would need or want. The no shoes in the house policy is a major reason the house was so clean. The security check-in procedure was very smooth and easy. The fireplaces added warmth and ambiance.

Best stay in HMB!

We are frequent VRBO renters and found this home to be exceptionally well stocked with every possible creature comfort you would crave to thoroughly enjoy your stay including slippers, robes, cozy blankets to curl up with by the fire (inside or outside, coffee pantry supplies, and plenty of linens, towels etc. That make your feel like you are home. We rented this home over the Christmas week, with our 3 adult children so we could spend time in HMB with our family that also stay in the area for the holidays. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient to downtown HMB, and the owners were a pleasure to interact with (via text message) and even went out of their way to mail us our daughters makeup/jewelry bag accidentally left behind. So nice! A few minor issues were: The neighbors were not very friendly and seemed to give us uncomfortable stares as we came and went over the week. Also there were a few oddities we found that you should be aware of when staying here. The owners want all shoes removed at the front entry due to their recent installment of new hardwood floors and carpets. In general this is understandable since they are trying to preserve their flooring, but may not be realistic or easy to comply with if this is not your normal habit at home. Also the owners have a small apartment onsite under the main home, and could be staying there while you are renting the main house which also may not be as comfortable if you are looking for privacy. They were not there during our rental week, so no issues for us. I Think they live in the main house when it isn’t rented, based on their personal items, pictures, being displayed throughout the home. This also shows in the very high end furnishings and cooking and dining items, which are all top of the line (a plus for us since we love to cook). The only feedback I would give is that they have a home office setup at the bottom of the stairs that you have to walk through to access the 2 guest bedrooms and guest bath on the lower floor which was obviously being used with papers everywhere. I work from home too, but would not want renters walking through my office and potentially rifling through my personal paperwork. Seems like they could put papers away and shift the layout to use the space better? Also, the guest room with Murphy bed is quite hard to sleep on. Perhaps a Feather/memory foam topper could be added? The master suite is awesome and the forest backdrop was so serene We loved our stay!!!

Beautiful home away from home

The property is well-maintained. The home is clean, with lots of windows and natural light. It's comfortably furnished without being overdone, with ample closet and drawer space, as well as open counter tops and surfaces for your stuff. The kitchen set up is wonderful; something we appreciate since we like to cook. It had all the equipment, utensils, and dishes we needed...and knives that were sharp. The deck off the dining room was perfect. We especially liked the "no shoes in the house" rule since we're from Hawaii and like the fact that floors and carpets were very clean so we could walk barefooted inside. The homeowners had thoughtfully left a basket of disposable house slippers for our use--a nice touch! We also really liked the electronic lock so we didn't need to fuss with a key.

Amazing property!

Gorgeous home in the hills above Half Moon Bay, everything top of the line. It felt like a brand new home and they spared no expense making it comfortable. Very quiet and peaceful, perfect for a couple or family. Great kitchen and open concept for gathering or lounging on one of their two super comfy couches to relax and read a book. We especially liked the hot tub on the deck overlooking the eucalyptus trees. Once you arrive you won't want to leave, but if you have to, groceries, restaurants and nightlife are a short distance down the hill. Both the owners were VERY nice and super helpful. We know we'll be back for sure.

Even more than we expected a comfortable, beautiful retreat.

What a beautiful home in a beautiful setting. I spent the weekend here with my daughters and granddaughters as we celebrated and prepared for my daughters beach wedding in Pacifica. The kitchen was a delight for my culinary trained daughter, the dining room was a delightful place for an evening before the wedding dinner for the small wedding party and of course we all enjoyed the hot Tub. The amenities are all high end and the little notes around the kitchen were both helpful and a little amusing to us. My only regret was not having an additional night in this beautiful setting

Lack of privacy: owners staying in basement

Nowhere in the property description does it say that the owners are in the building. It made us uncomfortable for the whole stay (8 days). We would not have rented if we had known this. Otherwise, the house was impeccably clean. The kitchen was well equipped. We cooked all our meals there. It was just my husband and I.

About the host

Hosted by Annette Merriman and Frederick Isaak

Fred and Annette love entertaining and sharing their property The Coastal Tree Tops Retreat for your relaxation enjoyment. They have created a restful retreat in the hills above El Granada (Half Moon Bay) with ocean views. If you are ready to get away from it all - this is the place. All the amenities you may expect from a four or five star resort are here for you to enjoy.

We have recently added: all new and updated deck furniture and refreshed yard.

Whats not to love about this amazing offering? For the most discerning - all of our bedding is new within the last year and includes high end linens, luxurious towels and robes and cushiony rugs underfoot.

For those that may get a chill - we offer slippers, soft and sumptuous throw towels and warm and inviting gas fireplace in the living room and master bathroom.

If we are missing anything = please let us know. We make it our goal to exceed all expectations.

Why they chose this property

Annette and Fred purchased this property more than 20 years ago when they decided to move out of the city of San Francisco and truly embrace living life on vacation.

This is a perfect relaxing home base for your Northern California, San Francisco, trip. The home is spacious and designed for entertaining. The retreat can comfortably can sleep six in three comfortable beds and three and a half bathrooms. Hot tub makes the relaxing even easier.

What makes this property unique

Placed up the hill from El Granada Surfers Beach (one mile) and Sams Chowder House (Restaurant and Bar) the weather is much sunnier, warmer and clearer than many locations in the Coastal area that are lower or closer to the ocean.

Location is often warmer than closer to the ocean. Average year round weather here in El Granada mid 60s to 70s during the day with strong sunshine most days. Evenings are cooler and may include stronger breeze, fog and at times drizzle.
