About this property

Coastal Retreat - 3,000 sqft, Pets Ok, Walk 2 Beach & Tidepools, Surf, see Seals

The 'grandest getaway' in Half Moon Bay.

A sprawling 3,000 sqft property in the premium beachside community of Moss Beach. Perfect for large groups!

Enjoy the mesmerizing beauty of the coast. Walk to beaches, tide pools, coastal trails, the harbor, fresh-caught seafood, oceanfront restaurants, coastal farms & quaint seaside towns. We have the best location along the coast!

Wake up to crisp ocean air. Savor your morning coffee with the sound of breaking surf in our fully fenced backyard.

▶︎ About the Property

This property is located on the cul-de-sac of a quiet seaside community. Arrive at our property through a large private driveway that can accommodate 5 cars! 

You'll experience the grandeur of our massive 3,000 sqft home with 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. This is the “largest vacation home” in Half Moon Bay. It's all on just 2 levels. So, it’s super expansive & spacious.

• Two fully equipped kitchens.
• Two office areas with desk & chair.
• 3,000 sqft, 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms.

PLEASE NOTE:
Many other homes in Half Moon Bay advertise a loft or spare room as a bedroom. They lack heat/cool & don’t have smoke/CO alarms. They also lack privacy (no doors) making it difficult for multiple families on a vacation.
However, our house has 5 full bedrooms without any of the issues mentioned above.

• 3-minute drive to Pillar Point Harbor and Ross Cove. Experience marine mammals like seals in the wild. (The smell of the ocean, seaweed & kelp may be unbearable for some)
• Dozens on white sand beaches, restaurants, and trails are just a short distance away!

Perfect for our memorial

Unfortunately, a good friend ours recently passed away. We wanted to find a place near Half Moon Bay where we could gather and hold a small memorial. This house was perfect for us - enough beds to sleep in and open space to sit and talk. Our host was very accommodating and helpful throughout. I would definitely stay here again!

Large property in beautiful area

Our large (15) multigenerational group wanted to stay near a beach, near San Francisco. This property was large enough for us using the upstairs and downstairs. The kitchen upstairs accommodated all the cooks and worked well. There was plenty of parking and it was a quiet area. It was close to trails and beaches and food options were good. We enjoyed our stay. Responses were very good with Sharin.

Wonderful family reunion for seniors

We are a group of 9 seniors mostly over 70s. The house is spacious and the rooms comfortable with enough bathrooms for all. The kitchen is well equipped with coffee and most spices and cooking products and cooking utensils. There are markets close by for essentials and great restaurants We loved the walks close by the beach. Sharin is a thoughtful host and quick to respond to our questions and requests. We would have no hesitation staying there again
