Nice House
Nice spacious house in a good quiet location within easy walking distance of beach. Well equipped with a lot of attention to detail - eg rugs provided so you can sit outside in the evening. Owner and manager were responsive to queries/issues. Driveway is not flat - our car (Nissan Altima) kept grounding on the drive but you can park on the street. SUV should be OK

Beautifully well presented house
Have just spent a week in Teresa's beautiful home. Wow, what a place. The attention to detail and furnishings were fantastic - my daughter said it was the most comfortable bed she has ever slept in !! Opportunities to have cosy log fires inside and out, and everything you want in a kitchen. The use of their bikes for the (flat) coastal path was also a great touch. You are personally greeted upon check in by a lovely lady called Lorri who took us around the property and was an appreciated touch. Couldn't recommend this place more.

Lovely stay
We had a wonderful time here. The house is in a perfect location to explore the area and has everything you need to enjoy the beach nearby. We especially enjoyed going on bike rides along the coastal trail and to get to local restaurants, and the easy walking access to a nearby forest trail. My son did surf camp during our stay here and it turned out that the meet up for camp was just dowh the road from us. Perfect week!

Peaceful retreat
We loved staying at Teresa and Glenn's beautiful beachouse. The house was immaculate, very well stocked and incredibly comfortable. Close access to beaches, trails, stores was so convenient. Staying there rather than the city really felt like a vacation, it was very relaxing. The owners were very responsive and we enjoyed the delicious wine and muffins they kindly left for us. A special mention to Lorri who greeted us, her kindness and generosity truly touched our hearts and made our stay even more special. It was a perfect stay!

Great coastside stay
The house is in a nice neighborhood a couple blocks from the beach/harbor. Nicely decorated and very pleasant. We visited the coastside and did San Francisco a couple days (only 30 min drive). Communication and setup was great.

Fabulous family stay in Half Moon Bay
We had a wonderful time at Teresa and Glenn's property! The house is exactly as described and so much more. Whether you're looking to enjoy a quiet stay in HMB or use it (as we did) for home base for your Bay Area excursions, this is a wonderful spot, we could have stayed here forever! The house has all the amenities you need, along with some very sweet surprise treats from Teresa and Glenn. They have thought of everything! Lorri was also very gracious while introducing us to the property and checking us out. She made sure we had everything we needed. We thoroughly enjoyed the back yard and fire pit as well as cooking together in the kitchen. We always had everything we needed for whatever we wanted to do. It was also the perfect, relaxing spot to land after a full day of exploring San Francisco. So close to the beach and the adorable downtown HMB we found this to be the perfect spot with all the amenities we could ask for - and so much more! Thanks to Teresa, Glenn, and Lorri for helping to make our family trip so amazing!!! We can't wait to come back and stay here again.

Beach House Getaway
This was one of the cutest VRBO properties in which we've stayed, and we've stayed in many. We've never had the personal check-in experience that Lori provides. She was so sweet, had some great restaurant recommendations and all the extra goodies she left were just above and beyond the usual amenities. The house itself was in a great location, and made it easy to travel the coast north or south and was a quick drive away from the city, where we attended a concert. Although we were there during the atmospheric river / bomb cyclone event, we built a fire and stayed cozy while watching it rain. The house decor makes it fun to stay indoors and explore all the whimsical details and book collections throughout. Thank you Lori for the care you take and thank you Theresa and Glenn for sharing your home with us. We hope to return some day. Sherri and David Flagstaff, AZ

Great stay!
Overall I am extremely satisfied with our stay. The owners Glenn and Teresa were great in communicating the house and check-in process, and provided some great recommendations for food and activities. The house is amazing, everything was very clean and in a great location near the beach and they city, and the back yard was perfect to sit and enjoy the nice weather. Lorri was very attentive to getting us checked in and out on time, and helped give us a great overview of the house and location. I would highly recommend staying at this house!

Great location, spotless home, wonderful outdoor space
Four adults (my wife and I and my mother and father) stayed at this home for five nights. Teresa, Glenn and Lorri made the experience a breeze. A lovely bottle of wine left for us by our hosts was enjoyed by all, not to mention the incredible muffins and cake baked by Lorri's daughter who operates a bakery nearby! The outdoor area is lovely with a fire pit and and a table for outdoor dining, including an electric heater for cool nights. The location is perfect for going to the harbor, the beach or into Half Moon Bay. Nice, fully-functioning bikes in the garage allowed my wife and I to take a ride down to the nearby Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. Thank you for a wonderful visit!

The home is beautifully appointed (a real designer showcase), perfectly located (a short walk to the ocean & quiet neighborhood) and the manager was an absolute gem! Everything we needed was provided as well as several special, unexpected treats! What gracious hosts, a lovely home, wonderful service from Lori (the manager) - we felt so very special!

Wonderful house wonderful welcome!!
A wonderful house, with a wonderful welcome!! Lori, the manager, cheerfully greeted us upon arrival and showed us around the house. So much more personal and welcoming than a lock box. We were further welcomed with wine, cheese & muffins. The house was wonderful and very clean. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking implements and dishes needed for a 4 week stay like ours. It exceeded our expectations with a very nice backyard with a fire pit, dining table, grill and heater. The play house was a big hit with our grandchildren, with an added surprise of basket of toys waiting for them inside. Our stay at this VRBO could not have been better!! Thank you Theresa, Glen and Lori for making our stay so wonderful!! The location of Half Moon Bay was also very good.

Relaxing Stay By The Sea
Great stay at this coastal home. The accommodations were excellent and the property has everything you need for a relaxing coastal getaway. Having coffee every morning sitting at the patio table in the secluded backyard taking in fresh coastal air - hearing the sounds of the Princeton foghorn and the waves crashing onto the shore - is priceless. This was our second stay and can’t say enough about this vacation home. Thank you!
