About this property

Pedro Point Commanding Ocean View Home, 20 minutes south of SF to quiet paradise

From Linda Mar Bay , to the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge and as far north as Point Reyes, these views are from every room. Relax and watch the surfers and breaking waves in this unique spacious, private retreat. Open floor plan utilizes the view and a grand entry with a vaulted sky light introduces you to the space. Fully stocked kitchen is the hub of the downstairs living area. A custom made wood slab dining table with seating for up to eight is in the dining room, surrounded by two huge sliding glass doors that open to the deck and is surrounded by ocean views. The living room has a fireplace and more custom built furniture as well as a large flat screen TV. The two downstairsbedroomsboth have queen beds with fine linens and a full bath is close by. The open stair case leads to the private master suite, with mater bath, that includes a large walk in shower and walk in closet. The large custom made platform bed sit in front of a huge sliding glass door that leads to a large private deck, that also has commanding views of the bay. Warm yourself by the fireplace and view the stars and watch the moon reflecting off the bay and breaking waves. I'm sure you will agree this is a true ocean view retreat.

PHENOMENAL
If you're looking for a staycation getaway that hits all the marks (decor, space, environment, ease, near the beach, great landlord) book this property STAT. Beautiful grounds, outside and in....makes you feel like you took a plane ride somewhere else.

What a perfect place for our family. The home was spacious, clean, and equipped with all we needed, not to mention a spectacular view of the ocean. And Terrie could not have been more responsive and accommodating. We hope to return one day soon.

Great place to stay
Plenty of space for our family of 5 (one slept on the couch). Location is about 30 minutes to San Francisco which was perfect for us. View of the beach is awesome! Don’t expect a state of the art home with all the fancy fixtures. Yes it could use some updating but that’s not why you’re staying here. Terry was a great host left us a bottle of wine and easy check in. Would definitely stay again if we were to come back to the area.

Stunning view- total experience
This was one of our best rental experiences! So welcoming and inviting and the house itself was very cool. The view was amazing- just breathtaking. My daughter and I walked into town for coffee and we walked up the hill for a sunrise view so the location was perfect on so many levels. We definitely hope to be back!

A view with whales
We stayed at Pedro Point after a Road Trip through California. The house was located at a hill with a stunning view over the bay. We were lucky to see a few whales right from the deck and even the breakfast table every day! Terry was a great host, answering every question within minutes. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed ! The location offers short distances to visit San Francisco and the coast south via Highway 1 to Monterey etc… we just had to get used to the fog hanging at this part of the coast …

Needs basic maintenance completed.
AWESOME VIEW! You are definitely paying for the view and you are getting that. However, some basic kitchen items need to be fixed or replaced (ie blender held together with duct tape). Laundry lights need to be replaced and the duct tape on the dryer door needs to be replaced otherwise the dryer has a hard time working. Lastly, a fresh coat of paint to cover impections and the metal showing on the drywall corner beads. Again the view is worth it but the the property feels a little tired.

Loud close construction obstructed view
A total fraud. Said quiet neighborhood.The ocean view pictures I saw turned out to be blotted out by construction with noise so loud and so close you couldn’t even escape it in the house so the deck was unusable. Did everything right. Notified owner & VRBO sent pictures which were not what was on the site. Checked out next day. Didn’t use showers or cook. Asked for a partial refund as I had to pay another 3 grand to take my family elsewhere. This was May 12th and both this owner and VRBO have strung me along, but no refund. I paid $3000 to stat one night in a place you would not want to go. I only gave one star because you can’t give zero.

2/10 Terrible

First disappointment with vrbo
Location is much farther removed from the ocean than the pictures on the website suggest. The place needs major maintenance inside and out. The downstairs bathroom was shockingly bad with paint peeling off the walls, stain ring around the toilet, one towel rack barely clinging to the wall, etc. No lights next to beds in our downstairs bedroom, one bluish white light in a cheap glass ball on the ceiling, no drawers there, only sheers on one window; the view windows along the entire front of the house were dirty, the main part of the wood floor worn down; the deck has holes from dry rot and a rose bush growing up through the slats; would not stay there ever again. Made us wonder about vrbo's inspection process. The only good things were the heating system and an unusual dining room table. Also the host who lives next door was very nice to our guests.

Great location
Our host, Terry was great. The location and the view were amazing! The house itself was very clean, however, it could use a little tlc. Peeling paint in some areas of the house, hardwood floors need some detailing but again, these are minor things. I had a great stay and would consider coming back.

About the host

Hosted by Terry Hoff

Host profile image
I have lived on Pedro point for over 30 years and I'm a professional artist, professor and furniture maker. I teach at a SF university and have a local studio. The art in the home is made by my friends and some of the furniture is also made by me, I also built the home in 1992 with two friends of mine, the home was designed by a SF architect. If there is any questions about the home, myself and the art, feel free to ask.

Why they chose this property

Pedro Point is a special spot, located just 20 minutes south of San Francisco yet has a fell of being much further away. The natural beauty of this eclectic community with it's rich history I'm sure you will enjoy and come to love as much as me. All of the homes are different and most are custom built, lots of trees and meandering streets are everywhere to stroll on and take in the beauty of "the Point". There is plenty to be discovered in this special spot.

What makes this property unique

Walking, biking and public transportation are all within a few minutes. Linda Mar Park n Ride is a 10 minute walk and Samtrans 110, 112 and 118 take you directly to Bart. The coastal highway 1 is just down the hill, north to SF and the wine country or south to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz is all there is you feel like driving. Everything is close yet you seem so far away.
