A wonderful week in Half Moon Bay

The house was a hit from the start. This place had everything we needed: safe neighborhood, a well-equipped kitchen for home-cooked meals, a cozy living room - stocked with games and toys for relaxing, a nice backyard with a grill - where we made dinners during sunset and the kids played, and quiet nights of sound sleep— if felt like a cabin out in nature. Every day was packed with activities. We biked along the coastal trail, sampled the local cuisine, and watched sunsets that made us forget about city life. The kids turned into treasure hunters on the beach, collecting shells and coming up with names and tales about each one. By the end of the trip, none of us wanted to leave—especially the kids.

Easter at rhe Beach

It was super. Just one comment on your BBQ...does not seem to heat up adequately. Cooked filets Easter and could not get hot enough for Black and Blue steaks. The steaks were still wonderful! I think ypu asked for feedback on BBQ and sofa bed or I would never say a word. We did not use the aofa bed to sleep on so no feedback for you. All in all you have a great beach house with a terrific location. Thank you for your hospitality!! Bob

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Casserly & John Ortiz

We are a family of beach lovers (especially my wife) who enjoy having a beach retreat that is easily accessible to San Francisco, San Jose, and the SF Bay area.

Why they chose this property

We love this location because it is easy to get to, and it is next to the beach, bike trails, hiking trails and so many ocean activities. We also find the people in Half Moon Bay to be very friendly.

What makes this property unique

Here are 9 of our favorite Activiteis:

(1) Easy beach outings!
(2) Evening hot dog and marshmallow roasts on the beach
(3) Taking a run along the bluffs and returning along the beach collecting shells.
(4) Biking along the Coastal Trail up to Princeton by the Sea for a seafood meal at Sam's Chowder House or Barabara's Fish Trap (2 local Favorites)
(5) Biking or driving a few minutes to town for a Sunday morning chocolate croissant or Farmers Market (seasonal)
(6) Easy access to Coastal Repertory Live Theater
(7) Enjoying a romantic evening sunset on our beach at the end of our street
(8) Savoring a sunset glass of wine at the Ritz-Carlton hotel while listening to the bagpipers playing the sunset tunes
(9) A cozy nighttime fire in the living room listening to music with the sounds of waves crashing and occasional blares of the foghorns drifting through the windows
