Comments from past guests:

'We just wanted to thank you for the use of your house in Half Moon Bay. We did many
things while in the area, Alcatraz, Muir Woods, Wine Country, Fishermans Wharf Etc.
But when I asked our family what was their favorite thing, they said 'where we stayed'
It really is a nice place, and so peaceful. Everyone had their own space...'

This getaway is perfect for mature adults who want a relaxing upscale environment and amenities in a quiet community setting. Two skylights and surrounding windows provide natural light in the vaulted ceiling main living area, situated on the second floor, which gives its one of the best views in the gated community of Ocean Colony.

Each large uniquely decorated bedroom has view of either the fairway or mountains and is appointed with a quality queen-size bed and a full private bathroom. Hardwood floors abound. There is a balcony off the living/dining area and garden patio area off the downstairs bedrooms. A large drive plus a two-car garage provide off street parking. The residence is just a five-minute walk to the famed Ritz Carlton Hotel and ocean walkway.

As my guest and hopefully future friend, I am committed to make your stay enjoyable while respecting the quiet enjoyment of my neighbors and rules that govern the community.

General Location: Half an hour from San Francisco, San Francisco International Airport (SFO), Stanford and Palo Alto. Half Moon Bay is known for its hiking, biking, surfing, and kayaking, and picturesque downtown area with its local restaurants, shops, music, and theater. This coastal home is in the private gated community of Ocean Colony, and is a five-minute walk to the Ritz Carlton, beach and walking trails. Nearby beaches include Montara, Moss Beach, Half Moon Bay, San Gregorio, and Pescadero. This is also a great jumping off point for day trips to the wine country, and the cities of Santa Cruz and Monterey, Muir Woods, Stinson Beach and Stanford.

Nearby is Princeton Harbor, a working harbor where you can buy your fresh/smoked fish, go on a deep-sea fishing trip, or fish/crab from the pier. The protected beaches within the harbor are wonderful for children, and the bluff walks above provide views of the world-famous Mavericks surfing area, elegant cypresses, and pounding waves. A flat paved 14-mile long bicycle trail runs from the Harbor along the beaches past Half Moon Bay and other trails are to be found along the bluffs, and coastal mountains.

The seaside town of Half Moon Bay with its galleries and restaurants are a short five minute drive north. Enjoy the culinary talents of chefs at a host of restaurants, like the Navio at the Ritz-Carlton, or the award-winning Cetrella, or Zagat-rated Cafe Gibraltor, or watch the sunset from the Moss Beach Distillery or go to Duarte's in Pescadero and order their delectable artichoke soup.

Further south are San Gregorio and Pescadero with their beautiful beaches, bird marshes and Pigeon Point Lighthouse. Ano Nuevo State Park is home to the famous Elephant Seals (November through March reservations required). Sunny Santa Cruz has wonderful surfing beaches and Boardwalk is a short hour south. 20-min East you will find yourself in the redwoods, Skyline Blvd with its panoramic vistas of the Peninsula. Easy day trips include Napa/Sonoma Valley, Monterey Bay, Sacramento and Sausalito/Stinson Beach/Muir Woods.

Close by are several science/tech museums (Exploratorium/ San Jose Tech Museum), the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Great America.

Great Location
Location was amazing. Host was very easy to communicate with. I’m sure the host is aware, but the building is in disrepair with dry rot and needing paint. The adjacent building was being fixed.so perhaps this one is next. Furnishings and fixtures need to be updated. Place was clean.

Beautiful home in Half Moon Bay
We were in town for a wedding, and this home was the perfect place to rest, and relax after all the events. Comfortable beds, full kitchen, beautiful views, and comfortable living area furniture. The owners photographic collections were amazing. The owner was always available, check in was seamless, and we had no problems at all while staying here. We would definitely recommend this beautiful home and would love to come back.

Great location, nice stay
We visited our daughter for a few days in HMB and we had a pleasant stay in this beautiful location. While we enjoyed our stay, there are a few things that one should know before booking: -this property has cathedral ceilings so it is quite echoey, so if you are planning to work remotely you might want to take into account that phone calls or zoom meetings will sound echoey -two of the three bedrooms are on the lower level and smell somewhat musty. They are very spacious but the smell is there. The upper bedroom does not have this issue. - there are a few minor issues that are easily remedied, such as broken shower curtain rings, no place to put toiletries in one of the showers, and no measuring cups/spoons. Despite these relatively minor issues we did have a nice stay and appreciate the hospitality.

Wonderful stay
This is the perfect location if you are looking for a quiet and very walkable spacious home to stay for short or longer term. be advised as other comments state, that it is multilevel, so may not suit those who are elderly or disabled. although could use some updates, it was comfortable and stocked with keurig, coffee maker, blender, etc. as well as some Spices, etc. Very easy and beautiful walk to coastal trail and ritz Carlton, although we did not eat there.

Dated but works.

Very little air circulation downstairs. Broken chair on patio. Dirty windows. Had to clean them inorder to enjoy view. Power cords exposed and dangerous. Wouldn't take much to remedy these issues.

Nice Rental with great access to coastal walk
Really liked this location and we walked to the Ritz for dinner and lunch a few times as well as using the coastal trail for walking and running. Please update the automatic email check-in instructions from VRBO admin with the correct WiFi instructions (they were correct in the binder on the kitchen table but not on the email so that took some time to figure out). Jeff, the owner, was very responsive. We enjoyed our stay!

Quiet, convenient townhome in Ocean Colony
Terrific property for six (two grandparents, two parents, a 16 y.o. and a 12 y.o.). We annually visit HMB for family reunions and this is the best property we've found for our group size. Located just off the OC golf course at the development's west end in a neighborhood of most retired folks, this well-appointed, well-furnished, and very clean and well-kept townhome has everything needed for a quiet, comfortable short-stay in HMB. Walk/run to the beach, short run to downtown, but the loudest noises will be the ping of a golf ball and an electric golf cart. Very well-kept townhome sleeps six comfortably. Property description is 100% accurate. Owner was extremely gracious and an excellent communicator. Very highly recommended, and hope to stay here again.
