About this property
Entire place
You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.
180-Degree Ocean Views | Deck + Hillside
Wake up to 180-degree panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean from this hillside
3-bedroom retreat in El Granada, just 40 minutes south of San Francisco and
minutes from Half Moon Bay. The home's expansive deck stretches across the
living and dining room level, offering unobstructed ocean and rolling hills
views from morning fog to sunset.
**THE SPACE**
This 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home accommodates up to 6 guests in a layout that
balances open-concept living with privacy. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the
interior with natural light and frame the Pacific views from inside. The fully
equipped kitchen opens to the dining area, making it easy to cook and dine
while watching the ocean.
_**Bedroom 1:**_ King bed | **_Bedroom 2:_** Queen bed | **_Bedroom 3:_** Queen bed
**DECK AND OUTDOOR SPACE**
The signature feature of this property is the expansive outdoor deck, directly
accessible from the living and dining rooms. It is an ideal space for al
fresco dining, sunset cocktails, and stargazing along the San Mateo Coast. The
surrounding mature eucalyptus trees add natural beauty and privacy. As with
any property surrounded by mature trees, leaf fall is part of the natural
environment, particularly on windy coastal days. Our team maintains the deck
regularly, and we appreciate your understanding of this coastal setting.
**LOCATION**
El Granada sits at the northern edge of the Half Moon Bay coastline, offering
quick access to Mavericks Beach, one of the world's most famous big wave surf
breaks - just 5 minutes away. The J.V. Fitzgerald Marine Reserve and Seal Cove
Cypress Tree Tunnel are 10 minutes by car. Half Moon Bay State Beach and the
historic downtown Half Moon Bay are 14 minutes south. San Francisco
International Airport is approximately 30 minutes north.
**NEARBY EVENTS AND ATTRACTIONS**
This property is well positioned for Half Moon Bay's signature events and
seasonal experiences: the world-famous Half Moon Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival,
the Half Moon Bay Wine and Jazz Festival, whale watching season along the
coast, and the California Cigar Box Guitar Festival. Pillar Point Harbor,
Sam's Chowder House, Half Moon Bay Brewing Company, and La Costanera are all
within 5 to 10 minutes.
Attending FIFA World Cup 2026 matches at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara? The
property is approximately a 45 to 55 minutes drive. A scenic coastal retreat
is a far better base than a city hotel during one of the Bay Area's busiest
events!
**IDEAL FOR**
Weekend escapes from San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Couples retreats and
family gatherings. Coastal hiking and outdoor adventure. Whale watching,
surfing, and tide pool exploration at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve.
Please note - Our property features stunning, mature eucalyptus trees that
adds beauty, shade, and character to the outdoor space. As part of nature's
charm, the tree does shed leaves regularly—especially on windy days. While our
gardener maintains the area and blows leaves frequently, it’s normal to see
leaves on the deck before or during your stay. Thank you for understanding
that this is part of the natural environment, and we hope you enjoy the
peaceful, tree-filled setting as much as we do!
Coastal Microclimate El Granada is part of a beautiful coastal community that
enjoys a refreshing ocean breeze and a relaxed seaside atmosphere. Thanks to
our unique microclimate, the weather here can shift throughout the day—often
starting with cool, misty mornings that give way to sunny, mild afternoons.
It’s part of the charm of being so close to the ocean! We recommend packing a
few light layers so you can stay comfortable while enjoying everything this
stunning coastal location has to offer.

This place is in a very quiet neighborhood with views of the ocean from the back deck. It was clean and inviting, other then the musty smell in the downstairs bedroom. Check in process was a little different and the instructions were not clear. The email recieved prior to check in had the door code, but no instructions on how to use the door code - it took us 20 minutes to figure out.(I have never seen a keyless door code like that) instructions said street parking and the instruction book in the house said you could park in the driveway. The wifi tap wasnt working properly & there are no wash clothes. Aside from these things, we would stay agian. Overall it was a great stay. We did see deer just above the deck one morning and that was nice.

Beautiful Property
We enjoyed our stay so much we really didn’t want to leave. The home is beautiful and we wanted for nothing, everything was stocked that we needed for our relaxing weekend, all we needed was groceries which was located right down the street, as well as the beautiful beaches and yummy restaurants- recommend Sam’s for delicious seafood and a walk along the shore to Mavericks … we will absolutely be back and to this property!
