Perfect for our memorial
Unfortunately, a good friend ours recently passed away. We wanted to find a place near Half Moon Bay where we could gather and hold a small memorial. This house was perfect for us - enough beds to sleep in and open space to sit and talk. Our host was very accommodating and helpful throughout. I would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful family reunion for seniors
We are a group of 9 seniors mostly over 70s. The house is spacious and the rooms comfortable with enough bathrooms for all. The kitchen is well equipped with coffee and most spices and cooking products and cooking utensils. There are markets close by for essentials and great restaurants We loved the walks close by the beach. Sharin is a thoughtful host and quick to respond to our questions and requests. We would have no hesitation staying there again

Large property in beautiful area
Our large (15) multigenerational group wanted to stay near a beach, near San Francisco. This property was large enough for us using the upstairs and downstairs. The kitchen upstairs accommodated all the cooks and worked well.
There was plenty of parking and it was a quiet area.
It was close to trails and beaches and food options were good. We enjoyed our stay. Responses were very good with Sharin.
