Coastal Retreat in Half Moon Bay - Walk to beaches. Surf. See seals 🦭

The 'grandest getaway' in Half Moon Bay.

A sprawling 3,000 sqft property in the premium beachside community of Moss Beach. Perfect for large groups!

Enjoy the mesmerizing beauty of the coast. Walk to beaches, tide pools, coastal trails, the harbor, fresh-caught seafood, oceanfront restaurants, coastal farms & quaint seaside towns. We have the best location along the coast! 😊

Wake up to crisp ocean air. Savor your morning coffee with the sound of breaking surf in our fully fenced backyard.

PLEASE NOTE:
Many other homes in Half Moon Bay advertise a loft or spare room as a bedroom. They lack heat/cool & don’t have smoke/CO alarms. They also lack privacy (no doors) making it difficult for multiple families on a vacation.
However, our house has 5 full bedrooms without any of the issues mentioned above.
