Coastal home - walk to beach/close to San Francisco and San Jose

Seaside Retreat is located in a quiet neighborhood just a 10 minute walk to Surfer's Beach and the Coastal Trail, walking distance to Sam's Chowder House and Princeton Harbor and just 4 miles to historic Half Moon Bay. Its the perfect base for enjoying the Bay Area, situated 40 minutes south of San Francisco and an hour north of San Jose. Decorated with a nautical theme, you’ll love our place because of how light and cozy it feels.

Travelers visiting Seaside Retreat will have access to a completely private, self-contained ground floor unit of a duplex. There are two bedrooms which have very comfortable beds (one room has a king bed and the other has a queen), luxury bedding and quiet sitting areas. There is a cozy living room with flat screen TV and a pullout queen-size sofa bed to accommodate additional guests. Please note, the pull-out sofa is best suited for children as the mattress is not as thick as the ones in the bedrooms.
There is a counter area equipped with a laptop station to check your email or catch up on work as needed. Alternatively there is a portable desk that can be set up anywhere in the unit for work-at-home-away-from-home comfort. Wifi and basic office amenities are provided. Printer can be provided upon request.
The kitchen is bright, spacious and fully equipped for preparing a simple snack or a gourmet meal. The dining area is adjacent to the kitchen and easily accommodates 6 people with optional leaf added. Books about the area, local magazines and card and board games are provided for your enjoyment. The unit has a small deck and access to a back yard with a ping pong table and brick patio with outdoor dining and grill available.
By prior arrangement with the owner, travelers can have access to a washer and dryer located in the garage area. The host occupies the upper unit of the duplex and is very accessible for questions and assistance as needed.

El Granada is a small beach community located just north of Half Moon Bay. Seaside Retreat is located within walking distance of Surfers Beach, the Coastal Trail, Quarry Park with hiking trails leading up into the hills with fabulous views of the harbor and ocean. Nearby are a variety of restaurants including Italian, seafood, Indian, tapas, Sam's Seafood Restaurant, Hop Dogma Pub and the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company. Fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, golfing, surfing, whale watching, biking, hiking, wine tasting, shopping and even scenic flights from the local airport are all just minutes away. After a day of fresh air and activity, you can find several local spas offering a variety of treatments to help you relax.

It is a short drive to historic Half Moon Bay with its friendly Main Street lined with shops, cafes and restaurants. Further down the coast you will find the Ritz Carlton Hotel for a luxury cocktail or dinner.

There is a local bus that has limited service with a stop just around the corner from Seaside Retreat, however, for greatest flexibility, Seaside Retreat is best reached by private car. In addition, there are Uber drivers and local tax services available. There is off-street parking available for one vehicle.

A Nice Coastal Respite
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Mary-Anne's place. It was very clean and quite large for a two bedroom VRBO. We cooked in a couple nights and the large kitchen had everything we needed including an amazing full-wood butcher-block island. My kids and I had fun playing ping-pong in the backyard our first morning. This property is close to many things Half-Moon Bay and quick access to the HWY without being so close that you can hear the traffic. We could not hear it at all, which was nice and peaceful. We'll definitely consider coming back for a future coastal vacation!

Great Time in El Granada
We had a great stay. The rooms were clean, the house was well maintained and the owners (Mary-Anne and Brian) were very responsive. If you are looking for a quiet, well kept house, with access to the Bay Area, this is the place. The price point was hundreds less than local area hotels and other rentals. I could not recommend this place more highly!
