Beachfront vacation rentals in Half Moon Bay

Julieta's place is wonderful, offering an experience that goes beyond expectations. The views are absolutely breathtaking and the house itself is exceptionally spacious, meticulously clean, and thoughtfully equipped with a wealth of amenities to ensure your comfort and enjoyment.

We had a fantastic stay at this property. The house was exceptionally clean and well-kept, offering a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. We especially enjoyed the relaxing walk to the beach, which was both peaceful and scenic. The complimentary cart service was a huge plus—it made it easy to take our elderly parents to the beach without any hassle. Check-in at the front desk was quick and seamless, and the staff provided friendly and attentive service throughout our stay. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing beach getaway!

Absolutely Loved Our Stay at Rustic High Tide Cottage! This place is a dream for nature lovers! The location is perfect for hiking and kayaking—so much to explore right from the doorstep. Falling asleep to the sound of waves crashing beneath you is pure magic. We woke up to beautiful natural light streaming in every morning, and even got the occasional friendly moo from nearby cows—such a charming touch! The host was thoughtful and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. We didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to come back!

We had a wonderful stay at Theresa’s place. Great location and very well maintained. We’d love to stay there again.

Second time intentionally staying at one of Evan’s properties and loved. Thank you Evan, will be back again next time we visit Santa Cruz at one of your properties.

This place was amazing, we could hear the ocean when going to bed at night. My wife loved it, would definitely come back!

Nice hot tub and gas fireplace which we enjoyed every night! Our son is a surfer so we walked a couple blocks to the bluff to watch him. Great restaurants in the area and sites (surfing museum) to see. Abbot Square was a good venue to eat and enjoy music.

I could live here! The place was sunny, comfortable, adorably decorated, felt spacious, extremely soft sheets, pillows, mattress, and perfect size for the 2 of us. I wish I could have stayed longer! Oh, that reminds me - I asked for a late checkout so I could and they let me stay until 5pm. It was greatly appreciated and wonderful!

We had a lovely time at Yan Fang’s place, the location was perfect - we walked to the beach almost every day! It was also convenient to have the Muni metro stop right at the end of the street, we rode the Muni all over town (inexpensive and easy!). The house was clean and comfortable and Yan Fang included extra snacks and kitchen items for us, which was nice. We loved our time here and would recommend.

Very nice, comfortable place. Nice little market less than a block away, and plenty of things to see and do in the area. We'd definitely stay here again.

We were looking for a special place for our 40th wedding anniversary and this cottage far exceeded our expectations! it was simply beautiful! and our hosts were incredibly helpful. we hope to return again

This was a fantastic Airbnb find - my wife, my golden retriever and I were extremely happy to have stayed at April's place. The photos are true to the space, with lots of European influence and big enough for all of us. Even the tissue paper holder in the room was unique! The little touches around the space show someone who has thought out the entire layout of the space. The bathroom was incredible and spa like, the bed the right firmness, and we had a very restful stay here before our departing flight back to Europe. My golden retriever enjoyed laying at the steps of April's place, soaking up the sunshine. April was also very responsive when we needed anything. She is kind, as is her family. We enjoyed speaking with her as well. We wished we could have stayed longer - it was very comfortable, clean, relaxing and just overall inviting. If we were to return, we would definitely seek out April's place. I would recommend anyone to stay here!

We have stayed here before and the property is beautiful. We certainly cannot beat the location! The host goes above and beyond the kitchen is stocked, not only with spices and tea, all if New York congressman, Charles the paper products you could possibly need aluminum foil, etc. Condiments are abundant. We can’t wait to go back!

Truly a beautiful place to stay right on the ocean. Claudia was a great host. Was a perfect weekend. Thank you!

Laura’s place was spot on for our short stay. Beach was a stones throw away, which is where the kids wanted to spend their time. The place was perfect, it was clean, spacious, and well equipped. Detailed instructions for the apartment to go alongside the stay and useful local information.

The view was unmatched. Planes and helicopters landing, peaceful and friendly neighbors, plants galore on the dock. Everything was immaculate. One can truly be at peace staring over the water and taking in the breathtaking surroundings.

The house reminded us of a lighthouse, its vantage point to the sea where vistas of surf breaking close to 180 degrees from our vantage point. We walked to Mavericks, local restaurants, cafes, and local grocer, just one block away. We bbq’d a few nights and made meals in the spacious kitchen, as I mentioned before all windows face the ocean. It felt as though time had slowed, and we became part of the mana. A very memorable stay for myself and three adult sons.

Anne’s cottage on the beach was absolutely wonderful! It’s such a special place—my family and I had a peaceful, relaxing stay. The views of the ocean are beautiful, and the beach is just steps away. We also loved having a few local restaurants within walking distance. Anne was the sweetest host—so kind, responsive, and attentive. She made sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay. The house was spotless, and the bed was very comfortable. We truly hope to stay here again someday.

Absolutely love this home! We feel like such ballers when we’re here 😊. The views are out of this world, the furnishings are all very comfortable, the kitchen is beautiful and the appliances are easy to use. The ping pong table is a blast to have around and my family ended up having a ping pong tournament. The beach itself is steps away from the unit. And it is incredibly private and secluded. Whether you’re looking for a quiet place to rest, a fun family beach vacation, or a romantic getaway, this wonderful home checks off all the boxes. Rent it if you can!!

Ruth’s home in Moss Beach was a perfect second stop on our California road trip. Her home was immaculate and she herself was so welcoming- fresh flowers and fresh sour dough bread. We loved walking the trail out to the beach and there were even baby seal pups to watch, Ruth graciously left us some binoculars and a map to help find them. We enjoyed the quiet and convenient location to several spots in the area- Muir Woods, Carmel, 17 Mile Drive etc. Our only complaint is we wish we had more time. Thank you for a wonderful and restful home to stay in.

excellent location walking distance to the beach. cozy little spot

My mom and I had such a great time here! We enjoyed our time away for mother’s day weekend. It was very peaceful and the hosts have great taste and are very thoughtful in what they provide at this location. My only issue was that the neighbor left their dog outside all night and my mom had to sleep with me because the dog was crying all night. We tried to use the fire pit at night and unfortunately weren’t able to because the dog kept trying to hop the fence and we barking. Other than that it’s a great location and the stay was super peaceful and we loved all the decor!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our time on the deck above the creek. Surrounded by beauty and the sounds of the creek created a sweet spot! The lighting was an excellent touch. The accommodations had everything that you need and the bed was extremely comfortable! We would stay again!!!
