Amazing Welcoming Unique Ocean Home

SalvatoreRating, 5 stars1 month ago
My Son an I did a 5 day stay. The place was very centrally located on the pacific coast. The place was very cozy, clean and comfortable with outstanding ocean views from everywhere in the cabin. Good parking for two vehicles. Weather was so so, but did not hindered us a bit. We hiked at Muir Woods, the overlook and the beach all within 5 minutes away. We were able to go to San Francisco multiple times 35 minutes to do half day lunches or dinners and Sausalito 20 minutes. Yeshi was very responsive when we communicated, but really needed little assistance. The home is older and very charming. It reminded me of my own house growing up. Would definitely stay here again.

5 minutes walk to the Beach & Ocean!

HannesRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Truly a guest favorite! We came with two young kids (1 and 4) and we loved every aspect of this place. Tom was also extremely helpful with everything. We were even allowed to check in early at very short notice as I had confused the time change and the kids were tired after a long flight from the East coast. The way to think about this place: LOTS of space in the house, as well as in the garden, everything is super secure (Tom installs baby gates if needed), so as a parent you can relax much more than in any usual airbnb. The location is world class: You can walk down to an amazing natural beach, it's right at the end of the block, and a few feet down that beach there is even an amazing surf spot (rent your board at HMB rental); within 10min you're also in the middle of the redwoods where you find more pure nature, with amazing trees, little creeks etc. Wish we could have stayed longer. The whole family loved it.

Oceanfront Views - Steps to the Beach

AndreaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We never wanted to leave! beautiful place, extremely gorgeous surroundings, lots to do nearby, great recommendations from Stefan and all the guests felt like they had the best room. I loved how pelicans would fly by right at eye level, we could pop down the beach in less than a minute, I could look out and see the endless ocean from almost any room, the kitchen was big and bright, and I even saw some whales migrating north!!

Half Moon Bay Coastal Home Walk Beach & Harbor SPA

KatrinaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We planned a family getaway with our adult kids and their spouses as a belated Christmas gift. Everyone picked Half Moon Bay as the destination. We have stayed in a lot of Airbnbs through the years, so many have been amazing but this one in particular offered such incredible touches to make us feel at home. Nancy really offers what an Airbnb experience should be. The house was perfectly clean, stocked with everything any of us could need along with special treats to enjoy. But what really struck me was not having to work through an endless list of rules and the fact that checking out was as simple as leaving a beautiful hotel stay. No endless cleaning or ridiculous particulars after spending $$$ for a stay. We felt pampered. Nancy is a 5 star host. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful space that was well appointed. The home was super clean. Al was an attentive host, answering any questions we had. This location is special. Beautiful ocean front sites and sounds and at the same time being close to the city and the airport. We had a great time relaxing in the backyard, hiking up Mori point, and visiting the pier. Welcoming destination, would recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Muir Beach's Haiku House with Dramatic Ocean Views

MandyRating, 5 stars4 days ago
This place felt like a bit of a splurge for us, but it was well worth it! Breathtaking natural surroundings aside, it was such a well-equipped home, with nearly everything one could wish for at your fingertips! From fire starting supplies to kitchen implements, Bluetooth speaker to flashlights by the bedside, Kathleen’s thoughtful, stylish amenities made us feel comfortable, cozy, and cared for! As someone else noted in their review, I’ve never returned to the same Airbnb twice, but we’re already longing for another stay at the Haiku House!

Ocean Front Beach Cottage with Hot Tub & Fireplace

MaryRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Sigward was a wonderful host! He explained everything about his home and was very clear it is a more rustic place. The view was incredible and the sounds of the ocean soothing. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning and a cozy fire in the evening. This beach home is a true getaway from the hectic world we and enjoyed every moment. I left my coat there and Sigward worked with me to find a solution to return it to me. Thank you again Sigward!

There are beautiful views of the ocean from this spacious home. It was an easy drive to San Francisco and we enjoyed the local restaurants as well. The kitchen was large and well-maintained and it was easy to adjust the house temperature to be comfortable for both the main floor and upstairs.

Bolinas Beach Home

SaraRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Matthew’s place is nestled in a dead end street within walking distance to the beach and downtown Bolinas. Quiet with unbelievable views from multiple locations within the house. The house is ideal for relaxing and jumping off point for hikes throughout Muir Woods, Marin Headlands, and out from Stinson Beach. Would highly recommend.

Your guide to Pacifica

All About Pacifica

Just 20 minutes from San Francisco, the small beach town of Pacifica feels worlds away from the big-name destinations along the west coast. The city offers the perfect combination of nature and adventure, with miles of shoreline lapped by ocean waves. Pacifica’s beaches are distinct and varied, with soft golden sand, rare black sand, and pebble beaches just a couple of miles apart. There’s a strong surf culture here, with kayakers and paddleboarders keen to take to the water.

Along the seafront, you can enjoy a handful of bars, restaurants, and art galleries. The coastal bluffs and inland forests offer miles of hiking and biking routes with clifftop views and colorful wildflowers. Fishing and crabbing are also popular, especially during dungeness crab season, when the Pacifica Pier fills with locals hoping to pull in the prized crustacean.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Pacifica

The average temperatures in Pacifica vary slightly and are pleasant with low chances of rain most of the year — excluding some cold weeks in the winter. Anglers will want to consider booking their vacation rentals in Pacifica for July, when the bays around the coast are full of salmon. If you’d like to take advantage of the free crabbing available from the Pacifica Pier, it’s best to visit in the winter months when Dungeness crab is abundant. There are several surf events throughout the year. In September, you can celebrate Mexican California at Rancho Day Fiesta, with rancho food, Californian music and dancing, and crafts.


Top things to do in Pacifica

Sam’s Castle

Modeled after a Scottish castle, Sam’s Castle was built in 1908 as a safe haven overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It served many purposes over the following years, including a speakeasy and WWII barracks. In recent decades, its eccentric owner filled it with art, antiques, and other curiosities from his time as a theater decorator. The castle is now open periodically to the public.

Surfing at Linda Mar Beach

The southernmost of Pacifica’s beaches, Linda Mar is a mile-long stretch known as one of the best areas for surfing in the Bay Area. It has forgiving breaks suitable for newbies to challenging swells for advanced surfers. Seafront stores have all the equipment you could need to get out onto the waves safely.

Montara Mountain Trail

For unparalleled, 360-degree views of the Bay Area, you can hike to the summit of Montara Mountain from San Pedro Valley Park. Nestled in the Santa Cruz mountain range, the peak is 1,900 feet above sea level. The trail takes around four hours, and the vistas from the top are well worth it.
