Wonderful place to stay! We absolutely loved it. Gorgeous bluff trail at the end of the block. Peaceful, quiet, friendly, and safe neighborhood by the ocean. Beautifully designed interior space. Well stocked kitchen (measuring cups, pans, pots, spice drawer). Wonderful areas to hang out together for our group in the living, dining and backyard areas. You will need a car to get to a grocery store, but the Moss Beach Distillery is a 10 minute short hike (if that). Overall a fantastic place to stay.

My family and I are delighted and enjoyed our stay. This place exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely be returning. My family and I spent most of our day exploring San Francisco, but returning to this home was our favorite part of the day. 10/10 recommended to anyone.

Beautiful home - well maintained. And the rental people were very attentive. There are views - if you take the hiking paths around the neighborhood. A great stay. Loved it. Thank you
