We had a wonderful stay! The home was beautiful and had everything we needed. The beds were very comfortable and waking up to the ocean right outside was the best. The location couldn’t have been more perfect 🫶🏼 literally right in front of the water with stunning views.

The Wave House was the perfect location for our annual girls trip! Directly across the street from the most beautiful beach, and a short distance to hiking trails and town. Beds were comfy, house was spacious and very clean!

Really beautiful beaches and great proximity to everything up and down the coast near half moon bay. It’s a 1 minute walk to montara state beach and the home is both cozy and spacious at the same time. Would definitely return if we were in the area.
