Bright and airy beach vacation spot- perfect for families and ocean views

A refined coastal retreat designed for unforgettable gatherings, this exceptional residence offers generous space for extended family in the highly sought-after enclave of Moss Beach. Perched gracefully above the shoreline, the home overlooks the natural beauty of Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, while remaining just a leisurely fifteen-minute stroll from pristine state beaches and the iconic Montara Lighthouse—delivering a lifestyle that is both serene and effortlessly sophisticated.
Inside, sweeping ocean vistas take center stage, with breathtaking sunsets and glimpses of marine life visible from the kitchen, living room, and an expansive outdoor deck. Every detail is curated to evoke understated luxury and comfort.
The outdoor living experience is equally compelling, thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and elegant entertaining. Two beautifully appointed gazebos create distinct moments: one centered around a warm, inviting firepit with ample seating, and the other offering a private hot tub for tranquil evenings beneath the coastal sky. Enhancing the sense of retreat, a two-person sauna provides a spa-like sanctuary—perfect for unwinding after a day spent along the sea.
An elevated expression of coastal living, where natural beauty and timeless comfort meet.

Very nice property with plenty of space for a larger group. Having the en suite bathrooms was a real perk for our group and made for family harmony so that my adult children didn’t need to share. We especially enjoyed the proximity to cypress trees and the tidal pools. We saw sea urchins, anemones, a starfish, crab, and harbor seals. So much fun!

We had a great stay at this beautiful home. The ping pong table was a big hit with my teenagers, and there was plenty of space in the rest of the home for all of us to spread out. 5 minute walk to a convenience store for any items that you may have forgotten at home. 15 min walk to a beautiful beach trail. Would definitely stay again.

The location and view were fabulous! Beds were comfy, and the kitchen was well equipped. The fenced backyard for pets was good to have. The game room was a nice addition. We had several cars and were able to accommodate them at the top of the (steep) driveway and with street parking. Things to be aware of: sound traveled easily in the (full) house; WiFi was a little spotty and didn't reach the entire house; towels seemed weirdly nonabsorbent. If there were a 4.5 rating, we would do that...

Perfect House in Moss Beach

Perfect place for our family of 10. The house was nice and clean. The ping pong table, arcade games and the wall connect 4 got a lot of use from the kids and adults. The hot tub was also great to sit in and relax. We really liked that all the rooms had bathrooms with showers. The kitchen was fully equipped which was also a plus. This place was great and I would definitely recommend staying here.

Great getaway

Spacious house with gorgeous views of the ocean from kitchen, living room and cozy sunroom. Loved the big kitchen that was well-stocked. The house felt luxurious and a short hop to Moss Beach bluffs and beaches. Good for hanging out, played hours of ping pong at night. Relaxing oceanside getaway 45 mins from East Bay for a perfect refresh.

My family stayed here for a long weekend. It was a lovely property with lots of space for everyone. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals. We loved that each room had its own bathroom and there was a fun game room downstairs. We watched the sunset over the ocean from the sunroom and it was beautiful.

This home is a place to make memories with your family and friends. It is spacious, comfortable, and the kitchen is well stocked. The game area was a family favorite for us. Loved the convenience to the freeway, walking trails, and ocean. I enjoyed reading in the living room and watching the fog roll in over the ocean. Just magical! Perfect weekend get away!!!

Beautiful and spacious home

A large group of family came for my daughters wedding in Half Moon Bay. This home is very large and spacious and was perfect for our group. The only slightly negative thing would be that the main couch in the living room should probably be cleaned as it was a little dirty and stained up. Besides that, it was perfect and I would definitely recommend this property.
