We had a lovely weekend at this property. It was conveniently located with great amenities and comfortable rooms. However, one aspect that had a marginal impact on our stay was the presence of the owners (or possibly other tenants) staying in a separate area upstairs, which we were not expecting. This might be fully disclosed in the listing and we simply missed it. While the upstairs occupants were completely respectful and minded their own business, we could still hear them through their windows, which made us a bit self-conscious about using the outdoor amenities. As a result, we ended up spending more time indoors than we had planned. Despite this, the place itself is fantastic, and we would highly recommend it.

The property was very nice, but I had a few issues with the property and the owner. There were rats at night in the back yard next to the hot tub, and the driveway was very steep. I also learned that the owner is living on the second floor of the same building. I booked this property for 6 people, but we ended up having 3 extra guests. The owner then let me know I was required to pay an extra $300 for them to stay or my reservation would be canceled. Also they could not stay more than one night and had to leave by 11am the following day. We had an entire extra day that our guests are not aloud to stay, so we ended up all leaving a day early at 11am with no refund.

Cute beach style house, unfortunately it was raining our main day there so we couldn’t check out too much of the beach and woods area but it cleared up enough for us to checkout the tide pools which were spectacular. Master bed was a little uncomfortable but no bed is as comfy as home. Owners gave great instructions and the hot tub was warm so didn’t have to wait to heat it up. Perfect house for a family getaway or just friends to hang like us!

The house was clean. We loved the back patio/gas fire pit area. Very clean house and close to half moon bay.

Is this house a scam? I had rented property ID: 866516 in Moss Beach, CA, from June 9-June 13, 2022. On June 10th I received a message that the property owner has strict limitations for the number of people allowed on the property imposed by the county. I messaged a response seeking clarification and offered solutions including providing an updated list of names of occupants or to have some of our family stay with other family members. I asked for a phone conversation as well. On June 10th at 6:15 PM, while we were at the rehearsal dinner, the owner taped the cancellation on the door. We had to pack up and leave the property on Friday night in the dark. I can't tell you how upsetting this was for all of us. My 80 year old parents were able to make the trip to California to see their first granddaughter get married after two years of wedding delay due to covid 19 and now they were without lodging late on a Friday evening in an unfamiliar town. I do not understand who does this to a family and avoids a request for a personal conversation to clarify understanding and resolve any issues. After pleading with the owner through VRBO messaging, the final response from the owner was "I'm sorry but it has already been cancelled by VRBO. You will need to contact VRBO". I could not believe it and thought maybe we had been scammed. I listed five people on the reservation, as I was unsure at the time who would all be making the trip to CA. I apologized and asked for further clarification and how we could resolve any issues. According to the San Mateo County (CA) short term rental ordinance 4777, we were not in violation of county limitations. We could have up to eight guests in this house, but since I forgot to go back into the reservation months later and update our travelers, we were tossed out. I most certainly did not want to cause any problems. I have rented many times through VRBO. I am an excellent tenant and take pride in leaving the rental in the best possible condition. This astonishing incident cost us a lot of money. When I shared the problem with VRBO, the response was kind and efficient in replying, but indicated only the property manager could refund our money. VRBO requested that the property manager reply in 24 hours. It has been 10 days, plus I sent another message to the property through the app. Still no reply. I'm out over $1700 dollars and a lot of family tears. This was an awful experience.

The hot tub was and fireplace made our stay warm and relaxing!

We spent almost a week with family visiting from abroad. We had a great time. We enjoyed the kitchen space a lot as it was greatly equipped with all the tools to prepare a full Christmas menu. The sofa and the armchairs were so so confortable. The hot tub and the view were a real treat. The house was clean, however cleaning can be improved in spaces like kitchen cabinets, under the beds or in the corners harder to reach. Overall a great experience. Definitely recommended.

Our family of 5 was very comfortable at this property. Check in/out was easy. Property looks exactly as shown in the pictures. The neighborhood is very peaceful, great for a relaxing vacation. Best part are the amazing views of the ocean and a quick drive to the beach. Thank you!!
