About this house rental
Welcome to this two story home located right on Miramar Beach, steps away from the beach and with magnificent 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean, Pillar Point and the Princeton Harbor. The home is also steps away from the Miramar Beach Restaurant as well as being located on Mirada Road, which is part of the Coastside trail leading as far north as the harbor and all the way south into the charming town of Half Moon Bay. Detour onto HWY 1. Miramar Beach is a destination spot for travelers all over the bay area.
Ideal renters are a large family or up to 6 adults and 2 additional children. Minimum age is 25 years old to rent. No pets and no smoking.
The home is a beach front getaway with 2 levels and a reverse floor plan in which the living area, dining area and kitchen are located on the second floor with an upper level deck all with stunning views, and the bedrooms are on the ground or first floor. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the first floor. One is a master suite with its own entrance, bathroom, and walk-in closet. The two other bedrooms are located just down the hall with a separate floor-heated bathroom just across from them. There are brand new flat screen TVs with cable in the master bedroom, the bedroom at the far end of the hall (Yellow Room) and upstairs in the entertainment area. The middle bedroom (Bird Room) does not have a TV. All bedrooms have lots of storage including dressers and closets.
A staircase from the bottom bedroom level leads up to a large open floor living space which includes a newly remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a dining area and an entertainment area. Enjoy the spectacular views from anywhere upstairs. Additionally there are two smaller room/areas leading to the deck. One can be used as a nice cozy spot to sit and read, work on your computer (internet included) or just take in the view. The other room is an enclosed patio with a large wooden bar built in the 1950s and for kicking back with a drink in your bathing suit, weather permitting. Both of these room/areas have sliding glass doors to the deck that lead directly downstairs to the oceanfront road. The deck is a great place to catch some rays, whale watch or enjoy one of our stunning California coastal sunsets. There is plenty of parking and you also have one covered carport area for a vehicle as well.
The home is located on the north side of a world renowned jazz club established in 1964, an Event Center. We do not rent the home when other events are occurring so rest assured that you will have privacy and quiet. There is also a cottage on the property where the caretaker resides. If you see a Sunday that is marked unavailable and you are interested in attending a music concert and including a Sunday night with your vacation, contact us to discuss options.
We will consider Events such as small weddings but there is an additional fee for this and must be arranged by contacting the property manager. An event can be held in the home or in connection with the Event Center which is also at the Douglas Beach House. See www.thedouglasbeachhouse.com
Grocery stores & markets: In Half Moon Bay there is New Leaf & Safeway. In El Granada there is Spangler's Market.
There is plenty to do in the coastal area. The Princeton Harbor is just a 5 minute drive north where you can walk the pier, shop, dine (Ketch Joanne, Barbara’s Fishtrap, and Mezza Luna (Zagat Rated), Half Moon Bay Brewery, Old Princeton Landing Public House & Grill, Breakwater Barbecue, Sam's Chowder House) kayak, surf, take charter fishing and whale watching trips and partake in local nightlife. There is walking/biking along the Coastside Trail that runs right in front of our home. The Fitzgerald Marine Reserve is a 10 minute drive north in Moss Beach. There is plenty of hiking including at Pillar Point where the famous Mavericks surf competition is held and Montara Mountain which has sweeping 360 degree views of the bay area and is about a 15 mile drive north....in addition to hiking the beach!
The charming town of Half Moon Bay is just a 10 minute coastal drive south with unique shopping and dining (Pasta Moon, The Barn, Cantina at San Benito House, Dad's Luncheonette). There is golf at one of the two world famous Ocean Colony Golf Courses and a driving range at Ocean View Driving Range. As mentioned above, the home is attached to a jazz venue called the Bach Dancing & Dynamite which hosts world class jazz on Sundays.
This home is just 30 minutes from San Francisco and the SF Airport. Therefore within minutes you can be in the world class restaurants, museums, shopping, Broadway shows, and music venues. The San Francisco Zoo is only 35 minutes away.
One can also head South and be at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk in an hour or inland to Silicon Valley to visit the Tech Museum or 1.5 hours to Monterey and the famous Monterey Aquarium.
We truly look forward to hosting you at our beautiful home and ideal location, right on the Beach!

The house was fantastic, had a great time sitting on the deck listen to the waves and close to various restaurants including our favorite Miramar.

This is the third stay here, twice in the 2-bedroom site (in the same building), and once in the 3-bedroom site. The easy-access beach is right across a single-lane road that is essentially unused by visitors. The VRBO description is exactly correct in every detail. We started our stay here because our (then 3-year-old) granddaughter had never been to the ocean, and it was a 2-hour drive for us from our home. I highly recommend a stay here. You will love it.

We love this house. The view is awesome from everywhere on the upper floor which is where we spent most of our time. We ate at the Miramar Beach Restaurant twice. So good and so convenient. We would stay here again.

Amazing views and great space, steps from the ocean. Plenty of room to spread out and relax. Parking and getting in are a little confusing (there are multiple units) but everything else was great!
Note that this is a still-active event space, so check out can be early (10 AM) if they have something scheduled.

There were six of us during our stay and we all had the best time. I loved how open the upstairs rooms were, yet noise from separate areas didn't travel. Plenty of seating around the home. Absolutely loved sunsets on the deck. The walking paths were nearby and we found a beach to dly our kite. Bathrooms and kitchen are updated and had everything we needed. Beds are very firm. Rooms were spacious. Primary bedroom was even more roomy. Loved the separate heaters. I had my parents who require more heat than the rest of us, so it was comfortable for all. A beautiful bottle of wine greeted us too. What gracious hosts. Thank you!

The property is amazing, spending time on the deck is unbeatable. We saw whales and dolphins throughout the day. Our stay was during record heat in Half Moon Bay and it was gorgeous. The kitchen is fully equipped, and bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and comfortable. Would love to stay again.

The house is a little quirky but fun to stay in. It is directly across the street from the beach; fun to hang out on the deck. The bridge nearby is under construction so there was no traffic - not sure what it is like when the bridge is back on line. Internet is good; kitchen well-equipped; clean.

Wonderfully quirky. Cosy as the weather wasnt the greatest whilst we were there. Beautiful views.

This property was perfect for 3 generations of great family time - both at the beachhouse and for surrounding area activities. The house was roomy, well stocked and very comfortable. The deck offered more space for family time activities with a lot of seating for our group of 8. I also appreciated the layout of the kitchen - able to visit with other family in the living room as well as see the ocean while preparing meals. Our host was very responsive too to my inquiries. Would definitely like to stay again.

Our 3rd stay here! As always we enjoyed watching the waves all day and the easy access to all the local amenities. The rental is well stocked with everything you need to cook if that's what you chose or it's easy to walk to a meal or pickup meals to go. The deck is a wonderful spot to relax.

Very comfortable, very clean, perfectly located for lots of Long Beach walks. Everyone loves the Douglas house and waved and smiled as if we deserved credit for all the fond memories people have there. The kitchen, bar, and deck are ideal for entertaining. Claire made it all easy.

This was our second time this year staying at the DBH on Miramar Beach. Without a doubt our favorite VRBO. This house is special and the surrounding area is perfect for taking walks on the beach or just sitting on the deck watching the ocean. Claire, the property host, is great and always available if you need her. The kitchen is well equiped and if you choose this house for your vacation you will not be disappointed. We are looking forward to our next stay.

Really enjoyed our stay. The property is located right along the ocean, walking distance to restaurants and cafes, and has a great view.
The 3 bedrooms and 2 baths downstairs are nicely sized and well appointed. The upstairs has an open format, a huge amount of space, and great views of the ocean. You also have access to large external deck with ocean views.
Next time we come back to Half Moon Bay we will be sure to stay here again.

We had a great time. Only suggestion is the deck needs shade during the day and a heater at night. But the location can't be beat.

A very nice property, new appliances throughout. Very clean, which is most important to us. Owners tried to seek renters’ corporation to maintain the cleanliness during the stay. Outside hose was provided to rinse the sand off before we go insider after activities at the beach. I enjoyed the owner’s rental protocol very much. Everything was explained well on the check in information.
Also very important, is the view. The location is unbeatable and the view from the deck is breathtaking. It is conveniently located near all ocean and land activities, restaurants and grocery stores. No matter which route you are taking for your vacation, there is always a way to satisfy you.

We had an exceptional time. Perfect place for gathering family together. We cooked most of our meals in because we simply just didn’t want to leave. Lots of wonderful wildlife, seals, pelicans, etc. Places to rent canoes just down the street. Lots of fun.

This property is so unique! We truly enjoyed browsing through the jazz cd collection and even the teenager found some they liked. Nonstop views of the ocean, listening to the waves, and being able to walk to the beach from the house made it a perfect location. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Lots of places to spread out to enjoy the space.

Four friends from around the country stayed at this home for a girlfriend's weekend. The location was incredible - with ocean views from every room upstairs. We did yoga in the sunroom, lounged by the cozy fire and played games, cooked together in the spacious kitchen, and spent a lot of time watching sunsets in comfy chairs on the big deck. The beds were super comfortable and this home is close to beaches and hiking trails and less than an hour from SFO. I'd definitely go back!
