Half Moon Bay/El Granada '94018-8142'
The Neighborhood:
Princeton-by-the-Sea is a quiet neighborhood filled with ocean lovers and local shops. Walking distance, you'll find great places for breakfast or lunch like Ketch Joanne or Barbara's Fishtrap, which both have plenty of fresh seafood. For dinner, Mezza Luna is a nice Italian restaurant that is another local favorite.
The biggest attraction of the neighborhood, though, is surely the beach and harbor. You'll see sea lions napping on the docks and paddle-boarders on the weekends.
This property is about 8 miles away from Ritz-Carlton in Half Moon Bay
Getting Around:
By car, downtown Half Moon Bay is 5-10 minutes, SFO is 25 minutes, and downtown San Francisco is 40 minutes.

Everything you can ask for. We had our 86 mother and our 11 month grandson. Space was perfect. Near by food and beach
If we get a chance we will be back.

The house was clean and nicely appointed. The furniture was low to the ground and not very comfortable for more elderly guests who would need more comfort sitting in the living room and kitchen area and master bedroom.

We had a wonderful time. You should mention that is just a little walk to the harbor.

First of all, we stayed 2 weeks! There was plenty to do! We hiked (Mavericks, Quarry Park, McNee Ranch), the kids surfed (Tommy Tsunami lessons), and we ate so much seafood! The location of the house is perfect. Easy walk to coffee and of course gelato for the kids. It's wonderful to be there esp. during the weekdays. Musts are cafe mocha at The Press and gelato at Caffe Mexxa Luna. Do not miss La Costanera! We almost did. Princeton by the Sea is a special place and a must-do before word gets out!
The house was perfect for us; three bedrooms, and a good size kitchen. For a couple of nights in between, we shopped for dinner at Spangler's market. All fresh produce, meats, and dairy goods. It felt like a home for two weeks. We will miss our HMB adventure and look forward to the next one!

Loved our stay!
Very nice house, clean, comfortable beds, and well-stocked kitchen. And also dog-friendly! Great location, walking distance to Pillar Point Harbor. Only a block to The Press for a yummy, reasonably-priced breakfast. Our young adult children enjoyed the game room and trampoline. Definitely recommend for a family vacation.

Perfect for a quick getaway
The home was spacious, clean, and had everything we needed. My teens loved the ping pong and foosball in the garage. Plenty of space for us to spread out. The neighborhood was quiet. We saw many people walking their dogs each day. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants. Rented bikes and had a lovely ride down the coast with beautiful scenery. Perfect spot for a short getaway. Might get bored as a family doing a whole week unless you plan to drive to other areas. This was the last two days of our week stay in San Francisco, so we welcomed the chill vibe. Our first day we got to watch the wind surfers which was really neat!

Quiet getaway
Wonderful for a quick weekend getaway for our family to get out of the city. Super convenient and walkable distance to food, shops and the beach.
The kids loved the trampoline!
Easy check in, and the host was extremely communicative.

great location and amenities for a family
The location is excellent, with great access to shops and restaurants, as well as very nearby an excellent coffee/breakfast place (the Press). It's also very close to the beach, and surfing, so in the summer this could be an awesome location. The house was clean and had sufficient space to sleep several couples. Everything worked and appeared in good condition. The downside for our Christmas week here was that the living area is very sparsely furnished and not a great place to hang out with people; there are no rugs or pictures on the walls, and the fireplace is not available for use, so it feels empty and a bit depressing. Only a small dining table with hard chairs is available.
The garage is a nice space to hang out in especially with kids or a family group, with a good pingpong table and fussball and couches - but it is entirely unheated and while we were here it was cold and rainy, making this space quite uncomfortable. Half moon bay is known for cool foggy weather, so be aware.
Basically the place is very serviceable and could work well for a family, but is not the most fun place to spend much time in. Our communications with the host were excellent and clear and they checked in with us to be sure all was going well; we appreciated that. For the price, I expected something a little nicer, but it worked out well enough.

Amazing property and location
Recently stayed here for a weekend to celebrate a friend's 40th birthday with a few close friends. The location is amazing - walking distance to a number of great food places with outdoor seating (we had dinner at Old Princeton Landing - about a 12 minute walk - and brunch at a great cafe called the Press that's 2 blocks away), and a short drive (2 minutes) through back roads to get to a great beach/surf spot at Princeton Jetty. We were able to rent boards/wetsuits at Mavericks Surf Shop and get some surfing in as well!
Great communication with the property management, and the place was clean, spacious, and great to hang out in. We played ping pong, cooked in the kitchen, and played cards on the dining table. I do agree with another reviewer that the chairs were a little uncomfortable, but that's a pretty small issue, and obviously not enough to prevent us from playing cards for a few hours. The front and backyard does have astroturf, but it wasn't an issue for us. We did find parking on the street after filling the driveway, and we did have one neighbor make a snide remark to us despite us parking in front of the house and trying to be as respectful as possible, but it wasn't anything serious.
I do want to point out that the beds were awesome, very comfortable, and the blinds, at least in the room I was in, were great at keeping the light out and letting me sleep in. There were some annoying barking dogs throughout the night, so I would recommend a white noise app which helped drown it out. Regardless, if you want a good night's rest, this fits the bill.
Overall, it was a great experience, and would recommend since the location and house were excellent, and the hosts very responsive!

Great family weekend
Everyone in the family, ages 3 to 80, enjoyed our stay. The trampoline and foosball were a hit with the children. The house was very clean and well located for beach and Half Moon Bay activities. Beds were comfortable.

Family reunion
This was a near perfect family reunion. The house was the perfect size for us and the trampoline/fooseball were what sealed the deal on this house. The kitchen was nicely appointed with high end appliances and well equipped. The mattresses were VERY comfortable and the sheets of good quality. Although the house was thoroughly cleaned I cant give that category 5 stars as one of the bedrooms had a carpet that desperately needs cleaning as it smelled like vomit. This could have been an ideal getaway and time to bond with my grandchildren however I was distracted by numerous upsetting emails from the owner of the property regarding the pet fee I had prepaid with reservation deposit. I'd love to speak to someone from VRBO about this as it left a very bad taste in my mouth for booking through them again.

We had a great time staying at this home in HMB! Very clean and also had fun activities for kids (trampoline, ping pong, and more!)

The location of this house is perfect to walking to restaurants, ice cream shop, looking at fishing boats. Pro:great beds, clean house, had everything we need except coffee filters and extra toilet paper which was fine because there’s a mini mart down the road. Nina ground coffee machine worked great, had shampoo conditioner and body wash, you can park 2 SUVs in driveway which was great because we had 3. Great toys for kids- fooseball table, ping pong table, extra little toys for kids, trampoline with a net.Con: no bbq, Apple TV was hard to figure out-only because we don’t use Apple TV at home,Table to eat-small but doable with 6 adults,(we brought a kids table for our 3 kids to eat at)Couches are different but we made it work. We brought extra camping chairs and set them up in the living roomOther than all that it was a great 3 days and great location and easy self check in

CoZy place close to harbor
Very cozy place that’s waking distance to the harbor. I walked to Barbara’s Fish Trap in 10 minutes. We drove to Mavericks beach and looked at tide pools.
Pros: garage is a great chill area with a table tennis table and fusbol and couches
Trampoline
Rockin fast internet (600 down/18 up) with great wifi coverage due to the google wifi pods. My kids did remote learning and I was in multiple meetings all week
Hot water was pretty good
Neutral: sink in kitchen had a motion sensor on it which sometimes you would need to make extra effort to start the water.
I saw somewhere that they say 3 cars can fit in driveway, I was more comfortable with two
No cable tv, it’s a smart tv but I used my own roku.
Cons: hard to get house temperature right. I think it’s a little drafty so running the heater gets uneven and can lead to dry air. The master was on the cool side.
Pots/pans were metal and hard to clean, could have also used a few bigger serving plates
Not enough sitting areas in living room. We had seven people and couldn’t always relax in the living room (and that’s with three kids). One couch is deep. The chairs around the dining table aren’t very comfortable and the table is small.
Overall a very cozy and clean place that was a nice place for remote work in the morning and afternoon exploring.

House needs some updates
Here are the points summarized back to the owner or rental company during our stay. They responded but did nothing to correct any problems during our stay itself.
- The kitchen is not fully stocked as promised in your VRBO posting. There was no salt, no pepper, no oil and other staple goods usually expected in this type of rental.
- The utensils in the kitchen are worn out, many of the the cups and bowls are chipped and the pots, pans and cooking trays are both worn and were filthy. They had to be scrubbed and thoroughly cleaned before use.
- The house would benefit from a doormat or two and a place to put shoes at the front door to help keep things clean.
- The washer does not work with the detergent provided as it does not dissolve in the detergent tray, the dryer filter was completely blocked and so the dryer was not operational, the dryer vent was detached and so the garage was filling with damp air (we cleaned the filter and fixed the detached vent temporarily - I recommend you get this properly serviced).
- The outside light does not work in the rear of the house and the trampoline is not anchored securely to the ground constituting a safety hazard in our view.
- The gopher / mole deterrents placed in the front and back yards are annoying as they make a buzzing noise for most of the night which has kept our light sleepers awake.
- Lastly, the rear neighbor has a dog that seems aggressive towards kids while they play in the back yard.
The location was great, our kids enjoyed playing with foosball and ping pong. If some updates were made, this would be a nice play to stay with a family.

Close to the beaches!
Very close to beaches and restaurants! Nice places to walk and hike! Great getaway. Beds were comfy, parking for 3 vehicles in driveway. Fireplace was not in use (which I like to have in the winter) but we turned on the tv “fireplace” to be cozy. 😅 Had everything we needed!

Great getaway
We had a great time there. We spent a lot of time outside, a much needed change for the little ones. The house was nice and clean. It is so close to all of our favorite places: The Press, the harbor, Barbara's Fishtrap.

Near the water
If you're looking for a cozy place near the water, this house is for you. If you have children aged 8+ this place is really for you. Ping pong, foosball, and trampoline will keep them active!

Clean house but a few issues
The house was clean and modern and stocked with necessities. Decent rooms. But i wouldn’t quite say cozy. Great location. But we did have a few issues. Our hot water heater went out and instead of sending someone out (because it was a weekend and I’m sure they’d have to pay more for a maintenance guy) we ended up spending the day you tubing how to fix it ourselves. Really frustrating. Also, there are cameras everywhereeeeee. It just made us feel like we were in a fishbowl with no privacy. Even all over the backyard.

Great Family-Friendly Rental
We had a wonderful weekend at this clean, modern, and spacious home. The comfy beds, plush pillows, and lovely decor made it feel like we were staying at a hotel. There were plenty of bath towels, and we appreciated the shampoo and body wash in the bathrooms. The removable shower heads made it easy to wash the kids. The kitchen appliances are new and were easy to use. There were plenty of utensils, cups, and plates. The refrigerator had a full pitcher of water and a separate Brita water pitcher. The house had lots of space both indoors and outside for the kids to run around. There was nothing they could get into or topple over. My kid was a huge fan of the trampoline.
Location was great. We drove but could have easily walked to the shoreline where the kids played in the sand. There were plenty of good eats nearby including The Press and Half Moon Bay Brewing Company. Safeway was just a short drive away.
The rental process was easy. I received a confirmation email at my time of reservation. As noted in that message, I received the address and check-in instructions via email a few days before my stay. I received a separate email outlining check-out instructions at the end of my stay. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this rental to others.

Beautiful and modern home!
The drive to the property was just breath taking with the beaches and cliffs! We were amazed with the size and decor, exactly what you see in the photos and more. The kids loved the garage and table games.
Our favorite places to dine were The press and Sams Seafood which are both only minutes away.
