We spent a week at this very nice home and wished we could have stayed a month! The ocean is everywhere you look. The views from the living room look like paintings but it's all real. And it feels so remote, you could never imagine there's big city 20 miles away. We felt very welcomed by Alicia, communication was easy and her suggestions for restaurants and hiking were spot on. The house was deluxe and the huge patio overlooking the sea, with gas fire pit and high end bbq, was a big plus. The kitchen with a nice island and all of the accouterments was well done. And the bedrooms and bedding were just right for us. We would definitely return, it's better than the pictures let on.

We loved wind-protected backyard and the views of the rocky shoreline. The upstairs bedroom has an amazing view of the rocky coastline to the south. Alicia was super responsive and helpful.

We had a wonderful girls weekend celebrating a 60th birthday and could not have been more pleased. The kitchen is equipped with everything we needed to create a gourmet meal in-house and ending the evening on the patio with the fire pit was just lovely. The beds are super comfortable with luxurious linens. Alicia was a wonderful hostess. I wish we had been able to spend more time at this beautiful home. We are all hoping to return soon.

Our family enjoyed another lovely stay in Montara - could not have been more beautiful, welcoming, clean and serene! Mom is already asking “When can we go back?”. Thank you

The outdoor patio is wonderful, we sat around the fire pit in the evenings enjoying the sunsets! We were in town with restaurants we can walk to! However you can't hear anything else, just wave! Beds are great, wonderful white fresh kitchen and living room! Everything was more then we hoped for! Alicia is a fantastic host! We had 5 seals on the rocks below the house one sunny day! The hummingbirds are all around the patio! It was a wonderful week!

I’ve been working hard and my husband was having a big birthday so we headed to the beach. Soothing sounds, even when it was storming. So relaxing. We had to-go food from Sam’s Chowder House. Great food and no cooking or cleaning. Wonderful memories!

We took my parents here for a long birthday weekend and just enjoyed relaxing and spending time together. The views are amazing and the house is literally just off the highway, but you’d never know it! We got to experience the full coastal weather with brilliant sunshine and then the fog rolling in and out. Loved it! Alicia was super accommodating and the house is very well equipped. I will second another person’s review that I would definitely rather stay here than the Ritz Carlton in HMB!

The moment you walk in, this house perched on the cliff gives off the warmest welcome and begs you to come inside and get comfortable. Our trip was a much needed girl's weekend. This beautiful home gave us everything we needed, a place to relax, laugh, breathe and rest.

My husband and I were amazed at the location and how beautiful and clean the house was! I honestly didn’t want to leave the house to sight see. I would stay there vs the Ritz Carlton. We will be back again

Everything about our stay was wonderful. The location is amazing, with 180 degree plus views of the water, cliffs and friendly sea lions. The interior of the house is lovely with high-end linens and kitchen amenities, and bedrooms with great ocean views. The outdoor space is larger than we expected, very sheltered and where we spent a lot of our time. The hosts were gracious and accommodated every question. We will be back!!

Alicia was a great host! Super prompt to respond and very helpful. House was fully stocked with everything you’d need. We loved it!

Spectacular views from every room. Plenty of space for our family of 6. Close location to San Francisco made visiting our family a breeze but we felt we had our own calming retreat away from everyone during our downtime. Best sleep of my life listening to the ocean. Fully equipped kitchen with everything we needed. Hope to come back next year!

We loved staying here and enjoying ocean views from every window and outdoor space. The home was equipped with everything we needed. Our kids eapecially loved watching the seals laying out on the rocks just below the house.

The view is breathtaking. Enjoyed the crashing waves and sea lions basking on the rocks along the coast. So clean. One of the cleanest rentals we have stayed in. Loved the little luxury touches - RH linen sheets, nice dinnerware, lovely books. Easy communications with the host, Alicia. 10/10 would recommend!

We have stayed in many VRBO’s and this is one of our favorites. Alicia is very easy to work with and thinks of everything you’d need to have a nice stay. The location is incredible but it wouldn’t be the same without the thought to detail she put into the house. Definitely a place we will want to visit again!

This home is pure magic. The perfect blend of comfort and luxury. The outdoor space and views are unreal. We enjoyed whale watching and soaking in the fresh air. We look forward to staying again!

My mom, sister, and I spent five incredible days and nights at Alicia’s ocean-view house. We were overdue for some stress-free together time. We did nothing but relax, be completely awed by the views, walks on the beach, eating, drinking, and lots of laughing. We appreciated the laidback style of the place - exactly what a beach house should be! We loved watching the waves crash on the rocks, the huge container ships perched on the horizon, the squadrons of pelicans flying by, and the insanely beautiful sunsets. We brought a lot of food along, but thought we would go out at least one night to one of the many nearby restaurants; however, we became so comfortable and entranced by the house and views that we stayed in and had take-out from Sam’s Chowder House instead. We fell in love with Montara State Beach (a few minutes away by car or foot) and had a picnic there on our last full day. It was nice having access to the beach chairs at the house. We picked up sandwiches from Gherkins and spent the day watching the surfers. Thanks to Alicia for being such a wonderful host and responding promptly to our questions and special requests. It just doesn’t get better than Alicia’s house! Thanks again for the perfect get-away! And we hope to be back soon!

One of the best vacation rental that my family has stayed in. Thank you for being a great host. Will definitely book the place again!

The view from the property were extremely beautiful!!! Good size home with everything in it. We had a great family time in the house.

Can’t wait to go back…. It was the perfect private location. And ever single detail was thought of. Thank you Alicia.

Just got home from alicia's place & it was incredible!!! My husband and I are young working professionals with stressful jobs (engineer & small business owner) . When we get burned out we like to do rentals by the beach and just "bum" out. We are so VERY glad we found this gem! Because honestly... thats exactly what we did lol. From the RH furniture, crate & barrel plates, amazing smelling bath products, all clad pans & great smelling candles..it literally made us feel like we were home. The view.. dont get me started.. its just jaw dropping. It just feels like the ocean engulfs you with its beauty since its LITERALLY right there! The host is so kind and very responsive. She even let our 2 pugs stay with us- which meant the world to me since theyre our babies lol. Checking in and checking out was a breeze. Didnt really have to do anything extra at all! But being the OCD person that I am - I still tried to clean to help out. We also brought covers for the couch since its white and I didnt want my pups ruining it. Alicia even provided pumpkin bread , welcome wine, and even fresh fruit. I didnt know what they had at the place so I over packed... just an FYI they literally have EVERYTHING you need to make your stay comfortable. Such a great deal. Worth every penny. Would honestly stay here again for sure. Thank you!!!

This was a dream we didn’t want to end. The views are amazing and the wildlife that can be encountered from your back window was so fun to watch. The house is equipped with everything and more. Alicia goes above and beyond to make sure you are spoiled and comfortable. It’s simply amazing!

We felt so lucky to spend time at Alicia's place-- it is truly as beautiful as the pictures suggest. The house feels set apart and surrounded by the ocean. The view alone would be enough to make this a great stay, but the house is also incredibly well-appointed, with great linens, comfortable beds, and a kitchen with everything you could need. (Alicia even provides hotel-style bathrobes.) The back yard is a beautiful place to gather with friends and the city is within striking distance. Would 100% stay again and highly recommend.

This place delivers inside and out! The views are incredible — 180-degree unobstructed ocean views, and even saw dolphins swimming in the morning and sea lions sunbathing in the afternoon…all from the kitchen and living room views. The interior is very well apportioned with comfortable furniture, a fully equipped kitchen, and bedrooms that are spacious, quiet, and comfortable. I wish I could bottle the sound of the waves at night — I haven’t slept so well in ages. The entire property feels private and secluded, which made everything even more special. The owner is very communicative and incredibly kind. From booking through checkout, the experience was first rate. I look forward to staying again!

Our family spent a week here and hated to leave. This home is definitely one of the most comfortable rental properties we have stayed in. The owners have really thought of everything to make you feel at home. The views from this house are unbelievable! We loved listening to the ocean, watching the sea lions sunbathe, and spotting starfish with the telescope. The location of this property is perfect too. We were actually traveling for the kids Spring Break, so the proximity to major tourist attractions was a plus. We would definitely book this property again!
