Amazing sunsets and whale watching from luxurious Ocean-Front Home

Our Pacific Oceanfront, Once-in-a-Lifetime home, is minutes from downtown San Francisco, Berkeley, and Silicon Valley, and provides a great place to spend a week or weekend, or a cozy and quiet retreat where you can fall asleep to the sound of waves.

Watch for dolphins, whales, sea birds, seals and sailboats from our huge deck and outdoor patio seating. The gas grill, patio furnishings, and garden make for a great entertaining and photo opportunities as you watch the sun set over the Pacific. Wake up to the widest views the Pacific has in store for you.

Our home will be disinfected and cleaned following CDC guidelines prior to your stay, and we have contactless entry/exit.

Our fully Furnished, fully equipped home has an open living/dining/kitchen plan featuring a dining table next to a fireplace, and a grand piano with cozy seating --all facing the ocean.

Loved our Stay in Pacifica!!
We were most pleased with our stay at Ocean-Front Home. The house is clean, our stay was comfortable, the Pacific Ocean is literally the backyard, and the city is in close proximity. The kitchen and house are well stocked with most everything anyone could need for a “Home Away from Home”. Tom and Cathy are the ABSOLUTE best hosts. If we return to Pacifica/SF, we will definitely choose this property again if available. We highly recommend Ocean-Front Home!

This home was just magical. It had everything we needed and more. I don’t think it could’ve been any better. The pictures do not do the property justice and that backyard view was a dream every day. Thank you for everything.

Location location location!
The property hosts have thought of EVERYTHING that makes a lovely beach stay. Cords everywhere for charging our devices, motion-sensitive night lights to keep us safe, abundant kitchen supplies for those who resemble a chef more than I do, drawers and cupboards full of spices and condiments, even guitars and ukuleles come along with the grand piano! The Abels are very generous people, allowing us to use all of this. The home was clean; there was a binder of instructions to make everything usable. Of course, the most important part was the view of the Pacific, and pelicans, and the pier! Lovely location!

Family time
We enjoyed a wonderful, tranquil week spending time together with my 98yr old mother. Every morning was spent enjoying coffee and tea and looking out the scenic windows for whales and finally on the last day, rewarded with one, spouting in the distance-just magnificent! The home is small but with great open design, definitely met our needs for 3 adults and visitors. Kitchen was very user friendly and well equipped, the large dining table and kitchen counter area was great, living room seating was comfortable to view the large tv and the outdoor area overlooking the Pacific was fantastic! The owners were in constant communication during our stay and were wonderful to work with throughout the entire process. Everything about this rental is accurate as described and did not disappoint. It is truly an A+ rental and I would not hesitate to rent again. Situated in the cute town of Pacifica, with SF and the entire Bay Area nearby, this is truly an idea location. Oceana Market met all our needs and washer/dryer was a bonus! ARIGATOU Cathy and Tom!

Seamless and beautiful stay
We spent a beautiful Christmas in this gorgeous home with all the creature comforts and stunning view! Cathy and Tom were lovely to check in on us when the weather turned and the waves soared. Despite the record setting weather, we enjoyed every second, we used the chef's kitchen to have a lovely Christmas dinner and enjoyed playing Christmas tunes on the piano as the tremendous waves came in. Truly can't wait to come back! Thank you for all the special holiday touches, Cathy and Tom! xo

Perfection in every detail
Our recent stay at Cathy & Tom’s vacation home was nothing short of extraordinary. Every inch of the interior has been renovated to perfection. The property exudes sophistication with meticulously chosen furnishings, creating a luxurious yet welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen is a culinary haven. Located on one of the most spectacular sections of pacific coast, the property offers an unparalleled experience with curling waves crashing against rocks just beyond the windows or right next to you on the beautiful back deck. Cathy & Tom were responsive, welcoming and friendly. This was a truly wonderful and worry-free experience.

The most amazing house – better than the photos
This house had everything you could possibly ask for. The kitchen had so many appliances. We had fun learning how to use the wonderful Breville espresso machine. It has a built-in tutorial that is hands-on that really taught us how to use it The deck on the ocean is much closer than it looks in the pictures The hosts were lovely, personable and helpful. The place was spotless, the beds were super comfortable, multiple charging cords were provided, and the view was amazing! This house is dog friendly, with a fenced-in yard There is lots to do in Pacifica and the neighboring cities. A short drive to Golden Gate Park, Half Moon Bay, and everything in between. So many good beaches for the dog too! We will definitely be back!!

Relax and recharge by the ocean
It is a wonderful surprise to enter a rental property and have it surpass expectations. We felt fully welcomed into someone’s home. For the style of two bedroom ranch home sitting right above the crashing waves of the pacific, this place is beautifully and practically appointed. The kitchen is spectacular. If you love to cook even while vacationing, this is the place. The hosts are welcoming, accessible and make it clear they want you to feel like like family. Enjoy!!
