"We rented this house last year and came back for a second time. We LOVED it this time as well. It easily accommodated 8 adults with plenty of seating, dishes, towels, toilet paper, etc.... We walked along the ocean each day watching the surfers and spent time out on the back patio. Had great communication with the hosts!"

"This is basically a top dollar hotel at an inexpensive price for what you get. I just wanted to get a decent place to stay for the night at a fairly cheap price. The location was excellent and when I walked into the large room I was impressed. Granit counter tops on the dresser and the desk, a nice leather love seat in the corner of the room, and very clean. It had what looked like a nice breakfast setup with waffle makers, but I had to leave too early to eat. Very happy with my stay."

Miramar Beach House. A short walk to the beach.

10/10 Excellent
"We had a wonderful stay at this lovely property. We were walking distance to the beach and conveniently located just a short drive to cute downtown Half Moon Bay. The house was spotless and had everything we needed to be comfortable for our 11 day stay. The bed was very comfortable and I appreciated the separation between the bedrooms and living area. I loved the open living space, dining area, living room and large kitchen which made cooking while still chatting with my husband and our friend quite easy. The fireplace was a nice feature that quickly took the chill off on the cooler evenings. The backyard was private. It was nice to have the deck and gas firepit for enjoying the outdoors. We love grilling so having the gas grill available is always a plus. If you keep an eye out you might even catch some local wildlife. My husband caught a glimpse of a rabbit and we both were so excited about watching two great horned owls hooting away on one of the trees surrounding the property. The host was super nice and quite responsive. We would definitely stay again in a return visit to Half Moon Bay! Highly recommend."

8/10 Good
"We had a happy time staying in this villa house. It is comfortable and clean. The location is excellent! There are a couple of comments I’d like to share with the owner and management company: 1) The lock of the entry door had some issue to lock outside of the house. Need to try multiple times to lock it. 2) it is good to have private entry to each floor. But, I hope it make it clear in the description the apartment is at the second floor. There are possibly people upstairs and at the first floor. The balcony at the top is only for penthouse. Overall, we had a good time. Thanks! PTW. I wrote this note only to be shared with the owner and managing company."
