What an absolutely perfect location for a quiet family beach vacation.
We had a fabulous visit - the location was absolutely perfect for our family of nine (5 adults, 4 kids). We loved walking to the beach, biking to the tide pools and restaurants and just hanging out in the big open upstairs enjoying the breeze and the views.
The beach is about 2 blocks to a rocky scramble or one more block to steps to the sand. The beach to the North is more populated but swing back around the rocks (from the stairs) to where the house is and you can have your own strip of uncrowded sand to set up your blanket.
Lots of people bring their dogs to the quiet small town beach, so you feel like you’re just one of the locals.
The house itself is ideally situated between to cute coastal towns of Half Moon Bay and El Granada. Close enough that Safeway is a 10 minute drive but tucked away on a quiet street where the kids can play and bike without worrying about traffic.
Speaking of biking (or walking) access to the Coastal Trail runs along the beach giving you easy biking access to Half Moon Bay to the South or El Granada to the North along a beautiful trail. We bikes to the tide pools with the kids for a great morning with the crabs and ocean life.
The house itself was immaculate with plenty of space for our group. 3 of 4 bedrooms are downstairs with one shared bath, master and living areas (kitchen & living room) are upstairs so your group should be able to manage the stairs. The kitchen was spacious with plenty of plates, bowls, utensils and seating, and the open layout to living spaces was a wonderful way to be together without being on top of each other.
It was a truly wonderful stay and we would come again in a heartbeat!
