I rented TreeTops for a girls' weekend away, and was definitely not disappointed. First, the location is great. Nestled into the hillside in HMB overlooking a grove of eucalyptus trees, the house is in a quiet, residential area. It makes you feel like you are miles away from civilization, although downtown HMB and every amenity you could want is a short drive away. We were able to enjoy Montara Beach, downtown HMB, and even drove up to SF one night for dinner.

Next, the house is utterly beautiful. Annette and Fred have put a lot of thought and care into the layout and decor, and it shows. From the tiny succulent window planters to the plethora of cookbooks, these personal touches make the house feel like a home. There were many spaces for sleeping and relaxing, and we enjoyed using them all (especially the hot tub on a cold, damp night). The house was also extremely clean and well-maintained, something we very much appreciated.

While the space was great, what I appreciated most about our visit was the ease of communication. Annette was reachable by text during our entire stay, and was able to answer questions almost immediately (not that we had many, but it was nice to get a quick response when we did). Annette and Fred were also extremely accommodating, such as when we asked to extend our check-out time by an hour.

I would absolutely stay here again, and would recommend TreeTops without reservation to others looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway.
