We have traveled near and far, and this home by the beach is easily one of the best places we have ever stayed. We are a family of 6, and both the kids and the adults had a relaxing, therapeutic, and delightful stay. First of all, the host is gracious and an excellent communicator. We were met with a welcome assortment of snacks and libations, and quickly eased into the well-appointed home. Unlike plenty of other houses, every detail was well-thought out here. There were plenty of beautiful dishes, two dishwashers, two washer/dryer sets; plenty of paper towels, soap, toiletries, towels, and backups, which meant we didn’t have to rush to the store for essentials. The home itself is stunning. The appliances are high-end and easy to use, and there are plenty of bathrooms and powder rooms for all - four downstairs and 2 upstairs! The decor is unparalleled. Someone clearly thought through the design very carefully, and every room exudes seaside tranquility in hues of blue, grey, and cream. The cabinetry alone is stunning! Lighted wardrobes, built-in furniture, and drawers for days. But the absolute best feature of all is the ocean, which can be seen from nearly every room and every angle, and accessed from private stairs down to the beach. We all loved staring at the waves in the sitting room while completing a puzzle, venturing out to the beach at low tide to explore the sensational colony of anemone and starfish. It was a piece of miraculous earth right at our doorstep. The entertainment and relaxation was the nature itself, and it was thrilling to access it so easily and privately. Though we enjoyed cooking on the gas range, we were also able to use DoorDash easily for a special delivery meal, and grabbed take-out from the famous Sam’s Chowder House just 2 miles down the road. It was just a 20 minute drive to the Safeway in Pacifica, and Half Moon Bay is also just 25 minutes away. Back to the house, though: a few awesome details that are not obvious from the pics: the Sonos sound system easily connected with our iPhones for surround-sound music throughout the house; the place was squeaky clean and we were very comfortable in bare feet inside because the floors were meticulous; every bed afforded a good night’s sleep; there was a high chair available; and the hot tub room had a child lock. This home is totally splurge-worthy, and we had a 5-star experience. It was a wonderful family vacation for us all. We will definitely be back!
