Immaculate, spacious and well-appointed home 2 blocks from the ocean! Our family stayed for a weekend getaway at Tom's house and we could not have been more comfortable and pampered.
First of all, the house: it's beautiful and meticulously maintained. We're a family of 4, but the house is so roomy it can easily host larger groups and for longer stays, since it has everything you need. We mostly sampled local restaurants, but the kitchen is nice, big and well-equipped to do a range of cooking, plus there is a grill, lounge area and lawn in the back yard. We enjoyed coming home in the evenings to watch Netflix and play foosball and other games! There are 3 distinct family areas on the first floor - TV room, lounge and game room, so larger groups can have different activities going on in separate spaces, which is nice.
Secondly, the location is incredible! The house is in a nice residential neighborhood 2 blocks from the Coastal Trail that runs along the ocean cliffs! It's also a short walk to Half Moon Bay Beach! The Coastal Trail is where we spent all our outdoor time - on long walks to the Ritz for hot chocolate, on jogs and to watch the sunset. It was so perfect. The house is also about a 15 minute walk or short drive to downtown.
Finally, Tom has taken all the guess work out of the house and surrounding attractions by providing a detailed guest book. We didn't do any advance planning, but didn't have to - we just consulted the book. We hope to be back!
