The views are just as advertised. A seaside cliff view is a few steps away and the little beach nearby is not very well known and therefore pretty secluded. Most of the time my family had the beach to ourselves during a Bay Area summer weekend. Where else can you get that? This Airbnb was once a hostel, so do expect just the basic amenities. But the shower is warm, the rooms are not cold at night (in June at least), mini fridge, microwave, internet, you don't need much else to enjoy your stay. Lots of places to check out around Montara including the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, Pacifica, Half Moon Bay. Would love to come back again.
