Vista Delfino, is a well appointed, fairly updated unit in a mid-century building up the hill from one of the most scenic beaches in Half Moon Bay. A walk down the hill brings you to the beach and a few restaurants and a small market for forgotten necessities. (The Café Rio down the hill is not the Mexican Grill chain, like I thought it was, but a nice sit down restaurant with steaks & seafood, still recommended either way as the food and service were great.) It is a fairly steep walk back up from the beach for those with mobility issues but we enjoyed it. We found the place quiet and relaxing. It was off season so we felt like we had most of the complex and beach to ourselves.
The beds were super soft and comfortable, there were extra blankets in the second bedroom closet and the foot stools in the living room for the chilly nights. The radiant heaters warmed the place up nicely. There are flowers and a lemon tree on the deck that the hummingbirds were visiting, a great place to drink tea & coffee and have breakfast. The closets have loads of hangers and extra pillows and blankets. The master has a king size bed and a nice chair and a small dresser. The second bedroom, our daughter loved the memory foam queen size bed. We even found a scale in the second bedroom under the cabinet so we could weigh our suit cases before we left (very handy). The no pet policy is fantastic for us, since sadly, I'm allergic to dogs. I'm also super sensitive to perfumes and cleaners and had absolutely no issues here. The place smelled fresh and clean in a natural way. Two thumps up there.
The hall closet has a few games and there are a good selection of books in the living room.
The couch is relaxing and cozy after a long day of adventures around the area. There are plenty of dishes for making use of the kitchen, which we only did for making breakfast and sandwiches to go. The local area has so much to offer that we didn't spend nearly as much time in the condo as we would have liked to. There are three slider doors out to the deck, so you can open those and let some nice breezes in. There is a walkway outside the bedrooms but the windows are up high enough that it didn't feel like it. We loved the neighborhood feel of the place. My husband, daughter and I are already planning our next trip and next time adding a few extra days and maybe during the time of year where we can take advantage of the beach toys.
Just a tip: The wifi works great once we got it going. The cable and router were unplugged when we got there. After some investigating, it looks like the drawer they are stored in bumps it out of the plug when it was closed. (No big deal, but if it's not working when you get there just check the plug under the tv on the left side).
