About this property

Ocean-front Moss Beach Retreat

Ocean-front getaway nestled in beautiful Moss Beach. Secluded beach in front of house! Short walk to Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, Moss Beach Distillery and hiking trails. 5 minutes to Half Moon Bay. Many restaurants and family-friendly activities nearby. Short 25 minute drive to downtown San Francisco! All the creature comforts of home. 1 King bed in master loft, Queen beds in the 2 guest rooms, each in their own ocean view bedroom. Perfect for couples, business travelers, families and big groups.

Guest are responsible for the County of San Mateo's Transient Occupancy Tax of 10% for stays under 31 days. If you are visiting for three weeks or more, it may be cheaper to rent for the whole month, even if you wont be using the house. We can discuss a custom arrangement.

Our home is an architectural asymmetrical A-frame - please note that the master is a loft bedroom above the living room (also an amazing view!). It is visually very private, but some noise from the loft can be heard in the living room, and vice-versa, in case you are a light sleeper and you have noisy friends/family.

- This is a no smoking property. If you wish, you can smoke on the back deck, but please do not leave butts. We request as a courtesy to neighbors, that you do not smoke in the street in front of the house. Of course we can't make that a rule, but it is a request.

Also, please be aware that the side deck is temporarily closed pending repairs. The front private-patio is available, and the back ocean view deck also awaits you!

Wonderful owners!
We had to book last minute and the owners could not have been more wonderful to accommodate us! The house is spacious with a well stocked kitchen and the views from the back deck are amazing! This is a great place to stay!

Great! Beautiful view.
It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We would recommend checking out the well stocked kitchen before grocery shopping.

Best house I have stayed in yet!
Amazing experience, very nice house with the perfect location!! I couldn't have asked for anything more I appreciate the owners letting people have a chance to experience California at its finest! The location is in a great area, secluded, and at the same time just minutes away from San Francisco, so it's all up to you what you want to do here! I loved the place and will definitely book this house for any future vacations!

Perfect Beachside Getaway
I couldn't believe how secluded this place felt right on the water line while still being only 20 minutes to downtown San Fran! Truly the perfect weekend getaway for our group. The sunset views out the two story living room window were incredbile. And we could also just walk five minutes to the little grocery store or one of the great little restaurants on the main road. Can't wait to come back for another visit.

About the host

Host profile image
We are global travelers who love the ocean and the trees. That's how we ended up here in Moss Beach. This is the best hidden gem on the West Coast!

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Moss Beach and got an intuitional hit about this house months before we even saw it. We hope you love this unique retreat as much as we all do.

What makes this property unique

This three bedroom, two bath home is an architectural dream. Reported to be designed by a student of Frank Loyd Wright, this asymmetrical A-Frame is sure to make you feel at home among its soaring ceilings and walls of glass. Each bedroom has an ocean view, but non-better than from the master-loft. Fall asleep to the constant rumble of the ocean as it hits the reef just a few hundred feet away!
