About this property

Oceanfront Beach Retreat - spectacular views

Our beach home is a fun, relaxing retreat. Enjoy sipping wine on the upper level while listening to waves crashing against the reef, and watch the setting sun. Or, venture out and hike the ocean trails that are easily accessible from our home.

8 adults (including kids and infants) can stay in this house with 2 kings, 2 queens, 2 single plus 1 sofa bed. (let us know in advance if you will be using the sofa bed)
The third level has the kitchen, dining, and living room. There are four bedrooms on the second level and a one-bedroom suite on the first level. Each bedroom has its own private outdoor deck.
There are two suites with king beds and attached updated bathrooms. One Bedroom with a queen bed and one bedroom with twin beds share a Jack and Jill bathroom that is accessible from both bedrooms. This bathroom is fully functional but has not been updated yet. The lower floor bedroom has a queen bed with an attached living room with a sofa bed and bathroom.

The kitchen has all BASIC cooking supplies including a selection of pots, pans, dishes, wine glasses, a new microwave oven, dishwasher, and a new coffee maker. The Jennair range works well but is old and will get updated with our planned remodel.

The place comes furnished with two new smart TVs including a 75” for fun movie nights. Other amenities include free high-speed WiFi, 2 outdoor fire pits, a three-car garage (we use the single garage for storage, you will have access and can use the two-car garage), and a washer/dryer.

In addition to the main kitchen located on the top level, the bedroom located on the ground level has a small attached kitchenette and living room.

Though we allow children, there are open stairs and decks. If you book with children of any age, you acknowledge these risks and agree to hold us, the property owners, harmless for any injury your child may sustain on our property. Please acknowledge you have read and agree to these risks and waivers upon booking.

Part of the charm of our house is its quiet dark sky neighborhood. Outdoor light fixtures and bulbs are compliant with the dark sky neighborhood recommendations. Please dim lights or close blinds after dark. Since we are close to the ocean, please turn off lights when not in use and enjoy moonlit nights and stargazing.
We expect you to adhere to typical neighborhood rules: no outdoor group activity after 9 pm.

For security purposes, we have installed a Ring doorbell that records those entering the home.

We have a strict no-pet policy.

The cleaning team - White Glove, cleans and sanitizes our home according to Airbnb’s enhanced cleaning protocol. Our linens are cleaned by Purple Tie, the premier laundry service in the area. We do not iron our linens.

Please understand that we are in close proximity to nature, the ocean, and cypress groves. You might see/hear and encounter wildlife while in our home or neighborhood including but not limited to: moles, raccoons, skunks, sea lions, whales, birds, bees, spiders, ants, crickets, frogs, bugs, roaches, rolly pollies, and silverfish to name a few. These creatures reside in nature and we have no control over them. We do spray in and around the home regularly to reduce the incidence of bugs however we can't guarantee that you might not see or encounter some. Leaving doors and windows open adds to the possibility of this encounter.

Your rates include a 10% Transient Occupancy Tax that we will pay to San Mateo County.

Spectacular view and lodging design (sleeping quarters, etc)
We celebrated my husband’s 80th in a setting and location with a panoramic vista of the Pacific and innumerable walking trails for a group of enthusiastic senior and some younger folk. The accommodations were ideal and the amenities much appreciated. The three story level allowed for privacy and presented no difficulty for any of us “seniors”.

Big, beautiful beach house!
Our large family group really enjoyed this home. The proximity to the ocean and the views were stunning, especially the sunsets from the balcony! Everyone had their privacy, but there was room to gather together and enjoy each other’s company. The neighborhood was quiet, but we were close to stores and restaurants. The home was well equipped with everything we needed and the host could not have been nicer or more helpful. It was a great stay!

Absolutely Fabulous Ocean View Home
Our stay in this incredible home was absolutely wonderful in every way! The home itself is beautifully decorated, the beds exceptionally comfortable, the linens very high quality and the kitchen well appointed, offering coffee, cooking essentials, etc. But the Pacific Ocean view from large picture windows and the deck was the show stopper! There were three of us who stayed there, and it was so nice to have en suite bathrooms with each of the three bedrooms we stayed in. We thoroughly enjoyed a full day of watching Sunday football from the huge TV, curled up on the living room couch. The house is just a short walk to the beautiful Fitzgerald Marine Preserve. The owners were extremely responsive to our questions and very gracious. Highly recommend this home -- we will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Rani Riffat Jaffer

Host profile image
I am a wife, mother, and Human Capital Executive in Silicon Valley. I have lived in the Bay area for almost 30 years, and a few years ago my family fulfilled a lifelong dream of owning a house on the coast. We (my amazing husband and two sons) live in Los Altos, about 30 miles from Moss Beach. The Fitzgerald Marine Reserve and Bluff trail was a favorite weekend trip while my kids were growing up. We now enjoy sharing our beach home with other families that enjoy the beauty of the ocean, marine life, hiking, and spending time at the beach!
