Beautiful beach house.

Love the view. location is fantastic. With hiking trails behind you and the beach in front of you if you like nature and a beautiful comfortable home, this is the place with bathrooms in all the bedrooms with an extra half bath upstairs.

Nice Place

Location was beautiful and house was large and clean. The kitchen and bathrooms are minimally stocked but I had read that in previous reviews so it wasn't a surprise. The white couches in the living room and the carpets are a bit stained but the bathrooms and kitchen were very clean.

Bay Area trip

Great house with everything we needed included, in quiet area with really nice view of ocean, beach is just a short walk across street. Short drive from many restaurants and easy access to drive to SF or bay areas. The owner was very responsive. I'd recommend it for family or friend trips

Delightful Spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Montara. It was close enough to Half Moon Bay for shopping and restaurants, and even closer to the beautiful beach. The home was immaculate and was well equipped with toaster, blender, etc. We had a great time.

Beach house

Great view of the crashing surf and right across the street from the beach. All en-suite bathrooms with lovely cabinets and sinks. Nice kitchen that is fairly well stocked. Firm beds but very thin bedding. Perfect place to enjoy the beach, go biking along the trails in Half Moon bay and many great restaurants.

In town for a reunion

Property was great. Richard was very responsive for any questions I had. The only request would be to have some additional things in the kitchen…aluminum foil, plastic bags…just some little things to make it really easy. We definitely enjoyed our stay! Super close to the beach and open space trails.

About the host

Hosted by Richard

Why they chose this property

This house was built as a getaway from hectic city life, while still remaining in close proximity to the city. Peaceful and relaxing, it is exactly what we needed whenever we wanted a break. Our family agrees on one thing: total relaxation when you're watching the waves from the comfort of the house.

What makes this property unique

OCEAN VIEW, OCEAN VIEW, OCEAN VIEW!
* Beach and Ocean view from inside and
outside of the house.
* Very clean and secluded Montara beach.
~200 feet from the beach...literally stone
throw-away distance.
* One side Ocean view and the other side
view of the mountains and woods.
* Most relaxing activity is simply lying down on
the top open deck and listening to the
sound of the waves, seeing the Pacific
Ocean while enjoying the sun.
* Large house and spacious
