Nice location. Short drive to beaches. Nice, spacious deck and nice furniture. Ocean view from deck is as shown on VRBO. The traffic noise while on the deck could be heard, but not from inside the unit. Owners very nice and good communicators.

Beautiful little one bedroom with private enterance

The one bedroom was very well located, had beautiful views of the ocean, nice outdoor fire pit, and a very responsive host. The mattress is a bit soft with uneven firmness and the kitchen is just a fridge, micro wave, and coffee pot.

Decent size, comfortable bed, nice deck. Had everything we needed. Couch was a little uncomfortable and it would have been helpful to have a sink other than the bathroom sink to rinse dishes. There was a mini fridge, coffee supplies, and a microwave. The host provided chilled wine and snacks for our arrival which was a nice touch. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

Exceptional Hosting

The property was clean with a large comfortable deck for enjoying the sun and ocean view. The property was well stocked with anything a person would need to have a relaxing vacation. The hosts checked in a few times to ask if I needed anything, which I didn’t because it was so well stocked…I would most definitely stay with Sylvia and James again in the future!

Beautiful views and great location

This was a great place for a long weekend getaway. Located between Pacifica and Half Moon Bay everything is within a reasonable distance. Silvia and James were great hosts. Being welcomed with a bottle of wine and having snacks available is a nice touch. One specific I'd like to mention is the walkway to the entrance is loose rock and stepping stones so if you walk with a cane like me you need to take it slow. Looking forward to going back.

About the host

Hosted by Silvia and James Maher

Host profile image
My wife Silvia and I (James) have had the great fortune to be able to raise our two kids (Derek and Fasha) in such a beautiful place in the world. Now that they have grown and are about the business of making their own lives we decided to share our good fortune with others.

Why they chose this property

We originally rented this house from Silvia's father when he temporarily left the medical field to serve as the country administrator of Costa Rica for the Peace Corps. Following he did a similar job in Nicaragua. After a five year hiatus he and his wife decided to settle in Denver Colorado. We were delighted buy this ocean view house and "take it off their hands".

What makes this property unique

A 3 minute walk across the street brings you to Montara Lighthouse with breath taking view of the rugged coast and crashing sea. It also has a youth hostel and a rentable space for events and such. Follow the trail you can you can visit both a beautiful sand beach and rocky tide pool area.
If nature is your thing then you be delighted with the many trials for hiking and biking. If it's surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing,
Good eats galore!
