My family and I had a wonderful stay at Mary-Anne's place. It was very clean and quite large for a two bedroom VRBO. We cooked in a couple nights and the large kitchen had everything we needed including an amazing full-wood butcher-block island. My kids and I had fun playing ping-pong in the backyard our first morning. This property is close to many things Half-Moon Bay and quick access to the HWY without being so close that you can hear the traffic. We could not hear it at all, which was nice and peaceful. We'll definitely consider coming back for a future coastal vacation!

The host was very accommodating and left games for our kids - which they loved. The home was comfortable and close to all that we had on our list to do and explore.

We had a great stay. The rooms were clean, the house was well maintained and the owners (Mary-Anne and Brian) were very responsive. If you are looking for a quiet, well kept house, with access to the Bay Area, this is the place. The price point was hundreds less than local area hotels and other rentals. I could not recommend this place more highly!

Great place! Huge! Loved the kitchen! Also had every kitchen utensil we needed! Within walking distance to the ocean! Owners were extremely nice and accommodating! Nice to stay out of the city but still be close enough! Will definitely stay here every time we visit San Francisco!
