Miramar Beach oceanfront home w\/ amazing deck views & just steps from the beach
About this house rental
Welcome to this two story home located right on Miramar Beach, steps away from the beach and with magnificent 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean, Pillar Point and the Princeton Harbor. The home is also steps away from the Miramar Beach Restaurant as well as being located on Mirada Road, which is part of the Coastside trail leading as far north as the harbor and all the way south into the charming town of Half Moon Bay. Detour onto HWY 1. Miramar Beach is a destination spot for travelers all over the bay area. Ideal renters are a large family or up to 6 adults and 2 additional children. Minimum age is 25 years old to rent. No pets and no smoking. The home is a beach front getaway with 2 levels and a reverse floor plan in which the living area, dining area and kitchen are located on the second floor with an upper level deck all with stunning views, and the bedrooms are on the ground or first floor. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the first floor. One is a master suite with its own entrance, bathroom, and walk-in closet. The two other bedrooms are located just down the hall with a separate floor-heated bathroom just across from them. There are brand new flat screen TVs with cable in the master bedroom, the bedroom at the far end of the hall (Yellow Room) and upstairs in the entertainment area. The middle bedroom (Bird Room) does not have a TV. All bedrooms have lots of storage including dressers and closets. A staircase from the bottom bedroom level leads up to a large open floor living space which includes a newly remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a dining area and an entertainment area. Enjoy the spectacular views from anywhere upstairs. Additionally there are two smaller room/areas leading to the deck. One can be used as a nice cozy spot to sit and read, work on your computer (internet included) or just take in the view. The other room is an enclosed patio with a large wooden bar built in the 1950s and for kicking back with a drink in your bathing suit, weather permitting. Both of these room/areas have sliding glass doors to the deck that lead directly downstairs to the oceanfront road. The deck is a great place to catch some rays, whale watch or enjoy one of our stunning California coastal sunsets. There is plenty of parking and you also have one covered carport area for a vehicle as well. The home is located on the north side of a world renowned jazz club established in 1964, an Event Center.

There were six of us during our stay and we all had the best time. I loved how open the upstairs rooms were, yet noise from separate areas didn't travel. Plenty of seating around the home. Absolutely loved sunsets on the deck. The walking paths were nearby and we found a beach to dly our kite. Bathrooms and kitchen are updated and had everything we needed. Beds are very firm. Rooms were spacious. Primary bedroom was even more roomy. Loved the separate heaters. I had my parents who require more heat than the rest of us, so it was comfortable for all. A beautiful bottle of wine greeted us too. What gracious hosts. Thank you!

The property is amazing, spending time on the deck is unbeatable. We saw whales and dolphins throughout the day. Our stay was during record heat in Half Moon Bay and it was gorgeous. The kitchen is fully equipped, and bedrooms and bathrooms are clean and comfortable. Would love to stay again.

The house is a little quirky but fun to stay in. It is directly across the street from the beach; fun to hang out on the deck. The bridge nearby is under construction so there was no traffic - not sure what it is like when the bridge is back on line. Internet is good; kitchen well-equipped; clean.

This property was perfect for 3 generations of great family time - both at the beachhouse and for surrounding area activities. The house was roomy, well stocked and very comfortable. The deck offered more space for family time activities with a lot of seating for our group of 8. I also appreciated the layout of the kitchen - able to visit with other family in the living room as well as see the ocean while preparing meals. Our host was very responsive too to my inquiries. Would definitely like to stay again.

Very comfortable, very clean, perfectly located for lots of Long Beach walks. Everyone loves the Douglas house and waved and smiled as if we deserved credit for all the fond memories people have there. The kitchen, bar, and deck are ideal for entertaining. Claire made it all easy.

This was our second time this year staying at the DBH on Miramar Beach. Without a doubt our favorite VRBO. This house is special and the surrounding area is perfect for taking walks on the beach or just sitting on the deck watching the ocean. Claire, the property host, is great and always available if you need her. The kitchen is well equiped and if you choose this house for your vacation you will not be disappointed. We are looking forward to our next stay.

Our 3rd time staying at DBH - it's always relaxing to hang out in the large upstairs or on the deck. Kids love to boogie board (byo), play on the beach, and ride bikes. Great for a chill vacation and we'll be back again next year!

Really enjoyed our stay. The property is located right along the ocean, walking distance to restaurants and cafes, and has a great view.
The 3 bedrooms and 2 baths downstairs are nicely sized and well appointed. The upstairs has an open format, a huge amount of space, and great views of the ocean. You also have access to large external deck with ocean views.
Next time we come back to Half Moon Bay we will be sure to stay here again.

This was our second time staying at this property. The location cannot be beat for easy access to the beach and an easy walk to the closest restaurant. We love to turn on some jazz music from their amazing selection available to guests and watch the waves from the deck. The property manager is great to work with.

We had a great time. Only suggestion is the deck needs shade during the day and a heater at night. But the location can't be beat.

A very nice property, new appliances throughout. Very clean, which is most important to us. Owners tried to seek renters’ corporation to maintain the cleanliness during the stay. Outside hose was provided to rinse the sand off before we go insider after activities at the beach. I enjoyed the owner’s rental protocol very much. Everything was explained well on the check in information.
Also very important, is the view. The location is unbeatable and the view from the deck is breathtaking. It is conveniently located near all ocean and land activities, restaurants and grocery stores. No matter which route you are taking for your vacation, there is always a way to satisfy you.

We had an exceptional time. Perfect place for gathering family together. We cooked most of our meals in because we simply just didn’t want to leave. Lots of wonderful wildlife, seals, pelicans, etc. Places to rent canoes just down the street. Lots of fun.

This property is so unique! We truly enjoyed browsing through the jazz cd collection and even the teenager found some they liked. Nonstop views of the ocean, listening to the waves, and being able to walk to the beach from the house made it a perfect location. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. Lots of places to spread out to enjoy the space.

Four friends from around the country stayed at this home for a girlfriend's weekend. The location was incredible - with ocean views from every room upstairs. We did yoga in the sunroom, lounged by the cozy fire and played games, cooked together in the spacious kitchen, and spent a lot of time watching sunsets in comfy chairs on the big deck. The beds were super comfortable and this home is close to beaches and hiking trails and less than an hour from SFO. I'd definitely go back!

We had a wonderful time. The house had everything we needed & more. Scenery was awesome. Claire was great and responded to questions we had right away. The only problem was the delay of get into the house on arrival. Cleaning people didn’t finish cleaning until after 4:00. But house was spotless. We will certainly be coming back. Thank you
