Beach house holiday rentals in Half Moon Bay

What a treasure to find. Perfect place to go after work and just relax. Ocean is directly across the street. Loved hearing the waves. Absolutely would recommend and will definitely be back.

really love this house. I seem to choose it every time I go to Pacifica. it's quiet, clean, and within walking distance of stores.

Views from this beautiful beach home are just Dreamy! Amazing kitchen was well stocked for all your big meals or just a nice cup of coffee with a view! Home has great set up, plenty linens, dishes, silverware for large groups. We had family from 1 to 96 and had a fabulous stay! Many memories made! Stefan was very responsive and helped make our stay perfect!!

Ian was communicative and super accommodating during a hard time for my family. Very much appreciated.

Great spot, right by the boardwalk. Clean and well stocked. Big comfortable beds.

We enjoyed our stay at Lauren’s home. House was clean and cozy. Conviently located right by the boardwalk. A short 10 mins walk will land you at the beach. Plenty of parking. The rooftop deck is also a great perk to this house. We would love to come back for the summer time!

We had a fabulous time.

This was a very clean and lovely home that was easy to access. The neighborhood was nice and only about a 10-minute drive to the boardwalk. You can hear and see the ocean from the deck. There is a beautiful walking trail along side the ocean less than a block from the property. The owners responded quickly and were friendly. I would highly recommend. Hoping we can visit again soon.

Beautiful place in a very scenic area near Santa Cruz. Bjorn was a wonderful host with quick response to all our questions. Totally enjoyed our stay at this great resort right on the cliffs with easy access to the beach. Thank you Bjorn

The heated pool and hot tub were the focus of this very successful vacation. There were 8 of us: a family of 4 from Oakland, (Mama, Papa, girl 7, girl 3), from Chicago - a couple 37 & 40, and from Martha's Vineyard, us, 75 & 79. The 3 bathrooms were great, and the kitchen was well equipped. We ordered out mostly, from Hawaiian and Mexican restaurants. We spent a day on the boardwalk, and another on the trail at Wilder Ranch, where cliffs overlook ledges with MANY sunning sea lions, The house is easy walking distance from a couple of beaches. During our winter stay, there were high tides, wind and surf warnings. The views were spectacular. Also instructive. The father took his daughters an early morning walk; they saw a woman swept from the beach across the pavement. She had bloody knees, but was otherwise fine, but she and her two equally insane friends came off the beach. I hope the girls will remember this vivid lesson when they grow up to be invulnerable teenagers. Doubt it.

Christian and Christine's home was pristine, beautiful, clutter-free, and so perfectly functional. In addition to having all the practical amenities listed (great A/C, beautiful kitchen, refreshing pool) there were some details that really came in handy while traveling and working there with a couple of young kids, such as: neatly organized toys and books, some unbreakable plates/cutlery for kids, a removable pool gate they setup for our stay, and the separate sauna / work space that allowed me to work uninterrupted with the kids at the house. They were so responsive and helpful, going so far as to anticipate our questions with a check-in document. I felt I could reach out with any questions or concerns and they would get back to me within less than a day, but nothing came up during our stay with any urgency. Their house is meticulously maintained without being delicate -- definitely a wonderful place to stay that I'd highly recommend to anyone and to which we'd love to return.

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage on Kristen’s beautiful property with our two kids and my parents. The cottage is beautifully appointed with a great sunny deck and very comfortable beds and linens. The property is amazing and we loved exploring the hiking trails and private beach and watching the sunrise. The kids also loved the trampoline. The house is in a very private location but it’s just a short drive to downtown Tiburon, which has lots of charming restaurants and stores. Kristen and Athena were wonderful hosts - very welcoming and responsive.

Amazing place, super great host, and so nice to be close to the ocean. Can’t wait to go back!

We had a great stay, all of the instructions were easy to follow and covered everything - there are beach chairs, towels, wagon and a few toys which made days at the beach so so easy! The coffee and tea selection were great and offered a wide variety. Would def recommend

This was our second time staying here, and it did not disappoint. Adrienne was communicative and responsive and overall made for a very enjoyable stay. Would highly recommend!

Sarah's place was such a vibe! Could see the ocean's view in the backyard, and very near to the beach if you want to take a stroll. Also well located with Safeway just 5 mins away. About 30 mins to SF, and 20 mins to Half Moon Bay. Quiet neighborhood which was great for us.

Our stay here was absolutely perfect. Immaculate. Inviting. Comfortable. Ideal location. We appreciate the quality of this home and amenities. We had a front row seat at a storm blowing in from the ocean. Breathtaking. One of our favorite experiences due to the luxury of the stay. We will absolutely stay again.

The house is absolutely amazing. It’s a short drive to restaurants and shops. The walk to the beach is only a couple of minutes. The ambiance of the house is warm and cozy. So many amenities were available including the indoor fireplace, the outdoor grill and fire pit, as well as bikes for the family. The outdoor space is perfect for dining. Even though it was a bit cold, the outdoor heater made it warm enough to stay outside at night. The host was extremely helpful and welcoming. Absolutely loved the house and we really hope to come again.

This is the 3rd Stinson house we have rented and the best! The location: on the beach, closest to town possible, easy parking, beautiful views from inside or out, perfect interior layout. We rent 3 to 4 house each year for our family of 7, ( I figure cheaper and more flexible than owning a vacation home) Tahoe for Christmas, Santa Cruz before Thanksgiving, Lake Arrowhead this summer and Hawaii for Thanksgiving 2025. Unlike a lot of places we stay, Jeff's place had good stuff! Beach chairs/toys, fry pans and utensils and good kitchen lighting! The place feels well cared for and supported! We hope to be back soon!

Such a lovely beautiful place we felt right at home, slept better in this home then we do our own highly recommend this gorgeous peaceful home to anyone looking to just relax and also so close to the boardwalk, can’t wait to book it again!!!!

Really nice, spacious house with a super nice bathroom. So close to the beach and has everything you need for a little getaway. Host was flexible and house was well-prepared for our stay. Thank you!

The house was well stocked with everything we would possibly need. Looked just as was presented in photo’s-very kid friendly, nice neighbors. And well Santa Cruz is the best, this location was perfect! We had walking distance access several beach’s and e-bikes stations were super reasonably priced and very conveniently placed. The hot tub was why we chose the home and after long days of biking-it did not disappoint!

We had a wonderful stay in Stinson Beach. The house was clean, cozy, and equipped with everything we needed for a quick family getaway. And the beach access was perfect. Even when it rained, there were plenty of games to keep us entertained and happy. An overall great stay, highly recommend and look forward to returning.
