Beach house holiday rentals in Half Moon Bay

Beautiful space that was well appointed. The home was super clean. Al was an attentive host, answering any questions we had. This location is special. Beautiful ocean front sites and sounds and at the same time being close to the city and the airport. We had a great time relaxing in the backyard, hiking up Mori point, and visiting the pier. Welcoming destination, would recommend for a relaxing getaway.

This oceanside stay was such a treat! We loved hearing the sound of the waves crash on the beach while we slept at night. What a special experience and comfortable stay, thank you!

We never wanted to leave! beautiful place, extremely gorgeous surroundings, lots to do nearby, great recommendations from Stefan and all the guests felt like they had the best room. I loved how pelicans would fly by right at eye level, we could pop down the beach in less than a minute, I could look out and see the endless ocean from almost any room, the kitchen was big and bright, and I even saw some whales migrating north!!

We LOVED our stay at Evan’s place. Exactly as described. We took advantage of all the things including a dry sauna, a hot tub and the bikes. I was able to even get in a day surfing. I brought my own wetsuit, and borrowed a board. My 3 year old referred to it as our “vacation house”. We will absolutely be coming back.

We all enjoyed Bernadine’s home for our girls weekend. The home is set up so that if you are sharing with another family or you have kiddos there is plenty of space for everyone. It great for a family or friends gathering for a weekend. Location is lovely and the views are stunning. You can walk along the bluff over looking the ocean or you can take a short drive to Fitzgerald Nature Reserve which also has stunning views. Great place for getting away and relaxing.

My family and I stayed here during spring break and it was wonderful! It was a short walk down to the quiet beach where our son played for hours. The sundeck was great all day and night, and we could hear the seals in the morning from it! It was a short drive to the boardwalk too. This house was amazing and we would definitely stay there again!

We had a wonderful time in this beautiful home. I loved hearing the waves at night. The house was very clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommend it and I would stay here again. The property is beautiful and close to restaurants, shops, and great walking trails.

One of the best Airbnb stays I’ve ever had. The view alone is worth it — absolutely stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset. The house was spotless, super modern, and had little luxuries that made a big difference — like heated floors and even heated toilet seats. If you’re looking for a peaceful, high-end place to unwind in Half Moon Bay, this is it.

Monika's place was indeed a home away from home. The location was great, and the place was extremely clean. She also did as good a job as any host that I've dealt with in providing detailed instructions regarding the facility, as well as all kinds of info about local points of interest and available services. Indeed top notch. My family and I were visiting San Francisco, and Monika's place afforded us a very convenient and more reasonably priced option to downtown. No question that we would look to stay there again when we get back to the area.

The condo was great. We had an issue with the master bathroom shower but Bjorn took care of it right away the same day that it was noticed. The location of this condo is perfect. Right on the ocean and within walking distance for dining, shopping, and several things to do on the ocean. Would recommend this condo to anyone.

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.

Our family had a great time staying here! The condo was beautiful, clean, spacious and stocked with all the supplies we needed! The bedrooms were comfortable and clean with plenty of space, the kitchen was great and we appreciated the coffee bar and pans for cooking. The living room is a fun place to chill and the condo is super close to the pool and tennis courts and the beach! Vincent was friendly and easy to communicate with and check in and check out was very easy. Hoping to stay again in the future!

Wonderful place and host. The place and views was spectacular and maintained very well. Beds and amenities were very comfortable. Crystal was amazing and super helpful and went out of the way in helping us. Will most definitely repeat.

We had a great stay! The place was a great value—clean, nicely decorated, and very comfortable inside. The hosts were super responsive and made everything easy from check-in to check-out. Convenient access to everything we needed. Would definitely book again in the future!

Outstanding location and great condo. Condo was just as advertised. It was clean and very comfortable. Cheshire Realty was easy to deal with.

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.

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.

Really relaxing stay. Perfect location and great place!

Amazing spot, home and host! Adding to all of the other glowing reviews here. Nancy was incredibly kind, responsive and had great local recommendations. The home looks just like the pics and is very well stocked with nearly everything you need (or forgot). The view from the deck is amazing on clear days. Overall, highly recommend. Thank you again, Nancy!

Great location! Friendly and responsive host. House was lovely and just as described.

We had a great week at Jon's place. We were traveling with a 4 year old and a 5 month old. It is tough traveling with young kids and this house was ideal for our traveling circus. The kitchen is spacious, and we loved being able to cook meals for our picky toddler, and having in-unit washer/dryer was so handy. The location was walkable to local shops, restaurants (pretty much any type of food imaginable), coffee shops, and some of the nicest beaches in the area. We are familiar with Santa Cruz and have stayed in a few other neighborhoods and this one so far is our favorite. The house had a pack-n-play for the baby and even sand toys for our toddler (which he was thrilled about). Jon was very responsive, and when we had questions he responded right away. We would definitely stay here again for our next trip to Santa Cruz.

We had a lovely stay. The proximity to the beach and location in Santa Cruz were great. It was ideal for walks to and on the beach. The Boardwalk was close by via car as were a good selection of restaurants and shopping downtown. The house was clean and thoughtfully outfitted. Thanks!!

This property is absolutely beautiful! The upstairs is perfect for kids to bunk together or for a family to enjoy their own private space. One of our favorite features was the rooftop access—we were lucky enough to spot dolphins and whales in April! The main living area, located up a flight of stairs, offers stunning ocean views through large windows. The living room has a playful vibe, highlighted by a unique painting with rope lighting that made movie night extra fun. The kitchen is spacious and stocked with the basics, but we recommend bringing items like baggies, Tupperware, and paper towels. If you’re planning a game night, just let Stephanie know—she was incredibly accommodating and provided games upon request. Our stay was fantastic! The beach is just a five-minute walk away, and the hosts were responsive and helpful throughout. The beds are very comfortable, and the bathrooms are well-stocked with towels and essentials. We would definitely stay again!
