Amazing Place!
My friends and I stayed to celebrate our 50th birthdays and we loved everything about the place! It was clean, well decorated, the perfect location and there were nice touches and amenities throughout. The owner was super kind and responsive, and was really flexible about our check-in/out time. Overall, an excellent experience!

Staying at Captain's quarters, Half Moon Bay
This is a great rental. The owner was great, easy to communicate with and very responsive. The view from the deck is amazing, the kitchen, dining room and living room layout was awesome. The kitchen was very well equipped with everything you need including a lot spices, salt and pepper grinders, etc. All the beds were very comfortable, master bedroom and lofts have plenty of space. All pictures for this listing are very accurate except the view is more spectacular than the pictures on the site. Location s also great as we were walking distance to the Maverick's House (wedding ceremony) and to several nearby restaurants and bars. We highly recommend this rental. We plan on staying here again.

NorCal Beach Getaway
The Captains Quarters was a perfect getaway for the weekend. The entrance to the place is a little different but once we got inside, we were blown away. My entire family of 8 adults slept, relaxed, ate, and showered very comfortably. The roomy loft area with 3 large beds was great. The extra 1/2 bathroom downstairs that was provided really came in handy too. We were impressed with not only the location and roominess of the property but also the cleanliness and quality. The bedding, bathroom and kitchen appliances, cookware and dinnerware were in perfect condition. Everything was so fresh and brand new, there was a lot of thought and effort put into accommodating guests. The owner Ab was extremely accommodating and helpful. We thank him for his flexibility and easiness to communicate with. I'd recommend this wonderful place to any family wanting to experience Half Moon Bay, California.

Amazing vacation rental
We rented a total of 3 VRBO on this trip and this was our favorite. It was decorated so cute. Everything was available that we could have needed. The location was wonderful within walking distance to bars and restaurants. Ab was very responsive and pleasant to work with. Grateful to have come across this beautiful rental in Half Moon Bay.

captains quarters indeed!
we booked this rental for the boy half of our wedding party! our wedding was a friday and we booked the place wed - sat for the the groomsman to stay (this location was next door to our venue). we ended up needing to book an extra night (tues) and ab was more than accommodating! was thoughtful and communicative and even dropped off some bagels for the gang. we did have the entire wedding party over for dinner thursday and were a bit loud, which caused a bit of an issue. we responded promptly to his concerns and it felt like things were resolved. the space itself is gorgeous, with natural light and more than enough space. looks out on the water, seamless to get in an out of, and ideal location. would recommend this vrbo to any responsible, respectful group (:

The Captain's Quarters exceeded our expectations. The layout and design of the house is perfect to take advantage of the location which has wonderful views to the harbor and surrounding hills. The home although large and spacious feels very warm and welcoming. We didn't want to leave.

Wonderful stay!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Captain’s Quarters! The property is beautifully appointed and very clean. Plenty of room for our family of four (our boys loved the loft space!). Absolutely beautiful views of the harbor and all the way to Mavericks on a clear day… we can’t wait to visit again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

My daughter was married 4 doors down from this awesome home., at Mavericks House. We had friends and family coming and going, working on floral arrangements, and getting ready for the wedding. The home was awesome and Ab the owner was so accommodating. Neighborhood is up and coming with outdoor venues with live music just a block away. A++

escape to the coast
Very comfortable, clean and spacious for a family of 4 and possibly up to 6 or 8 even. Ab was a wonderful host, friendly, communicative. It was lovely waking up to the sea lions and pelicans and sounds of the waves lapping on the shore. Good easy biking nearby and plenty of beaches to explore. The harbor is perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding too. We didn't want to leave!!

Almost perfect!
We had such a great weekend here! There were several restaurants that had patio or indoor dining, and all had take out. We hiked up to Pillar Point Bluff and enjoyed a picnic at the top. The home is very cozy. It was spotless! The attention to detail was everywhere. The decor is well thought out. And it's comfortable. You can spread out and not be bumping into each other like in a hotel room. The couch was a little too soft for my back, but that is minor. It was really great to hang out on it and watch TV, play a game, or read. The kitchen is set up to prepare a full meal, or, like us, make our coffee and tea (provided) in the morning. The bathroom is thoughtful and the shower is really nice. The pressure was good. We slept so well with the high quality bedding and excellent mattress. We had a few things we didn't love, but it didn't take away from the great time we had. The view - while the water is so close and is viewed from the patio, there is a building directly in front of the home which is in front of you if you're sitting outside on the patio. Not private, but that was okay with us. We knew before we reserved the space this would be the case, but the upside is the water is so close and it is visible from all the windows. And the toilet paper was one-ply. The whole space consists of high-end, expensive furniture, appliances, and decor, so the one-ply doesn't belong in such a nice place. And lastly, the wifi was very slow. We tried to watch the musical, Hamilton, on TV, and couldn't, which was unfortunate, but not the end of the world. We would definitely stay at Captain's Quarters again. And Ab was communicative and prompt. Thanks for letting us stay at CQ!
