Best vacation we’ve had in years
It was my first time in California and my husband and I had an amazing time in Montara. The house was clean and extremely well equipped. We cooked great meals on the BBQ, walked to the beach, enjoyed the local restaurants and had great day trips to Big Sur and San Francisco. This house is a gem and we will be back!

Hidden Gem!
We LOVED our stay. The property is adorable, well maintained and well stocked. It is in a lovely and quiet location. Our favorite part was sitting in the front porch watching the alpacas and enjoying the ocean view. Communication was outstanding. There was a major storm while we were there and they made a point of letting us know there was a generator they would start for us. Beyond 5 stars!

Weekend getaway with Chins
A perfect place for a weekend getaway with hubby and my Japanese Chins. The only suggestion is to reduce the bottom gate space between the Verbo yard and the neighbors yard. My dogs are small and could have easily slipped underneath to neighbors yard. I had to place table benches on there side against gate to cover.space.

What a delightful place!!
Beautiful little stand-alone house in Montara! We loved the beautiful neighborhood, with a community garden right next to the alpaca farm (loved the alpacas also!) Quick drive to Half Moon Bay for shopping and restaurants, 2-minute drive to Montara State Beach. 10-15 minutes from other beaches. The home was exactly as described, and the check-in and check-out processes were simple. I had no occasion to have to contact the host. My favorite place of all the places I've stayed in Montara so far!

Vaca House
We had a great stay, the only reason we gave it 4 stars was because there was a "ring/ automatic light camera" in the backyard. There were no shades or covering for the doors that lead to the backyard. it felt like we were being watched thru the back doors. Also, no blinds on windows,or no screen doors! Hard to open and let fresh air in without the bugs flying in the house. However, house was very nice and clean. Quiet location and you can actually see the beach and hear the waves!

Amazing little getaway
This whole experience was amazing. My wife and two boys (16 & 12) had all the space we needed, along with our dog! We had family staying in half moon bay at the ritz Carlton, but this was an affordable alternative just a few minutes away! We used the full kitchen to cook a huge breakfast, and went on a hike on the trail just short walk down the road. We brought some sandwiches and had a picnic in a clearing on the trail with a stunning view. The backyard is a nice little oasis with string lights & beautiful green grass. And right out the front door is an Alpaca farm! You can walk right up to the fence and sit on the little bench and watch them graze, or watch them from the rocking chairs on the front porch. We will definitely be staying here again!
