A relaxing retreat.
It was our anniversary and we wanted to just relax with our pup. The apartment was perfect. The deck was wonderful. We all enjoyed being there. I would say the pictures don’t do the place justice. Thank you.

We picked this property based on excellent reviews and we were not disappointed. The apartment was nicely decorated and very comfortable. Nightime sleeping was comfortable and quiet. Good resauants are a few minutes away by car and it is easy to find the property. The communication from the hosts provided everything we needed to know. This is a place we could feel good about returning for another visit.

Water Lighthouse View
It was a nice quiet neighborhood and super easy commute in/out of downtown San Francisco. It does back up against a natural estuary area which means be ready for random critters roaming the deck, as we witnessed, with a nice water, sunset viewing from the deck.

Coastal Bay Oasis
My daughter and I were in California for my other daughter’s wedding. We decided a trip up the coast would be fun. I’m so glad we choose this lovely apartment. From the chilled wine and snacks waiting for us upon arrival, to the comfy bed & pillows, ample towels, beautiful view and charming fireplace (Midwesterner’s are sadly unaware that it gets chilly in Northern CA in June!!), it was everything we could ask for and more!

Pleasant Costal Area on Pacific Ocean
Our stay in Montara at the property of James and Silvia was very pleasant. Quiet Clean Interesting artwork It was also close to Sam's Chowder House, a very nice seafood restaurant. I would highly recommend this as a place to stay on the Half Moon Bay area. Convenient too . . . The drive to San Francisco Airport was easy even though when you are at the property, you have no sense that you are anywhere near a major airport. Thank you! Gary

More than wonderful place for our 1st anniversary
Celebrating our anniversary here was the PERFECT place to be at. Exceptionally clean and surpassed my expectations with the little extras. We enjoyed the artwork on the walls which provided us with great conversations. We played games, had drinks and danced on the deck in front of the fire at night, enjoyed the wildlife, loved the landscape with all the succulents and of course the view of the ocean. The bed was off the hook crazy comfy! We didn't turn on the tv once. Our little dogs came with us and that was a treat to have them there with us. We are highly looking forward to visiting again.

Beautiful Sunset View
Wonderful get-away, and so close to so many different places to explore. We had a great time. The bed was very comfortable. And the deck was great with the view of the ocean, and all the natural woodsy area right there. We saw a beautiful hawk hunting and capturing something. Very cool. One thing that was a surprise to us, because I didn't read the description of the place well enough, is that there is only the small refrigerator and microwave (it is shown in the pictures). There is no kitchen. We hadn't planned to cook this trip anyway, so it wasn't as big a deal, and we had a cooler for the food we brought that didn't fit in the fridge. Just a heads up for anyone who has done VRBO or AirBNB and might assume (like I did :0) that there will be a kitchen. :0)

Cozy and comfortable
We had a wonderful time staying in Montara at James and Sylvia’s tucked away retreat, just minutes from the beach and spectacular coastline of northern California. The hosts are most gracious and welcoming and knowledgeable about what’s available to experience during our stay. The apartment is spacious, clean and inviting and a great jump off to the historic and artful downtown of Half Moon Bay as well as to the exhilarating beaches and hiking trails along the pristine coastline. This is a great place to stay!

Totally delightful!
What a lovely property, in a beautiful area! Silvia and James' apartment is warm and cozy, and even though it is off of their house, it feels completely private. Lovely decor, and the patio is open for use to view the ocean across the street or the wildlife that comes through the trees (we saw deer one day). While no full kitchen, the apartment had all the essentials for me, since I was planning on eating two meals a day out in restaurants as part of my vacation. The area is beautiful, with dog-friendly beaches, restaurants and activities, and an off=leash dog park in Half Moon Bay. The night before I left, Silvia called and left a message for me to ensure that I knew about a festival in Half Moon Bay which could impede my travel home. Overall just a lovely experience, with very thoughtful owners who were readily accessible if needed. It was my second stay there and I definitely would go back again!

Coastal Delight
Everything about this rental was easy and comfortable. It was equipped with everything we needed, plus a view of the lighthouse. We mentioned we might want to do some crafting while there and the owner offered a perfect table for that and left it in the unit for us to use. The hosts were super: a bottle of wine was chilling for us when we arrived, and Silvia left fresh baked cookies (attached to our car door handles) for us the morning of our departure.
