The house is located in Moss Beach in a quiet neighborhood two blocks uphill from Highway 1, which follows the Pacific coastline.  There are a nice small grocery & liquor store, a post office, three restaurants, a fire station, a Sheriff's office, and an emergency hospital, all in the small village of Moss Beach.  

Nearby are beautiful hills, bluffs, beaches, and tidepools within walking distance, and also kayaking, surfing, golf at Ocean Shores golf courses, ocean fishing or whale watching from the Pillar Point Harbor where you can buy Dungeness crabs and fish off the boat, or eat fresh fish or a variety of international foods at some of the best restaurants in the Bay Area, attend the famous October Pumpkin and Art Festival, and visit a variety of shops in nearby in Half Moon Bay. There is even a nearby airport for small planes and a wonderful restaurant for breakfast or brunch.  

There are big hills surrounding the SF Bay Area and good hiking trails on the Montara mountain trailhead 3 minutes away, horse riding, bicycle riding, and walking on Coastal Trail, tidepools to visit at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve only a 5-minute walk away (contains marine life typical of the coast and is visited by school classes and people from all over the world), and just above the Reserve is a unique cedar forest, site for a couple of movies, overlooking a large group of seals sunning on one of the most beautiful white sand beaches in the world. The small village of Moss Beach has a quiet location near farms of flowers and vegetables, with local produce stands scattered about. The entire area is scenic and attracts many artists to paint the views.  

The drive to downtown San Francisco takes 25-30 minutes, 30 minutes to SF Airport or Peninsula cities and trains. And if you want to see California attractions a bit farther away from the coast, the drive by car is 1-1/2 hours to the Napa/Sonoma Wine Country or the Monterey / Carmel Peninsula, and the Sierra Nevada mountains, Yosemite National Park, and the Gold Rush Country are a 3-4 hour drive from our coast.
