traveler reviews for this half moon bay house rental

Great beach house retreat

pvgirl (Portola Valley, CA, USA)
Review submitted: January 27, 2009   Date of arrival: January 9, 2009

I stayed at Harbor Vista to celebrate a birthday with several great friends (we live in Bay area so this was an easy weekend getaway for us). The house was exactly as described and the owners are really helpful in terms of answering questions promptly and providing loads of accurate local information. The property is clean with great linens on beds and wonderful layout and amenities for a group to enjoy each other near the beach. Fabulous sunsets from the deck, warm/clean easy to use jacuzzi, lots of space, great wood fire stove and fireplace, comfy furniture. Location is wonderful -- easy to access best beaches, local retail and spa/yoga places, restaurants and shopping...Half Moon Bay (which is a great off-season destination) is EASY, fun, kinda wanting to be artsy, surfery, good food, really laid back, a great balance of nature/social consciousness and access to the "upscale" goods/services if you're into that kind of treat, too. We were all adults in the property, but it would work really well with two families sharing with kids of any age. I would definitely recommend this property, and hope to return myself.

Recommended for: families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway, pet-friendly, sight seeing

Owners response: Wow, thanks! We really appreciate the kind words. It captures all the things we love about the Half Moon Bay area, and we're really glad that you enjoyed staying at our home so much.

Great House, but......

Review submitted: December 26, 2011   Date of arrival: October 1, 2011

The 'Harbor Vista' is a very nice house. Lots of room for a group. The property was very clean and inviting. Our problems began with the washing machine not working, the owner was contacted and we were told the parts would not be in for a couple of days, and there was a laundermat we could use in Half Moon Bay. Just the way we wanted to spend our vacation, at a laundermat. I have a feeling the washing machine was broke before our arrival. The towels we took out of the linen closets were nasty smelling, like they got wet and not washed. The house keepers were bringing in towels from a laundermat, (why? the washer was a large capacity, late model). Our other complaint was there was only one full propane tank. The cooking grill was on a front upper deck, and the outside fire pit was in the lower back yard. We had to carry the tank through the house in order to use either feature. Again we were told to go have a tank filled (he would credit us). I think for the amount of money we payed for the week, these amenities should be in working order, or we should of been compensated in some way (maybe $50 off?). We would of given this vacation home 5 stars if the owner would of been more accomodating to our problems, but he ignored our numerous calls after the first time we notified him. We also did not receive our deposit back in a timely fashion as promised. It took many phone calls and e-mails to the owner (which he again ignored). I finally received the deposit back after I called HomeAway. By the way, there is 2 houses under construction right in front of the house, there goes the veiw!

A value for 12 poeple

WOW! What a great place to stay. A clean open floor plan. Plenty of room for everybody. We had a great time at the house and all over town. Both decks have a great view of the ocean. The back yard is kid friendly and the hot tub was a hit for all ages. House supplied plenty of towels, linens, and items you just wouldn't think about bringing on vacation. The outside fire pit was good for
smore's. The home theater looks and sounds fantastic. The kitchen was very well equipped and had plenty of paper towels. The beds were comfortable. The neighbors emptied the trash on collection day and returned everything. Harbor Vista is an excellent rental property. We will stay there again.

Recommended for: families with young children

Owners response: Thanks so much for your review! We are so happy you had a nice time at our home and enjoyed the views, hot tub and fire pit. We work hard to keep our home fully stocked and very clean, so it's great to hear that we exceeded your expectations. -Rich and Jen
