Further details for this vacation house rental in Half Moon Bay, California

The station house is in an extraordinary location bordering natural open space which extends from the property boundary 800 feet to the ocean. Enjoy breathtaking ocean and harbor views from western and northern windows. A 3 minute walk gets you to a spectacular 7-mile-long beach (see picture below). Beginning at the northern end of this property there is a 5-mile paved bicycle/walking trail along the ocean extending to the Harbor. Just north of the Harbor lies the famous Mavericks surfing spot, and just north of that begins the 2-mile-long stunning Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. To the south of the station house there are walking trails through 400 acres of open space populated by raptors, great horn owls, foxes, white egrets and other wonderful critters. Out the front door east it is a 7-minute walk to Half Moon Bay’s downtown Main Street.

Enjoy sunsets from the backyard deck while soaking in the hot tub. The deck overlooks a large garden with many varieties of coastal and flowering plants, all of which borders open space extending to the ocean. Let your well-behaved dog romp in our large enclosed dog yard with a pet-door access to the house. Within a few minutes one has: Main Street shopping and excellent dining; two world-class golf links; a Ritz Carlton Hotel; hiking in the redwoods; bicycling, horseback riding and hiking on the bluffs above and along the beach; and surfing, swimming, kayaking, sport fishing, and whale watching. It is about 35 minutes to the southern and western parts of San Francisco and 45 minutes to downtown, the Marina, Fisherman’s Wharf, Chinatown, and North Beach. It is just 30 minutes to the San Francisco airport; 30 minutes to Stanford University, Palo Alto and the north end of Silicon Valley; and 30 minutes to the unique Ano Nuevo elephant-seal preserve.

Other Activities: shopping, kayaking, spa, boating, wildlife viewing

Great place to stay

Skittles10 Alta Loma, ca
Review Submitted: August 11, 2009 Date of Stay: July 2009
We loved the station house!! The location was fantastic, the house was very cute, well decorated and I have never seen such clean windows. The house was very clean, not a speck of dust, which is hard to say with wood floors. The view was very good and sitting on the deck at night in the hot tub we could hear the waves crashing on the beach. I told all my friends what a great place it is!! The town is very quaint and we found lots to buy in the local stores.
