What makes this house unique

This beautiful location with views of the mountain coming down to the ocean never ceases to delight our senses. Love to hike Montara Mountain with it's many trails, walk the Coastal Bluff Trail in Half Moon Bay and the Pacifica Coastal Trail at Linda Mar. The Harbor area is a treat with kayak rental, boat excursions, restaurants and fresh fish off the boats. Being just 25 minutes from San Francisco makes for great day excursions. We are within a few hours of several wine regions. Our sleepy little town is amazing and affords a serene respit for the spirit.

Felt Like a Tropical Vacation in Montara!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 6, 2013 Stayed: March 2013
What a pleasant surprise to visit Montara, and feel like we were on a tropical vacation! This well appointed home is comfortable and clean, with breathtaking views, colorfully decorated with awesome bedding, great location, close to SF and Peninsula. Didn't make it to the beach, the view from the house was enough for us. Will be referring my friends, can't wait to come back.

EXPECTATIONS EXCEEDED....SPECTACULAR VIEW

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Montara Bluff House, amazing unobstructed views of the Ocean, Beach, Sunset, Mountains, & Marin Headlands, all while sipping wine in front of the fire! Was a terrific, relaxing, and romantic getaway. Super clean, with high end appliances and finishes, fully stocked, offered all the comforts of home. Private, peaceful location, with plenty of easy parking. Short drive to excellent restaurants, fresh seafood and fun shopping on Main St. Lovely owners, everything was just as represented on the site....but better. Wish we could move in!

the next time we dare to take some time for R & R, this spectacular secret will be out, and perhaps too booked for US to relax there!?!?! Was it Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz who professed, “There’s NO place like home, there’s NO place like home.” Dorothy must not have had the chance to enjoy Kathy and Michael’s Montara Bluff House. Although Toto most likely won’t be invited (the sound of the waves would scare him anyway!) you, will be treated like family and be lavished in every comfort of home. Imagine perfect serenity with vast views of nature’s paradise where mountains join the sea, each day rolling into the next with no care of time, reason or technology. The furnishings are classy and thoughtful offering pristine breathtaking allures of a dreamy respite. Wake each morning to peaceful serenity. The scenery is amazing to relax by or be as active as you’d like! The town is cozy, full of wonderful restaurants and shopping centers (if your prefer to dine in home). The kitchen is well appointed, and the property is very well maintained, and immaculate. I would definitely recommend this property to the most discriminating traveler. The photos truly do not do it justice. One of our favorite get away spots by far and only a short 30 minute drive from San Francisco.We look forward to returning, and to visiting Kathy and Michael's other properties! Excellent overall experience! Thank you for sharing your piece of West Coast "Heaven" with us!

Gorgeous!

We recently enjoyed a wonderful vacation with our adult children @ Bluff House. the views are stunning - even better than the photos. We appreciated all the surrounding beauty, enjoyed many hikes, and relaxed playing cards by the fireplace. The ams &pms are chilly, so be sure to pack sweatshirts! the house is spacious & inviting. San Fran is about 30 mins away. a little more pricey than some other houses but well worth it to us. Perfect!

Great. Relaxing Home for a weekend getaway

5 of 5
Submitted: June 3, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
It was through VRBO that I found this home. A girlfriend & I, went to relax and boy did we! The home is a very beautifully decorated home, with lots of great window's to look out at the ocean, surfer's & hopefully to see whales. The dinning table in the front room is such a great place to sit and have morning coffee & breakfast, as well as having a great cocktail hour by. The home has everything you may need to have that special weekend away. The two bedrooms are so pretty & the two bathrooms have everything one might need including a hair dryer. If your eating in all three meals then of course you need to go 7 miles to Safeway for all your supplies, but that is a short drive down & back. Yes we did it!

Thank you Michael & Kathy for greeting us and thank you Michael for bringing in our things from our car and placing them in the bedrooms we chose. Thank you Kathy for printing out all the restaraunts to go to for dinner or whatever. Yes I would rent this home again for a relaxing getaway and should you need to go to the beach it is just a very short drive. This home is more for the adults to enjoy, but they don't discourage families with children. Check it out you will love it!

Granite Bay, CA Girl!
