Interior Decorator's Coastal Home is a perfect retreat in Half Moon Bay/ El Granada. It is perfect for small group or families! If you love Pottery Barn and Williams Sonoma, this is the house for your stay!

This four bedroom home is just over 2,200 sq ft and has lots of living space for the holidays and vacations. The home offers three queen size beds and one full size bed plus a twin trundle bed. We have two toddler beds and various air mattresses that can be left out upon request. There is one bedroom on the main level with a full bathroom and the other three bedrooms are upstairs. The sofa is a DELUXE SLEEPER SOFA BED from Pottery Barn with a plush queen size mattress.

The kitchen is fully stocked with kitchen supplies. You will not be disappointed in the selection of pots, pans, dishes, wine glasses, and coffee makers! We have a Breville and a Nespresso machine for the coffee lovers in your group.

We ask that you limit your group to 8 or 9 adults.

We have a portable crib and two toddler cots. See photos. (We also have two twin size air mattresses that can be left UPON REQUEST). We can not accommodate more than four cars/ vehicles. Two cars in the driveway and two in front of our house out front. More than four cars will be an issue so please message in regard to parking if you have questions. ( we may be able to offer suggestions if you have an additional vehicle)

Let us know if children are staying and we will put out the games and age appropriate toys. We have doll houses and lots of fun games to occupy the children. We have a water table for toddlers and beach /water toys during warm weather months for the older kids too! The more information you give about your group/ family, the better I can customize your stay! ( I taught interior decorating classes and party planning classes in Minneapolis for several years. I love to host and cater your stay at our vacation home.)

The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances, coffee makers and cookware. We also have a custom gas BBQ grill and tools. (We clean the grill after each group.) We are just a couple blocks from the Marina where you can purchase fresh fish and crab for dinner right off the dock! We can leave stock pots for crab upon request.

The neighborhood is El Granada. We are about three blocks up from the beach, coastal trails and Princeton Harbor. The location is close enough to the fun in the harbor but up just a few blocks so you are protected from the cold ocean wind. ( they call our little area the banana belt)

Princeton Harbor is still a fishing harbor where the live catch of the day can be purchased directly from the fishermen. Just walk down to the dock and the fisherman's boards will display what is available for purchase each day.

Kayaks, Paddle boards and bikes can be rented at Half Moon Bay Kayak right off of HWY 1 at the lights into Princeton Harbor.

You can also order pizza from Harbour Pizza. (they have Gluten Free Pizza) It is also a treat to enjoy breakfast at The Press. Stop by for coffee as well as breakfast and lunch. Via Uno,Pasta Moon, and the Flying Fish are three of our favorite nearby places to enjoy a lovely dinner and wine!

San Francisco is 30 minutes north and Palo Alto is 40 minutes away. SFO is 15 miles and about 30 minutes depending on traffic. Santa Cruz is a beautiful 45 minute drive along the coast. Monterrey is 1.5 hours south of Half Moon Bay. Sonoma and NapaValley are 1.5 hours north. This is a great central point for your California Adventure!

Our house is great for family get together, girls weekends, wedding guests and couples. We do not allow parties at the house. I cannot stress enough that this is not a party house. It is a quiet family neighborhood. Neighbors will immediately report if you violate the cities noise ordinance after 9 pm on weekdays and 10 pm on weekends. This is standard in all of Half Moon Bay.
The number allowed on property is limited to the number agreed upon during booking. We are a neighborhood and cannot be a big party house. It is a family neighborhood and we ask that you bring the group inside at 9 pm on weekdays and 10 pm on weekends. ( same as most of your neighborhoods across the country :) We have installed a noise alert box to alert us to high levels of noise.

Parking: The driveway holds two vehicles. Two additional vehicles can be parked in front of the house on the street. Please note: Avenue Balboa is a one way street. Parking is allowed on both sides of the street unless otherwise marked.

My work: Interior Decorator
Lives in Half Moon Bay, California
I joined Airbnb a little over four years ago as a Host. I just love meeting all of our guests and sharing our beach home! It has been a fun adventure. I absolutely love the Airbnb community and how it brings us all together. What a joy it has been to open up our vacation home to families across the country. It makes the world a little bit better when we can share and experience friendships with strangers. I am a former interior decorator from Minneapolis where I spent several years teaching decorating classes as well as entertaining workshops. In my youth, I studied Journalism at a University in Indiana and received a Bachelors of Science degree. I specialized in Public Relations with a passion for event planning. My love for Midwestern hospitality is channeled through our Half Moon Bay House. I am a huge fan of Northern California. I fell in love with San Francisco as a child and the Bay Area has been a beacon over the years. We made the leap and moved to the area five years ago as we became empty nesters after raising our children. ( think Brady bunch, merged family) Growing up in the Midwest and spending summer’s with my mother just North of San Francisco, has given me a nice balance and perspective on the area. I would be happy to share my favorite places and sights to see as we continue to explore Northern California. I look forward to hosting your family and sharing my love of the Bay Area!
