Tranquil Oceanfront Retreat with Breathtaking Views

A spacious, quiet home at the end of a private road, opens up to over a 100 feet of low cliffs overlooking the unusual geology of Fitzgerald Marine Reserve and the wide Pacific beyond. The site of a former Catholic sanctuary, this is a perfect retreat, or a home base from which to explore the coast. A short hop to local beaches, nature reserves, a wide variety of outdoor activities, fine and casual dining, world famous golf courses, pumpkin patches and so much more. Enjoy a night in Downtown San Francisco only 25 miles north. SFO is only 25 minutes away and San Jose airport within an hour.

The light filled home is comfortable and beautifully appointed inside and out. You'll have the entire space to yourself though Bill, the great blue heron and Sammy the seal, may visit. Relax inside or out, let the house work its magic, and you may never want to leave.

3 beautifully appointed bedrooms with super comfy beds await you. 1 king in the main bedroom with en-suite. 2 more bedrooms with queen beds, all 3 boasting incredible ocean views. Open concept living, dining, well stocked kitchen, and bathrooms with fluffy towels and toiletires. And did I mention the ocean views! ?

Sit by the fire pit and listen to ocean while enjoying your favorite libation or enjoy your morning cup of tea watching the seals play in the waves. This location is one of a kind and is guaranteed to make you relax. Sunsets and whales are a treat not to be missed!

We loved our stay here! The views are unmatchable! The place was clean, the beds comfortable, plenty of towels and blankets. Amy was a dream to work with, so thoughtful and responsive. The one thing I was surprised at was that most of the windows and doors didn't have screens, which kept the views nicer from inside, but limited how comfortable we were leaving windows and doors open.We would absolutely book this place again!

Very clean, well appointed kitchen, comfy beds, absolutely gorgeous views. We even saw a few whales! Even though it got pretty chilly at night, it would have been nice to have a few stand fans or ceiling fans as it did get a little warm inside during the day.

The property is phenomenal! We felt like we were on a cruise ship with the ocean right at our feet! The property manager, Amy and her husband, were incredibly helpful and responsive when we discovered several steps that we could not negotiate with a power chair. Both the owner and the property manager went out of their way to provide ramps, make us feel welcome and allow us to fully enjoy this property. In fact, we loved our experience so much we booked the next trip before we even checked out!

Amazing stay, the photos don't come close to doing justice to the place. The views are unparalleled and as ocean front as it gets. The property was very clean, comfortable with all the amenties provided. The bathrooms could have used an exhaust - as it got musty. Amy was very responsive and accommodating.

The house was very well stocked and private. Gorgeous views. It fit our family well. We loved sitting outside by the fire pit watching the sea life (sea lions were our favorite). The back bedroom had a moldy smell which the property manager quickly addressed with air purifiers, but it was still kind of damp on that area. Other than that, it was a lovely stay.

A Dream Vacation Home!

This was the best family vacation we've ever had! The house was like something out of a dream. It was even prettier than the pictures, and so clean and well-kept. Every little detail was just perfect. The view from every single window and patio was heaven! My family loved cooking breakfast and sitting outside to watch the ocean. The binoculars were a hit with my grandmother, and we spotted a sea lion on our first day! Amy was awesome and we appreciated her easy-to-follow instructions and guidance for the local area.
