Beware
The home itself was OK. It was clean and the check-in process was easy. Our issue was with the location of the home, and specifically how the owner represents it on Vrbo. The Vrbo listing shows the house being closer to the ocean and farther away from the main road than it actually is. In reality, it fronts a busy highway with car noise audible all day and night from inside the home. It is NOT a peaceful location. And it is downright dangerous for small children. You must cross 50 mph traffic in order to get to the beach. Some folks may not mind this, but they have the right to know ahead of time.I spoke with the owner about this and was told that Vrbo drops the location pin on the map "randomly". Respectfully, that's a bunch of hooey. The location pin isn't intended to show the exact location, but the home isn't even within the larger shaded circle shown on the listing's map. And I now see that other guests have registered the same complaint on about the location here and on A*rb*b.Thus, the owner has been on notice about this issue for some time but has done nothing to change it. That's intentionally deceptive. I told the owner I didn't want a refund. I just wanted it fixed so that other families won't be similarly duped. Had they done so promptly, I would not be leaving this review. Yet it's a been over a week since that conversation, and it hasn't been fixed.For this reason, I recommend not renting this home.

Overall Great Place to stay
My daughter-in-law and a couple friends stayed in Moss Beach for a quick getaway. The place was very clean and well stocked. It is on the east side of Hwy 1. I was concerned about traffic noise but when all doors and windows are shut it was quiet. I would stay here again.

We were in town for a wedding and needed an easy place to stay - this property fit the bill - it gave us the room we needed at a good price. Be aware that you need to cross a busy highway to walk to the beach - not a big deal, but something to be aware of.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! :(
The "beach" house was NOT where it was advertised! Even now the map shows it beach side of Highway 1 and it's 0.5 miles from the beach. And it did NOT have a BEACH VIEW, and there was NO garage parking, there was a ping pong table in the garage. Though the interior of the home is beautiful and enjoyable, the location required you RUN ACROSS A BUSY HIGHWAY to get to the beach. NOT COOL! Hot water was minimal in one upstairs bathroom, the shampoo/conditioner/body wash bottles were not secured in their holder and fell off frequently (could have injured a toe or food). Upon arrival and each evening animals knocked over the garbage can and food was all over the driveway. NONE of the windows had screens, that's a safety hazard. Kitchen was adequately stocked, and bathrooms had supplies and we appreciated the washer/dryer access. Several phone and written conversations with VRBO/VRBO supervisor/WAVE HOUSES management didn't address my location issue. i am sorely disappointed in VRBO for not defending me and allowing WAVE HOUSES to claim it's their "app" that causes that location issue and then said it's a security issue to not list the location more accurately. i feel deceived. and have lost faith in VRBO.

I dont recommend
Before you book know that the pin they drop for location makes it look like it’s in a neighborhood right near the water-false advertising bc it’s is on the east side of directly on highway 1 on the east side so you have to cross a very busy stretch cars go by 50mph +. You don’t know this until you book and the send you address and there’s no cancellation by the time I booked. Although there is a x-walk it is several blocks down the busy hwy, not safe for kids x-ing alone, mgmt said you couldn’t hear cars fr inside house -you absolutely can. It felt like staying at embassy suites on the hwy-kitchen stocked w basic essentials, but not one perk. Place was clean tho. I would stay somewhere else there are lots of great rentals in HMB.

Just the right amount of time
We really enjoyed our time here. The bedrooms were nice and spacious. Each with its own bathroom. The shared area was a bit small but worked for a group of 5. There was a game room area in the photos before we booked but we didn’t have access to this. That was a bit of a downfall. Otherwise, great spot for our trip to Half Moon Bay.

Great stay in Moss Beach
This property was just as advertised minus a few small items. The grass was unmowed which was surprising and shaded first impressions but maybe is common to the area. The inside of the home was clean and had many additional perks like coffee, tea, laundry detergent, shampoos etc. Three full bathrooms and comfy beds made our stay very pleasant. It was a convenient location to run up to San Francisco and Pacifica. Highly recommend Montara State Park just up Highway 1. Thanks again

Great house for our party of 5
The house is exactly as it is shown and described. We had absolutely no issues with ants, which was a relief. The downstairs bedroom was perfect for me and my husband and our bad knees. The upstairs rooms were perfect for the other three in our group. The property sits right along the highway, which we were aware of, but far enough back that there was no noticeable noise issues. I imagine the area is always pretty busy, so getting across the highway on foot was tricky, but doable. The Distillery, trails and beach are all within walking distance (over a mile, but doable). Checking in and checking out was super easy and big props for the ping pong table which got a lot of use during our stay. It was a great weekend and for as much as we got out and about, we also spent a good amount of time at home.

It was great, the only reason we gave location 4 stars is it was on the highway instead of in the residential area near the water. But despite being in a more suburban area it even had decent transit access. Also it needs coat hooks. But overall 5 stars!

Untrustworthy hosts
We experienced unfortunate weather while staying at the Moss Beach house. While loss of power was not ultimately the host's fault, it was how they handled partnership and communication with us following that was. BE FOREWARNED. There is a very irresponsible 3rd party involved with this rental that stopped communicating with us as soon as it became inconvenient for them. We lost power less than 24 hours into our stay and there were no flashlights or candles anywhere in the home. The power was still out the following morning (yes, we ended up 'camping' in the house through the 2nd night despite no hot water, cell service, internet, etc). By noon the next day when the power had STILL not been restored, we needed to make a decision about accommodations that would support our family's needs. The host has since completely ignored our calls and texts and showed NO understanding of us needing to move to a hotel so that we could support our kids needs (we were told via a single message with the actual 'host' when reaching out via VRBO that losing the power 'wasn't their fault' rather than recognizing the inconvenience a basic hotel would have honored in that situation). Additionally, beware of the ants in the home - they are EVERYWHERE. Lastly, the 3rd party is known as "Wave House" and yet the Credit Card processor is known as "Booking Away" - I would stay far, far away - irresponsible management and fishy 3rd party involvement (the phone number went to a personal cell phone).

Perfect location for a relaxing week
We rented the house for four adults to get away for a week over the holidays (we’re from the Bay Area) and it was great! It’s right on 1 and about a 5 minute walk from the Franklin marine preserve. We ended up renting e-bikes which was a great way to get around half moon bay. The host made it super easy to rent (they dropped them off and picked up). We also had some friends over one day- it was a little tight for seating at a table but we made it work. The kitchen had most of the things we needed (we ended up bringing a hand mixer) and we would definitely come back another year!
