"Your home is sooooo comfortable and the King bed in the Master Suite was wonderful. We slept so well each night (the fog horn was "soothing" to me!). We spent a lot of time "hanging out", reading, and Ken learning a few new songs on his guitar. It was peaceful, quiet and perfect." - Susie P., Napa, CA, 11/11/2009
"We enjoyed Harbor Vista very much. The sunset views are breathtaking and the house cozy and well-appointed. A perfect hillside get-away. " - Brooke O., San Francisco, CA, 11/09/2009
"I wanted to thank you for all of your efforts in helping me plan and coordinate my team offsite.

"We had a very nice time. Our timing was perfect, leaving Phoenix during the hottest week of the year. We enjoyed the food at Ketch Joanne's, hiking to Ano Nuevo to see the Sea Lions and fishing in the mountain ponds." - Melodie C., Phoenix, AZ, 07/12/2009
"Our stay in your house at Half Moon Bay was marvelous. We all had a wonderful time and it was so good seeing our western sons and some good friends from the Los Angeles area. We were all very comfortable -- the only complaint we heard about was the fog horn. I thought that sort of added to the atmosphere. Our son who lives in San Francisco was able to visit us on two different days. He is a freelance trombonist and plays in a lot of shows (Wicked), salsa bands, big bands and in the surrounding communities. We miss him and don't see him often enough. Everything about the house was very comfortable. The setting was lovely, too. We hope we can come again another year. " - Alan J., Roseburg, OR, 06/23/2009
"A group of us spent Memorial Day weekend at this lovely vacation home. This was the first time we've rented a vacation home instead of a hotel and we loved it! We can't wait to do it again! Everything was provided for you and was clean and tidy. No problem checking in or checking out and the owners were super nice to deal with. Keyless entry (keycode) made it super easy to go in and out. We were able to go to the beach and play volleyball, went to the driving range, drove 20mins to San Mateo to go bowling, walked down to see the harbor and shops, and most of all enjoyed the house games, 1000-piece puzzle, and relaxing hot tub. The place is great for kids too- full play structure outside! The pictures and description of the house matched what is on the websites. Great job. The only downside was the weather- mid 50s-low 60s with a cool breeze and very chilly at night. I advise you to check the weather, as it can vary since Half Moon Bay is right on the coast. This is a great place and highly recommend !!!" - Cherilyn Y., Mill Valley, CA, 05/25/2009
"It was really nice to disconnect for a few days, and my family all enjoyed their stay in your comfortable vacation home. Thank you again for the easy arrangements. We found that the house had everything we needed, and we appreciated the extras like the projection TV, internet access, and whirlpool tub in the master bath. " - Sarah B., San Francisco, CA, 05/22/2009
"We enjoyed this place - the owners have made great effort to make it seriously family friendly. High chair, pack-n-plays, games, books, toys, great play structure, etc. We really loved it, and there was easily enough space for 2 families. Three bathrooms made for no hassles with showers, and the kitchen had everything that you would need, including details like glad wrap and sugar! Owners are great to work with - generous and very accommodating. We would stay there again without hesitation. " - Sarah S., N.S.W., Au, 04/30/2009
"We stayed as a group of consultants who wanted to get away for a relaxing weekend of fun and team bonding. The home was amazing and perfect for our needs. The owners were amazing to work with and very accommodating. If you are looking for a fantastic stay, I definitely recommend this house! We look forward to staying again!" - HomeAway Customer, Berkeley, CA, 03/03/2009
"Thank you for letting us use your beautiful home for our recent Leadership Retreat. The house was the perfect size for our group of 10. We enjoyed the spacious kitchen and had a great time playing some of the games you had on hand for guests. Your property was very clean and had all the comforts of home. I highly recommend it to others looking for a homelike setting for a Retreat." - HomeAway Customer, Auburn, CA, 02/24/2009
"We had a wonderful time and your home is beautiful. We hope to be able to come back sometime in the future." - Julian R., Carmichael, CA, 02/02/2009
"I stayed at Harbor Vista to celebrate a birthday with several great friends (we live in Bay area so this was an easy weekend getaway for us). The house was exactly as described and the owners are really helpful in terms of answering questions promptly and providing loads of accurate local information. The property is clean with great linens on beds and wonderful layout and amenities for a group to enjoy each other near the beach. Fabulous sunsets from the deck, warm/clean easy to use jacuzzi, lots of space, great wood fire stove and fireplace, comfy furniture. Location is wonderful -- easy to access best beaches, local retail and spa/yoga places, restaurants and shopping...Half Moon Bay (which is a great off-season destination) is EASY, fun, kinda wanting to be artsy, surfery, good food, really laid back, a great balance of nature/social consciousness and access to the "upscale" goods/services if you're into that kind of treat, too. We were all adults in the property, but it would work really well with two families sharing with kids of any age. I would definitely recommend this property, and hope to return myself." - pvgirl, Portola Valley, CA, USA, 01/27/2009
"We had a wonderful weekend in the house and I would definitely recommend it to friends/family, if not use it again myself for future gatherings. Layout, space, furniture, decor, beds, kitchen, jacuzzi, wood stove, etc. -- all worked great and perfect for gatherings of friends and family. The sunset watching from the deck is amazing. Location is perfect. The Master bedroom (upstairs) bed was superbly comfortable and I appreciated the great linens there. " - Trish H., Portola Valley, CA, 01/11/2009

"My friends and I greatly enjoyed your vacation home, it was wonderful. I wish I had the chance to spend more than one night there as my friends had a wonderful time in Half Moon Bay." - Martin R., Chico, CA, 10/22/2008
"This was our family's first experience renting a vacation home for a small reunion instead of 3 or 4 hotel rooms, and it was fantastic. We spent a lot more time together and really enjoyed the feeling of a home rather being separated most of the time in a hotel. The owners were friendly, quick to respond back, and the arrangements were easy to make and confirm. The home has 3 bedrooms and a sleeper sofa in a downstairs family room and comfortably held 7 adults and 4 children. I will say that this home was very family and child friendly, with board games, toys, high chairs, porta-cribs all available to use. We sat around the fire place most nights which was great. In addition, the backyard had a play structure which was great fun for kids, and the jacuzzi was an added bonus. For the grown ups, we had 2 bottles of wine that greeted us, with a gift certificate for a local restaurant that we made use of that had excellent breakfast... The common areas were large and clean with great light and oceanviews. There was a great large dining table that was able to seat all of us comfortably during meals or late night chats. The kitchen was well-stocked and the instructions for all the appliances were available and straightforward. Also, the owners had a binder of local areas of interest as well as dining recommendations locally and even menus of many of the restaurants which was really a great help in getting out to explore the area or just order in. Lastly, the location in Half Moon Bay was great. We had plans to be in both the Stanford area (Palo Alto) as well as some day trips to San Fransisco, both of which were about 30 minutes away. The drive was easy, but with some windy areas which were only an issue at night... (two lanes, few streetlights). Otherwise, we had a great time. I would highly recommend this property to families, particularlythose with kids looking for a refreshing change of venue on vacation." - travelbuffs, san diego, ca, 09/30/2008
"What a wonderful stay we had! This house is absolutely very convenient and we were delighted with the space and the kitchen. It was very clean when we arrived, which is nice too! We've enjoyed being together with two Dutch families. The house was big enough to have us all: 4 adults and 6 kids age 4-15. We spent several days in San Francisco (beautiful!) and we also had a good time in and around Half Moon Bay. Many thanks to the owners and their good communication! Annemarie Gerretsen and family " - Annemarie G., Washington, DC, 07/19/2008
"The house was a perfect setting for a family gathering! The kids and the dog loved the backyard and all of us enjoyed cooking in the beautiful kitchen, grilling on the deck and just hanging out in this very comfortable home away from home. We hit the surrounding beaches almost every day and then came back to the house to enjoy the beautiful views from the deck. We will definitely be back!" - HomeAway Customer, San Mateo, CA, 07/17/2008
"A very comfortable house with a wonderful kitchen. Nice appliances, dishes, well furnished, easy to use. The beds are very comfortable with nice bedding. We enjoyed the hot tub, exploring the area, and relaxing. We loved the sound of the fog horn." - tjudyn@impulse.net, -, 05/22/2008
"I really enjoyed staying in the house for the weekend. It was close to the beach, close to stores and it even has a hot tub - what more could you ask for?" - HomeAway Customer, San Mateo, 04/22/2008
"I had an amazing time at your gorgeous woodland retreat. Words do not express the feeling I had while sitting on your porch gazing out at the tranquil bay while the sun set in a burst of gold and orange fire. All the while the gulls were swooping overhead and a lone sailboat made it's way across the horizon. I can't wait for more vacation time so I can return." - HomeAway Customer, Universal City, CA, 12/26/2007
"Great house with a beautiful view of the ocean and the sunset. Cool kitchen for cooking up that special something. And, the kids loved the back yard. Recommend." - HomeAway Customer, Not Specified, 12/09/2007
