I don't think there are enough wonderful things to say about both the home and our overall experience! First, YES, it is right on the water. Absolutely incredible!!!!! The home is more than beautiful. In fact, I believe that it might be one of the most thoughtfully designed houses we have ever had the pleasure to rent. Not a single bit of wasted space. So easy to navigate--beautifully stocked--impeccably clean. It is so spacious feeling and comfortable. The design made it feel far larger than it actually was. From watching tv in the main room on the comfy couch to cooking meals in the beautifully organized kitchen to simply sitting on the deck watching the mighty ocean--everything was perfect! Check in a breeze--beds comfy--perfection! I want to note that we had business in San Francisco every day, and it was a super convenient location for getting to and from quickly. Without question we will be back! Bravo Cathy!

Clean & cozy, felt like home immediately. Chefs kitchen was well outfitted. The whales and other marine life were quite active making the back yard the main hangout space. Hosts were attentive and great communicators during our stay with pointers on local restaurants and things nearby to do. It was an excellent place to unplug and recover. Would definitely recommend.

6th stay, 6th beautiful time!
This was our 6th stay at this property. As always, the owners are absolutely meticulous, organized and generous beyond words! Beautiful note and wine left for my birthday, furnishings are comfy and deliberate in their functionality, and THE OCEAN! There is absolutely NOTHING like opening the front door and having that initial view of the ocean roiling and playing down the backyard cliff! We never sleep better than when we are sleeping at Cathy & Tom's beautiful thought out home in Pacifica!

The usual perfection in one of the more beautiful months of the five times we’ve stated this property. Mornings were spent stretching by the ocean and watching dolphins play. Evenings spent cooking, listening to music and falling asleep to the waves. The generosity and kindness of the owners is unmatched.

Excellent location
I've been searching rentals and hotels up and down the west coast for ocean view properties and this is by far the BEST location so far. The ocean is practically in the back yard. I know most people go to these towns to run around sight-seeing and going to the sandy beach. But I just wanted a place I could go and relax and enjoy the ocean in solitude. This was it! There were benches in the back yard where we could privately enjoy the ocean at any time of day or night.
The house was well stocked with games, puzzles, kitchen appliances and utensils. There's no Keurig but there's a standard drip coffee pot or a fancy Breville machine. Plenty of blankets and pillows. Nice comfy couch. Even with the doors and windows closed at night you can hear the ocean waves crashing. You can even lay on the bed during the day and see the whales splashing around in the ocean. I'm definitely renting this place again if possible.

Wonderful, quiet oceanfront home with easy access to SF
This home was perfect for our family’s visit to SF. It was very clean and well-equipped with ample cookware, dishes, spices, oils, etc. for preparing meals. The living area felt cozy but spacious, and we had a great time tinkering on the piano and playing some of the many available games. The hosts were great to communicate with and checked in to make sure our stay was going well. Pacifica itself is a quiet, sleepy town which provided a nice reprieve from the hubbub of SF. We enjoyed grabbing a coffee at Cafe Pacifica and strolling the promenade along the beach. Nearby Mori Point was an easy hike and worth a visit. We were immensely lucky that a large group of humpback whales were hanging in the waters of Pacifica during our stay. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience watching whales from sunup to sundown, often just a couple hundred yards from our back window. Everything we planned to do was an easy drive from Pacifica, including Muir Woods, SF, San Jose, and Santa Cruz, so it worked very nicely from a logistics perspective. When touring the area, be sure to dress in layers and be prepared for a wide range of temps. SF has microclimates so you may need anything from coat/hat/gloves to shorts and a tank top depending on the day/hour/location.

Oceanfront House
We heard the gorgeous sound of the waves all the time and seagulls floated by our windows. Very quiet and serene. Open Kitchen/livingroom gave an expansive and homey feel. Matress in master is firm and fantastic. Bathrooms were a bit small but practical. The hosts were extremely responsive with integrity. We spend a lot of time exploring Half Moon Bay which is a 10 minute drive from Pacifica.
