Holiday rentals with beach access in San Mateo County

Very friendly and helpful hosts! Beautiful view and deck, quiet neighborhood.

Easy checkin, comfortable bed, and amazing views. Couldn’t have asked for more!

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our anniversary! It was super cute, with accommodations for our 3 month old. Close to local food/shops! Would definitely stay again!

Cory was a great host. Made sure we had everything we needed. Very responsive to our needs. The apartment was immaculate ! Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely spot in a lovely area!

Great place to stay, right by the ocean and restaurants in El Granada with also great walks around the neighborhood! Only 10mn drive to Half Moon Bay, 20mn to Pacifica and 30mn to SFO. Dan was always very prompt to respond and the place was as described and very clean and safe. We also found it very quiet. We definitely recommend Dan's place! Thank you, Dan!

Charles is a great host. Response time was very fast. Wonderful location so close to the beach. Quiet and comfortable.

We have stayed at Nancy's place several times, and it was pristine and comfortable as always. Nancy is a great communicator and very flexible with check-in times. It was only two of us, but with the comfortable futon, 3 adults or 2 adults with 2 kids would be comfortable because there is another full couch, and other seating, in the living area. The neighborhood is tranquil and gorgeous.

Robert is always such a great host! Responsive and the place is great!

This was a great place to stay for families! So many games and toys for kids and totally baby proofed! Great location too with short walks to downtown and the beach. Highly recommend!

Jennifer was a great host! She was super responsive and proactive when we messaged her throughout our stay. Our pup loved the dog door to the yard and walks at Thornton (2 min drive). It was easy to get to the city (quick drive to BART or driving).

The house worked out great for our 3-night family gathering of 7 people. The house is well located, easy to find and near the beach. The kitchen/dining area had an adjacent seating area where we could all comfortably gather, eat and talk, which was great. One of the bedrooms was on the ground floor which worked well for elderly grandparents. The other bedrooms are all upstairs, the layout has seating areas that added a little extra privacy. We only prepared 2 meals in the kitchen during our stay and found the kitchen adequately provisioned. Half Moon Bay was a delightful destination, very relaxing beach vibe, we drove to Pescadero, got pie at Duarte's, visited to goats at Harley farm, got warm at a fire pit at the Ritz, shopped downtown and ate at a few local restaurants.

Really nice property and so safe! Huge space and the police department is just right on the block! Thank you so much for having us!! Gave us really big help when needed!

Peter's Airbnb was even more beautiful in person than on the listing! It has a very relaxing, cozy, and calming atmosphere with beautiful decorations. There are trails to walk around on the property that have beautiful views and beautiful plants. I had this Airbnb for a work-trip for only 3 nights, but wished I could've stayed much longer!

Beautiful view and walkable location.

What a beautiful property! Rita and Steve are fabulous hosts. The home is new, well-designed and comfortable. The backyard is private with gorgeous landscaping. It’s a short walk to the beach. We’d stay here again. It’s a gem!

Perfect place in Pacifica! The location, just a block from the beach, was perfect. Also, the game room kept both the kids and adults entertained! A soak in the hot tub was such a treat after a day at the beach. Anna and Alex were excellent at communicating, and their check-in letter made it easy to find the property and entrance with the photos they provided. Plenty of parking on the street too. Beds were very cozy.

Nice cozy place and good location.

We had a lovely couple of nights here. The waterfront location is incredible—you can walk up to Mori Point for amazing views (we even spotted a few whale spouts!). The apartment is on the top (second) floor, so it’s more private and less visible to people walking by. A quick heads-up for out-of-towners: Pacifica can be foggy depending on the season. It usually clears by midday but tends to roll back in before sunset—just something to keep in mind for the views.

An absolutely beautiful, well appointed, and maintained home. It was a fabulous place to be for our vacation. The mattresses were heavenly. Highly recommend. We will return.

Great location if you want to stay close to SF! Safe and peaceful neighbourhood. Overall loved the place! Felt like home.

One of my favorite locations ive stayed in. Beautiful scenery! Beautiful home, comfortable bed! I'd love to live there! Only complain is the entrance to parking, if you have a low car, the bottom will scrape horrible if you dont hug the wall. and if youre staying downstairs, youll hear upstairs foot steps, but that was only 1 morning. besides those 2 complaints, its a excellent Beautiful home!

Melanie's place was perfect for me. Within walking distance to the beach & local restaurants. The condo was neat & tidy with lots of interesting decor. Thank You for letting me be your guest!

We had a fantastic time. The view was second to none, with easy access to the beach and restaurants. Kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. Great coffee shop within walking distance (albeit with a decent hill). We happened to stay when whales were just off the coast and saw them from the shore. Could not have asked for a better day. For those with mobility issues - you do need to climb about 10 narrow steps to get to the tram, which lets you skip the rest of the stairs. But there is no way around those first steps. Would absolutely come back.
