Seaside Retreat near Surfers Beach NEWLY REMODELED

Seaside Retreat is located in a quiet neighborhood just a 10-minute walk to Surfer's Beach and the Coastal Trail, walking distance to Sam's Chowder House and Princeton Harbor, a short drive to the famous Mavericks surf break, and just 4 miles to historic Half Moon Bay. It's the perfect base for enjoying the Coastside and the Bay Area, situated 40 minutes south of San Francisco and an hour north of San Jose. Decorated with a seaside theme, you’ll love our place because of how light and peaceful it feels.

Travelers visiting Seaside Retreat will have access to a completely private, self-contained ground-floor unit of a duplex. Two bedrooms have very comfortable beds (one room has a king bed and the other has a queen), luxury bedding, and quiet sitting areas. Relax after a day at the beach or sightseeing in the cozy living room with a flat-screen TV.
The kitchen island is a great spot to check your email or surf the web. Alternatively, there is a portable desk that can be set up anywhere in the unit for work-at-home-away-from-home comfort. Wifi and basic office amenities are provided. Printer can be provided upon request.
The kitchen is bright, spacious, and fully equipped for preparing a simple snack or a gourmet meal. The dining area is adjacent to the kitchen and easily accommodates 6 people. Books about the area, local magazines, and card and board games are provided for your enjoyment. The living room opens onto a deck to enjoy morning coffee or an afternoon glass of wine. The backyard offers a ping pong table and a spacious brick patio with outdoor dining and grill available.
By prior arrangement with the owner, travelers can have access to a washer and dryer located in the garage area. The host occupies the upper unit of the duplex and is very accessible for questions and assistance as needed.

El Granada is a small beach community located just north of Half Moon Bay. Seaside Retreat is located within walking distance of Surfers Beach, the Coastal Trail, and Quarry Park with hiking trails leading up into the hills with fabulous views of the harbor and ocean. Nearby are a variety of restaurants including Italian, seafood, Indian, tapas, Sam's Seafood Restaurant, Hop Dogma Pub, Ocean Ciders, and the Half Moon Bay Brewing Company. Fishing, kayaking, paddle boarding, golfing, surfing, whale watching, biking, hiking, wine tasting, shopping, an elephant seal sanctuary, redwood groves, and even scenic flights from the local airport are all just minutes away. After a day of fresh air and activity, you can find several local spas offering a variety of treatments to help you relax.

It is a short drive to historic Half Moon Bay with its friendly Main Street lined with shops, cafes, and restaurants. Further down the coast, you will find the Ritz Carlton Hotel for a luxury cocktail or dinner.

There is a local bus that has limited service with a stop just around the corner from Seaside Retreat, however, for the greatest flexibility, Seaside Retreat is best reached by private car. In addition, there are Uber drivers and local tax services available. There is off-street parking available for one vehicle and plenty of street parking as well.

Excellent location & place to stay
The hostess is so responsive. You are welcomed with wine & treats, coffee & cream. The home is 3.5 mile walk to Half Moon Bay & opposite direction 1.5 mile walk to harbor. Great restaurants both areas. I will definitely plan to return here. Very safe area. Hostess provides great resources for restaurants, hiking trails, breweries & winery. Enjoy a stay in this home.

El Granada Gem
An excellent choice for our trip. The unit is roomy, clean and welcoming. Every detail was taken care of to make us comfortable, including treats, lovely linens, separate heat controls for each room, and, my favorite, a beautiful coffee station to wake up to. The owner couldn’t be nicer and we hope to make a return visit one day.

The house was perfect for our group of 4. Mary-Anne suggested fun hikes and restaurants for us to try which helped our planning a lot. We cooked several meals and found everything we needed. Overall it was a great stay.

Clean and homey
This was such a cute place to stay for a girls' weekend! It was just the right amount of space, clean, bright and airy, recently remodeled in the kitchen, well-stocked, a quick drive to many points of interest, and walkable distance to the beach. The host was welcoming and responsive to our needs, quickly reachable by text, and provided suggestions and tips based on what I was looking for. She provided random little things that I asked for, like a white noise machine, a steamer, and suggested places to watch the sunset from. Having double sinks in the bathroom was also really helpful for our group! Note that one of the beds is a little soft so it depends on your preference--one person thought it was very comfortable while another preferred a firmer mattress. Also note that the couch in the living room is now white instead of black like the picture might show, which ties better into the bright and airy aesthetic of the rest of the place. Heads up that the listing still needs to be updated as of August 2024. It now sleeps 4 and the host can provide an air mattress for another.

Wonderful stay!
We spent 4 days visiting the San Francisco area (including San Jose and Santa Cruz). This home was perfectly located so we never drove too far each day. It was recently remodeled and is beautiful in and out. It is walking distance to the beach too! The owner provided recommendations for sightseeing and meals - all were excellent. Highly recommend this place!!!!

A Nice Coastal Respite
My family and I had a wonderful stay at Mary-Anne's place. It was very clean and quite large for a two bedroom VRBO. We cooked in a couple nights and the large kitchen had everything we needed including an amazing full-wood butcher-block island. My kids and I had fun playing ping-pong in the backyard our first morning. This property is close to many things Half-Moon Bay and quick access to the HWY without being so close that you can hear the traffic. We could not hear it at all, which was nice and peaceful. We'll definitely consider coming back for a future coastal vacation!

Great Time in El Granada
We had a great stay. The rooms were clean, the house was well maintained and the owners (Mary-Anne and Brian) were very responsive. If you are looking for a quiet, well kept house, with access to the Bay Area, this is the place. The price point was hundreds less than local area hotels and other rentals. I could not recommend this place more highly!

This is a lovely place just a few minutes walk from the beach and easy access to many things in the area. We loved driving down the coast on Highway 1 and took some amazing pictures. Mary-Anne was very helpful in providing information about the area and responded quickly to all our inquiries. There is also loads of information in the place for you to plan your stay and places to visit. We would definitely stay here again.

Very Nice
Overall we enjoyed our stay. Very spacious apartment, close to amenities. We were expecting a welcome basket with wine and cheese as the advert stated but did not receive it. As others have stated the walls are thin and there is noise from the upstairs and surrounding area, if you’re a light sleeper I wouldn’t recommend it. But the beautiful home and spacious rooms make up for the minor issues. The beds are very cozy.

Great option in HMB
Although a little deep in the neighborhood it is a convenient location. Can walk to beach but no other amenities. Very quiet. Owners are on site but very respectful. Only ran in to them once while they were watering garden. I went with my bff and will be bringing back my husband even though we won't need extra bedroom will still stay there. Very large unit. We were very comfortable. Unit fully equipped.. We cooked the whole time and weren't missing anything.

Great spot 30 min from San Francisco. Clean and roomy. The lockbox for the entrance sticks so we needed the owners help to get in. The hostess was out of town during our stay so we didn’t get the welcome basket or laundry access, but otherwise our stay was pleasant.
