Welcome to this two story home located right on Miramar Beach, steps away from the beach and with magnificent 180 degree views of the Pacific Ocean, Pillar Point and the Princeton Harbor. The home is also steps away from the Miramar Beach Restaurant as well as being located on Mirada Road, which is part of the Coastside trail leading as far north as the harbor and all the way south into the charming town of Half Moon Bay. Detour onto HWY 1. Miramar Beach is a destination spot for travelers all over the bay area.

Ideal renters are a large family or up to 6 adults and 2 additional children. Minimum age is 25 years old to rent. No pets and no smoking.

The home is a beach front getaway with 2 levels and a reverse floor plan in which the living area, dining area and kitchen are located on the second floor with an upper level deck all with stunning views, and the bedrooms are on the ground or first floor. The home has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the first floor. One is a master suite with its own entrance, bathroom, and walk-in closet. The two other bedrooms are located just down the hall with a separate floor-heated bathroom just across from them. There are brand new flat screen TVs with cable in the master bedroom, the bedroom at the far end of the hall (Yellow Room) and upstairs in the entertainment area. The middle bedroom (Bird Room) does not have a TV. All bedrooms have lots of storage including dressers and closets.

A staircase from the bottom bedroom level leads up to a large open floor living space which includes a newly remodeled kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a dining area and an entertainment area. Enjoy the spectacular views from anywhere upstairs. Additionally there are two smaller room/areas leading to the deck. One can be used as a nice cozy spot to sit and read, work on your computer (internet included) or just take in the view. The other room is an enclosed patio with a large wooden bar built in the 1950s and for kicking back with a drink in your bathing suit, weather permitting. Both of these room/areas have sliding glass doors to the deck that lead directly downstairs to the oceanfront road. The deck is a great place to catch some rays, whale watch or enjoy one of our stunning California coastal sunsets. There is plenty of parking and you also have one covered carport area for a vehicle as well.

The home is located on the north side of a world renowned jazz club established in 1964, an Event Center. We do not rent the home when other events are occurring so rest assured that you will have privacy and quiet. There is also a cottage on the property where the caretaker resides. If you see a Sunday that is marked unavailable and you are interested in attending a music concert and including a Sunday night with your vacation, contact us to discuss options.

We will consider Events such as small weddings but there is an additional fee for this and must be arranged by contacting the property manager. An event can be held in the home or in connection with the Event Center which is also at the Douglas Beach House. See www.thedouglasbeachhouse.com

Grocery stores & markets: In Half Moon Bay there is New Leaf & Safeway. In El Granada there is Spangler's Market.

There is plenty to do in the coastal area. The Princeton Harbor is just a 5 minute drive north where you can walk the pier, shop, dine (Ketch Joanne, Barbara’s Fishtrap, and Mezza Luna (Zagat Rated), Half Moon Bay Brewery, Old Princeton Landing Public House & Grill, Breakwater Barbecue, Sam's Chowder House) kayak, surf, take charter fishing and whale watching trips and partake in local nightlife. There is walking/biking along the Coastside Trail that runs right in front of our home. The Fitzgerald Marine Reserve is a 10 minute drive north in Moss Beach. There is plenty of hiking including at Pillar Point where the famous Mavericks surf competition is held and Montara Mountain which has sweeping 360 degree views of the bay area and is about a 15 mile drive north....in addition to hiking the beach!

The charming town of Half Moon Bay is just a 10 minute coastal drive south with unique shopping and dining (Pasta Moon, The Barn, Cantina at San Benito House, Dad's Luncheonette). There is golf at one of the two world famous Ocean Colony Golf Courses and a driving range at Ocean View Driving Range. As mentioned above, the home is attached to a jazz venue called the Bach Dancing & Dynamite which hosts world class jazz on Sundays.

This home is just 30 minutes from San Francisco and the SF Airport. Therefore within minutes you can be in the world class restaurants, museums, shopping, Broadway shows, and music venues. The San Francisco Zoo is only 35 minutes away.
One can also head South and be at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk in an hour or inland to Silicon Valley to visit the Tech Museum or 1.5 hours to Monterey and the famous Monterey Aquarium.

We truly look forward to hosting you at our beautiful home and ideal location, right on the Beach!

    Upstairs deck had a grear view of the ocean. Pelicans diving whales spouting. Downstirs bedrooms were functional and comfortable. The only downside was no bathroom on the upperliving level. Would stay again

    Very easy access to the beach, and a quiet, quaint neighborhood. Good for 'staying in' and good for some outings too. I wish I were close enough to attend one of the live Jazz nights, though. That would be great fun. I think this is our third stay in the 3-bedroom, and we've stayed twice in the 2-bedroom unit. This is one of our favorite place in the summer.

    Construction is a bit organic, but that’s because of the fascinating history. The view, smell of the sea, sound of crashing surf, the unexpected 12 pack, and bottle of wine, made it worthy of going back. With all the great jazz CDs available, I just wish I could have gotten the stereo to work! Glad the wireless had good throughput.

    It was everything that was promised. The beautiful views, the ocean breezes, and being close to everything that we wanted to do, on the coast, in the city or on the peninsula. We loved the it had everything we needed for our stay. Two thumbs up and 10 out of 10 for sure!!!

    Amazing views and ocean access. We watched surfers and sea lions playing in the surf every day. (or seals maybe? we couldn't get close enough to see their ears or fins) The Miramar restaurant is just 2 blocks away so we could get meals without having to drive. Short drive to other restaurants or downtown Half Moon Bay. Large kitchen with everything we needed. The living area was broken into 3 different seating groupings--so it made it easy for people to have as much or as little space as they needed. It is larger than it looks in the photos. The space is perfect for a family or group of friends. The one thing less than perfect is that the primary bedroom has a deep tub/shower that is difficult for older people to get in and out of. It was a little weird that there were several small 2-seater tables in a couple of places. (The space is sometimes used for events and we assumed those tables were for cocktail hour.) But we just laughed and called them computer workstations. Overall excellent. We'd love to come back again.
