KryziaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had such a lovely stay! The location is unbeatable, right next to the ocean and we got lucky with two full days of sunshine before the marine layer rolled in. Paul was super accommodating and friendly. A special shoutout to his sweet cat, who greeted us every time we pulled into the driveway. Definitely a highlight! Would absolutely stay here again.

DeniseRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Host was responsive to our questions and helpful in providing check in and check out instructions. Our family was in need of a pet friendly place and it was conveniently located close to many great restaurants and walking distance to my sister’s wedding venue. We fell in love with Half Moon Bay during our stay! The loft was perfect for our two girls and the main bedroom had a beautiful view of the harbor. I particularly appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, robes, and extra blankets.

Susanta and his co host were very responsive. The place is a good except for the Balcony was off limits due to some regulatory requirements. place was better than the pictures !! very happy to find all amenities and place exceeded the expectations. Its 20 min from the city center of san francisco. Garage is compact as it won't fit a truck but can fit 2 right size cars !!

SaifRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Honestly, the home is magical. My children and I love being outdoors and this property had a beautiful backyard with a fire pit that made it feel like we were camping. Also, an amazing trail just a block away. The neighborhood reminded us of Hawaii, and the backyard itself was a piece of Eden’s Garden. Loved every aspect of the inside of the home, it was very clean and new. 20/10 experience. Will book again.

PaulRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Staying at the Sea Wolf Bungalow was one of the most special experiences of my life. I had the joy of working with Kim to plan my engagement there, and she made every step seamless, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable. From vendor recommendations to her calming presence, Kim went above and beyond to help create a perfect moment. She welcomed us with such warmth—it felt like staying with family. The bungalow itself is peaceful, beautifully designed, and perfectly nestled in nature. The stunning seaside views, colorful tide pools, and sightings of whales, seals, and other wildlife made every moment feel magical. Kim’s local insight into trails, sights, and hidden gems only added to the experience. The Sea Wolf Bungalow will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and I feel incredibly grateful for the memories made there and for the chance to get to know Kim. Truly the best trip I’ve ever had. Thank you, Kim—for everything.

SoniaRating, 5 starstoday
We absolutely loved our stay at Katia’s house! The home is beautiful, with stunning ocean views, spotless cleanliness, and a warm, comfortable feel enhanced by aesthetically pleasing decor. The beds were perfect, with excellent blankets, linens, and towels, and the showers were fantastic. Every room had its own heater, which was great. The kitchen was both beautiful and well-equipped, with thoughtful treats waiting for us. The location was ideal, and the local information Katia provided helped us make the most of our time out and about. The backyard fire pit looked amazing—unfortunately, we couldn’t use it due to the weather, but we hope to experience it on a future visit! We truly appreciated Katia’s attention to detail, her thoughtfulness, and the care she put into ensuring every need was met. Our stay was incredibly relaxing, enjoyable, and comfortable. We felt lucky to have booked her place, were sad to leave, and would absolutely love to return!
