Ideally situated on a bluff above the Pacific Ocean, Seal Cove Inn is located in Half Moon Bay, just 30 minutes' drive from San Francisco.

Each bright and modern room provides a balcony or a patio at Seal Cove Inn. A gas fireplace, plush leather seating, and a blue-tooth enabled sound system offer comfort and luxury. Locally made toiletries and plush bathrobes are featured in ensuite bathrooms. Free WiFi and a flat-screen TV are also provided.

Lovely building and pleasant garden on walking distance from the wonderful Moss Beach (4 mins on foot through a cypress forest) with a year-round harbour seal colony. Fantastic weekend escape. Staff were welcoming, rooms were large with minimalist furnishing, spotless in every aspect. Small but great breakfast, centred generous helpings of fresh fruit.

Situated 600 metres from El Granada Beach, 1.3 km from Naples Beach and 38 km from University of San Francisco, Beach Villa Home - Walk to Beaches Trails Restaurants Activities & more provides accommodation set in Half Moon Bay. This beachfront property offers access to a balcony, pool at the pool table, free private parking and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is located a few steps from Miramar Beach.

This property was incredible. It met our expectations for a beach house. The views are simply stunning, you can't get any closer to the ocean and it was exactly what we were looking for. Everything worked as described and they have streaming services available which was nice. We ate out while there but picked up wine, snacks, etc. at the local Safeway. I was a little worried because in the pictures the apartment looks very spacious (it really is) and I thought the space would be freezing the entire time, but I was wrong. It was so cozy and warm when we walked in the door. It was like a warm hug, We love this area and visit as often as we can and would consider booking this place again.

    It is impossible for me to overstate how amazing this place is. It is the very definition of a luxury accommodation. They literally thought of everything. The location is perfect. The beds are comfortable. Each room has a TV and it's own temperature control. There is room to spread out and it has one of the best equipped kitchens I have ever seen in a vacation rental.
