Clean & cozy, felt like home immediately. Chefs kitchen was well outfitted. The whales and other marine life were quite active making the back yard the main hangout space. Hosts were attentive and great communicators during our stay with pointers on local restaurants and things nearby to do. It was an excellent place to unplug and recover. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic Time in Pacifica!

We had the most amazing stay at this property; everything we needed was provided and you just can't beat the views and sounds of the ocean. We had all kinds of plans while we were in the area but some of our most cherished memories are of just being at the property, playing games, and relaxing.

Had a wonderful stay- mesmerized by whales, dolphins, sea lions. Kitchen is fantastic, fully stocked , master bedroom very comfortable. We caught very warm weather, could never find a fan. Only other recommendation would be to consider more comfortable deck furniture. Hope to return very soon.

Another perfect stay

This was our second stay at this amazing property and we were no less impressed than we were the first time (a mere ten months ago!) As always, Cathy's communication was helpful and prompt and the kitchen and associated supplies are above and far beyond other properties at which we've stayed in the past. The sound of the waves and ease of access to San Francisco makes a stay here absolute perfection.

This house is so incredible! The view, the interior, the kitchen…don’t hesitate to stay here! Pacifica is a cute beach town and it’s so close to SF. It’s a great location for checking out lots of beautiful local beaches, going into the city and even heading north to see some redwoods. Staying here was a highlight of our trip.

I don't think there are enough wonderful things to say about both the home and our overall experience! First, YES, it is right on the water. Absolutely incredible!!!!! The home is more than beautiful. In fact, I believe that it might be one of the most thoughtfully designed houses we have ever had the pleasure to rent. Not a single bit of wasted space. So easy to navigate--beautifully stocked--impeccably clean. It is so spacious feeling and comfortable. The design made it feel far larger than it actually was. From watching tv in the main room on the comfy couch to cooking meals in the beautifully organized kitchen to simply sitting on the deck watching the mighty ocean--everything was perfect! Check in a breeze--beds comfy--perfection! I want to note that we had business in San Francisco every day, and it was a super convenient location for getting to and from quickly. Without question we will be back! Bravo Cathy!

Loved our Stay in Pacifica!!

We were most pleased with our stay at Ocean-Front Home. The house is clean, our stay was comfortable, the Pacific Ocean is literally the backyard, and the city is in close proximity. The kitchen and house are well stocked with most everything anyone could need for a “Home Away from Home”. Tom and Cathy are the ABSOLUTE best hosts. If we return to Pacifica/SF, we will definitely choose this property again if available. We highly recommend Ocean-Front Home!
