About this property

Welcome to The Oceanfront Beach Villa

If one were to seek a place that truly embraces the essence of a beach getaway, The Oceanfront Beach Villa stands out as the quintessence of comfort and charm. Nestled at 211 Mirada Rd, Half Moon Bay, CA, this gem has garnered an impressive rating of 4.6 from guests, a testament to its allure and the unforgettable experiences it offers.

Upon entering the villa, a guest is instantly enveloped in the soothing sounds of the ocean waves, inviting them to unwind and embrace relaxation. As Fred Bremerman eloquently described, “The first thing that strikes you is your upstairs, you open the balcony door, and you hear the ocean coming into your room.” While some rooms may show their age, the true value lies in the experience—where hospitality meets breathtaking views, all at a surprisingly approachable price.

The Oceanfront Beach Villa is more than just a place to stay; it feels like coming home. As Edith fondly notes, “Ann is an absolute sweetheart, but most of all an amazing host.” Her efforts to create a warm, welcoming environment truly resonate with guests. Morning breakfasts are made memorable with an array of delightful options, perfect for fueling a day of exploration along Half Moon Bay.

For those with furry companions, the villa's pet-friendly policy is an added bonus, allowing guests to indulge in beachside strolls with their dogs. Cory Morley captures this sentiment perfectly, stating, “Felt more like we were staying with family.” Add to this the charm of cozy fireplaces and heated floors, and you have an inviting atmosphere that encourages guests to relax and enjoy every moment.

Location plays a key role in the villa's appeal. Positioned conveniently near Half Moon Bay State Beach and Mavericks Beach, it offers plenty of opportunities for adventure, whether it’s basking in the sun or experiencing the thrill of surfing. After a day of exploration, returning to the villa’s honor-system snack offerings and tranquil evenings is a delightful treat.

With all these appealing features, it’s no wonder Johnny Grace regards it as the “best place to stay near the beach by a long shot.” The rooms are praised for their excellent views and peaceful ambiance, offering a perfect sanctuary for restful nights filled with the gentle lullaby of crashing waves.

Ultimately, The Oceanfront Beach Villa embodies a perfect blend of warmth, comfort, and breathtaking coastal beauty. Whether it’s a romantic getaway or a family retreat, this villa promises an unforgettable beach experience, making it an ideal destination for anyone seeking a slice of paradise.

The first thing that strikes you is your upstairs, you open the balcony door, and you hear the ocean coming into your room. This is awesome! It’s true the rooms are older and dated. But the value is beyond. If you need to be pampered and have a new amenities, the Ritz Carlton is off the way for 1500 bucks a night, but here for 350 you get the experience of a lifetime.

Ann is an absolute sweetheart, but most of all an amazing host. It’s almost like you live there haha, she definitely makes you feel like home. Amazing breakfast, drinks and snacks. The room was perfect and the perfect view of the Ocean. Dog friendly beach below and a tasteful restaurant next to it. Definitely will be returning on our next trip.

This was a super cute hotel. Felt more like we were staying with family. Wines and snacks were offered in the evening. Coffee and an assortment of breakfast was offered in the morning. Dog friendly, walking distance to a dog friendly restaurant and beach. Perfect oceanfront rooms! We had our window open all night! Cute fireplace, and radiant heated floors! Wonderful jetted tub! My one and only complaint is the bed. My Moms bed wasn't as bad as ours. Ours was sunken in. Please upgrade the beds!! That's my only reason for 4 stars! We will still be back, because the owner was so accommodating and wonderful! Thank you for an amazing stay!

Best place to stay near the beach by a long shot. The rooms were great and have the best views. We opened the windows and fell asleep to the sound of waves crashing in the background. Amazing.

This property is an absolute jewel….right on the beach. Love my room with a balcony facing the ocean which was very clean and spacious. Ann the owner has put alot of thought into making it a fun place to be. The main check in area is great for meeting people in socializing and there are many snack choices with everything being on the honor system. Wine, snacks and a beautiful breakfast selection every morning. We even got to have a bonfire one evening! Very special. Thank you Ann for going out of your way to make our stay a memorable one. I will be back!!!

Made reservations n we get here n the entrance is in the back. Plus parking. Not a lot of people were staying here. So it seemed like cause all u could hear were the ocean waves. So we wait at the desk that’s on the second floor. Lobby is on second floor. No one showed up at the desk so I call n went to voicemail. After 20minutes we seen our last name with a welcome note with our key. The note had a name of the room not a number. This was a neat experience. The room was as described plus our room was in the corner front view from all our windows. It really was a dream. I did have a problem with the jet system on the hot tub. No plate to guide me through how it turns on or off. No response. It finally just shut off after pushing these tiny buttons with a pin. Our towelette wouldn’t flush in our last day there. They do offer breakfast n it is breads, English muffins or bagel. U have cheese n butter n a toaster. Fruits n stuff. For what we pain for our 2 night get away, I was hoping for fresh hot waffles n sausage beacon eggs plus what the already offered. If that then I would have given another star. They did have a few different choices of wine for only a tip. So that was great. Place next door has the best broils oysters. U will spend at least $100 for dinner for 2. They messed up my order n had to wait while my husband ate of course. Food is ok. Not so hot for the price they charge. Staff are great n good service. But the Ocean Front was cozy n the little things made it more worth it. Like the have wine glasses u can take to your room n use. No microwave in room. Ugh. Great stay but I paid to much for what they had to offer. A Airbnb would cost the same n your get all privacy use of everything. I do love my stay here. I wish I owed it. It’s beautiful.
