Each of our six individually decorated rooms, named after a famous surfing spot in the area, has its own unique style.
~Montara Beach~
South of Devil's Slide, the first major beach break is Montara Beach, which is less than a mile of open beach that faces directly into the Gulf of Alaska and takes a constant hammering from swell, wind, tide, fog and everything else the Pacific Ocean can throw. The good news is the south winds that accompany fog and/or rain in this region blow straight offshore at Montara, so on those summer days when San Francisco's beachbreaks are gray, blown-out and infinitely uninviting, Montara can be smooth and sweet, albeit a bit chilly. During the winter, Montara ranges from deadly to excellent, depending on the bottom contour and swell direction. Many times whales can be seen, perhaps enjoying nature's jacuzzi.
What makes the Montara Guestroom so special…
Located in the quaint village of Princeton-by-the-Sea just minutes north of historic Half Moon Bay, you will find beachcombing, hiking, tidepooling, shopping, kayaking and oceanfront dining all within easy walking distance.
The worst thing about this place was leaving it. My husband took me here for 1 night for my birthday and it was perfect. Peaceful, secluded, exactly what I was looking for. I have a 3 year old and a baby on the way so all I wanted was to relax, read and sleep. When we got there, Allen (the host) greeted us with a bottle of Wine and a box of my favorite chocolates. Since I cant have the wine I asked him for a little more water and he gave us 6 bottles. There was no charge for anything, not even the basket of snacks that came with the room. Yes, I ate all of the snacks too
We sat on the patio and read, read by the fire, took a cat nap, then we got in room massages. The bed was comfy and the sounds of the sea were calming. We are hoping we can get back there ASAP. Its worth every penny too. They don't skimp anywhere.
