Beautiful Montara Beach Home

Affectionately known as the Mermaid Shack, this is our lovely personal home. Just blocks from spectacular Montara beach, enjoy the view of ocean and hills from the bright window-filled kitchen, living area with workspace and wrap-around deck. The tranquil bedroom with queen bed has sliding doors opening onto a peaceful fenced yard. The bathroom features a skylight, shower, and tub. The home is filled with plants and unique art. One bedroom of this house is a separate listing (see Guest Access). The space This is our personal home, listed as an Airbnb only when we are traveling. As such, it contains many plants, art from around the world, and our own kitchen dishes and tools. Because this is not a dedicated vacation rental, the space has a feeling of home. The living area is defined by the many windows and the workspace includes a standup desk that you can turn towards the coast for an ocean view. The bedroom is tranquil with sliding doors looking out onto a beautiful tree in a green and peaceful back yard. Montara is a beautiful and quiet community, and the house is within easy walking distance to the beach, trails, and a café and restaurant.
