It is an ideal space for al fresco dining, sunset cocktails, and stargazing along the San Mateo Coast. The surrounding mature eucalyptus trees add natural beauty and privacy. As with any property surrounded by mature trees, leaf fall is part of the natural environment, particularly on windy coastal days. Our team maintains the deck regularly, and we appreciate your understanding of this coastal setting. LOCATION El Granada sits at the northern edge of the Half Moon Bay coastline, offering quick access to Mavericks Beach, one of the world's most famous big wave surf breaks - just 5 minutes away.

IDEAL FOR Weekend escapes from San Francisco and Silicon Valley. Couples retreats and family gatherings. Coastal hiking and outdoor adventure. Whale watching, surfing, and tide pool exploration at Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. Please note - Our property features stunning, mature eucalyptus trees that adds beauty, shade, and character to the outdoor space. As part of nature's charm, the tree does shed leaves regularly—especially on windy days. While our gardener maintains the area and blows leaves frequently, it’s normal to see leaves on the deck before or during your stay. Thank you for understanding that this is part of the natural environment, and we hope you enjoy the peaceful, tree-filled setting as much as we do! Coastal Microclimate El Granada is part of a beautiful coastal community that enjoys a refreshing ocean breeze and a relaxed seaside atmosphere. Thanks to our unique microclimate, the weather here can shift throughout the day—often starting with cool, misty mornings that give way to sunny, mild afternoons. It’s part of the charm of being so close to the ocean! We recommend packing a few light layers so you can stay comfortable while enjoying everything this stunning coastal location has to offer. ★☆ PARKING ☆★ 2 parking spots in driveway Free street parking No parking in the garage ★☆ NEARBY ATTRACTIONS, LANDMARKS & RESTAURANTS ☆★ La Costanera (Peruvian Food) - 6 min drive Moss Beach Distillery - 10 min drive Half Moon Bay Brewing Company - 6 min drive Miramar Beach Restaurant - 5 min drive Sam's Chowder House - 5 min drive Barbara's Fishtrap - 5 min drive The Conservatory - 17 min drive Pasta Moon - 13 min drive The Press - 5 min drive Caffè Mezzanine Luna - 6 min drive J V Fitzgerald Marine Reserve - 10 min drive Seal Cove Cypress Tree Tunnel - 10 min drive Half Moon Bay State Beach - 14 min drive San Francisco - 41 min drive Devil's Slide Trail - 18 min drive Mavericks Beach - 5 min drive Poplar Beach - 18 min drive Gray Whale Cove State Beach - 7 min drive Miramar Beach - 5 min drive Venice Beach - 10 min drive Montara State Beach - 5 min drive Dunes Beach - 10 min drive ★☆ HOUSE RULES ☆★ No smoking No pets allowed.
