Super fun and cozy beach cottage!

This was such a lovely stay, near the beach. We loved the feel of the beachy space, indoor and on the back patio. Puppy had a great little fenced in place to play. We were able to cook a couple meals- the hosts were fantastic, responding to unique requests! What a dream. We had a memorable 30 year wedding anniversary here! Highly recommend.

We had a very nice stay. It's a cozy place with a great patio with lovely landscaping. We spent a lot of time out there. It feels very private. The photos of the property are accurate except for a few minor changes (different chair, lamp etc.) The property is close to downtown Half Moon, easy to get to and in a quiet neighborhood. Thank you to our hosts.We would defintely stay again!

A Cottage By The Sea

The cottage was nicely appointed, very private, comfortable, cozy and is dog friendly.It is also centrally located to a number of different beaches (including a dog beach) and wonderful restaurants. The owners have thought of everything, including an enclosed backyard, dog towels and a dog bed.Owners were also very friendly and welcoming!Loved it!

Nice for a short weekend visit

Property was undergoing some construction upon arrival immedietely next to our shared wall of the unit making the first two hours rather unpleasant with loud cutting and banging. Wish the property owner had simply disclosed this as it was an unwelcomed surprise after a long day of travel. Otherwise our stay was fine. Unit has everything you need but the shower is too small and cracked in a few places and the shower head needs to be replaced

A fun little beach house :)

We had an awesome time at this house. Close to main street, beaches, and in a quiet neighborhood. Would definitely recommend to a couple or small family since its a little close quarters.

We booked this stay last minute as a spur of the moment beach trip and we so fortunate this one was available! Coming in, the instructions for everything was very clear and the property was adorable! Great location right off the coast! The owners were amazing as well. Can’t wait to book again!

Spring Stay

Very private; cozy; quiet at night; excellent access to coastal trail and the beach. This was the second time we stayed at this property, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Both the Mediterranean and the Himalayan restaurants we ordered to go dinners from were fantastic. The property manager/host couldn’t have been easier to work with.

Ideal short-term rental

The rental was exactly as advertised, very clean, organized, and perfect for a short term stay. It’s in a wonderful location in HMB, only a short walk to the beautiful coastal path. We had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. Although close to neighbors, we felt like we had enough privacy.

cottage near beach, very nice.

we wanted to be able to spend some time near the ocean. This is a small place but an easy walk to Poplar Beach in Half Moon Bay. A nice, quiet backyard. We enjoyed eating dinner there. A good place for a couple or perhaps a small family. A tiny but excellent shower. I would be happy to rent this place again.

Half Moon Bay stay

Really enjoyed our stay here! A lot of areas to visit. Very dog friendly. Our pups were very comfortable with a nice safe yard for them. Limited seating but we made it work. TV trays might have been nice as there was no where to eat a meal. In better weather the table outside would have been great. Well appointed with everything you need to be comfortable.Fun quirky little studio size unit.
