A nice break in our routine

Enjoyed our stay in Half Moon Bay. The cottage is in a great location for shopping, restaurants, and walking. The property is well maintained, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It will be our first choice on our next trip to Half Moon Bay.

Weekend getaway

Enjoyed a nice getaway weekend with our pup. The inside of the house was as advertised, very cute and clean, and the location in town was great, however, the curb appeal and yard definitely needed a lot of love.

Great cozy getaway

Stayed here with 2 of my friends for a cozy girls weekend. We loved it! Such a great location — walking distance from the main street and plenty of parking. Also just a few minutes drive from the beach. We cooked dinner in the fully equipped kitchen and enjoyed the hot tub. Highly recommend!

It was fine. It was clean except some ants on the counter. Also went in hot top only 92 degrees.

We enjoyed our stay - went to some beaches. It was clear blue skies. Our dog enjoyed your back yard. Thank you

Great weekend getaway (Fantastic Location)

The house was so great! It was charming, clean, and spacious enough for our group of 3 (could easily fit 4). Everything was easy from check-in to getting a quick issue resolved. The one little issue we had was addressed and taken care of so fast! All the amenities mentioned on the site were there and even some extra touches like bath robes. The other thing to note is the location, it was walking distance to the main stretch of town (dinner, coffee, etc.) and walking distance to the beach (though we rented bikes and/or drove to the beach). Great location, cute, and extremely comfortable.

This property was in a great location, and was an easy walk to Main Street full of restaurants and shops, and was a quick drive to a lot of local beaches. House was fairly clean (it was a little dusty), and had all the amenities that we needed (the dryer came in handy a few times). The house would be great for 4 guests, but was a little tight with 6 since we had to use the couch as another bed and didn't have much other seating without the couch. Otherwise, this was such a cute little place to stay and enjoy Half Moon Bay!

Fantastic spot to use as a home base for San Fran

We had a ball! Great place to stay super-clean. Bright space with lots of windows. Wonderful location for Half Moon Bay and also to use as a home base for other areas of San Francisco and surrounding cities.

We loved our stay at this little charming home! The house was clean and the amenities were in good condition. A few simple items seemed to be missing from the kitchen, like a cookie sheet or hand towels, but for the most part we were able to easily make do. One nice feature was provided coffee pods. Everything went smoothly except the communication seemed relatively delayed when the internet and tv weren’t working for half of our stay. Despite reaching out numerous times and receiving multiple messages promising to come first thing in the morning, I still had to reach out because they did not come or fix it and they didn’t fix it until our last evening. They were somewhat apologetic but just not very prompt on following through with when they initially said they would fix it which was a bummer for the student that was with us who had planned on connecting to the WiFi and for wanting to watch tv during our stay. Over all we would come again but would just make sure the WiFi was working upon arrival and bring some of your own towels to ensure a seemless stay.

Charming!

This little house was adorable and just right for two couples. We loved that we could walk to town and you can even walk to the ocean, if you want a long walk. The kitchen was well appointed and we were so happy to find that there is a half bath in addition to the full (we were ready to grin and bear sharing one bath for a long weekend). The TV remote was a little hard to figure out. Overall, very comfortable and cute as can be. And the location cannot be beat!
