Beach Cottage Near the Coastal Trail and the Ritz

At the edge of open spaces and coastal trails, fall asleep with the sound of frogs, owls, and waves. Five minute walk to the Popla Beach and only a mile away from downtown and Main Street. Perfect property to let your dog run around

Great Property

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Beach Cottage. It was conveniently located in Half Moon Bay, and the property was clean, quiet and well equipped. Our dogs also enjoyed the fully fenced in yard. We would highly recommend staying at this property.

Charming cottage in relaxing location

My adult children and I and my small dog really enjoyed our stay. The cottage is clean, cozy and well-appointed, with ocean walks just down the street. Easy access. Beds were comfortable, even the twin.

Absolutely perfect! We stayed at the “Purple House” for 3 nights, and it was wonderful. Our group consisted of my husband, myself, our 3 year old daughter, my parents and our fur babies. We were all very comfortable and got to enjoy some quality family time. The house is even better in person! It is decorated with some of the neatest decor, I walked around for about 30 minutes just taking it all in. The beds are so comfortable and the rooms, very spacious. Our daughter loved her little bedroom off of the living room, and enjoyed “chilling” in there after a day at the beach. The home is well stocked with everything you may need to cook your meals in, and is very clean. The owners made check in/out a breeze, and let us know that we could reach out should we have needed anything. I truly cannot wait to return, it was just absolutely perfect!

A charming cottage

My family and I had the best time in this beautiful house. There's a lovely garden outside and everything was as advertised. The nearby walking/biking trails and beach, as well as downtown, made our vacation super fun for the kids.

Wonderful peaceful retreat

I was looking for a quiet space for me to study and I found it here! This house is beautiful, the space is luminous, very quiet neighborhood and you can’t beat the location being steps away from the coastal trail. Would come back without hesitation ! The hosts were very kind and readily available for questions. Can only recommend it!

Perfect

This was the perfect place for us. We could walk or ride our bikes to the beach and it was only a short drive into town. It was a very clean and comfortable house and the fenced in yard was perfect for our little dog. I would definitely rent this house again. Thank you!

Spacious and Beautiful

My friends and I were in town for a wedding, and this house provided a special place for us to spend time together over a weekend. The house and yard were spacious enough to accommodate 5 adults and a dog. Tidy, replete with amenities, and minutes away from the wedding venue, downtown Half Moon Bay, and the beach. We had a wonderful time.

Cozy even in a storm

We arrived in HMB in the middle of a horrendous storm to such a warm and cozy home. We were so appreciative that the owners had started the fireplace for us. I had to call to get instructions on how to start the fireplace (embarrassingly easy) and the owners were lovely. I loved this charming home. It is in a great location for walking along the coast and easy access to the heart of HMB.

Great Location

I was in the area to get together with a bunch of friends, and spend a lot of outdoor time with my dog. The house was really clean, nice set up, and the outside area was great. Communication with the owners was great. The neighborhood is really quiet and walking distance to the Wavecrest trails and just a short drive into town. Amazing location and very quiet. The loudest sounds were the resident birds who sang all day long. Will definitely use this property again.
