Our Half Moon Bay stay was just what we had hoped and this cottage helped make it just right. Very clean with everything we needed and a very easy walk to town or down to the ocean.
The house was so cute and comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit very much! This property is so close to Main St it was great to walk into town many times during our stay.
The cottage was so cozy and charming, especially since we were there during an atmospheric river. The furnishings have an old world feel and it is perfectly located a few blocks from downtown.
We really enjoyed our stay. The place was very clean and well decorated. We had everything we needed except ice. I would definitely book this place again.
The house was clean, well decorated and comfortable. It is very close to all the shops and restaurants, as well as close to beaches and trails! We had a lovely time.
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.
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.
We felt very much at home. The house is clean and well-furnished. It was great to be within walking distance of the shops and restaurants on Main Street in Half Moon Bay. We would stay here again!
Everything was terrific. Cottage was well appointed with everything one needs for a restful pleasant stay. Owner was communicative and accommodating. Lovely stay!
Great cottage on a quiet street a block from town center
Cool place. Everything as advertised. It was a 3 minute walk from the cottage to the little Main Street area with restaurants etc. Cottage itself was very clean and quiet.
My sister and I had a wonderful time in Half Moon Bay. The home was spotless, everything you would need in the kitchen to cook a meal and the beds were super comfy.The host was super attentive and responded very quickly.
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!
Our close group of girlfriends had a weekend of connecting and relaxing at the cottage. We enjoyed cooking, eating, soaking in the hot tub, and chatting around the fire. We had a wonderful time!
The house is lovely. Fenced in back yard for a pup. Very clean and well designed.
You can walk to downtown but it is quiet when you are in the house.
Will go back!
