Beautiful place to relax and recharge!

Beautiful small cottage, perfect place to relax and recharge, walking distance to Poplar beach, a beautiful dog friendly beach. I stayed with my 2 little dogs. They really enjoyed the backyard too. Owners replied to my questions right away. I’m planning to go back soon with a couple of friends.

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.

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

Cute Little Cottage Near the Beach

Sweet and comfortable little cottage. Perfect for a couple. Loved the peaceful decor and airy feel. We didn’t use the upstairs loft with just two of us, but it would have worked well if we brought children or grandchildren. Very pet friendly— dog bed, water dish, and dog towels provided. Having a private deck and private fenced yard set it apart from a hotel room. Lovely landscaping. The owners live next door but other than a very pleasant casual conversation when we crossed paths in the driveway, we didn’t see another soul. Would definitely return.

Great space close to ocean and trail

Cozy is an accurate word to describe this cottage. Hosts were very clear in the description that this space is for a small family or couples that are very comfortable with it all being one space. But it was just myself and my husband and we really enjoyed our stay here. There are a few things that would make it more comfortable like a table inside to eat or play games but there really is no room for that. Bed was very comfortable and kitchenette was well stocked. We enjoyed the fact that it is so close to the coastal trail, easily walking distance but great with bikes. The patio area is private and cute. There could be a few improvements but all in all it works. We would definitely return.

Hidden Gem

We live only a little over an hour away but coming to HMB for a weekend feels like a true getaway. We chose this house because it was in a quiet neighborhood and dog friendly. We were not disappointed! The hosts make this spot so special with coastal decor and everything there to make our stay comfortable including a stocked kitchen and plenty of linens. Morning coffee on the private patio was perfect. Parking is easy and a short walk to the beach. Main St is really close - across HWY 1 and just up the road a bit. I really appreciated the small kitchenette. And plenty of beach towels there for our use if we needed them. Our pup was super comfortable and enjoyed sitting on the patio with us. We would absolutely stay here again and will tell our friends.

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!

Cozy & Close to town and Beaches

My first time staying in a VRBO. I stayed two nights so I could explore the beaches. I had so much fun. First, it's in a nice neighborhood where parking was very easy. Separate entry into the cottage. It was very private, quiet and set up really cute. I read all the reviews, and so I brought my own small Keurig and coffee pods. I do this anyway when I travel. There is a sink, a toilet, a shower, also a kitchen area, a small fridge and TV. The one complaint, petty, one ply TP. Don't laugh, you use so much more. Shower head could be made smaller to get better water flow but was not an issue for me. TV was fine with a Roku. I always bring my passwords for Hulu, Netflix and so that was fine. I had some issues with the heat. The remote was really hard for me to figure out. I probably spent more time trying to get it right without wasting energy but I did follow directions with the fan so the heat would stay downstairs. A table would have been nice so I used the end table as my table. It was raining the first day so I could not use the outside table. I had such a relaxing few days and would stay here again. So much fun! Thank you

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.

Best place ever

This was the most cozy and welcoming property that I have stayed at. The hosts were very attentive and responded quickly. My family and I had just came off a 10 day Alaskan cruise, and the host allowed us to drop off our luggage before check in. Everything was tidy and well kept. The property was conveniently located, we would definitely stay here again!

Cozy cottage

Warm and welcoming.. even the path through the gates is pretty. The cabin had everything we needed for our short stay. We appreciated all the little touches that made our stay even nicer. Clean,quiet and comfortable. A nice short walk to the gorgeous Poplar Beach. The only thing we could have used was a grill.. Other than that we were very happy. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very friendly and accommodating. I look forward to next time! Thank you!
