Simple, home like, clean and welcoming perfect

Wanted to have our small multigenerational fam stay where everybody could relax and be together at the same time. The grandkids sitting on the couch poring over their tide pool books defined the stay. Beautiful all the way around. If we didn't live across the country we would come here often. Thank you for your hospitality and the warm welcome feeling of the whole stay.

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.

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!

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.
