    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.

    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.

    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!

    A fun little beach house :)

    We had an awesome time at this house. Close to main street, beaches, and in a quiet neighborhood. Would definitely recommend to a couple or small family since its a little close quarters.

    Weekend Beach Stay

    We booked this stay last minute as a spur of the moment beach trip and we so fortunate this one was available! Coming in, the instructions for everything was very clear and the property was adorable! Great location right off the coast! The owners were amazing as well. Can’t wait to book again!

    Spring Stay

    Very private; cozy; quiet at night; excellent access to coastal trail and the beach. This was the second time we stayed at this property, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Both the Mediterranean and the Himalayan restaurants we ordered to go dinners from were fantastic. The property manager/host couldn’t have been easier to work with.

    cottage near beach, very nice.

    we wanted to be able to spend some time near the ocean. This is a small place but an easy walk to Poplar Beach in Half Moon Bay. A nice, quiet backyard. We enjoyed eating dinner there. A good place for a couple or perhaps a small family. A tiny but excellent shower. I would be happy to rent this place again.

    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.

    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

    Ideal short-term rental

    The rental was exactly as advertised, very clean, organized, and perfect for a short term stay. It’s in a wonderful location in HMB, only a short walk to the beautiful coastal path. We had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. Although close to neighbors, we felt like we had enough privacy.

    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!
