First, we loved the location for our one night rental. Walk out the front door and you are on beach trails. Town was just a couple minutes away.House was very cozy and well appointed - nothing fancy as you’d hope for in a pet friendly beach rental.I would stay again and recommend with confidence.

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.

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.

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!
