    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!

    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

    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. The owners have thought of everything, including an enclosed backyard, dog towels and a dog bed.Owners were also very friendly and welcoming!Loved it!

    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!

    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.
