I had no idea that you had to wait until after 3pm to get a code to be able to get into the front door and your room since there was no person at all inside. I called the phone # on the outside board and that person found the code for me since I did not get any info from expedia until much later. There was not a refrigerator to use.

They had a few spots available . I was lucky to get one. All shops were nearby very cool. I never meet any staff members. I called one on the phone. But no front desk, no contact. Unusual but worked out very smoothly

The room was clean and very comfortable. The location is VERY convenient to downtown Half Moon Bay - right in the middle of some stores. Great for walking to restaurants and shopping. It was very quiet while we were there but I don't know about weekend noise. There is no staff on the premises but they did response to our phone calls to resolve a few minor problems. We paid for parking which was nice for coming and going.

The housekeeping staff are super kind, but they are the only staff you'll see if you happen to be there when they are. Owners did not respond to messages when I inquired about alternates for micro fiber sheets (hot and scratchy for me). Neighboring rooms were loud during sleeping hours (quiet time guidelines would be helpful). Overall, great house and location. Loved being in this lovely town and walking to great shopping and eats. Super friendly locals too!

What a great spot in Half Moon Bay. Many thoughtful touches (tea and coffee with a cute sitting area when you walk in), very clean and beds were very comfortable. Beautifully decorated as well. Will be back!
