Guests traveled by train from San Francisco and Santa Cruz to visit this amazing place referred to as 'Nye's Reef'. At one time the property boasted a restaurant, hotel, bunk houses, and a tavern. Most of the buildings are still standing. This oceanfront cottage has been visited by many well-known individuals over the years including Jack London and Luther Burbank. A little inspiration!

Best Summer Ever
We stayed at the Sea Glass Cottage for just over a month this summer and it was one of my most memorable summer experiences. The location cannot be beat. Fall asleep and wake up to the ocean right outside your window and enjoy all of your meals with a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean at your feet. An excellent Wifi signal extends all the way to the outdoor seating area so you can work and relax at the same time. Nearby beaches abound and we found multiple dog-friendly beaches nearby (driving distance). The nearby Marine Preserve is fascinating but does limit activity for humans and dogs alike (for good reason - there is a colony of seals and protected marine species who live there!). Walk to the nearby distillery, Seal Cove (also a Marine Preserve) and trailheads that wind through the bluffs overlooking the ocean to Pillar Point. (NOTE: the bridge connecting Moss Beach to these areas was damaged and technically impassable while we were there - many people crossed it anyway).
The cottage itself is incredibly cozy and comfortable. You have everything you need in a small space and, with the Pacific Ocean as your outdoor living room, you don’t feel the need for more. Carol is an exceptional and responsive host. She has thoughtfully decorated and appointed the cottage with beautiful and tasteful furnishings and excellent organization for “tiny living”. The bed is very comfortable and there is plenty of “workspace” if needed. Thank you again! We will definitely be back!

Spring 2023 at Moss Beach
Beautiful cottage at fantastic location. We really enjoyed our time here and didn’t want to leave. Watched many gorgeous sunsets and was fortunate to be here after the wettest winter for a decade which meant our hikes were through colorful fields of spring flowers. Great location to explore the peninsula. We would highly recommend staying here.

Fabulous stay!
Sea Glass Cottage met our needs perfectly. We (two people, two dogs) especially enjoyed the cool weather during Bay Area heat waves, along with the gorgeous ocean views and sounds of crashing waves. Taking a beautiful five mile hike at Pillar Point Bluff right from the cottage was something we loved doing every morning. Many thanks to our wonderful hosts Carol and Jerome!

Awesome View!
We enjoyed our month long stay at Carol & Jerome's cottage! The view was just beautiful! The cottage was cozy & very well equipped. The king bed is SO comfy we slept like babies. Even though the property is shared by 2 other families it still felt very private & was very quiet. Moss Beach is a very friendly small town which we loved! We would definitely recommend Sea Glass Cottage to anyone & have put it on our list to visit again if Carol & Jerome will have us.

Carol and her husband Jerome are warm and welcoming hosts, and very responsive to requests. Sunsets, moonsets, stars, tide pools, waves and breeze and sun and coastal flowers.
