Cottage was perfect just as described. Check in was clear, room was clean, bed was very comfortable, and stocked with everything we needed. Very short drive to beaches and restaurants, we didn’t get a chance to walk to the beach but seemed very close to walk. Overall a great place to stay.

Great place, clean and comfortable. My favorite part was the hiking trails just around the corner and the cursing bikes. For the price it’s a great place to hangout.

We sure enjoyed our stay. The studio was well decorated, and the patio area in front was delightful. There was a park near by and some wonderful places to walk. The hosts were very helpful, with check-in and making sure that any questions we had were answered.

Gorgeous stay in Half-Moon Bay

The house was amazing and beautifully decorated! The king size bed and big tv was great for relaxing after a long day of hiking. The patio outside was a perfect place to drink coffee in the morning and receive a warm hello from hula waiting for you to come through the gate for belly rubs. The location was perfect, near the park and beach and the pump track was awesome! Having a full kitchen on the property was super convenient. All around one of the best stays!!

This quaint little guest suite was perfect, located in a cute neighborhood of El Granada on Half Moon Bay. Guest parking was easy & clearky marked. The steps leading to the entry were beautifully landscaped, and the interior was just as shown in the photos and very clean. Super comfy bed with great pillows!Easy access to watch surfers at Maverick Beach, take a hike out to Pillar Point Beach, or to drive to downtown Half Moon Bay which has a relaxed feel with some interesting shops & places to eat.The host, Melanie, was super responsive when the smart TV didn't connect to the internet on our first night-- the router was reconnected within 10 minutes.We'd stay here again!

A perfect location for quiet relaxation

Beautifully furnished, without the kitsch many places clutter your lodgings with. Makes for a relaxing and serene stay. A quiet location with the added bonus of a nearby park and trails into the trees. Some Bay Area friends came by to surprise my husband for his birthday. They too were impressed, and said they would love to come over & stay even tho they live only half an hour away. Mahalo!

Great location. Quiet and private. Had to call property manager to get street address of property, which was not included in check-in instructions. Rest of check in and check out instructions were clear.Kitchen was excellent, with everything we needed. Bed was a little soft for us, linens were nice. Bathroom could use a new shower head. We enjoyed staying here.

This studio apartment was very quaint, quiet, and relaxing. Location is perfect, right across the street from a park with a hiking path. The apartment had all that we needed, a most comfortable bed, full kitchen, nice front patio. The smart TV was easy to sign on to for our movie channel and has good sound. The place was very serene with a waterfall and eco-themed garden full of succulents. We had a great time and recommend for a couples weekend or more. Half Moon Bay/El Granada is a great escape for a slower pace, great seafood, and friendly atmosphere.

Cozy Cottage on the Coast

Coastal Zen Cottage ... what a find!!! Great location, beautiful property! Private outdoor space was nice. The inside, WoW! Full kitchen with enough cookware to prepare most things easily if you want to eat in. Table for meals and/or games. Bed is comfortable and bathroom is spacious with a large shower and vanity with storage. Comfy couch and fire t.v. for relaxing after a day out. Bonus right outside the door is Quarry Park. Beautiful trails with plenty of views!!! Finally, the hosts are great and very responsive!
