Top Elmar Beach Hotel Reviews

Cypress Inn On Miramar Beach

10/10 Excellent

"All around fantastic stay. Staff was very friendly, the room had a beautiful view of the ocean and breakfast delivered to your room was fabulous as well as delicious. Will definitely stay here again!!"

Modern Coastal Retreat, Walk to Downtown HMB & Beach

10/10 Excellent

"This property was amazing. The hosts were so prompt in getting us any information needed before arrival and during our stay. Wonderful hosts. The house is so we clean and so beachy and homey. We can’t wait to come back. The location is absolutely perfect. We were able to walk to the beach often and also to Main Street for shopping and meals. We don’t want to stay anywhere else. Can’t wait to come back."

Half Moon Bay Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Comfy beds, multiple comfy pillows. Nice firepit, pool, hot tub. Delicious breakfast"

Montara Penthouse — Elevated Comfort Above Downtown Half Moon Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautiful and very clean. The windows made it very bright and open. At night however the moonlight kept it bright making it a little difficult to sleep. Thank you for the two fans they were critical as there was no AC and it would get hot and a muggy in the room. We would air out the place when would return as it did not take long to heat up. The soaking tub was amazing. We both were able to sit in it together. A recommendation would be to add some dimmer switches in both bathroom areas. Then we can dim the lights either at the two sinks or when soaking in the tub. Set some mood lighting or not blind myself when brushing my teeth. 😀 The windows by the bed were difficult to open and close, so you may want to check those out. It is a good location, greatly appreciated the parking space. Although, people tended to ignore the sign and park tgere anyway. The restaurants near the room were fantastic. You cannot go wrong there. The Mediterranean cuisine, the deli, Chinese food to the breakfast options all tasted delicious. For two people the prices were easily over $70+ a meal, but we are on vacation. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would recommend this location to anyone."

"The location is great. Nice little place for a beach getaway. The host responds quickly. If I had any suggestions, I'd make a few modern upgrades."

Seaside Home: Modern Retreat with Breathtaking Views and Beachside Charm

8/10 Good

"Satisfied although I would suggest cleaning the dining room chair seats. They were stained and a steam cleaning would make them more presentable also it appears the shampoo in the master bedroom on the first floor was mixed up with the conditioner, the outdoor couch on the deck was broken under the cushion unable to use to sit on. Overall, it was beautiful house and the stay was enjoyable. Lovely and convenient area"

"Excellent location and very comfortable beds!"

"Great location and great property for our group!!"

Miramar Penthouse – Coastal Elegance in the Heart of Half Moon Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We happened to be there on a warm weekend (rare in Half Moon Bay), and air conditioning would have made it more comfortable. However, on the second night, we found better spots for the portable fans and made it much more comfortable. Additionally, it is not a fully equipped kitchen; there is one hot plate and no oven. Overall, it was a GREAT location and perfect for my furry babies, and we all had a wonderful time."
