Weekend getaway

Enjoyed a nice getaway weekend with our pup. The inside of the house was as advertised, very cute and clean, and the location in town was great, however, the curb appeal and yard definitely needed a lot of love.

Great cozy getaway

Stayed here with 2 of my friends for a cozy girls weekend. We loved it! Such a great location — walking distance from the main street and plenty of parking. Also just a few minutes drive from the beach. We cooked dinner in the fully equipped kitchen and enjoyed the hot tub. Highly recommend!

Charming!

This little house was adorable and just right for two couples. We loved that we could walk to town and you can even walk to the ocean, if you want a long walk. The kitchen was well appointed and we were so happy to find that there is a half bath in addition to the full (we were ready to grin and bear sharing one bath for a long weekend). The TV remote was a little hard to figure out. Overall, very comfortable and cute as can be. And the location cannot be beat!

Nice vacation

Very nice small house very close to downtown Half Moon Bay with multiple beaches nearby for hiking, exploring and braving the cold water. My family made it a base for many excursions, from Monterrey to San Jose, redwood forests and the San Francisco area. All had a great time.

Great Girls Getaway

Had an amazing long weekend girls getaway with my high school besties, whom I've known for over 30 years. The location was quiet but within walking distance to Main Street, clean and comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with all the basics such as salt, pepper, oil and spices for cooking as well as coffee! It was a perfect place to catch up with some of my dearest friends - would definitely recommend and we certainly hope to go back.
