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. ##### Debran Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melissa F. 2 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy and Comfortable Charming, cozy and comfortable little cottage perfect for a relaxing weekend getaway for 2.

The king size bed and big tv was great for relaxing after a long day of hiking.

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!! ##### alexa h.
