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.

This is a gem in Half Moon Bay! We were centrally located for trips along the coast, while being near restaurants, cafes and homemade gelato! It was a short walk down to the beach for sunsets. The home was very comfortable, clean, and had a huge walk-in shower! The kitchen was very well appointed, check-in/check-out directions were easy to follow, and the beds were very comfortable. We loved all of the natural light, and privacy in the home.

Better than most 5 star hotel suites at a fraction of the cost. In a nice neighborhood, 2 blocks from the beach and close to downtown, it was quiet, clean, had modern appliances, and a very nice shower for 2 (no tub). Would definitely stay again.

What a charming secret hideaway that is walking distance to the beach and downtown HMB! This place is perfect for a small family or couple to spend a little time in HMB. The host was wonderful and attentive when I emailed her with some questions. This kitchen and unit is light and bright and decorated to bring a little of the "funky" out in all of us. The beds were perfect and not "saggy" or too soft. I with the upstairs had a 1/2 batch but that certainly didn't take away from the overall comfort of the unit. We'd definitely stay again.

Cozy retreat

The home was cozy and our family of 4 had plenty of space to stretch out and get privacy. The home is beautifully decorated and very clean. The garden is endearing and well maintained. We highly recommend this property.

Our wonderful hosts Michelle and Pete have created a beautiful, peaceful, welcoming home away from home!It is absolutely gorgeous and everything we needed was supplied- from kitchen to bathroom to bedroom amenities, explicit directions for working the electronics, to suggestions for restaurants and things to do- it was all there. If we could give it 100 stars we would! Thank you Michelle and Pete, we can’t wait to come back!
