This was an amazing cottage

This was a beautifully tranquil cottage with all the staples of home. Incredibly peaceful and was exactly what we needed. A peaceful retreat from the chaos of the city.

The Perfect Getaway location

The owners, Phil and Wendy, were fabulous and the perfect compliment to the gorgeous view. Everything was so comfortable and serene. It was the perfect escape from city living and just what I needed. This was my first time staying in Half Moon Bay and I would highly recommend this experience and location.

Quiet, relaxing comfort in a cozy space

This lovely, cozy space has all we needed to make us comfortable. The outdoor shared space with its plentiful deck area gave access to the outdoors yet in the privacy of the property. A lovely stay. We would return.

This property was very nice. It was way up in the hills of El Granada. Right outside the door was a nice area to lay in the sun or view the ocean. If you have trouble with stairs, this would probably not be the best place to stay since there were quite a few.

Beautiful studio

We loved the property, very quiet and private. Great view, super clean, pretty tile floors, sweet table on the deck. Only one thing could improve it-- it's a bit tight for two suitcases, which fill all the horizontal surfaces. Maybe a small end table for the sofa?

Beautiful property

We loved the view from the backyard overlooking the harbor. The gardens were on multiple levels and unique and beautiful. Loved the decor in our room and the handcrafted woodwork. Piping hot espresso in the morning, and we used the microwave to cook our breakfast in the morning. A toaster would've been great, and there was a hot plate, but we couldn't figure it out as there was an error code. We didn't really need it though. My favorite spot was the countertop outside the room where I enjoyed the view and sun with a glass of wine. The property was very quiet and the neighbors we saw were very friendly.

Nice Place With a Great View

We enjoyed our stay here. There’s a great view of the ocean and they have a really nice studio with a nice backyard. The hosts were very easy to work with as well. They ask you to run the fan if using the shower and there’s a slight musty smell so I don’t think everyone has followed this. Overall I would return and would recommend to others too.

What a beautiful and charming little cottage! Views from the deck were spectacular! Bed was amazing and comfy, and all you could need for a getaway weekend. Near some amazing hikes, and coastal experiences that was so perfect weather-wise. Will definitely consider coming back!

This studio is so cute and nice! You can tell it’s been recently renovated and all the tile and woodwork is lovely. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was nice. The view from the deck is incredible. Overall our stay was very comfortable and I would recommend this to anyone! You do need to have a car though, it’s not exactly walkable down to town. But parking was easy on the street, and it’s only 5 minutes to get down to the marina area.

Double booking

There was a mistake within VRBO—not this property owners fault. We were booked for two different properties in the same town—on the same days. When we alerted this property owner that we would be staying at the other property and wanted to negotiate with him for partial refund—there was no response. We would have appreciated getting the cleaning fee back since there was nothing to clean from our non-stay. We completely understand it was not the property owners fault—but that of VRBO—but not answering our messages and not refunding the expensive cleaning fee was not right. Having said that—BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY WITH BEAUTIFUL VIEWS.

About the host

Hosted by Phil Ruffier

We raised our family in this home and now that they have grown and moved away we have a lot of unused space. We decided to dedicate a studio space for hosting travelers from near and far. You are going to love all the amenities.

Why they chose this property

We are centrally located for trailers looking to explore from the wine country to Big Sir. We have spent over 30 years tending to our ever changing landscape you may not want to go anywhere once you get here. You will enjoy Direct Ocean View of Pillar Point Harbor and Maverick world class BIG wave surf spot. The space is very private with fence yard will see myself or wife maybe in Garden.

What makes this property unique

If you want a romantic get away this is the perfect spot. We have romantic lighting and gas lamps for evening spent in the garden or dining outdoors. Very Private from Main house. The room has fireclay tile throughout and kept sparkling clean.
