This lil cottage is perfectly located for walking distance to Main St HMB. Super dog friendly. We had no problem finding a restaurant that welcomed our dog. The upgrades inside, the bed comfort and wonderful linens were a pleasant surprise. Jacuzzi clean and ready for relaxation. Host always provided a quick response. My husband and I both enjoyed the comfort and all the streaming apps for late night viewing after a day of walking, shopping and enjoying the friendly folks who live here.

This house was charming, quiet, and so convenient to downtown Half Moon Bay. The bed was so comfortable and the hot tub was a special treat. When we told the property manager that our dog was uncomfortable with the lack of rugs on slippery floors, two new rugs were delivered to the house in an hour! We would love to stay here again.

There are people living in their vehicles right in front of the house. The rugs were not clean in bedrooms. Overall a home-like rental. Thank you for allowing our dogs to stay. Enjoyed our stay.
