    We loved our stay at this little charming home! The house was clean and the amenities were in good condition. A few simple items seemed to be missing from the kitchen, like a cookie sheet or hand towels, but for the most part we were able to easily make do. One nice feature was provided coffee pods. Everything went smoothly except the communication seemed relatively delayed when the internet and tv weren’t working for half of our stay. Despite reaching out numerous times and receiving multiple messages promising to come first thing in the morning, I still had to reach out because they did not come or fix it and they didn’t fix it until our last evening. They were somewhat apologetic but just not very prompt on following through with when they initially said they would fix it which was a bummer for the student that was with us who had planned on connecting to the WiFi and for wanting to watch tv during our stay. Over all we would come again but would just make sure the WiFi was working upon arrival and bring some of your own towels to ensure a seemless stay.

    The house was beautiful and clean. The linens and towels were extremely soft and clean. Super cute kitchen big enough to cook in and move around in. Thank you for the fans in bedrooms. The hot tub was very low on water and the fire pit had zero gas. The back yard had weeds. The dog at least had a small place to go. The front yard had beautiful plants but left little desire to sit out front. Why was there a washer out front on sidewalk?

    1st time doing a VRBO and it was a very pleasant experience. No issues with the reservation or check in/out. The property is very close to downtown so we were able to walk everywhere. If you are a city girl like me, be prepared for how quiet things are and maybe bring a white noise machine if you need some noise. It is a cabin so not the vibe if you want updated/modern digs but very cute and loved the vintage feel. Would recommend!

    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.

    Very easy property to check into, the host was very easy to get ahold of. The house is very cozy, all the rooms are spacious and clean. Nice patio and the hot tube is perfect. Dog friendly which was a huge plus for us, DT was close and the beach too. Pair was easy and plenty of it.

    This property was in a great location, and was an easy walk to Main Street full of restaurants and shops, and was a quick drive to a lot of local beaches. House was fairly clean (it was a little dusty), and had all the amenities that we needed (the dryer came in handy a few times). The house would be great for 4 guests, but was a little tight with 6 since we had to use the couch as another bed and didn't have much other seating without the couch. Otherwise, this was such a cute little place to stay and enjoy Half Moon Bay!

    We had a ball! Great place to stay super-clean. Bright space with lots of windows. Wonderful location for Half Moon Bay and also to use as a home base for other areas of San Francisco and surrounding cities.

    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!

    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.

    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!
