Cozy & Close to town and Beaches
My first time staying in a VRBO. I stayed two nights so I could explore the beaches. I had so much fun. First, it's in a nice neighborhood where parking was very easy. Separate entry into the cottage. It was very private, quiet and set up really cute. I read all the reviews, and so I brought my own small Keurig and coffee pods. I do this anyway when I travel. There is a sink, a toilet, a shower, also a kitchen area, a small fridge and TV. The one complaint, petty, one ply TP. Don't laugh, you use so much more. Shower head could be made smaller to get better water flow but was not an issue for me. TV was fine with a Roku. I always bring my passwords for Hulu, Netflix and so that was fine. I had some issues with the heat. The remote was really hard for me to figure out. I probably spent more time trying to get it right without wasting energy but I did follow directions with the fan so the heat would stay downstairs. A table would have been nice so I used the end table as my table. It was raining the first day so I could not use the outside table. I had such a relaxing few days and would stay here again. So much fun! Thank you

A Cottage By The Sea
The cottage was nicely appointed, very private, comfortable, cozy and is dog friendly.It is also centrally located to a number of different beaches (including a dog beach) and wonderful restaurants. The owners have thought of everything, including an enclosed backyard, dog towels and a dog bed.Owners were also very friendly and welcoming!Loved it!

Half Moon Bay stay
Really enjoyed our stay here! A lot of areas to visit. Very dog friendly. Our pups were very comfortable with a nice safe yard for them. Limited seating but we made it work. TV trays might have been nice as there was no where to eat a meal. In better weather the table outside would have been great. Well appointed with everything you need to be comfortable.Fun quirky little studio size unit.

Best place ever
This was the most cozy and welcoming property that I have stayed at. The hosts were very attentive and responded quickly. My family and I had just came off a 10 day Alaskan cruise, and the host allowed us to drop off our luggage before check in. Everything was tidy and well kept. The property was conveniently located, we would definitely stay here again!

Great space close to ocean and trail
Cozy is an accurate word to describe this cottage. Hosts were very clear in the description that this space is for a small family or couples that are very comfortable with it all being one space. But it was just myself and my husband and we really enjoyed our stay here. There are a few things that would make it more comfortable like a table inside to eat or play games but there really is no room for that. Bed was very comfortable and kitchenette was well stocked. We enjoyed the fact that it is so close to the coastal trail, easily walking distance but great with bikes. The patio area is private and cute. There could be a few improvements but all in all it works. We would definitely return.

Warm and welcoming.. even the path through the gates is pretty. The cabin had everything we needed for our short stay. We appreciated all the little touches that made our stay even nicer. Clean,quiet and comfortable. A nice short walk to the gorgeous Poplar Beach. The only thing we could have used was a grill.. Other than that we were very happy. The hosts were easy to communicate with and very friendly and accommodating. I look forward to next time! Thank you!

Beautiful small cottage, perfect place to relax and recharge, walking distance to Poplar beach, a beautiful dog friendly beach. I stayed with my 2 little dogs. They really enjoyed the backyard too. Owners replied to my questions right away. I’m planning to go back soon with a couple of friends.

Cute Little Cottage Near the Beach
Sweet and comfortable little cottage. Perfect for a couple. Loved the peaceful decor and airy feel. We didn’t use the upstairs loft with just two of us, but it would have worked well if we brought children or grandchildren. Very pet friendly— dog bed, water dish, and dog towels provided. Having a private deck and private fenced yard set it apart from a hotel room. Lovely landscaping. The owners live next door but other than a very pleasant casual conversation when we crossed paths in the driveway, we didn’t see another soul. Would definitely return.

Cozy cottage
Quaint little cottage, about what was expected. However, there was a lot of rules about noise & parking due to location near other homes with folks who don’t seem to appreciate people coming in & out. Water pressure suspect & the temperature controlled by what is going on in the main house - unfortunately for me, that was during a shower. Also, a Keurig would have been nice, it’s an inexpensive way to treat travelers.

cottage near beach, very nice.
we wanted to be able to spend some time near the ocean. This is a small place but an easy walk to Poplar Beach in Half Moon Bay. A nice, quiet backyard. We enjoyed eating dinner there. A good place for a couple or perhaps a small family. A tiny but excellent shower. I would be happy to rent this place again.

Spring Stay
Very private; cozy; quiet at night; excellent access to coastal trail and the beach. This was the second time we stayed at this property, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Both the Mediterranean and the Himalayan restaurants we ordered to go dinners from were fantastic. The property manager/host couldn’t have been easier to work with.
