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.

Cozy cottage
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!

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.

Super cute cottage close to beach
The property was super cute and clean. It was just as described. It was super close to a dog, friendly beach, 15 minute walk or a very short drive to the parking lot for the beach. The Coastal Trail is also at the beach, if you want to take a nice walk along the coast with beautiful views! Hosts are very friendly and responsive. Quickly gave recommendations upon request. We enjoyed our trip so much and can’t wait to return!

A fun little beach house :)
We had an awesome time at this house. Close to main street, beaches, and in a quiet neighborhood. Would definitely recommend to a couple or small family since its a little close quarters.

Ideal short-term rental
The rental was exactly as advertised, very clean, organized, and perfect for a short term stay. It’s in a wonderful location in HMB, only a short walk to the beautiful coastal path. We had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable. Although close to neighbors, we felt like we had enough privacy.

Property in great location. The studio is compact but perfect for two. The bed was very comfortable after hours of exploring between HMB and Santa Cruz. The private backyard was so pretty with beautiful succulents. We enjoyed our stay and would have loved to have had a longer visit.

Very cute and cozy
This cottage was just the right size for me, my husband and our adult daughter. The weather was beautiful and we were only a short walk to the beach. The fenced yard was an added plus for our two small dogs. The neighborhood was very quiet. We’d definitely stay here again.

Hidden Gem
We live only a little over an hour away but coming to HMB for a weekend feels like a true getaway. We chose this house because it was in a quiet neighborhood and dog friendly. We were not disappointed! The hosts make this spot so special with coastal decor and everything there to make our stay comfortable including a stocked kitchen and plenty of linens. Morning coffee on the private patio was perfect. Parking is easy and a short walk to the beach. Main St is really close - across HWY 1 and just up the road a bit. I really appreciated the small kitchenette. And plenty of beach towels there for our use if we needed them. Our pup was super comfortable and enjoyed sitting on the patio with us. We would absolutely stay here again and will tell our friends.
