This location was a Destination Spot for weekenders in the early 1900's. Their was a restaurant on this Property, a hotel, bunk houses and a store. The guests traveled by Train from San Francisco and Santa Cruz to visit this Amazing Place, called "Nye's Reef". Most of the buildings are still standing, in fact our Ocean Front Cottage was visited by Jack London! A little inspiration!!

Owner's Map of Half Moon Bay
We have lived on the coast during the past 36 years. Jerome visited the area as a youngster with his grandparents in the 60's , fishing, and playing on the beaches. I grew up in the southpacific, my barings have always been the ocean. The beauty on the Coast , the open hills, the miles of beaches and the isolation from the quick pace of daily life helped us to decide to make this our home. Our choice to live and raise our children on the Coast is undeniable one our Our Best decisions!

My wife and I have been going to Half Moon Bay for new years eve for the last 7 years now. We have stayed everywhere up and down the coast looking for the perfect spot. And now we have found it! We rented both cabins with some friends of ours and it was perfect as they are next door to one another. The price is very reasonable for what you get. The view, the outside fire place EVERYTHING was perfect. Don't worry about bringing a thing as the kitchens are fully stocked with just about anything and everything you could possibly need to cook. I will defiantly be back and very much look forward to it. Byron

My husband and I just came from a wonderful two-night stay at this cottage-by-the-sea in Moss Beach. All I can say is Wow! With beautiful views, privacy and a warm welcome, it was exactly what we were looking for in planning a get-away for our 18th anniversary. Although the property is pretty close to an additional cottage, the owners have done a remarkable job in assuring total privacy if that's what you're looking for. This property can be enjoyed by a couple seeking private, romantic alone-time or possibly together with another couple renting out the second cottage for a lovely vacation with friends. The photos are more than accurate, and as a matter of fact, the actual rental went beyond our expectations. It was clean, great decor, clearly well taken care of and phone numbers (owner's) were provided in case there was anything else we needed. Nearby activities include a Marine Preserve with beach and hiking access. The Distillery restaurant (within walking distance) was fantastic as was Sam's Chowder House a few miles back towards Half Moon Bay. The owners even provided a short book detailing the history of the area and their property which was fun to read and learn about. We will surely be back for another visit, and might even make it a tradition of some sort. I HIGHLY recommend this property for anyone looking for a retreat from the hustle and bustle of life, looking for breathtaking views and a chance to indulge and recharge!

Great Little Bungalow with Awsome Views and Sounds of the Ocean. The king size bed was comfy, and everything was clean and well stocked. Jerome & Carol are very personable and helpful with any needs. In a great area that has quick access to San Francisco or any of the quaint Coastal towns along Highway One. Bring some wading shoes or boots to to check out the tide pools, which are only a few steps away! I would recommend to anyone looking to Get Away from it All, a Romantic week or weekend & total relaxation. Thanks for Everything!

Thank you sooo much for providing such a beautiful place to get away for the "daily grind". I came here to celebrate my birthday and recharge my spirit in on of my most favorite places on the planet. Little did I know I would be waking up to a Tsunami warning the next day! I stayed to watch the waves and best of all, my sister came to join me unexpectedly for another night. This was one of my BEST Birthdays EVER!!! I will recommend this to my friends and family and will definitely be back with my husbancd for a romantic getaway. Thanks Again, Peace..

I rented this as a surprise birthday night for my sweetheart. It covered all of the senses: the smell of the ocean, the sounds of the waves, the vast view from the backyard, the touch of the quality furnishings inside and the taste of dinner for two in the perfectly furnished kitchen. Romantic, sweet, serene... We will be back!

Over the last two years I have stayed at this cottage by the sea six times. It has become my healing home away from home. I have fallen absolutely in love with this magical place. The ocean waves crashing on the rocks below lulls you to sleep at night and is the first thing you hear and see when you wake up in the morning. It is the most romantic, peaceful and healing place I have even stayed. The owners are always gracious and accommodating.
