About this property

Stylish Seaside Cottage - Walking to Beach

Relax in a stylish bright seaside studio above our detached garage in peaceful El Granada, just four miles north of Half Moon Bay. The studio has a private entrance, smart lock, modern skylights, quality linens, comfortable bed, and convenient on-site parking. Your assigned private deck offers a lovely ocean view; please note that the ocean view is enjoyed from the deck rather than from inside the studio. Walk about 10 minutes to nearby beaches, then explore coastal hiking trails, local restaurants, Pillar Point Harbor, and scenic Highway 1. This quiet retreat is ideal for two guests seeking fresh ocean air, a relaxing getaway, and easy access to the best of the Half Moon Bay coast.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We really like the area and the building is walkable to were we go. Our room is over a garage but more than enough space for me and my fiancé. The patio area outside of the room is a nice spot to hangout and watch a sunset or just chit chat. The room even had a hot plate. We didn't need to use it. Still good to know. We'll for sure be back when we go out that way again. Also, the food by the water is so good.

While the space is very small, it was perfect for my purposes. Traveling for work, I just wanted a quiet, clean place to sleep and shower. The host definitely made the most of the space and it was very clean and comfy. Small for two people but perfect for solo travel. Easy check in process and access to a garage or driveway for parking (although my last night, someone parked in my spot, so I parked on the street - not a problem. Again, perfect for my work stay.

Comfortable and charming

Stayed one night at the end of a tour of northern CA. Close to the beach and some good restaurants and breakfast places. Private little deck to watch the light fade over the bay with a beer or the complimentary bottle of wine. I would definitely recommend staying here
