Charming Garden Cottage- steps to historic Old Town Half Moon Bay
The Mill Rose Garden Cottage- come stay in a peaceful garden setting, situated just 2 blocks off the heart of the historic Old Town district of Half Moon Bay with easy walkability to award-winning restaurants, boutique shops, galleries, farmers market, festivals and so much more! It is also a short bike ride or slightly longer walk (1 flat mile) to the pristine beaches and coastal trail where you can ride or walk south towards the Ritz or north towards Pillar Point Harbor/Mavericks. We offer electric bike rentals to make this a pleasant and leisurely experience. After your daily coastal adventures, relax in the brand new (Oct 2022) hot tub and/or head downtown for a drink and/or appetizers, or enjoy an afternoon tea in the front garden and make your own appetizers in our well-stocked kitchen. No parking problems, we have plenty of street parking.
