This was our second time staying at this delightful cottage! We enjoy the design of the cottage and location close to the harbor and walk to Pillar Point. Spangler's market is a plus for dining in. Our dog loves the enclosed backyard and would go hang out in it on his own. One morning he was running in circles in the backyard because he was feeling so good! Hope we get to stay there again soon!

Loved being close to the harbor and the wonderful grocery store. My small dog loved the enclosed backyard and loved the walk to Maverick's beach and Montera State beach. The house was very comfortable and my husband and I slept well in the quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed the huge TV screen and the Bar-B-Que grill!

It’s a nice cottage to stay at. Nice neighborhood and short walks to marina and beaches. Pet friendly with a nice backyard to let the dog go to the bathroom. Big storm when we stayed and the whole area lost power. One thing I would recommend is to replace sofa and bed. Very soft and can be tough on these old backs!

Peace and quiet close to the ocean

We needed a three day break from our home during construction and though it was only 30 minutes away from San Francisco, staying here reminded me of how lovely this part of the coast is! The house was perfect - comfy and well equipped, on a quiet street, with a fantastic grocery store nearby, and all the beauty and restaurants of the nearby Princeton by the Sea and Pacific Ocean 5 minutes away. It was a lovely getaway and we plan to return.

Half Moon Bay

This is one of the cleanest vacation rental I’ve ever been in, if not the cleanest and I’ve been going through VRBO for over 15 years. All the linens had the nicest scent. Very subtle, earthy. Many time it’s to bleachy, which can set off headaches for me. The kitchen was well stocked and the fridge was immaculate. We had a very pleasant stay and would definitely return.

Cute Cottage by the Harbour

This is a cute cottage by the harbour. Plus, the residence is pet friendly which allowed us to bring our dog along. A few minor minuses. Back patio door was hard to open and close. The bathroom fixtures did not seem correctly installed and the sink didn't drain well. But, overall a wonderful time.

Charming pied à terre

Very comfortable bed, & I do know since I have severe back issues. The only issues would be the stove wasn’t great and the dishwashing situation also leaves to be desired. Apart from that, it’s a wonderful location, beautiful light and sweetly decorated. The rules are a bit severe, I had a friend come to visit just for a few hours, we took a long walk, but I had to tell the hosts for fear of being evicted. They must’ve had a bad experience with guests in the past. But all in all, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back.

We had a lovely stay in this immaculate cottage. Close to everything we needed, and very peaceful. I really appreciated the fully fenced little yard, my pup could rest out there after exploring the bigger open spaces and I didn't have to worry about him seeing a squirrel and hopping a fence. Kitchen had all the necessities and it was very helpful to cook most of our meals there with the occasional local takeout. Check in and out was easy as well. Very relaxing stay!
