The property was tucked away in a quiet neighborhood and it felt like a very private oasis all to myself. It was exceptionally clean and perfectly cozy for me to stay in for a few days. I would definitely stay again if I am ever in the area!

Super fun and cozy beach cottage!

This was such a lovely stay, near the beach. We loved the feel of the beachy space, indoor and on the back patio. Puppy had a great little fenced in place to play. We were able to cook a couple meals- the hosts were fantastic, responding to unique requests! What a dream. We had a memorable 30 year wedding anniversary here! Highly recommend.

We had a very nice stay. It's a cozy place with a great patio with lovely landscaping. We spent a lot of time out there. It feels very private. The photos of the property are accurate except for a few minor changes (different chair, lamp etc.) The property is close to downtown Half Moon, easy to get to and in a quiet neighborhood. Thank you to our hosts.We would defintely stay again!

A Cottage By The Sea

The cottage was nicely appointed, very private, comfortable, cozy and is dog friendly.It is also centrally located to a number of different beaches (including a dog beach) and wonderful restaurants. The owners have thought of everything, including an enclosed backyard, dog towels and a dog bed.Owners were also very friendly and welcoming!Loved it!

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.
