- "This place is as advertised. Small but quaint. Great location--easy walking distance to the beach and a short drive to downtown HMB. Lots of great bakeries and restaurants therefore nearby. Would come back and use it again." - "We live only a little over an hour away but coming to HMB for a weekend feels like a true getaway. We chose this house because it was in a quiet neighborhood and dog friendly. We were not disappointed! The hosts make this spot so special with coastal decor and everything there to make our stay comfortable including a stocked kitchen and plenty of linens. Morning coffee on the private patio was perfect. Parking is easy and a short walk to the beach. Main St is really close - across HWY 1 and just up the road a bit. I really appreciated the small kitchenette. And plenty of beach towels there for our use if we needed them. Our pup was super comfortable and enjoyed sitting on the patio with us. We would absolutely stay here again and will tell our friends."

- "The view from this cozy cottage is spectacular! The cottage is very comfortable and well stocked. We experienced beautiful sunny days perfect for long walks along the coastline at Pillar Point. We also had a few stormy windy days from the historic CA weather systems! It was a wonderful month and we look forward to returning next year." - "We spent the months of January and February in the cottage. It is charming, well-designed, and well-appointed. We were both working from home during this time, and we were able to make simple offices out of a desk at the back of the cabin and the dining table at the front. The setting is the most magical part of the whole experience. The cottage is just steps from a cliff overlooking the wild Pacific Ocean, with a nice landscaped garden in the foreground of the view. There were unprecedented storms during our stay, which brought torrential rain, winds, and power outages. Carol and Jerome were so kind in ensuring that we were comfortable during these days. On calm days, which would be much more common typically, the private cottage deck and shared bench and tables are wonderful places for a picnic or drink while watching the sunset. We were able to park just outside the fence and plug in our car to an exterior outlet. The neighbourhood is quiet and exceptionally friendly, which we discovered during daily dog walks. We loved this place and hope to return!"

Our Sea Glass Cottage was built in 1906. This location was a destination spot for weekenders in the early 1900's. Guests traveled by train from San Francisco and Santa Cruz to visit this amazing place referred to as 'Nye's Reef'. At one time the property boasted a restaurant, hotel, bunk houses, and a tavern. Most of the buildings are still standing. This oceanfront cottage has been visited by many well-known individuals over the years including Jack London and Luther Burbank. A little inspiration!

- "We stayed at the Sea Glass Cottage for just over a month this summer and it was one of my most memorable summer experiences. The location cannot be beat. Fall asleep and wake up to the ocean right outside your window and enjoy all of your meals with a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean at your feet. An excellent Wifi signal extends all the way to the outdoor seating area so you can work and relax at the same time. Nearby beaches abound and we found multiple dog-friendly beaches nearby (driving distance). The nearby Marine Preserve is fascinating but does limit activity for humans and dogs alike (for good reason - there is a colony of seals and protected marine species who live there!). Walk to the nearby distillery, Seal Cove (also a Marine Preserve) and trailheads that wind through the bluffs overlooking the ocean to Pillar Point. (NOTE: the bridge connecting Moss Beach to these areas was damaged and technically impassable while we were there - many people crossed it anyway). The cottage itself is incredibly cozy and comfortable. You have everything you need in a small space and, with the Pacific Ocean as your outdoor living room, you don’t feel the need for more. Carol is an exceptional and responsive host. She has thoughtfully decorated and appointed the cottage with beautiful and tasteful furnishings and excellent organization for “tiny living”. The bed is very comfortable and there is plenty of “workspace” if needed. Thank you again! We will definitely be back!"

Quaint one bedroom cottage right next to Granola's Coffee House. Brand new appliances and high speed wifi. It sleeps up to 4 people. Walking distance to downtown Half Moon Bay with many shops and restaurants. It's also an easy walk to the coastal trail which provides easy access to the beach. The use of beach cruiser bicycles are also included.

- "Great Spacious Cottage. Very nice, cute and comfortable...it had everything we needed!! Just a side note.... if you MapQuest Or Google The cottage address They will send you on a wild goose Chase. You are better off Googleing "Gronolas Coffee House".... It's right next to the cottage and Map Guest will take you right to it:)" - "Clean and easy to get to. Right off the highway." - "The cottage was well-appointed, & the 3 air conditioners kept it nice and cool. Road noise others have noted was evident, & not bad except when there were loud trucks or sirens as the main road is right outside. Keep in mind the parking lot outside the cottage is shared with the cafe (and so is the wifi), which opens at 7:30 am weekdays. The cottage was well-kept and clean, except for a couple of notable things. The cobwebs others mentioned were in multiple places in the rafters, hanging from light fixtures and corners/door frames.There was also pinkish mold around the bottom of the shower in the bathroom (which is tiny as noted by others), all along the grout, at check-in. Thankfully, the cleaning supplies were there, so it was sprayed down with Clorox before heading out one day which cleaned it up. This was a convenient and nice place to stay, and great that it was separate from crowded hotels."

Modern Farmhouse style awaits at this charming boutique winery. Enjoy the beautiful surroundings while sipping on wine, snacking on charcuterie and planning your adventure.

Now is the perfect time to plan your getaway to Half Moon Bay. See you soon!

- "We had a lovely stay. Cottage was very clean, had everything we could need. Perfect place for a quick getaway and home base to explore HMB." - "We chose to stay here for two reasons: Location and because we own a winery back East. The location achieved the objective to be close to the ocean and to put a little distance between ourselves and our larger family gathering 20 min. away. Since the winery is only open from Thursday through Sunday I think, and we were there earlier in the week we didn't get to investigate that side of things very much but I can report that the couple of bottles we did buy were very drinkable. If you look on the map or in one prior comment you'll see that the cottage is indeed quite close to a main road. However, we can confirm that the place is protected enough that the road noise inside is no bother at all. As to the interior, it is perfect for a couple. Having stayed in quite a few VRBO's, many bigger and fancier than this one, what really struck me though, is how absolutely neat and spotless the place was inside. Whoever is responsible for cleaning and straightening deserves a medal."

- "Everything is as described! Host is very responsive and the local area is absolutely breathtaking! Easy access from SFO and to the city. Loved our stay. Highly recommend!" - "Regan's cottage is the perfect getaway for anyone seeking a coastal getaway. The location is divine, one block away from the ocean.

The bed is perfect for a good nights rest and if you open the window you will hear the waves lulling you to sleep.The cottage is about a two minute drive to Montara Beach, 5 minutes from Pillar Point Harbor and 10 minutes away from beautiful downtown Half Moon Bay. The small town vibe, excellent dining choices and recreation opportunities make this a wonderful place to stay. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did!Thank you Regan!"
