Fantastic, quiet, remodeled private cottage, with large deck off living room and bedroom, and roof deck with city views, shared hot tub, a beautiful wet bar with induction burner, huge heated-floor bathroom, in-unit laundry, dishwasher, 77" 4K home theater with thousands of free movies, many streaming services, 1000Mbps internet, both WiFi and Ethernet and a dedicated work-from-home desk space, a large bedroom with reclaimed wood wall, and closet. One block from historic Castro district.
The space:
There are a number of stairs to get into the unit. If you have difficulty navigating stairs, this may not be the right place for you. i get it professionally cleaned after each reservation. i’ve tailored it to my own personal tastes, from the reclaimed redwood wall to the heated bathroom floor. i built the entire apartment from the ground up, floors and all, choosing each detail as it was built. There's a lot of love in this place. i hope you enjoy it as much as i do. :)
Outdoor hot tub is shared, and always on, though it rarely gets used. Quite time is 10pm for the hot tub.
i do not have cable/network TV. i do have an AppleTV with lots of streaming services, which you are welcome to use. :)
Street parking is free, with a weekday 9am-9pm 2-hours time limit, no limit on weekends, cars need to be moved Fridays from 8am-10am for weekly street cleaning. If you need a parking permit (which lets you ignore the 2-hour but not street cleaning), please message me at least three weeks prior to your reservation, so the city can have time to mail it to me. The cost will be determined by the length of your stay, but it's roughly $62/week.
Guest access:
Entire house, rooftop deck, courtyard, entire deck off living room and bedroom. Hot tub is rarely used but is shared.
There are 15 stairs to get to the house. The rooftop deck is two stories up, all stairs. The house is halfway up the block on a steep hill.
Other things to note:
This is not a party house. Please, no parties. i've worked hard to make this a beautiful place and want to keep it in great condition.
Also, please read the House Guidelines, posted on the wall by the door, and Check-In instructions.
- "I was in SF for a week for work -- this was a delightful place to stay for the week. Highly recommend! " - "Clean, stylish and comfortable! Cory, our host, was friendly and helpful. The neighborhood was a blast, with great shops and restaurants in easy walking distance. Mission Dolores Park is also an easy walk, with a breathtaking view of the city. We'd stay there again any time!" - "We loved this apartment. The unit is beautiful and stylish and very quiet. The bathroom especially is full of luxurious high end touches (like double shower heads and heated floors). The porch features gorgeous flowers and lovely resident hummingbirds. The location is ideal: great coffee at Spike’s and markets for essentials right around the corner; everything the Castro has to offer nearby; easy access to Muni at Castro Station; a short lovely walk to Dolores Park and the Mission. We lived in SF for several years and staying here felt like coming home!"

Space was large enough for two people, great option for our Stanford recovery." - "A place to quickly crash for a simple adult but definitely not a couple or family. The place could be so much better if hosts would keep better care and clean of it. Sadly wouldn’t recommend.. only positive is the view was nice and location was good for us because of close friends.

Adorable, small but very efficient cottage with loft and completely private yard and patio. This historic cottage converted from a Speakeasy, sleeps 4 close friends or family members comfortably. This space works for a party of close and intimate relations. The main space is a studio-type layout with kitchenette, toilet, shower and queen bed. The loft also has a queen size bed. Large patio, outdoor swing and fireplace make this cottage an ideal place to relax. Beach is about 500 yards through the neighborhood.
One thing to note is this place doesn’t have much privacy. Please scrutinize our pictures closely to make sure this space is right for you.
- "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!"

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.

- "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."

Located on the property of the historic La Nebbia Winery on Hwy 92, this VRBO offers all the comforts of home plus the flexibility to travel west toward the coast or east toward Silicon Valley. 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."

Located just 5 or so minutes' walk to the Bay and to magnificent views of GG Bridge and Alcatraz, our cottage offers a real San Francisco experience (with luxury!). It nestles behind one of San Francisco's lovely 'painted lady' Victorians. Fully DETACHED, rose-covered, it is surrounded by gardens and was completely renovated by us a few years ago. It is inviting, light and airy and has its own private patio. It is safe and secluded yet just a stone's throw from vibrant, chic, Union Street where San Franciscans come to dine and shop. The best and most desirable neighborhood of San Francisco!
With your own private entrance and intercom with door buzzer from the street directly to the cottage, you can communicate and buzz guests or deliveries in without going outside!
No other lister will treat you as well as we do! When you arrive, you will find the fridge stocked with juice, milk, eggs, cream, yoghurt, sodas and there will be cereal and muffins, tea and coffee, other staples and excellent toiletries, all for you. There will be a lovely bouquet of fresh flowers awaiting you, great linens, robes and many other extras.
Restaurants, cafes and boutiques, banks, beauty salons, buses and taxis one block away. One convenience store 100 yards away, another within 200 yards. Small park across the street and a library in a lovely heritage building 50 yards away.
Everyone who has stayed here has loved it and our guests constantly tell us: 'We wish we had discovered this spot years ago!'
Two lovely bedrooms (one with California King bed, the other with Queen Size Bed and doors onto patio). Perfect for 2 couples, a family with children or a couple looking for a romantic retreat.
Furnished to a high standard. Fully equipped kitchen with dining table, living room with wood burning stove (there is also central heating), tumbled- tiled bathroom with deep soaking tub, small private patio with table, chairs and sun lounger, central heating, DSL wireless, large flat screen TV with Cable, DVD player, CD player, dishwasher, use of washer/drier. Coffee maker, juicer, toaster, microwave, iron, ironing board, baking dishes, pots, pans, alarm clocks, books, CDs, DVDs.
Turn-key ready - this is not the kind of self-catering place where you immediately have to go to the store to buy paper towels, toilet tissue, dish-soap, etc. - all these basics are already waiting for you.
Surroundings : An ideal spot to see all the sights of San Francisco. Union Street (1 minutes' walk) Polk Street (3 minutes' walk), Fillmore Street (5 minutes' walk) and Chestnut Street (7 minutes' walk) are all filled with restaurants of very type from high-end to inexpensive and shops and boutiques of every type. The Marina Green and magnificent beaches/views of Crissy Field are about 8 minutes' drive away or half an hour's walk. WALK SCORE is 97!
By car or taxi Downtown/Union Square/SF Opera/Symphony are about 8 minutes, by direct bus 12- 15 minutes. Fisherman's Wharf is also about 8 minutes' by car/taxi. Buses and taxis are one minute's walk away. Very easy access (5 minutes' drive) to the Golden Gate Bridge for exploring Marin, Napa, the Redwoods and beyond.
Child-friendly amenities: This is a perfect spot for children. It is safe and secure with no-one above or below you. We are also on FLAT street (something of a rarity in San Francisco - try pushing a stroller up some of those hills after a day of sight-seeing!).

- "The cottage was just as the pictures showed it. It is in the prefect location and it is very comfortable. The owner was always available if issues came up. I highly recommend it." - "My husband & I took our first trip to San Francisco last Fall (2015) to visit our son and do some sightseeing. We found this gem on VRBO, read the fantastic reviews and thought it sounded perfect for us. Daryl was great to work with and the personal amenities that were provided were above & beyond our expectations! Daryl & her husband have created this gem of a cottage in a beautiful neighborhood behind their home. They thought of all the details to make us feel so welcome and at home, from the fresh flowers in every room to the Starbucks coffee (which really sold us), fresh fruit, jam, muffins, cookies, cream, juice, cereal, milk, etc.! Since we didn't rent a car, we Uber'd for our first time and that worked out quite well. We felt like Uber experts by the end of our trip! We didn't cook during our 10 night stay, but certainly could have in the beautiful, stocked kitchen with state of the art appliances. We especially loved the private patio behind our cottage, which was perfect for unwinding with a glass (or 2) of wine after a fun-filled day of touring the city and taking wonderful excursions to Sonoma, Muir Woods, Alcatraz, or North Beach Food Tour! My son's job had recently required him to move to LA, but his company allowed him to work remotely & Daryl graciously accommodated him to stay with us in the 2-bedroom cottage for part of that time for a reasonable fee. This was a dream vacation for us, and I didn't want to leave! We feel so blessed to have stumbled on this wonderful place & would definitely stay again when we return!!! My husband, son, & I really appreciated Daryl and her husband's hospitality and cannot wait to plan another trip! I would wholeheartedly recommend this luxury cottage if you are planning a trip to this beautiful city of San Francisco! Thank you, thank you Daryl & Mark for all you did!!!"

- "Was in the area doing site visits for a job interview. The accommodations are very nice. The kitchen is very well-stocked. I did have to buy some laundry detergent, but left it for the next user. The only suggestion I would have is to have a broom/dustpan and some countertop spray available for daily tidy-ups. Thanks for the great stay!" - "This rental was adorable, clean, and had amazing amenities. The owners responded within minutes and took care of all of our needs. We could not have been happier."

We are very close to Fitzgerald Marine Reserve (Tidepools), downtown Half Moon Bay, great shops and restaurants, amazing local hiking trails.
Public transportation and Ubers/Lyfts are scarce, so you will definitely want a car! We don't recommend our place for young children or adults with mobility issues since there are two wide steps inside the home and a staircase out front leading to the front door. Please only book if you are certain everyone in your party can safely navigate the stairs.
We hope you enjoy your stay.
- "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. It is well appointed, super clean, private and comfortable. 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!"

- "Wow, what a great place to stay. The house and rental in the back are perfect for a nice quiet getaway. We had to stay within 15 miles of Stanford Hospital for our cancer treatment and this was the place that we picked. The interior was fantastically clean and new. Having separate areas like the living room and kitchen and the bedroom really helped with my husband’s healing. Having a walk-in shower was just like home. We also had access to the housekeeper. The owners were very easy to get a hold of if there were any problems. Their response time was in a timely manner, usually within an hour. It was very nice of them to ask us how we were doing, and they noticed that my husband was making improvements. That really helped him feel good. This was our first time staying in the VRBO and I would recommend it to all my friends and anyone going though cancer treatment from Stanford."

- "Russ was such a great host. He is kind and a great communicator. He was mindful of our needs during the stay and was very responsive. The inside of the cottage is decorated well and comfortable. Thank you Russ!" - "We spent a month at Lone Mountain for the birth of grandchild. The location was great - close to our family but also grocery shopping and parks. With COVID, we did not take advantage of the many restaurants close by, but did do some takeout. Our 2 year old grandchild spent several days a week with us and really enjoyed playing on the patio. The beds were super comfortable - something you don’t always find in a vacation rental. The location in the backyard of the main property made for more privacy from the street and the two floors made the unit feel larger. The kitchen and bathrooms were very updated and nice. Russ was very responsive to our questions. We would certainly stay at Lone Mountain again for an extended trip to San Francisco."

It’s very small and there’s probably 100 stairs to get to the front door I can’t imagine ever having to bring groceries. The finishes are nice and one of the bedrooms is a good size. The second bedroom is tiny and feels like it was probably a converted closet. It’s really a one bedroom apartment with a small little closet with a bed.

We're obsessed with this ultra-stylish cozy home, up in the trees of JAR Farms with staggering ocean views.
Fall asleep to waves, and wake up and hike to our farm's beach.
Restored with recycled materials, it has one bedroom and one queen sofa bed.
MUST SEE huge deck, featuring boho chic glamping tent with electricity, a queen bed, and all the amenities!
The perfect retreat for a family, or couples who can't agree on hotel or glamping 😂
Unlike anything else Marin County has to offer!
The space
This bungalow is on JAR Farms, a family-owned by teens/for teens wellness retreat and non-profit. Your space is very private but you will have shared access to hiking trails, rose gardens, orchards, pool, hot tub and more.
We'll share our fresh produce, locally made honey and farm fresh eggs with you upon check in!
There are four homes on the nine acre property, with no more than dozen people on site at any time.
It's the best of ultra-stylish chic cozy living with an expansive, spacious unreal Bay Area property.
The property is pet friendly, but please note we have three very friendly dogs of our own — Lucky, Calli and Xena.
(Please note, both units and beach and pool access require taking serpentine trails and rustic steps. We think it's part of the charm, but want to make sure folks are prepared for that!)
Guest access
You'll have shared access to the full property, but the bungalow, glamping tent, and surrounding patio are all yours to enjoy privately. Tucked away from the other spaces, this is the most secluded spot on the property—perfect for a peaceful escape.
Other things to note
PLEASE NOTE, our charming bungalow is actually my favorite spot on the property—it's where I’d live if I could! While it’s one of our cozier spaces, it’s perfect for a couple or a small family of four. For teenagers+ or a little extra room to spread out, the glamping tent offers additional space and a unique experience.
If you'd like to enjoy our property with a bit more living space, we also offer the Unreal Garden Cottage: https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/1153183741381457894?source_impression_id=p3_1717180775_P3y6kltsgrU40Qmv
