"Pleasant little house near the beach."

"On our way driving to Phoenix we decided to spend 3 nights in Half Moon Bay, had never been to this area. It was great! The accommodation was good, bathroom small and sink tiny but the kitchen sink was large so my husband and I used that! Only thing lacking was no wardrobe or closet for hanging clothes, only 1 hook in the bedroom, but we managed and did like the space and cottage feel! Also right next door fabulous little coffee house, great coffees and baked goods and breakfast wraps and...

"We loved this property. We have stayed in hundreds of vrbos and this is one of our favorites. It is beautiful, comfortable and one of the best well stocked places we have stayed. It is peaceful and quiet yet close to so many things to do. We will definitely come back!"

"i stay in san jose a lot and this by far has to be my favorite stay. it’s clean, quiet, has everything you need. the beds are super comfortable and it’s close to everything. will be staying here again. :)"

"The view was beautiful and the space itself is quiet with a nice layout. It was so much better than staying at a hotel, and if you are hoping to see one of those cool (not so) little banana slugs, they are around here. We saw at least a half dozen large ones with even more babies. The location is also perfect, with stores and restaurants nearby, 40 minutes from San Jose airport, 20 minutes from Santa Cruz boardwalk and 5 minutes from Roaring Camp and Henry Cowell state park. I would absolutely...

"Loved staying at your cottage. It was very comfortable and cozy. Enjoyed the weekend events at the winery as well."

"Most relaxing nice stay!"

"Great stay for a solo traveler. Cute garden setting with incredibly cute dogs as welcome committee. Friendly hosts."

"Wonderful property and location. Clean, lovely, easy check-in/out, accurately described. The host and overall experience were fantastic, and I would definitely recommend. I hope to be back again sometime! :)"

"Great location and easy checking and out process."

"We had a wonderful stay at Tracy's cottage while visiting my parents in Palo Alto. Our family of 4 (with 2 small kids) was very comfortable in the cottage. Cleanliness was impeccable. Thank you!"

"A perfect get away for you and your spouse. This home has everything you need to escape reality. We loved watching the sunset in the hot tub and climbing the hill in the morning to watch the sun rise and fog roll over the hills. The home was very clean and well thought out to make your stay easy. My only suggestion would be better seating inside for cold or rainy days. Not a lot of room to eat inside or sit in a cozy chair to relax. Other than that it was PERFECT!! Quick drive to several...

"Great property, very clean, everything you need is there. Beautiful location , relaxing peaceful totally enjoyed or stay and would definitely stay again if visiting the area,"

"With good location for food and shopping. The area was pretty quiet. Definitely recommend."

"The house was perfect for our needs. We were in the area for my mother-in-law's funeral. We had two family members staying with us, and we had other family members gather with us in the evenings, which provided the opportunity to reconnect and begin the healing process. It was comfortable and spacious for a 2 bedroom home. We also appreciated the laundry room, so we could come home with clean clothes. The hosts were very responsive and helpful. Thanks for everything!"

"We needed a place to call home base for a few nights while traveling through CA with our kids to sleep and do laundry. Had no issues at all with the owner/manager or check-in process. There were some essential items missing like toaster, wine opener, and extra blankets but there were items there we weren't expecting like full size shower items. The driveway is VERY narrow and it's almost impossible not to bottom out by the street, beware of this. Our rental van front bumper skirt scrapped no...

"We can’t say enough great things about this property or Kirsten. Fabulous location in a very quaint and lovely neighborhood. Kirsten has thought of everything (including a binder that addressed every question we could’ve had), is always available and makes you feel warm and welcome at all times. A wonderful experience all the way around!"

"Comfortable and clean, we would stay here again."

"We needed a place to stay close to our nephews wedding. This charming place was literally walking distance to the event. There is a gorgeous redwood tree right outside the kitchen door."
