"This is a gem in Half Moon Bay! We were centrally located for trips along the coast, while being near restaurants, cafes and homemade gelato! It was a short walk down to the beach for sunsets. The home was very comfortable, clean, and had a huge walk-in shower! The kitchen was very well appointed, check-in/check-out directions were easy to follow, and the beds were very comfortable. We loved all of the natural light, and privacy in the home."
