If you love the ocean and cool, refreshing air, this is the place for you! I booked to get away from the crazy hot temps in the valley, and was not disappointed. The view is spectacular, and the location is perfect - a short walk to the marine preserve where there are harbor seals resting and tidepools, and also a beautiful cypress forest. There are lots of beautiful coastal walks nearby, plus so many options for hiking and biking. The property is well-maintained, and the cottage has all the amenities, in terms of cooking items, soap, paper towels, lotion, etc. The decor is cute, and even the dishes aren't your ordinary white plain ones - they have some colorful flair. There's a pitcher of filtered water in the 'frig (although he tap water seems good to me too) There is free on-site laundry. Even an embroidered robe to borrow for the month! the owners are very nice, quick to respond to Qs, but not intrusive. I have already booked for next year!

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!

We spent a month there with our 2 dogs. We had forgotten what it was like to hear the surf as you slept. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything we needed. The horseshoe reefs below the cottage are incredible. Our pups loved the walks to Pillar Point. Carol and Jerome are great hosts. Breakfast at The Press in El Granada is farm to table excellence and the bar at Ketch Joanne gives local color. If you like beer and dogs, Hop Dogma is bomb.

We really enjoyed our stay and can’t thank Carol for her great communication!
Our only suggestion is to consider the addition of a crock pot and blender.
You won’t regret staying here…….so calm/so peaceful/so beautiful!!
Thank you, Carol!!

Awesome retreat by the ocean.
We enjoyed our one month stay in this quiet spot with tremendous views. The house had everything we needed to relax and enjoy the area. Plenty of restaurants within 15 minutes for take out. We cooked for ourselves in the kitchen and we had everything we needed. Thank you to Carol and Jerome; our gracious hosts.

Cozy Cottage - Great Location
Our stay was wonderful. Carol is very responsive and provided everything we needed in a pleasant and friendly manner.
The cottage is in a quiet neighborhood and right next to a state park which made it very relaxing and enjoyable.
No complaints, as we had all we needed.

A little piece of Heaven
I was in awe every day of my stay at this gem by the sea. The pictures don’t even begin to capture the absolute beauty of this place. I slept every night with the sliding glass door open so I could hear the sound of the waves. The cottage is so beautifully decorated, the bed was extremely comfortable and I had everything I needed for a months stay. I work from home so was pleasantly surprised to find there was even a desk in the back perfect for me to setup my computer. My hosts, Jerome and Carol, were there whenever I needed something but always gave me my privacy. Carol was even gracious enough to help me in setting up an afternoon barbecue for a group of friends one weekend. You will not be disappointed. I will be back one day.

Amazing location, GORGEOUS cottage, great value!
We stayed in this beautiful cottage for a full month, and could not have been happier. The views from the cottage were unbeatable. The cottage itself was adorable, clean, and very comfortable. Perfect amount of room for a couple. Carol and Jerome were fantastic hosts! When we arrived there were fresh flowers and champagne in our cottage. What more can you ask for?

Great stay!
We stayed here in November of 2014. This is a great cottage. The lady owner was gone but her husband and son took care of us. One of the best views I have ever seen. Had great walks through the nearby cypress forest and marine refuge. Bought great fish and mussels at the nearby market at the harbor. Cooked out on the gas grill and hung out at the fire pit every night. Property is totally enclosed at end of road right off Highway 1 in Moss Beach. About 30 minutes to airport. Little store is one minute away with great wine selection. It was the perfect size for the two of us. Would definitely go back to and visit again. Oh yes, go to the restaurant at the local airport for the best breakfast in the world!!

Subtle Perfection
Sweeping ocean views, with spectacular sunsets. A peek over the property edge will bring the neighboring tide pools into view... seals...pelicans....and people exploring the environs -- 50 feet below.
If you are fortunate enough to find an opening for this peaceful slice of perfection, do not hesitate.
While modest in size (estimate ~400 sf, excluding deck), design in layout and appointments are perfect for the property (Driftwood Cottage). It balances upscale and comfort while avoiding any sense of fussiness.
Our hosts were gracious and welcoming -- they provided restocking of paper supplies as needed along with fulfilling some miscellaneous requests. All low key and efficiently.
Just what we were looking for --and the best vacation in the area we've ever had.
We've spent time in HMB each summer for the past 4 years--having stayed at the Beach House, Cypress Inn and Landis Shores -- with a priority on the "ocean front" experience. By far, this property offered the best atmosphere, views and overall comfort. We were actually sad to leave.

This little gem of a cottage is absolute heaven. I watched the sun go down every night, slept better than I have in years, and awoke each morning ready to sightsee. The bed was snugly warm, and comfy, with an incredible view. The only sound you hear are waves on the marine reserve below. Our host and hostess were spot on with dinner recommendations. If we needed anything, they were there to help. I'm glad they shared with me their little slice of heaven.

Awesome view, adorable cottage, everything you need at your fingertips, close to attractions, relaxing. Everything we hoped it would be and more! Loved exploring the tide pools at low tide, seeing seals on the beach and walking the trails nearby. Could have sat on the deck and watched the ocean all day! Loved it! Hope we can return soon! Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise!

this cottage is quite clean and had everything we needed for a 3 day stay. The fire pit was enjoyable particularly since it is on the bluff just above the ocean. Easy access to the beach a few blocks away where the seals relax and play. The bed is quite comfortable and the kitchen, although small had everything we needed and was pretty well stocked with essentials. Plenty of space for the luggage and clothes. The deck is quite nice but the chairs closer to the bluff were too alluring to use the deck. Carol is a great hostess and even made cookies for us when we arrived - warm from the oven. We would definitely return. I would pick this over their other unit.

Lovely Cottage!
I stayed at the cottage with my 2 adult kids and we had a blast! The cottage was perfect...it was so cute, clean, well-equipped kitchen and we had chocolate chip cookies waiting for us at our arrival :) ! The central location was perfect for us as we planned to spend time in San Francisco, Big Basin Redwoods State Park and, of course, at the beach...very nice, I highly recommend this location!

Couldn't Have Been Better
We had such a wonderful and relaxing stay at the cottage to celebrate our first year of marriage. The cottage is very private and has all of the amenities one could need for a nice escape. We look forward to coming back for years to come! We are so happy that we found this place!

Perfect Beach Front Getaway
What a wonderful location and cottage. Very clean and stocked with anything you would need. We celebrated our 30 year anniversary while watching an amazing sunset right outside the cottage. The sound of the waves while laying in bed can't get any better! The owners were very nice and even accommodated my daughters special request by leaving a bottle of champagne in our room and delivered some wonderful warm chocolate cookies.
A hidden gem! We will be back!

Exceeded All Expectations
As soon as I parked the car and stepped out, the sound of crashing waves and the scent of briny seawater filled my senses. I walked through the private gate and looked to my right...nothing but Pacific Ocean. I looked to my left and there sat the most perfect beach cottage awaiting my arrival. I stepped inside and was in awe...really. Perfectly appointed, beautifully furnished and so very clean. The bed is "to die for" comfortable, with sliding doors that open out to a private deck that overlooks a darling lawn that overlooks the OCEAN! I am a runner...the trails were endless, you are 2 minutes walking form the Fitzgerald Marine Trail's (sp). My favorite restaurant is the Moss Beach Distillery...I walked to it! I slept like a baby...this cottage is located in a charming and quiet beach neighborhood. Very safe. The owners were so accommodating with tips on where to explore, I could go on and on...bottom line. This is my new favorite place and I will be back...very soon!

Excellant
Beautiful place. Low tide and High tide provide two completely different awesome views. Just a block from the Marine reserve and cypress forest for more great views. Only about 1/2 hour to S.F. for sightseeing there too. Very quiet and relaxing. Carol was an excellent hostess with lots of tips on local places, and even some warm cookies! Spotlessly clean. I would definitely stay here again if I was travelling in the area.

A Relaxing, Rejuvenating Paradise above the Ocean
My week at Driftwood Cottage was all that I hoped it would be and more. An escape from all the stresses of modern day life. On the cliffs above the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve tide pools I watched harbor seals, porpoises, and migrating whales. At the end of each day, I had my own private ocean sunset. I fell asleep to the sounds of the ocean and awoke refreshed and ready for another day of hiking along the coast or exploring Half Moon Bay. The cottage is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. I will definitely return!

Fabulous
This is a beautiful little cottage in a quiet location with a gorgeous view. It was very charming, clean and quiet & it was great to be able to cook! The Marine Reserve is close by and there are lots of walking trails. I loved it! I hope to be able to stay there again.

Breathtaking
My stay at the Driftwood was more than I expected. A lovely spot on the bluff in a quaint little cottage - I could not have asked for anything more. Perfect for my rejuvenating 3-day getaway. The owners are just as lovely. I will be back. Soon, I hope.

Tranquility by the Sea
I have stayed at the Driftwood Cottage in Moss Beach about four times now with friends and my sister and Aunt and we just love it. The owners Carol and Jerome are so nice and accommodating. You can't get closer to the Ocean with out paying a lot more. It is comfortable, clean, big comfortable bed and quality bedding and very adequate kitchen for a beach cottage since I did all the cooking for my group. You can't beat the view and how close it is to San Francisco where I live. I will return.
