Cozy is an accurate word to describe this cottage. Hosts were very clear in the description that this space is for a small family or couples that are very comfortable with it all being one space. But it was just myself and my husband and we really enjoyed our stay here. There are a few things that would make it more comfortable like a table inside to eat or play games but there really is no room for that. Bed was very comfortable and kitchenette was well stocked. We enjoyed the fact that it is so close to the coastal trail, easily walking distance but great with bikes. The patio area is private and cute. There could be a few improvements but all in all it works. We would definitely return.

Warm and welcoming.. even the path through the gates is pretty.
The cabin had everything we needed for our short stay. We appreciated all the little touches that made our stay even nicer.
Clean,quiet and comfortable. A nice short walk to the gorgeous Poplar Beach.
The only thing we could have used was a grill..
Other than that we were very happy.
The hosts were easy to communicate with and very friendly and accommodating.
I look forward to next time!
Thank you!

Beautiful small cottage, perfect place to relax and recharge, walking distance to Poplar beach, a beautiful dog friendly beach. I stayed with my 2 little dogs. They really enjoyed the backyard too. Owners replied to my questions right away. I’m planning to go back soon with a couple of friends.

Sweet and comfortable little cottage. Perfect for a couple. Loved the peaceful decor and airy feel. We didn’t use the upstairs loft with just two of us, but it would have worked well if we brought children or grandchildren. Very pet friendly— dog bed, water dish, and dog towels provided. Having a private deck and private fenced yard set it apart from a hotel room. Lovely landscaping. The owners live next door but other than a very pleasant casual conversation when we crossed paths in the driveway, we didn’t see another soul. Would definitely return.

Quaint little cottage, about what was expected. However, there was a lot of rules about noise & parking due to location near other homes with folks who don’t seem to appreciate people coming in & out. Water pressure suspect & the temperature controlled by what is going on in the main house - unfortunately for me, that was during a shower. Also, a Keurig would have been nice, it’s an inexpensive way to treat travelers.

we wanted to be able to spend some time near the ocean. This is a small place but an easy walk to Poplar Beach in Half Moon Bay. A nice, quiet backyard. We enjoyed eating dinner there. A good place for a couple or perhaps a small family. A tiny but excellent shower. I would be happy to rent this place again.

Very private; cozy; quiet at night; excellent access to coastal trail and the beach. This was the second time we stayed at this property, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Both the Mediterranean and the Himalayan restaurants we ordered to go dinners from were fantastic. The property manager/host couldn’t have been easier to work with.

The property was super cute and clean. It was just as described. It was super close to a dog, friendly beach, 15 minute walk or a very short drive to the parking lot for the beach.
The Coastal Trail is also at the beach, if you want to take a nice walk along the coast with beautiful views!
Hosts are very friendly and responsive. Quickly gave recommendations upon request.
We enjoyed our trip so much and can’t wait to return!

We booked this stay last minute as a spur of the moment beach trip and we so fortunate this one was available! Coming in, the instructions for everything was very clear and the property was adorable! Great location right off the coast! The owners were amazing as well. Can’t wait to book again!

We had an awesome time at this house. Close to main street, beaches, and in a quiet neighborhood. Would definitely recommend to a couple or small family since its a little close quarters.

The rental was exactly as advertised, very clean, organized, and perfect for a short term stay. It’s in a wonderful location in HMB, only a short walk to the beautiful coastal path. We had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable.
Although close to neighbors, we felt like we had enough privacy.

Property in great location. The studio is compact but perfect for two. The bed was very comfortable after hours of exploring between HMB and Santa Cruz. The private backyard was so pretty with beautiful succulents. We enjoyed our stay and would have loved to have had a longer visit.

This cottage was just the right size for me, my husband and our adult daughter. The weather was beautiful and we were only a short walk to the beach. The fenced yard was an added plus for our two small dogs. The neighborhood was very quiet. We’d definitely stay here again.

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.

This was a really nice and private location. The space was well equipped and other than food, I didn’t need to go out and get anything for my stay. The owners were very attentive and made sure I was able to get all settled in. There was a binder with a lot of great ideas which helped in deciding where to visit/eat. Would definitely recommend and the drive to the beach is literally 2 minute away or about a ten minute walk.

Easy check in and quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed the walk to beach and a nice long uncrowded beach. Our two small dogs enjoyed the backyard and the fence was very secure so our toy dog could not get out. We enjoyed hanging out in the back yard too!

Nice Stay
Enjoyed the stay the only thing I would change is having a hand vacuum on the premises and changing the under staircase space to storage shelving and the other storage unit near the shower to a decent refrigerator because you hit your head on the staircase getting in and out of the frige. Also, a larger tv. Just suggestions but completely enjoyed the neighborhood, the proximity to the beach and downtown, the appeal of the little cottage and everything else about it!

Perfectly Tiny!
We really enjoyed our stay in the Tiny Cottage. It was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. The fully enclosed courtyard was a lovely bonus for us and our dog. Looking forward to a return visit.

Work out well for our family. Our 10 month old loved the patio and made for perfect date nights with take out after he went to bed.

Cute, comfy, but tiny…
Plan well to stay here…. It’s a nice location (can walk to the beach) and it’s fairly quiet (nestled in a neighborhood) with a small, but sweet patio area…. But cooking is very abbreviated and inside privacy (unless you’re alone) is zero…. But over all that, if you can observe those cautions …. It’s an absolutely charming destination!!

Great little spot!
We live just a few blocks away and were having our home fumigated and needed a place to stay for us and our two cats. It was perfect! Cats don't tend to like change, and they both just hunkered down upstairs on the bed on a blanket I'd brought over (thought it would help to have something that smelled familiar). So happy to know about this little place if we have overflow guests that we cant accomodate!

Great Weekend Getaway
Lovely cottage. Very comfortable beds. Our ten year old loved the little loft he got to himself. Beautiful private patio with greenery all around. Seemless check in.
Thank you!
