Highly recommend this property. Is ideal for a couple or a couple with 1-2 young children. Walking distance to old town Half Moon Bay. There is a nice market very close by and gas station. Many restaurants to choose from. Property is across the street from a school/church. Nice and quiet area. Can't wait to come back. We are repeat customers of this property. There is a hot tub, but was not working properly. Love, love this property.

This house was charming, quiet, and so convenient to downtown Half Moon Bay. The bed was so comfortable and the hot tub was a special treat. When we told the property manager that our dog was uncomfortable with the lack of rugs on slippery floors, two new rugs were delivered to the house in an hour! We would love to stay here again.
