We absolutely loved this stay! The room was spacious with cozy vibes and the seating area right outside our room would be perfect for a nice day! Would definitely stay again. Plus the breakfast in bed was a perfect start to our morning!

The cutest little B and B. Close to the beach for an evening stroll. Quiet with modern updates. Wine bar in the evening and breakfast in the morning. Couldn't have asked for a better getaway!

It is an old home turned into an inn. You feel like you stepped into a 1900’s home. It is a very inviting atmosphere. The staff and owner are very friendly and accommodating. The patio is an unexpected treat.

6/10 Good

mixed bag priced as luxury
the good - nice little house on the outskirts of Half Moon Bay, outdoor patio with three tables with build in firerings (and several without); nice ambiance; nice living /breakfast room on the ground floor; coffee available all day and wine in the evenings. the bad - rooms are very small and had virtually no storage, one small cupboard for hanging clothes, we had to keep everything in our suitcases; no bathrooms, just a sink and shower box encroaching on the room; house borders and second floor rooms overviews a noisy parking; you have no choice for breakfast and it is almost always the same (scrambled eggs with sausage or bacon); intermittent wifi. Overall, has some nice touches, but incommensurate with the price. Would definitely be looking for a different place in HMB the next time
