I had a great stay at Kathleen's and Brian's cottage. It's a small but comfortable space, incredibly cozy and clean, and the high ceiling helps make it feel bigger than it is. The cottage is very quiet with lots of privacy, and the owners were welcoming and helpful with lots of small touches like stocking the space with fresh water and snacks and providing a list of local restaurant/shopping recommendations. Location feels very safe and convenient—about a 15 minute walk to the small downtown area of San Carlos, and very close to Caltrain stops and freeways for farther trips. It's about a 30 minute drive from downtown San Francisco, San Jose, and Half Moon Bay alike. Would definitely stay here again.
