I came to Meg's place partly for a writing retreat, partly to isolate after my partner contracted COVID. So I wasn't quite on vacation :). But Meg was so sweet and understanding of my situation. She brought me a good desk chair and an extra pot since I was doing most of my cooking in the house and she even bought me a couple of squashes and some gorgeous farmer's market flowers. Oh and she brought me a stack of extra books about an artist I really love! So -- hospitality is over the top. And Marie, the woman who takes care of the place, is very kind too. The place is cozy -- yes, it is small and as others have said, it is an older home with the quirks that come along with that (I happen to like this!) - - but it also really feels like a home and was just the right size for me. It's right downtown, but hidden away by a garden full of flowers so you feel like you're quite away from the busyness of summer tourists. New Leaf is down the road for groceries, the state beach is very close, and you can walk everywhere. And just a plug: check out the Half Moon Bay library and the bookstores! I know libraries are not often tourist destinations, but this one really should be. I really enjoyed my stay here and would definitely return. And am infinitely grateful to Meg for helping to make this week away feel a little more like a vacation/retreat.
