Quaint, cozy, and quiet place high on the hill. It feels almost forest-like, hidden away and surrounded by eucalyptus trees. We've stayed in HMB several times, at many different hotels; however, this was our best stay aside from our wedding.
This place has a beach-feel, but located a few minutes from the beach. Take note that you cannot walk or access the beach from this property, but the interior decor makes it feel as if you're right there. The entire space is clean and inviting. The furniture is super comfy and I got the best night's sleep I've had in a very long time. The deck is one of the best parts of the stay. We saw deer, an array of birds, gray foxes, and hawks. The energy was so peaceful and positive; I could've actually stayed inside the entire time. There is plenty of room to park and the neighborhood is filled with friendly folks who walk their dogs. We were able to be adventurous and not feel limited to our usual spots.
Just down the hill is Breakwater BBQ (we went three times), Sam's Chowderhouse, and minutes away from the harbor or downtown. We even had a pizza delivered from Verrazano's.
Ryan is super responsive and accommodating. Check-in was seamless. Don't pass up this gem, or I just might book it again!
