Wonderful place. I would give 10 stars or more if possible on the location. Beautiful place with nice weather. Half Moon Bay has that small town beachy vibe. Not too crowded yet close enough to visit San Francisco. Very close to a public beach. We got this place so that we could visit San Fran but honestly you could just relax in Half Moon Bay. The cottage has its own fence and we were allowed to bring our dogs along. The host left a list of popular restaurants and markets to visit. Would highly recommend to someone looking for a less crowded town on the beach to vacation. Excellent hosts.
