Cute charming B&B
The room was small but cozy. It was my first time at a bed and breakfast and I really loved it! The breakfast was really yummy and the overall atmosphere was quite charming! Wish there was a little More parking though.

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!

Sweet Bed & Breakfast
Lovely Inn that's actually a Bed & Breakfast! The service was fantastic- from the Emily at check in to the hostess at breakfast. They were delightful. The location is great - not in the middle of Main St where the foot traffic is, but super close to walk to everything on Main St.

Wonderful Property. Close to downtown and fun!
David, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Clean and well-appropriated.
Impeccable taste in decor. Attention to detail in service and amenities. Our one concern— our room had a claw foot tub, but no access to soap or body wash. All other details, even including cork screw and champagne stopper in the room— were outstanding.

This property was awesome! We loved so much about it! Super clean, very quaint, so adorable, close to Half Moon Bay Main Street with cute shops and restaurants. The staff was sooo nice and we got our own tour of the property and our room and anything else we would need. The breakfast was so wonderful. Would definitely recommend this place!!!

Whale of a time
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!

Lovely property with comfortable accommodations. Decor was understated luxury and staff was great. Breakfast was nice. Parking was free and easy. We were able to walk less than 5 min to a delicious dinner at Pasta Moon.

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.
