Cottage holiday rentals in Half Moon Bay

A recent stay at Robert’s home in Ben Lomond was exceptional. The property felt like home from the pictures on the wall to the books in the bookcase. The fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and toiletries was like walking into our personal family vacation home with everything clean and organized. Upon our arrival, we contacted the owner to let them know we arrived. We enjoyed a welcoming orientation of the property. The location was ideal with convenient access to stores and restaurants. We could not have selected a better place to enjoy quality family time and celebrate a graduation from UC Santa Cruz. This was a super stay and gets our highest recommendation.

Love BayGlow cottage. I think this was our forth stay. Always peaceful and beautiful. Don’t want to recommend cause it is already always booked, but it was great!

Bolinas is a special, unique, off-beat slice of heaven. Same with Charle’s cottage. If you love authentic coastal vibes, then do yourself a favor and stay here if you can. It’s the real, real. Well loved and well worn cottage that works like a charm. Hot tub, walk to beach or the Mesa, or town. Little deck to enjoy the ocean view. Ditch the phone and the clock and tap into the rhythms of nature. Thank you for sharing your magical cottage, Chuck! 🙏

Artistic and quirky house. I loved it! You have to duck a lot, but it’s super cool. <5min walk to beach or downtown.

We were so pleasantly surprised by this lovely spot! The property, location and amenities surpassed our expectations, and Shari was so welcoming and responsive. It was a perfect destination for our mini trip for our family of 4!

A wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle of the city. Great place for relaxing with the family, no electronics, just plan good conversations and lots of games. The place has everything you need down to the pots and pans, coffee makers, and the beds were better than any 5 star hotel! Excellent for our needs on this trip. Thank you!

Annie was a great host and the place was exactly as described and just what we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. We loved the hot tub in the backyard and the beach cottage feel of the place. Thank you for hosting us!

Liza's place was wonderful! I would happily book a stay at Rickett's retreat again. The location is ideal, and the place itself is lovely, and it is well represented by the listing. Liza's communications from booking to checkout were detailed, timely, and friendly. Would highly recommend a stay here!

It was a really nice stay for me and my two dogs. Extremely nice family, and nice quiet & private place. It was unlike most Airbnb’s in that everything in the interior had a personal touch, it was fully stocked to cook, every possible need, both to cook inside & out. Most AirBnB’s have a bit of an “IKEA” feel, this felt like a true guest house, decorated, quality furniture, extremely clean. The drive in was beautiful, and the unit was great to stay in.

Clean, quiet location. Lots of extra towels! Kitchen was spacious. Listing says it can sleep up to six, but I would definitely say it was comfortable for 2 adults and 2 kids and probably would be ok for a maximum of 5 people.

Overall we had a good stay at Susan’s rental. She was very nice and communicative. It was very quiet and the bed was comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals. Large refrigerator. Regular drip coffee pot. Very close to downtown Mill Valley so you can walk into town easily. There seemed to be a few other renters on this property, and our rental was the very back unit. The walkway down the length of the front house was a bit tight, with 2 gates. It was farther than we expected to load/unload bags. Just a heads up - Parking was a bit tricky because this property is on the main avenue (Blithedale).

Gem of a beachhouse, on a quiet street, just a short walk from the beach. Clean, tastefully decorated cabin and loved the peaceful back garden and front patio to enjoy the sun as well.

Amazing spot in the woods. Great hiking right out the door and our host made it easy as could be to stay. Looking forward to going back.

This sweet little artist cottage was just perfect. Mindy has put a lot of effort and energy in making sure there are so many things available for her guests: Kitchen Staples, along with different kinds of coffee and coffee makers. There were fresh eggs and beautiful chocolates, and so much more which made our stay extra special. The cottage is surrounded by a small yard and lovely trees. There is a dedicated parking spot, which was so nice. Very quiet, clean, and the furnishings are just beautiful. Will definitely book again. Thank you for being an exceptional host!

Small and cute place with a nice small yard. Worked great for us and our 2 large dogs.

Ana’s place was perfect for us! The cottage was very clean, tastefully decorated, and close to many parks and restaurants. The cottage had everything we needed to cook a breakfast and make coffee (other than that we were out). The yard was well kept and nice to have your morning coffee or glass of wine when we got back from our daily adventures. Ana was easy to communicate with, and flexible with timing since we traveled from NJ with our 4 1/2 year old daughter.

The home was beautiful, clean, and just as described. The stay was great and felt like I was home. My son enjoyed the yard and the area, he loved the views of the trees. Overall great stay

We really enjoyed our stay here—the house is just as beautiful as the photos and in a great location, super close to the beach. It had everything we needed and felt really cozy. They even provided a baby gate, which was a thoughtful touch. A few things to note for future guests: the interior doors only lock from the outside, so our kiddo could still open them even when “locked.” The curtains weren’t blackout at all, so it stayed pretty bright inside. The gate to the backyard would blow open on windy days, but there were bricks available to help keep it closed. There was also construction two doors down that started around 7:40 a.m. every day, and we did notice some hair on the bathroom ceiling, which was a bit strange. But overall, we had a great time and definitely plan to come back! The home is lovely, in a fantastic spot, and made for a great getaway.

I love Tom's place! This was my second time staying. It is a beautiful oasis. Super quiet, peaceful, comfortable space, perfect for writing, working, and rest away from the city, yet still convenient to all the amenities of Los Altos. Tom is a lovely host and goes out of his way to be accommodating. This is one of only a few affordable and high quality Airbnbs in the area. Highly recommend!

This is a great place to stay in the bay! This reminds me of how are bnb was before it became really corporate. Her space was really charming and there were a lot of extras like food and blankets.

Marcy is a great host and communicator. Molly’s Cottage is charming, clean, quiet along with close to downtown and the BART system. We were able to walk to the Lesher Center of the Arts for our granddaughter’s ballet recital and catch a terrific breakfast at Katy’s Kreek. This is such a great place we have returned multiple times, feels like home when we open the door!

The cottage was perfect for our weekend stay. We attended a festival in Napa and were close enough to get to the venue in under 30 minutes and far enough to get away from the crowds and parties at an affordable price. The cottage was the perfect size, cute, clean, private, and homie - I would definitely stay again. Susan and Tom were super responsive and great hosts.

Our stay was amazing. The house was easy to find and the instructions were very detailed. Parking was great the whole time but we were there before peak season. The location is unbeatable, perfect for going to and fro from the beach and the restaurants. The space was very inviting and clean. We had everything we needed and more, including beach toys and laundry detergent! We would definitely visit again.

We just spent 4 days at Sharon’s house and we had a great experience. Sydney, the co host was extremely attentive and answered all my questions promptly. The kitchen was full stocked and plenty of linens and towels. The neighborhood was peaceful but super close to downtown.
