Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nice facility, room was well stocked, extra blankets provided, heater provided, and nice complimentary wine at the common area. To make this a 5-star is to stock the soap dispenser at the shower area, fix the broken hook on the back of the bathroom door, and make the breakfast just a little bit more fancy and unique.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Lovely clean place to stay and friendly accommodating staff! The fireplace and access to water/wine/teas/coffee was such a nice touch and made for a cozy and relaxing night. I stayed in the Sankaty Head room and the only complaints are this room is next to the front door so you will hear people coming/going and I found the mattress very lumpy and uncomfortable. Hearing the guest traffic outside my door was honestly manageable but the uncomfortable bed made for a sleepless night. I will definitely be back but will be booking one of the rooms that cite comfortable beds in the review.

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!!!

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!

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.
