Upscale cottage: First block from the beach

Welcome to our lovely cottage in Half Moon Bay. Quaint from the outside, it is comfortable, stylish and well appointed on the inside. It is located in a quiet neighborhood in the first block off the ocean and is just a 5 minute walk or bike ride from the historic downtown. It has versatile appeal: enjoy a romantic week or weekend for two or invite another friend or another couple.

The house has a very versatile appeal : enjoy a romantic weekend for two or invite another friend or two. While it has a romantic feel to, it is at the same time very practical for family with young children or for family with teenagers. Because we are grandparents a toddler and babies, we have a few items that make it easier if you travel from afar ( porta-cribs and high chair etc... see photos)

The House:

Bright dinning room with beautiful DWR glass table opens to a large deck where you can enjoy your morning coffee, a great book with tea or an evening glass of wine.

The kitchen is very well appointed. If you can't find it you don't need it:). Bar/table with two stools where one can talk to the cook or hang out while making a nice dinner.

Green Leaf grocery store with organic produce a short ride or a walk away. You can buy fresh fish or crab at the fish market at the port or buy directly off the boat. Beautiful farmers market on Saturday also very close by.

Master bedroom has a comfortable queen size bed and a small deck leading to a private side yard .

Second bedroom has two twin beds that can come together as a king size bed ( let us know in advance)
Beautiful wallpaper on one wall hung by David's son Robin Jerome (Stuckupwallpaper company)

Living room with TV, couch and two nice chairs. Cabinet lighting gives a warm light for a romantic and relaxing evening.

Amenities:

Ping pong table

Board games.

2 side yards area with picnic table and lounge chairs off the large deck on one side and lounge chairs on the other where you can play petanque/boules.
Large parking area in driveway.

More:

500 steps to the coastal trail and 7 minutes walk from two State park Beach: Poplar beach on one side and Half Moon Bay State beach on the other..

If you like, you can hike to the Ritz Carlton Hotel and enjoy a plentiful, famous brunch on Sunday or get breakfast any day. 3.5 miles hike away. 10 minutes drive.

If you want to cook, Green Leaf Market is around the corner, featuring local organic produce. And of course, don't miss the Farmer's Market on Saturdays (a 10 minute walk).
For Chocolate lover, Sweet 53 in the building next to the farmers market makes chocolate equal if not superior to the best Parisian Chocolaterie ( I can say so because I am French:). If you get there early enough, you can also get, during the stone fruit season, a tart that this expert Swiss owner makes herself and that are absolutely to die for and in limited supply.

Restaurants: Flying fish, Pasta Moon, Mesa Luna in Half Moon Bay and La Costanera in Princeton, and of course, the Ritz Carlton.



Entire beach house with large deck, large landscaped back and side yard and outdoor furniture for your relaxation) situated in the sunny desirable Alsace Lorraine neighborhood; as you head north the beach towns are oftentimes shrouded in fog. This private home is on the west-side of Hwy 1 a half mile south of Highway 92. Easy in, easy out, and walking distance to the best of everything. Sit outside and experience the ocean air, enjoy a short 1 block walk to either the best beaches in the bay area or 6 blocks to quaint Half Moon Bay shops and restaurants. Walk the coastal trail south along the ocean to the Ritz-Carlton and treat yourself to a sparkling beverage or brunch.

Bring your binoculars for the whales and dolphins (although they come close enough to see without them). The fall gray whale migration is one of the world's most magnificent and accessible wildlife spectacles.

We installed a compact carbon water purifying to make sure you drink healthy water and that your coffee and tea taste particularly good.

Smoking is not allowed in the house or anywhere on the property. We strive to create a setting that is comfortable, clean, organized and clutter-free for everyone to enjoy.

Guests beyond four (4) maximum registered are not permitted except for short daytime visits.

Please tell us more about yourself, any guests that will join you and your plans.

a corner of paradise!
We had a wonderful stay at the beach bungalow. The property was immaculate and very close to the trail that leads out to the beach. The deck and awning were inviting and we spent a great deal of time outdoors enjoying the peace and quiet. The bungalow had everthing we needed for a restful stay. While the bathroom is tight it worked well for us. Th neighborhood was quiet and had large manicured homes. Lovely property.

Just perfect
A friend and I spent 4 peaceful days here enjoying the house in a beautiful neighborhood, the location being so near the water, the coastal trail, the sunsets and the cruiser bikes. Just perfect. Thank you.
