The California sunsets are breathtaking they are directly in front of you every day of the year. At times the colors of the sunsets seem to radiate colors through you.

Each of the two cottages on the property has its own small private deck with comfortable outdoor lounge chairs & ottomans, situated to enjoy unobstructed ocean view 24/7.

Two cottages are situated on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean and unspoiled Fitzgerald Marine Reserve. There is a common garden area located an appropriate distance from each cottage to enable privacy. The shared area offers a comfortable outdoor sofa and lounge chairs.

Fall asleep to the sound of ocean waves on the beach below. Wake up to the sound of seagulls in the distant sky. Sip your morning cup of java on the beach, it's only a 2-minute walk from your front door, or sit in bed and enjoy your private oceanfront view.

Our Sea Glass Cottage was built in 1906. This location was a destination spot for weekenders in the early 1900's. Guests traveled by train from San Francisco and Santa Cruz to visit this amazing place referred to as 'Nye's Reef'. At one time the property boasted a restaurant, hotel, bunk houses, and a tavern. Most of the buildings are still standing. This oceanfront cottage has been visited by many well-known individuals over the years including Jack London and Luther Burbank. A little inspiration! The setting makes it ideal for couples or individuals seeking solitude and serenity on the San Mateo Coast overlooking at the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve.

Nearby:
- Fitzgerald Marine Reserve (2-minute walk). Explore tide pools, watch sea lions napping on the rocks in the natural bay.
- 100 year-old forest (2-minute walk)
- Seal Cove Beach, a hidden gem (7-minute walk)
- Historic distillery restaurant (10-minute walk)
- Mavericks surf break (20-minute walk)
- Princeton Harbor for boating, kayaking, restaurants, shopping, or pampering spa. Pick up fresh fish from the local fisherman at the Princeton Harbor Pier for that gourmet seafood dinner you've been dreaming of creating! (3 miles)
- Half Moon Bay, quaint & historic town (6 miles)

Please no weddings, receptions or parties.

The beauty here will astound you. When our guests arrive and open the gate, everyone has the same reaction... 'Wow, this is unbelievable!'

We hope to soon welcome YOU to this breathtaking location and the Sea Glass Cottage.

Aloha, ~Carol & Jerome

Best Summer Ever
We stayed at the Sea Glass Cottage for just over a month this summer and it was one of my most memorable summer experiences. The location cannot be beat. Fall asleep and wake up to the ocean right outside your window and enjoy all of your meals with a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean at your feet. An excellent Wifi signal extends all the way to the outdoor seating area so you can work and relax at the same time. Nearby beaches abound and we found multiple dog-friendly beaches nearby (driving distance). The nearby Marine Preserve is fascinating but does limit activity for humans and dogs alike (for good reason - there is a colony of seals and protected marine species who live there!). Walk to the nearby distillery, Seal Cove (also a Marine Preserve) and trailheads that wind through the bluffs overlooking the ocean to Pillar Point. (NOTE: the bridge connecting Moss Beach to these areas was damaged and technically impassable while we were there - many people crossed it anyway). The cottage itself is incredibly cozy and comfortable. You have everything you need in a small space and, with the Pacific Ocean as your outdoor living room, you don’t feel the need for more. Carol is an exceptional and responsive host. She has thoughtfully decorated and appointed the cottage with beautiful and tasteful furnishings and excellent organization for “tiny living”. The bed is very comfortable and there is plenty of “workspace” if needed. Thank you again! We will definitely be back!

Spring 2023 at Moss Beach
Beautiful cottage at fantastic location. We really enjoyed our time here and didn’t want to leave. Watched many gorgeous sunsets and was fortunate to be here after the wettest winter for a decade which meant our hikes were through colorful fields of spring flowers. Great location to explore the peninsula. We would highly recommend staying here.

Fabulous stay!
Sea Glass Cottage met our needs perfectly. We (two people, two dogs) especially enjoyed the cool weather during Bay Area heat waves, along with the gorgeous ocean views and sounds of crashing waves. Taking a beautiful five mile hike at Pillar Point Bluff right from the cottage was something we loved doing every morning. Many thanks to our wonderful hosts Carol and Jerome!

The cottage was a wonderful surprise. So serene with all the amenities I needed. It was a privilege to have such a beautiful view and hear the waves. Plus, the hiking trails and tide pools are not to be missed. Carol and Jerome were perfect hosts! Heartily recommended!

Awesome View!
We enjoyed our month long stay at Carol & Jerome's cottage! The view was just beautiful! The cottage was cozy & very well equipped. The king bed is SO comfy we slept like babies. Even though the property is shared by 2 other families it still felt very private & was very quiet. Moss Beach is a very friendly small town which we loved! We would definitely recommend Sea Glass Cottage to anyone & have put it on our list to visit again if Carol & Jerome will have us. Dale & Pam Nickel

This is a beautiful setting, and a darling cottage with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The view is unbeatable, nothing in the world can compare! Carol and her husband Jerome are warm and welcoming hosts, and very responsive to requests. Sunsets, moonsets, stars, tide pools, waves and breeze and sun and coastal flowers. Can't find the words to say how great this month was!

What a wonderful little cottage. Thank you for allowing us to stay with you. I am looking forward to coming back when it is a bit warmer. You are a lovely host. Your cottage is adorable and was just the right fit. I hope we turned the heater off!
