We enjoyed every minute of our stay at the purple house. Beautiful location, quiet neighborhood, and the house was so comfortable and thoughtfully decorated. We look forward to hopefully coming back here again for another peaceful staycation.

The house is in a great location for Half Moon Bay, easily walkable to the beach/gorgeous Coastal Trail, also walkable (~30 mins, or 5 min drive) to great restaurants. The house is well stocked and as described. The layout is a bit odd in that there is no bathroom accessible without going through one of the bedrooms, but it wasn’t a big deal for our group. The house was very dog friendly and our dogs loved the fenced in yard. Overall great value and amazing location!

One of our favorite AirBNBs ever, and we have a lot of experience. We had terrible weather but the place was still amazing. Absolutely perfect location and such a lovely cottage to stay in. Gorgeous, homie, with everything you’d want/need. We booked our next stay before we left!!!
