Sweet Bed & Breakfast

Lovely Inn that's actually a Bed & Breakfast! The service was fantastic- from the Emily at check in to the hostess at breakfast. They were delightful. The location is great - not in the middle of Main St where the foot traffic is, but super close to walk to everything on Main St.

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!!!

Whale of a time

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.
