This is a beautiful, quaint B & B in a great area that gives you easy access to drive to the beach or horseback riding. The rooms are very clean and comfortable. Beds are very comfortable. In the evening they offer complimentary wine and cookies. The breakfast is also very good. We stayed in the suite. I highly recommend it. Oh, I should have started with the staff: very professional, kind and accommodating. They will take great care of you. I would definitely go back.Rooms: Welll kept rooms. Very comfortable, clean and romantic.

We stayed upstairs in the Nantucket Suite. They were so accommodating because we needed to add an additionsl night so they upgraded our room without a charge. Very private room with fireplace, whirlpool bath and shower, and pet friendly. Wine tasting daily, coffee maker, mini fridge and the most amazing breakfast brought to our room daily. Water bottles, creamers ,fruit and extra coffee pods available 24/7 downstairs. For the woman out there they supplied face wipes, face wet or dry towelettes and a makeup wash cloth. Gas fire place in our room and nice seating area with fire pits on the main deck. Walking distance to downtown. We really needed a relaxing experience and that is definitely what we received.

Really uncomfortable stay. First, there is zero hospitality, you call them and let yourself in. Never saw anyone. The room was bad. No ventilation, the one window is in the shower portion of the room, the shower is in the bedroom, you can't watch the tv because the desk it's on is lower than the bed frame. I finally fell asleep at 4 am so I got a good 3 hours of sleep on Christmas Eve. What a nightmare.

Very cute bed&“breakfast“ in the center of Half Moon Bay. Everything is in walking distance.The room was very cozy. Very comfortable bed, fancy shower cabin in the room.There is a lounge in the commonplace with light Jazz music and there is complimentary wine in the evening. Sounds like the perfect place for a romantic get away.Unfortunately, the service we have experienced, was not up to par to this great little house!Check in is between 4pm and 6pm but no one was there. Luckily, other guests came and let us into the house (a door code is required, which you only find out at check-in). After half an hour of waiting in the lobby, we were able to use other guests' phones to call the hotel's emergency number. The inn keeper lady then explained to us that she won't come to the check-in. Our room is on the 1st floor and we can just go in. Key on the table in the room. This is a very strange way to welcome your guests! Especially at a place like this.In addition, the included breakfast is only available between 9 and 10 a.m. Since we had an earlier appointment in SFO, we had to forego this included service. 8am breakfast is not possible due to the inflexibility of the hotel! Very sad, since we read so many great reviews about the breakfast.It's a shame for this actually great house and in the end, we‘ve got a cute room in a nice house, but no service nor breakfast… all for a substantial price tag!

We loved our stay at Nantucket Whale Inn. I was looking for a coastal place to rest our head close to San Francisco Airport after 9 days exploring National Parks. I realized I needed 2 days to relax and was able to add an additional night. The room was very comfortable, had direct tv to catch up on the world. Our breakfast was great, a yogurt parfait, eggs, sausage and toast. it was large enough that we didn't need to eat lunch. what sets this place apart for me was the late afternoon wine they set out and the common spaces. we chatted with people from the Netherlands, Sweden, and some semi local folks on a getaway. I tend to keep to myself but the outside patio was ideal for relaxing and socializing. The only downside was figuring out the tub/shower combination and getting the water at a comfortable temperature. i would most definitely stay here again

Lucky us!We had the good fortune to book our stay at the Nantucket Whale Inn during our California trip in July. The Inn exceeded our expectations in every way. The bright, window-filled Light Ship room we stayed in had every amenity imaginable and a wonderfully comfortable King size bed. Breakfast was scrumptious, the evening wine bar was a welcome respite, and the location of the Inn to Half Moon Bay's quaint downtown area with interesting shops and eateries was just perfect. So wish we had booked more nights during our trip. The room rates are quite reasonable given all the Inn has to offer. When we next visit this part of California, the Nantucket Whale Inn will definitely be on our itinerary. Thank you for such a great experience!

Great downtown location close to shopping and restaurants. We didn’t drive once during our long weekend visit. We walked everywhere, even to the beach. Delicious breakfast was served each morning. You felt safe in HMB, even walking at night. The close location to downtown and right on Main St made an ideal location. Staff accommodated and welcomed us and our two, small dogs. We would come back!

Wow! What a lovely place. We stayed in the two beautiful downstairs rooms, and spent time after dinner on the patio by the lava rock gas fire pit. Breakfast (pancakes, bacon or veggie sausage patty, and fresh fruit) was delicious. Coffee bar, crushed ice and a shared mid-sized fridge for guests to share in the entry.

What a wonderful stay! The staff at this b&b couldn't be any more accommodating. The room was lovely, super clean and well appointed. The location was very convenient, just on Main Street. While the grounds and room were amazing the staff really sealed the deal. Thank you for a memorable visit. Would love to return!

We came in with a group and I think we took up the entire house for the weekend. We had to eat all I shifts and even in the shifts the food came out individually which kind of stunk as when we are don't at different times and others had to eat so we could t socialize at the table with them. Unfortunately my husband had to be rushed to the hospital he had what we know now a mild seizure due to stage 4 glioblastoma cancer. I emailed the Inn asking if there was anyway in which we would be able to get any of our amount refunded. Not a word back from them they just ghosted the email. I will never go back nor recommend just due to the fact that they couldn't/wouldn't even reply to my email. The place isn't cheap that is for sure! So on top of an emergency room visit and this it ended up being a very expensive weekend.

My husband calls me high maintenance and picky. So when I tell you this is a good place, I mean it. We did get the largest room that's upstairs. It was perfect because it had ac and it was far away from the other rooms. We went in July where the weather is about 63 during the day. If you hate hot and humid weather get a hotel with ac because when we turned it off our room was warm. I don't think the other rooms have ac also I don't think most of the hotel in half moon bay have ac. They have a cook that makes breakfast every morning. There's free wine and coffee in the main lobby. The parking is small and fits about 4 cars and one extra car can park in the back. This place was clean. The other rooms are close distance to one another so it seems like it would be hard to get privacy because during my breakfast time, I can hear the other guests in their room. Also if people are coming through the main door I'd imagine it would wake you up in the middle of the night.

I recently had surgery so for my anniversary we decided to keep it local and relax. We landed in the beach city of Half Moon Bay at the sweetest B&B. We usually always opt for hotels but I wanted the feeling of home without being home as I recovered. I had almost forgotten the intimacy that comes with these stays. Our host was very kind and informative. The place is well kept with attention to detail. There is a relaxing outside patio with a soothing water fountain and fire pits. Complementary wine is just at your fingertips making the patio even more inviting. The weather is perfect in this area and we often just sat and talked and relaxed in the breeze. We came down for breakfast the next morning and they accommodated our dietary and as a meat replacement we were served a yummy cauliflower patty with eggs and English muffins. I almost forgot that for starters we were given a fruit bowl with lots of different fruits. Coffees, teas,creamers,orange juice, all presented and ready for you to enjoy. We took our time walking Main Street and popping into shops. The next morning we were served pancakes, vegetable sausage, and yogurt parfait. We had coffee on the patio, relaxed just a bit longer then headed back home. P.s. You are also not too far from the beach! This was the perfect way to spend our anniversary but don't wait for a "special occasion" to enjoy this place!

We noticed this establishment had a high rating but fewer reviews than the surrounding lodging businesses. We decided to give it a try expecting it to be middle of the road due to the fewer reviews. There were pros and cons. The highlight was the B&B was updated with a modern feel. The included breakfast was great. After returning home I received a customer survey. In response I took time to provide my input on the pros and cons of our stay. However there was no acknowledgment or attempt to address the couple of issues that I did provide feedback on, so it's hard to not draw the conclusion the business does not care.
