Cabin holiday rentals in Half Moon Bay

We loved the woodsy backdrop and ease of the property, gated in and out, and parking. Would stay there again!!

MaryBeth and her LOVE temple are an absolute gem. Words can't describe the levels of peace, bliss, and relaxation available to you here. Would recommend to anyone looking for an oasis just an hour from the city and five minutes into town. If you have an mobility issues, just know that there are stairs to climb to reach the temple. If you're able, then climbing up to the perch is part of the fun!

Charles is a lovely, responsive host. He was upfront and honest about the glamping situation and there were no surprises. The wild garden, outdoor shower, and private hot tub were what we enjoyed most. We'll definitely be back!

Beautiful, tranquil redwood oasis just 25 minutes from Santa Cruz. Everything about this space was intentional from the softest linens and jacuzzi, to the gorgeous setting! Highly recommend.

Lovely place to stay. Kitchen and bathroom were modern and lovely. We Cooked every meal at the house and it was a breeze. The heated bathroom floor was a lovely bit of luxury. There is a house close by, i didn't quite realize how close, honestly it wasn't a problem at all. Heard a saxophone being played at 6am briefly..once. If you an overly private person, perhaps the other house is a bit close, but, honestly it's also fine. Overall, wonderful place to stay, we felt extremely relaxed.

Thank you so much! We had a wonderful time in your beautiful cabin! It was a pleasure to meet you!

Hands down the best Airbnb we've visited. Very secluded and gorgeous property. The property is special and well-appointed. We loved the private beach. A great getaway from the hustle and bustle. Emkay was extremely friendly and helpful. They worked very hard to make this area a great stop on the journey. The unit was small and cozy, but it had everything we needed. We'll be back again.

Had such a great time staying in the Jazmine cabin. It is quite small, but expected. There are so many things to explore and see within walking distance and food is a 5 to 10 minute drive into town (I fell in love with the small town of Soquel). Emkay and Lara were amazing hosts, it's a bonus they live on the property. Which by the way is so zen and beautiful. I can't say enough about the "beach" area, it is so peaceful. Emkay and his family were so lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. We took our 2 little dogs and they had a blast exploring the property. I will be back. Thank you Emkay and Lara, see you soon!

Ila's place was very nice. My husband and I were there to spend the Christmas Holidays with family. It was neat, clean, exactly as described and very comfortable. The area was very safe, quiet and close to many amenities. Ila was very responsive each and every time! It made everything very easy. While I can see that the drive way may be difficult for some, Ila's instructions were excellent and easy to follow. We really liked that the space was private. The bed was very comfortable which was very welcome after a cross country late night flight. We found her place to be very clean and she added many extras such as Christmas lights and flowers. The extra touches always make you feel at home. We would be happy to go back to Ila's place. Thank you! Donna and Robert

Very nice place, very comfortable and had everything we needed. Host was very nice, quick to respond and took care of everything we needed. Very beautiful area surrounded by redwoods and very private. Would definitely stay again.

Our stay at Brookes home was great! The space was incredibly clean and comfortable. We felt very comfortable and safe. I wish I could have stayed longer, but the space was beautiful outside even after the storm. We had a small hiccup trying to get the lock to work, but Brooke was super fast with her response & helped us get in quickly. 10/10 would stay again!

Cute beachy cottage, very peaceful and a short walk to an ocean view! Christina was very responsive and we had no issues finding the place or during our stay. A good distance to visit Point Reyes and Muir Woods!

Staying at this cabin nestled in the heart of a redwood grove in the Santa Cruz mountains was truly magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this wasn't just a place to stay — it was a carefully curated experience. The host has thought of everything to make guests feel at home and beyond comfortable. The attention to detail was incredible: high-quality toiletries, a well-stocked pantry with essentials (and then some!), soft, luxurious bedding, and even thoughtfully placed candles that added a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. Every touch felt intentional and generous. What truly set this stay apart, though, was the host. Incredibly accommodating, kind, and flexible — they went out of their way to ensure every one of our needs was met with care and promptness. It’s rare to come across someone so committed to hospitality. Waking up surrounded by towering redwoods, with birdsong filtering through the trees, was unforgettable.

I can’t say enough great things about my stay (over a month long) at Lola’s place! It was absolutely beautiful, tranquil and had a huge yard for my two dog to run around and explore. Lola was always very responsive and friendly. Great escape from the city life but only moments away from Redwood City and Menlo Park. Will absolutely stay here again if the opportunity arises. Don’t miss this rare gem!

We loved our stay at Victoria’s Novato cabin! We were in town for a wedding, and it was the perfect space for our group of 4 (though it could have easily/ comfortably fit and slept more). The home was quiet and peaceful, and beds were comfortable, and the kitchen was well stocked! We were all over Marin and Sonoma counties during our week-long stay, and nothing ever felt too far. Easy access to the 101, so easy access to get all over northern CA. Overall, this hike was a great space that fit all of our needs!

We had a great stay at this cozy cabin in the Redwoods. What a beautiful location, of course the pictures do not do it justice. Literally nestled in the center of towering redwoods. The kids loved the swingset, art room, game room and of course exploring the yard for banana slugs. The cabin was much bigger than we expected, we definitely plan on returning in the future. Thank you Kristy!

Robin’s Nest was such a beautiful getaway! Settled in the peaceful redwood forest above Santa Cruz (I rode my bike into town, which was fun!), it was a great place to escape the bustle, but close enough to enjoy some of the city’s amenities, food and culture. The bed was comfortable, kitchen was stocked, and the front deck/yard was such a lovely place for breakfast and morning coffee. I definitely plan on coming back when I need another escape!

Beautiful place, right by Tomales Bay. Very calm, quiet and relaxing. Caroline and Clara are wonderful hosts. Prompt and clear in their communication. Would most definitely come back. Note for future renters : The nearest gas station is about 7.5 miles away

Thank you for extremely helpful directions, your cabin is as advertised, we enjoyed the peace and quiet of the cabin, very relaxing. As a host you are very attentive to our needs, we felt like we call on you at anytime and you would be there, thank for the unique experience. Paul

The Santa Cruz A-frame was such a serene retreat into the mountains for us, and an antidote to our overly digital and urban lives. Things we appreciated: easy parking, both an upstairs and downstairs bathroom, full kitchen supplies, private balcony, gorgeous forest views, creek in the back, and easy access to Loch Lomond (peddle boating on the lake was so peaceful), the redwood state park (hiking in the largely shaded trail was great on an otherwise sunny day), and local groceries and food (enjoyed the cute outdoor patio in the back of The Grove cafe and bakery). We had a wonderful rest!

Katy was kind and friendly! Met my dad and I and shared common hometowns! Beautiful and peaceful get away. I highly recommend to families, friends and all… loved the mama energy and I will definitely feel blessed to stay again!!! Thank YOU Katy!

Kathleen’s place was exactly right for our needs, and the cottage’s vibe really resonated with us. The cottage is really unique.And we were there touched that Kathleen even tuned the piano!!

We really enjoyed our stay! The neighborhood is so peaceful and Noelle's yard is absolutely gorgeous. The bed was comfortable and we loved waking up and seeing tree-covered hills out the window. And the cat, Kiwi, was so sweet and friendly!

After staying at several Airbnbs over the past few weeks on a family road trip, we agreed that Dennis and Amy's thoughtful details made this the best airbnb experience of the trip. It was so clean, comfortable, and cozy. The garden created a peaceful ambiance, and our son had a blast sleeping in the loft. The great coffee, books, and games were also a big plus for us! Thank you, Amy and Dennis!
