Could not believe the atmosphere, sounds of the sea, seals at night, views, fog horn watching over us. It was truly the most exotic vacation we have taken in years. Just came back from Italy and this beats it by far with the accommodations, privacy, quietness, and beauty of sights and sounds. you are missing something if you do not go to Inn at Mavericks. Are making plans to return in the fall and at Xmas with grown kids. Only if you like privacy, quiet, and seclusion should you go.
The Inn at Mavericks served as a perfect "baby moon" for my husband and I. Everything good that has been said is so very true, it is such a special place. The room was so large and comfortable with great personal touches. The bathroom is out of this world. As a pregnant woman I especially loved the complimentary snack basket left in our room. I wasn't bothered by the fog horn at all, as the previous reviews have stated it only serves to remind you how close to the water you are. I can't say enough about this place!
Relaxing, comfortable, romantic with a spectacular view of the beach from the bed! It was easy to book the room and the service was great. The bed is SOOOO comfortable, you can sleep all day! We were walking distance from several restaurants, breakfast place, hiking trail. DVD, the big TV screen and wireless if you can't live without it. For coffee aficionados, bring your own coffee maker & coffee grounds. We will come back to visit again! It was very relaxing!
Arrival at the Inn at Mavericks was perfect. Ample parking surrounded by beautiful trees and flowers. Once in the room, the view is well worth the visit. It was absolutely stunning. Overlooking the harbor and beach below, without foot traffic outside your patio. Comfortable relaxing chairs and soft surf to chase away any stress. Nearby restaurants within walking distance. Sit back, relax and forget your cares. Will return again soon.
I first learned of Inn at Mavericks via TripAdvisor...and SO glad I did. I very much enjoyed it. Room was lovely, view was great. Very private. The room was very nice and modern...I have no idea why some other reviews worry about the foghorn, as it was not loud enough to be any inconvenience whatsoever, in fact rather comforting to hear off in the distance. I would absolutely return to to this Inn...in fact, can not wait to!
“Excellent stay! Only wish it could have been longer!!!” Accommodations and hospitality was excellent! We checked in late and our room key was waiting us in the designated spot. Cleanliness was exceptional, bathroom was bright and clean with amazing soaking tub and great shower, soft robes as well. Comfy bed, nice gas fireplace, wonderful view of the bay, a few snacks (a good variety!) and waters were left upon check-in and very much appreciated after a long day of travel! Dining area, mini-fridge, microwave and single serve coffee maker round out the large and relaxing room. Large deck area was a pleasure for this east coaster to watch the sun rise and the glow over the sailboats early in the morning. The inn is walking distance to town for a bite to eat, a few drinks or just a stroll through this great town. We explored the beach the next morning and were delighted by the binoculars left in the room we could use to watch the amazing waves at Mavericks breaking just around the point from the Inn. There is mention of a fog horn that can easily be heard throughout the Half Moon Bay area but after an hour I honestly didn't even hear it anymore. If you stay anywhere at Half Moon Bay you will hear it but don't let that deter you from this great small inn with first class service! We also enjoyed the easily accessable high speed internet with no added charges! Thanks for an exceptional stay, we'd love to return!
“This place was EXACTLY what we were looking for...” What a great place to getaway. We are just over the hill but felt a million miles away from the stress and worry of everyday life. This is the perfect hideaway. Quiet, close to shopping and restaurants if you wanted to do that, yet secluded enough that you felt like you had the whole oceanfront all to yourselves! We were looking to go somewhere with a fireplace, a nice huge tub and a view, and that's exactly what we got. No noise, no neighbors or traffic bothering you (the staff was almost unseen) but very welcoming, really comfortable room - loved the blankets and the bed) and will definitely be coming back here. Just left yesterday and have already told many friends 
I was pleasantly surprised by this quaint Inn. I have been visiting the Half Moon Bay area for many years, and decided that this year I would set my sites on room accommodations near or on the water. The choices in Half Moon Bay are limited but for the price of this spectacular little Inn, it is worth the minor upgrade from the mainstream chain hotels. Gorgeous spacious rooms all with a view!!! It was incredibly enjoyable to fall asleep to the soft coo of the fog horn. I would suggest this Inn to any couple looking for a quaint getaway for the evening!
We really enjoyed our stay. The view is amazing, bed extremely comfortable, beautiful bathrrom, and each room has its own little backyard to sit and relax. There is a trail to the mavericks(big surfer waves) right down the road. Our host was very helpful(I forgot his name). He had great referrals for restaurants and there is an assortment of complementary snacks in your room when you arrive.
The room was more than your usual room, spacious, cozy and very well decorated. The bed was so comfortable, it is one of the only time I went through my typical 6am waking up time...Very clean and newly renovated with style...The view is awesome, very relaxing and the location is great, 5 minute walk to restaurants and a 20 minute walk to the famous Mavericks wave...sunset was out of this world from our room!!! There was all kinds of birds, hummingbirds right next to our chairs outside...I will definitely go back there and if I do, I will stay at the same place...Home away from home near one of my favorite place in the world, the Mavericks...
We really enjoyed our stay at the Inn at Maverick's. We managed to schedule our trip through a pretty heavy wind/rainstorm, but it was actually kinda nice to just kick back in the room and watch the waves roll in and listen to the rain come down. The room was nice and pretty recently renovated. Everything looks new. We had a great view and there were just some thoughtful things like a free snack basket that was nice to see after a long day of driving. Stephen really took care of us and I'd say went above and beyond the call of duty to ensure we enjoyed our stay. It's a beautiful little getaway in Half Moon Bay and the price is reasonable. We'll definitely go back again and stay a bit longer next time..
Location was fantastic, right on the beach. Nice quiet area . Close to restaurants (Half Moon Bay Brewery--great food). Great new bathrooms (love the makeup mirrors--many hotels forget that!) Although other reviews mention the airport--it's a small plane/local airport with a few planes flying over during the day. Rooms below had nice yards for dogs.
This Inn is just what Half Moon Bay needed. I recently stayed here and had such a relaxing weekend with the Inn being a highlight! It has an awesome fire pit for hanging out, keeping us warm on a foggy day. The rooms are very large, big enough for me, my husband and our 2yr. son, pack-n-play and all. Though probably better for a romantic getaway, we found our room was perfect with a toddler. It had a full microwave and mini fridge for kid food prep...we felt completely at home. The bathroom was lovely, big soaking tub! We also walked to dinner both nights from the Inn and went on an awesome hike Sat. at Pillar Point.Amazing weekend at the coast, we won't ever stay anywhere else when visiting HMB! We will be going back again and again.
Very nice for a romantic get away - fireplace, soaking tub, private patio, exclusive view of the bay, plush robes. Must take a short ride to the end of the road and walk around the point to see "Mavericks" beach. Art work among the natural environment - a rock maze, carved relief in giant driftwood, "Foo" memorial rock stand. Surfers, bird watchers, fishermen and photographers are drawn to the point for their passion. Keep an eye out for slumbering sea lion.
We really enjoyed our stay, the suite was roomy, very comfortable, nicely decorated, and right on the water. Plenty of room for an active toddler to run around. Easy walk to some nearby restaurants and shops as well as a spa.
We stayed in the room called the "Dunes" and it was beautiful. Very spacious, comfortable king bed, nice big tub, great balcony with view of the harbor and decor was lovely. Had a great time and would love to stay here again.
Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at your Inn!! We were there Sept 11 and 12th.The room was huge, cozy, extremely clean, and had all the amenities one could ask for! Will definitely come back when we get to California again. Thanks!
We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed staying at the Inn for our anniversary. It was serene, relaxing and luxurious. We live just over the hill, but yet the Inn feels worlds away. We were so impressed by the Inn that we have already been talking it up to friends as a great place for a romantic escape.
The Inn at Mavericks was one of the most delightful experiences I have ever had. Inn at Mavericks is tastefully appointed, from the bathroom fixtures to the duvet cover; nothing was left out. My therapy dog Trevin absolutely loved staying here as well. It is the quintessential "pet-friendly" lodging. We both gave it "two paws up"! What a most wonderful experience and 8th birthday celebration for Trevin. We can't wait to return!
The location is amazing....quiet, sound of the fog horn, no street noise, only six rooms, but, beautiful! I was there this weekend and the rooms are just as amazing as the view. It is so quiet there you can truly get away BUT within walking distance of the harbor (where you can buy fresh fish off the boats), many restaurants, shops and boutiques. You should make a point to get to the Inn at Maverick's and check out for a few days...read a book, nap, celebrate being alive, etc. Oh, I almost forgot ..the BED..oh my gosh..it was so comfortable I could have slept for 3 days but what fun I would have missed if I had!!!
Simple, elegant tranquility. A place for long conversations. The full moon over the bay wasn't a bad touch either!
We found the Inn at Mavericks on the last day of our California holiday. Had we found it earlier, we never would have left.
What a wonderful way to start the new year! I will personally recommend this wonderful place to the Queen.
The only problem with this beautiful place is that you want to cancel all your plans and hang around this cozy room watching the ocean.
