Top Francis Beach Hotel Reviews

Nantucket Whale Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay, beautiful decor. A hair loud with other guest, but we didn’t mind."

Charming Garden Cottage- steps to historic Old Town Half Moon Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Cute and cozy home, just a few walking blocks to the 4 blocks of town that has several shops and restaurants."

BytheSea Inn

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay! We are planning to book our accommodations with ByTheSea Inn when we visit Half Moon Bay again."

Modern Coastal Retreat, Walk to Downtown HMB & Beach

10/10 Excellent

"Such a great place in a great location. Close to the beach and downtown. The house was prefect for our girls trip. Second time staying at this place and we love it!"

Mavericks Penthouse – Downtown Luxury on Main Street, Half Moon Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Great place in a downtown location."

Montara Penthouse — Elevated Comfort Above Downtown Half Moon Bay

10/10 Excellent

"The property was beautiful and very clean. The windows made it very bright and open. At night however the moonlight kept it bright making it a little difficult to sleep. Thank you for the two fans they were critical as there was no AC and it would get hot and a muggy in the room. We would air out the place when would return as it did not take long to heat up. The soaking tub was amazing. We both were able to sit in it together. A recommendation would be to add some dimmer switches in both bathroom areas. Then we can dim the lights either at the two sinks or when soaking in the tub. Set some mood lighting or not blind myself when brushing my teeth. 😀 The windows by the bed were difficult to open and close, so you may want to check those out. It is a good location, greatly appreciated the parking space. Although, people tended to ignore the sign and park tgere anyway. The restaurants near the room were fantastic. You cannot go wrong there. The Mediterranean cuisine, the deli, Chinese food to the breakfast options all tasted delicious. For two people the prices were easily over $70+ a meal, but we are on vacation. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would recommend this location to anyone."

Coastal Comfort with Short Walk to Bluffs and Beach

10/10 Excellent

"The property is in an ideal family neighborhood with a children’s park next door and brief 4 block walks west to the Pacific, 4 blocks east to Main Street, and 4 blocks north to the Safeway/CVS shopping center. The house is spacious and quiet with a beautifully fenced and landscaped backyard. This was our third two month stay and we are booked for two months in 2027."

Beach Cottage Near the Coastal Trail and the Ritz

10/10 Excellent

"VERY DOG FRIENDLY — we, and our dog, enjoyed the dog amenities. The host was easily accessible.Excellent (and quiet) location, access to trails and downtown.We enjoyed the chirping of the birds in the yard, each morning.One suggestion: for pet owners, it would be helpful to include in the manual a list of local veterinarians and pet emergency hospitals, with locations and contact phone numbers."

Small Beach Cottage near the Coastal Trail and The Ritz

8/10 Good

"We give this property a Good rating, rather than Excellent, mainly because, as it is described, it is very small. We stayed there for two weeks, which was too long for such a small place. If you have a dog, the best thing about the place is that it has a private, enclosed yard, so your dog can run and sniff off-leash."
