Top Poplar 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!"

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."

Affordable Ground Floor Unit In The Heart Of HMB Downtown: Former Mayor's House

8/10 Good

"The location is great. Nice little place for a beach getaway. The host responds quickly. If I had any suggestions, I'd make a few modern upgrades."

Miramar Penthouse – Coastal Elegance in the Heart of Half Moon Bay

10/10 Excellent

"We happened to be there on a warm weekend (rare in Half Moon Bay), and air conditioning would have made it more comfortable. However, on the second night, we found better spots for the portable fans and made it much more comfortable. Additionally, it is not a fully equipped kitchen; there is one hot plate and no oven. Overall, it was a GREAT location and perfect for my furry babies, and we all had a wonderful time."
