Whale of a time
The cutest little B and B. Close to the beach for an evening stroll. Quiet with modern updates. Wine bar in the evening and breakfast in the morning. Couldn't have asked for a better getaway!

Loved our stay at The Nantucket Whale Inn
The Inn is walking distance to downtown Half Moon Bay stores and restaurants. Comfortable bed and very nice breakfast. Innkeeper and staff are very cordial.

6/10 Good

mixed bag priced as luxury
the good - nice little house on the outskirts of Half Moon Bay, outdoor patio with three tables with build in firerings (and several without); nice ambiance; nice living /breakfast room on the ground floor; coffee available all day and wine in the evenings. the bad - rooms are very small and had virtually no storage, one small cupboard for hanging clothes, we had to keep everything in our suitcases; no bathrooms, just a sink and shower box encroaching on the room; house borders and second floor rooms overviews a noisy parking; you have no choice for breakfast and it is almost always the same (scrambled eggs with sausage or bacon); intermittent wifi. Overall, has some nice touches, but incommensurate with the price. Would definitely be looking for a different place in HMB the next time

Lovely property with comfortable accommodations. Decor was understated luxury and staff was great. Breakfast was nice. Parking was free and easy. We were able to walk less than 5 min to a delicious dinner at Pasta Moon.

Always enjoyed the property. The coziness of the rooms and the garden. Breakfast is always great! And the jacuzzi in our room worked fantastic. But this time their were other occupants that were noisy all night, and our mattress was very uncomfortable. So this was disappointing. Maybe a room with a king bed would be more comfortable.

Great place to stay in downtown HMB!
Super cute, clean, and conveniently located b&b! We loved being able to walk the couple blocks to downtown HMB to get coffee in the morning or to grab dinner or a beer! The beach is also only about a 15-20 minute walk away. The host was very warm and friendly, and theres a cook that makes the included breakfast and you get to choose what time you want to eat. There’s a fully stocked coffee/tea bar, as well as free wine in the afternoon which was a super nice touch! It also has a nice patio area with fire pits, and a whole cupboard full of games. There’s also a small closet area with an ice maker and small fridge. Our room itself was beautiful with full windows on 2/4 of the walls, bed was clean and comfy. The water in the shower does take while to get hot but otherwise shower was nicely renovated and clean.

The noisy was kids yelling yelling!!! I didn't pay $663.00 a night to listen to kids yelling. There was a hair in the bed!!

Bathroom in hallway for $500
We just paid nearly $500 to spend the night in a hotel room where our bathroom was in the hotel hallway. The owners included a deceptive description and photos online of the “Miacomet” room. Why not be upfront that the “private bathroom” for this room is accessed through the shared hallway of the hotel? Your guests are going to find out when they get here!? The rest of the experience was ok - not great.
