Our ferry sailing was cancelled, and there was no problem arranging new time. The double unit was spacious, private and we enjoyed listening and seeing the birdlife nearby. Definitely recommend to friends.

Bay Motel is located on a hill overlooking Half Moon Bay. Our suite was spacious, clean, well-appointed and very comfortable. It also had a nice balcony off the main room to enjoy the lovely view. Jeff and Helen were gracious hosts with Jeff picking us up at the ferry terminal and returning us upon check-out. Couldn't really ask for more!
