What defines the cottage style? 

The cottage look is carried out either in the building or in the interior decorating or both.  It can be vintage or modern.  The buildings are usually smaller in size, sometimes with a “storybook” feel.  Cottages can be large enough for a single family or a tiny dwelling large enough for only one person. 

Some common cottage terms

Vintage

Shabby Chic (r)

Country French

Artist retreat

The Half Moon Bay area’s quaint feel is complimentary to the cottage style.  You may find homes for sale or vacation rentals with this look and feel.  Contact me if you are looking for this style for either a home to buy, rent, or for a short term “vacation rental” stay.
