Family-friendly holiday rentals in San Francisco Bay Area

Yeshi's home is a museum of colorful artwork from her travels around the world. Wonderful to be lulled to sleep by the ocean waves.

I stayed five nights at Lisa’s Airbnb and honestly didn’t want to leave! The hosts were super respectful of our privacy, and the space itself was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully stocked with everything you could possibly need. There were even dog beds and bowls for our fur baby, which was such a nice touch. The location is tucked into the trees with gorgeous surroundings. I loved starting my mornings with breakfast on the back deck, fire pit crackling, birds singing, it was serenity. While I didn’t try the hot tub, the sauna was a great treat. And let’s not forget Scooter, the resident cat. He is an absolute sweetheart who’ll reward your affection with loud, happy purrs. Highly recommend if you're looking for a peaceful, pet friendly escape in nature with all the comforts of home. I will book with Lisa again.

Great comfy place. I would recommend bringing your own pillows

We had a wonderful vacation at Joanna’s place! Ocean views are incredible, hot tub was amazing, private beach that is a less than a minute drive to the private beach access! The private beach was incredible! So many seal 🦭 pups, anemones, starfish, crabs, and more! We love this area and continue to come back to visit! We stayed 7 nights here and felt like home. We brought our old cat with us and he settled in nicely. Kitchen had great appliances and supplies to use! Lots of cute small towns and excellent hiking/walking trails to explore! This was a wonderful family vacation that our son was absolutely loving especially private beach for exploring. We explored several recommendations from Joanna’s manual that were awesome. She was also quick to respond and be helpful! We highly recommend coming to stay at Joanna’s home for beautiful relaxation and fun exploration! Thank you so much! 😊

Ryan and James were available and responsive. The cottage was well appointed and immaculate. It was obvious that quite a bit of thought went into the amenities and decor. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The views! Looking over the Russian River where it empties into the Pacific Ocean was awesome! We will be back.

Patricia's beautiful beach house exceeded our expectations and more! The panoramic ocean views and wrap around deck made us feel like we were floating on the ocean. The home was really well equipped with everything we needed. We really enjoyed the hot tub and playing some games that were available for us to use. We could easily walk to Dillon Beach from the house to enjoy the sunshine. The home was very clean and cozy and Patricia was very kind and responsive. Highly recommend for a family beach vacation.

The place was amazing!! My family and I have stayed at 2 properties by Russian River Getaways and both are simply magical! This is the perfect place to have a relaxing retreat. The patio was built right along a babbling brook which is the perfect sound track to a nature filled weekend. Opening the windows at night to hear it allowed us to have amazing sleep each night. I especially enjoyed the trail around the brook and spring. You can go further up into the mountain than you'd expect on the property. There's a hammock and lots of chairs and tables at scenic parts along the trail. There's even an outdoor cot perfectly placed for a mid day nap next to the stream. Obviously, the hot tub led to a perfect ending each evening on such an enjoyable vacation of hiking and wine tasting. If you love the outdoors, wine and a peaceful atmosphere than this is the perfect area for a getaway and you can't go wrong with this lovely rustic retreat being your homebase!

Beautiful garden and within walking distance to the ocean. The hot tub was lovely and the accommodations were as described. They have oatmeal, coffee, and tea available!

This was perfect for our 4-night vacation in San Francisco. Melissa was helpful for questions about places to eat and how to use the fire pits on the beach just north of there. We would absolutely stay here again, with everything we needed and such a short walk to the ocean.

The place was perfect for our stay. Spacious and has everything we need. Wrich was responsive and helpful.

⸻ I had such a wonderful two-week stay at the farm. From the moment I arrived, everyone was incredibly friendly—especially the sweet little black cat named Teva, who wore a green collar and quickly became a favorite companion. Toni was so kind and responsive, always making sure everything was just right. The farm felt very safe and peaceful throughout my stay. Being in a cabin on a farm, a few bugs are to be expected, but it wasn’t an issue—I came prepared with essential oils, which worked well to keep them at bay. The cabin itself is cozy and compact, but the many windows let in so much natural light that it felt bright and open. The shower was great too—good water pressure and ventilation, though it might be a bit snug for some. Overall, it’s a lovely little escape—close enough to San Jose for convenience, but with a feeling of peaceful seclusion that makes it feel like a true retreat.

The place was very nice. We have kids & grandkids in the Bay Area and like to visit as often as possible. The place was clean and comfortable but most of all very welcoming. And Ramil reached out to make sure our needs were met. If the need arises we would definitely stay there again

We had such a lovely time at Paulette’s. Her house was incredibly clean and so stylish. We wanted a private, quiet and serene getaway and this place was perfect! The views from the back decks are outstanding and pics don’t do it justice! Paulette was super communicative and a wonderful host!

Casa Relaxo is the perfect mountain getaway in the midst of wine country. We spent our days visiting vineyards and tasting wine and our nights barbecuing and enjoying the wines we had purchased during the day under the stars. The unit is a secluded, peaceful cabin that I hope I’ll have the good fortune to return to one day.

We stayed at Nick's place for a weekend while we attended a wedding. It was a perfect place to retreat after the day's events. We loved the scenic surroundings and peaceful nature. Nick was communicative and sent along great instructions for check in and amenities.

stayed at the house several times before. wonderful place and great location. very well equipped. in other words, perfect!

Our stay at Lori and Mike’s place was absolutely fantastic, and Lori truly made it unforgettable. While Mike was away on a trip, Lori went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—and more. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so welcome. She was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in creating a comfortable, personalized experience. She checked in with us just enough to make sure we were all set and shared amazing local tips that really made our trip extra special. Her kindness, attention to detail, and friendly energy made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Thank you so much, Lori—you’re truly one of a kind!

The best in San Rafael, plenty of parking and a kayak . Gina is wonderful our guests arrived early so I was asking Gina for early check in Gina response yes right a way Thank you very much. Our guests so happy to stay at your beautiful house. We definitely come back to your beautiful house again! Thanks again Gina

Amy was the perfect host. She was kind and responsive. Great location and beautiful view. We will stay here again!

Eliza's place was wonderful for us (two parents and a 4 month old baby) for a weekend - we had everything we needed and it was incredibly easy to check in and out. Eliza and her family were there and great to spend time with, but we also felt we had space to ourselves to rest and relax. We will hopefully be back!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Happy House! The pool was large and fantastic, perfect for relaxing. The kitchen was beautiful and very well stocked with everything we needed. The house was spotless, and the neighborhood felt quiet and safe. Both the garden and front yard were lovely, and the pool area was especially private thanks to the high fence. Brook was incredibly friendly, always checked in to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay, and promptly answered all our questions. She was very helpful throughout our visit. Highly recommend!

I’ve been eyeing Cena and Roger’s place for well over a year and had tried to book another time when it wasn’t available. This year I finally was able to stay and I honestly didn’t want to leave. What a special, unbelievably delightful stay it was. I’m a huge nature nerd and the amount of flowers and greenery made it feel like Hawaii. Tropical paradise. Complete with birds and lizards flirting about. This trip I was in town mostly for Bottlerock but I ended up just lounging around most of my mornings, reading and slowly getting ready for the day. It was hard to leave to go out every day because the property is that peaceful and beautiful. I am so thankful I got to enjoy this stunning space and cannot wait to hopefully stay there again. Roger and Cena are lovely, sweet people. They’ve made this their own little slice of heaven, which they so graciously share with others. Fabulous experience. Thank you!

Great find in Sonoma! Well located with easy walks but in a peaceful neighborhood. Plenty of space for our four women on a girls’ trip!

During my stay at Joann’s place, I felt safe and very comfortable. The whole home is bright and spotlessly clean, with greenery visible outside the windows. Parking was very convenient, and communication with her was smooth throughout. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing me to cook and enjoy a good glass of red wine. The sofa was cozy and the bed was spacious. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a wonderful place—thank you!
