Summer-house/OASIS on quiet street in ROCKRIDGE!
Very homey and welcoming. Family enjoyed celebrating time together in all spaces of the house, especially the back patio where our young child made believe on the well-designed pirate ship. Friendly, kind host. We walked to adorable Rockridge and BART many times. Highly recommended.

Pool, Hot tub, Napa, SFO Clean
The place was clean and beautiful. We needed a home away from home while construction was going on at our place. And found it here.

Beautiful Large 4BR Home with POOL
This spacious home was absolutely beautiful for our stay! We especially appreciated the amenities that the home provided. Specifically, the pool and vast dining spaces were a perfect match for our large family. The location was in a quiet neighborhood, central to the attractions we wanted to see including downtown San Fransisco and the Winchester house. The homeowner was great with communication throughout the booking and check in/out process. Overall, we had a lovely stay in this gorgeous home.

Little Poolside House near Downtown Mountain View!
Staying at this small house with pool was just what I needed. Enjoyed all aspects of my stay!

Silicon Valley Luxury I Sauna, Hot Tub, Pool
Beautiful property with stunning pool and nearby hikes. Comfortable bed and amenities in peaceful and quiet surroundings. Very friendly and responsive hosts. Thanks for such a wonderful stay! Would love to return again for future trips in the area!

MCM Waterfront Pool/Hot Tub between SF and Napa
Fabulous trip! We were greeted warmly by Jana and settled easily into the spaces of this large character home on a quiet cul de sac. It worked perfectly for our group of four. We loved the peaceful feeling of being on the water and the nearby pathways along the bay; it's lovely to sit outside to read and sip something. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it is very well-equipped. We got in some great hikes and meals at Mt. Tam, San Rafael, San Anselmo, Fairfax and Pt. Reyes as well as a SFMOMA day in the city. A wonderful location! Don't hesitate.

3 BR Home on Vineyard nr Palo Alto & Stanford
A lovely property to relax in and enjoy. Just what we needed after doing all the sightseeing in the first part of the holiday

Bay Area getaway w/ Pool + Heated Spa + EV charger
The house was awesome, having everything we needed, plus some nice extra touches like pool toys and snacks for a movie night. The only downside was that they had instructions to not turn the ac down past 72 and it was a very hot weekend, the house held onto a lot of heat and the bedrooms were very warm. The pool and spa were great, and we loved hanging out in the outdoor space.

Oceanfront Home in Pacifica
Airy, comfortable and immaculate place. Watched surfers, seals, whales and birds everyday.

Oceanfront Retreat🐬 with Oceanview🪂,15 mins to SF
Easy to find. Felt very private at the end of a quiet residential road. Whale Watching! - from the living room and master bedroom we could see whales. We didn't expect to be able to watch whales from the warmth of the house. We could also walk across the street and stand on the lookout and watch whales from there, as well. The closest beaches must have suffered a landslide because access was down a muddy embankment. The 2nd beach about .5miles away was lined by homeless people living in RVs - wasn't a fun walk to the farther beach. Highly recommend Moss Beach and San Pedro beach for easier access. San Pedro has a busy Taco Bell right off the parkinglot.

Muir Beach's Haiku House with Dramatic Ocean Views
What an incredible home! Beautiful location and close to great hiking trails. Kathleen was a great host!

Papillon ~ Renovated Home in Downtown San Carlos
Great location, walkable to restaurants and in a nice neighborhood to take walks with the dog. Very central in the Bay Area. Easy to get to SF or Palo Alto. Very close to Caltrain. One of the best supplied Airbnbs in terms of amenities that we’ve been to. Looks exactly like the photos inside. Both bedrooms spacious with large walk in closet spaces. We were 4 adults and 1 dog and had plenty of space.

Modern & Private 1BR w/ AC | Walk 2 Grocery, Shops
Husband and I stayed for a little less than a week and enjoyed our time! We had one compact SUV and parking was very comfortable for us. We appreciated the free snacks and water provided and slept well on the bed Saik’s instructions were easy and we would recommend this place to anyone

Spacious, Remodeled 2BR Duplex Unit by Downtown SM
Raymund's place was exactly as described and fit our needs perfectly. I appreciated how clean it was and the size was perfect. The off-street parking was key for us too. Raymund was a great host, providing clear instructions and lots of privacy. We hope to stay there again!

San Mateo Happy Haven Home w Patio/Projector
Beautifully remodeled home. The kids loved the back yard and the neighbourhood was quiet yet safe. We loved that the kitchen had a proper gas stove and all the necessary amenities to cook a meal for a family.

Cozy 2-BR Garden Bungalow w/ Parking and King Bed
This was a perfect base camp for us for our two day stay in the Bay Area as we celebrated/attended our daughter’s graduation from USF. The home looked as pictured and was very clean and the beds were extremely comfortable. The neighborhood was so cute and we loved keeping the windows open and just feeling the night breeze and felt perfectly safe to do so. The neighborhood was walkable and we found some great wats in the area too.

Nice and tranquil house 7 mins away from SFO
The place was a described and shown in the pictures. Host was kind enough to call and walk us through details and make sure to give us information we needed.

Super Private Hidden Redwood City House and Garden
A hidden gem with warmth and character, close to everything and very private at the same time. The patio and gardens under the giant redwood is filled with fig trees, tropical ferns, orchids and banana trees. Beautiful tile and stone work decorates the paths , columns and interior spaces of this charming California Bungalow. The stuccoed interior has tall ceilings and massive beams. Big barbecue and well stocked and organized kitchen

New! Charming Retreat with Hot Tub & Scenic Trails
Cute, well kept home in a nice neighborhood. Comfortable bed and the hot tub was great!

Bright Spanish-style home in Burlingame
Lauren’s place is fantastic. The remodel does a great job of matching the original architecture with updated appliances (the six burner Wolf stove, for example) and the decoration was just perfect for our taste. The location is fantastic — a short 3-4 block walk to downtown Burlingame and a Caltrain stop, close to 101 and 2-3 blocks from a nice park with tennis and pickleball courts. The only slight negative is there is some noise from planes landing at the airport nearby but it was most noticeable in the night when it could easily be blocked out with the fans in the bedrooms. The backyard is very large and the deck set up nicely for bar-b-queuing or enjoying a drink or meal outside. This is a very comfortable house and would come back without hesitation.

Sunlit 2B1B - Deck, Garden & View on Belmont hills
The second time staying in this cozy and peaceful place, this time for our extended family visiting Belmont. My 4 year old nephew and his family really enjoyed the stay. Not only the inside (which stayed cool even though it was early summer), but also the sunny backyard was really great. Lacey was responsive for any questions they had. Thank you for hosting us again!

SanMateo Comfortable 2BR Home/WiFI & Free Parking
