Home in San Francisco modern 3 bedrooms 1.5 baths
We had a lovely time at Yan Fang’s place, the location was perfect - we walked to the beach almost every day! It was also convenient to have the Muni metro stop right at the end of the street, we rode the Muni all over town (inexpensive and easy!). The house was clean and comfortable and Yan Fang included extra snacks and kitchen items for us, which was nice. We loved our time here and would recommend.

Modern Pillar Point View Suite
April’s place worked out great for us: close to the ocean and quality restaurants. This was our second stay, and we look forward to another return.

Oceanfront at La Paz in Stinson Beach
A great return visit to La Paz! The upgrades are nice and the location is awesome! Everything is as described. Good communication, easy check in and easy parking. Quick walk to town and even quicker to the beach. One of my favorite rentals in Stinson. Highly recommend!

Bolinas Beach Home
The home is exactly as pictured. Spectacular view, well-appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, plenty of linens, and delicious coffee. Will definitely stay again next time we visit Bolinas.

Seaside Art Gallery Loft Inspire Your Creativity
Wonderful location right on the beach. Easy access down to the water too. Local restaurant on the street was perfect for laid back dining with good options. Half Moon Bay is a must visit town! Great host and we’ll be staying here anytime we’re in the Bay Area.

Relaxing Getaway with Breathtaking Ocean Views

Bright, Light & Ocean Views Apt
Really cozy apartment in a neat buidling, walking distance from the beach and very close to Half Moon Bay restaurants. Really clean apartment with good natural light and the views of the ocean from the balcony are amazing. Tom and Carly were super responsive and easy to communicate with.

Casa Ballena: Views, Spa, & More
The place was gorgeous! Even prettier than the pictures. The hot tub didn't work, which was a disappointment, but they gave us an appropriate partial refund. Would absolutely recommend

Casa Panama 2 to 3 Bedroom Options by the Sea
The views from the decks and rooms are amazing - even better than the photos. This location is wonderful too and very quiet. I took a walk each morning up the hill and into the Jenner Headlands Preserve - highly recommended. We were lucky to have great weather and thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the lower deck on the outdoor sofas under an umbrella for shade. We didn't use the hot tub, but it is a nice touch to have one. The beds were very comfortable, and the downstairs bed has a nice view out the window. The house is older, so the bathrooms are small. We used the washer and drier once and they worked well. The kitchen was well stocked and there are games and puzzles available as well. Toni was a fantastic host - very responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this place and hope to return one day.

Spacious and charming 1bd apartment on Ocean Beach
Awesome place near a beautiful ocean beach in a very quiet and lovely area. It's perfect for walking or running along the shore. Golden Gate Park is nearby - about a 30-minute walk along the beach. Just a 5-minute walk to the subway station. The area is very quiet - we slept well every night. Plenty of street parking is available. Nick is an awesome host - very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

Walk-to-the-Beach-Bungalow
Ruth’s home in Moss Beach was a perfect second stop on our California road trip. Her home was immaculate and she herself was so welcoming- fresh flowers and fresh sour dough bread. We loved walking the trail out to the beach and there were even baby seal pups to watch, Ruth graciously left us some binoculars and a map to help find them. We enjoyed the quiet and convenient location to several spots in the area- Muir Woods, Carmel, 17 Mile Drive etc. Our only complaint is we wish we had more time. Thank you for a wonderful and restful home to stay in.

Luxurious Waterfront Sonoma Coast Home
Great place. Big, nice, clean, quiet, comfortable. All amenities you need. Kitchen is great. Good shower. Comfortable beds. Beautiful view. On the water. Super convenient if you have a kayak or canoe. Host was great. Super communicative, friendly, flexible. Small things: The garage entrance is small and dicey, esp with a big car. I couldn't find the volume buttons on the TV remote (maybe I'm just getting old). The jacuzzi doesn't feel super private. Wish it had a bathtub. All these are small things and don't really detract. Highly recommended. Will definitely stay here again.

Pelican’s Rest, by Vinifera Homes
We had a fun weekend staying at Harman’s property, highlights being the amazing ocean views and the hot tub on the deck. Harman was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed - he also accommodated our request for late checkout which we really appreciated. The location is about a 10 minute drive out of town, and it’s not easy to get an Uber so having a car is a good idea if you’re staying at this property.

Apartment in house on the lagoon. Close to Beach
Would stay again - Mason was responsive and helpful. There is some noise from the family above, as is to be expected in a basement apartment - I, personally, found it comforting at night. Large, bright, clean space. Great parking and location.
