Mid-Century Modern Home with Waterfront Views

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 33 reviews2 weeks ago

We stayed at Mark & Sanet’s place during our home remodel, and it was truly a sanctuary. The views of the bay are simply stunning—waking up to that panorama never got old. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the bathtub felt like a spa retreat. We cooked many meals on the backyard grill and discovered countless beautiful walks nearby, making the whole stay feel like a peaceful getaway. Mark and Sanet were the quintessential hosts—warm, responsive, and attentive to every detail. We stayed for over three months and genuinely felt at home. It was hard to leave, and we recommend this special place wholeheartedly. A rare gem!

Waterfront with HUGE Backyard

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 40 reviews1 month ago

This was our third stay at this location, which says a lot about how much we have enjoyed our stays at Corria's property. She is very easy to communicate with and makes sure our stay is comfortable. Alameda is such a lovely city with great dining options within walking distance and the outdoor space on the water is really spectacular. We are tremendous "birders" and often spend the mornings spotting ducks and shore birds from the private waterfront and enjoying the hummingbirds buzzing over our heads! We are always very relaxed staying here and enjoy the easy access we have to family living in the area. We look forward to our next stay.

Redwood Riverfront Getaway

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 1,013 reviews2 weeks ago

It's always a leap of faith trying to choose the right Airbnb as a solo female traveler. Especially when you want to stay in the forest! This location was a perfect blend of feeling safe but feeling left alone. The host lived on-site (different unit) but didn't intrude. You share the unit with residents (separate entrance, just shared walls) but it wasn't noisy or inconvenient. I knew they were there but only saw them in short flashes. It includes perhaps the comfiest bed I have ever slept in. It is a quick drive (you could walk but the road is pretty narrow) to Boulder Creek where I was able to pick up food, crafts, and antiques! Drive just a little longer and you are at Big Basin Redwoods State Park. Exploring the park is why I came and the location was perfect. Check-in was easy. Cleanup was not too cumbersome. And the bed!! I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

Airstream Coastal Hideaway (Sunset)

4.98 out of 5 average rating, 245 reviews1 week ago

The Airstream was super comfy, with a ridiculously pristine view of the coastline. The moon came out each night we were there to illuminate the surf and sky--it was pretty magical. The property is peaceful, pristine, and has lots of thoughtful touches that made us feel right at home. It was the perfect glamping experience.

Waterfront Delta retreat

5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviews7 months ago

I really enjoyed it, especially sitting out on the dock in the moonlight at night. Just enjoy nature very quiet and serene. The location is on a canal of the San Francisco Bay Delta river I believe. it’s on the Sacramento river correct me if I’m wrong. The amazing thing that probably 20 to 25 miles away via the river system is Stockton California, which is 50 miles inland is also a port city they bring large ships down this river system. Remind me a lot of Key Largo, where I’m from with no ocean, but it has beautiful water, I really enjoyed it there and thank you for sharing it with me.

GORGEOUS BAYSIDE BUNGALOW WITH PRIVATE TERRACE

4.86 out of 5 average rating, 325 reviews3 weeks ago

First, I am SO DISAPPOINTED (wait for it). THAT I COULD ONLY STAY FOR TWO NIGHTS! Mark’s apartment is in one of my favorite areas in the Bay Area. Marin County has SO much to do, especially outdoors. But the best is that I could sit on the patio looking out at San Pablo Bay. Gorgeous. Peaceful. And at night the lights from the Richmond Bridge sparkled. The view is from every room, sets the tone for everything. This is going to be my go-to AirBnB in Northern California.

Stunning California Coast Airstream (New Listing)

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 204 reviews1 week ago

I had a wonderful stay at Airdream #2! The view is absolutely stunning and the place feels very private. The host, Mark, was incredibly kind and attentive. The kitchen has all the essential items, the sheets and blankets were super cozy, and the heater worked perfectly. I thought it might be hard to find, but it was actually very easy—and the location is perfect. Everything was clean, comfortable, and peaceful. Highly recommended!
