This was the perfect relaxing stay. The view is magnificent and tranquil. They even included a bottle of wine and cheese for the stay which I thought was a thoughtful touch. Perfect place to book if you’re looking for a relaxing luxurious getaway

Great Highway Oceanfront studio

AmandaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

Lesley and Alex were so nice and accommodating!! We loved being so close to the beach and within minutes of restaurants and everything else. I have ZERO complaints about them as hosts. However, although it did look like the pictures, the bathroom was pretty small and so is the shower. You can kind of clean yourself using both the top and the bottom faucets, but it is an adjustment. And the bathroom doesn’t have a fan, and there is also no full-length mirror. In addition, the interior is not really ideal for things like common meals, unless you go outside (which they are so nice to allow). Other than that, it was easily accessible, nice hosts, and we had a great time!

Cottage in Mill Valley

New Beautiful Cottage | Downtown Mill Valley

MichaelaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

My recent stay at Heidi's place in Mill Valley was absolutely lovely. The location, super walkable to town, library, and hiking was fantastic! The studio cottage was decorated in a simple and classy manner. Loved the gas fireplace and towel warmer! The view out from the bed out to the garden was such a lovely way to wake up! I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Beautiful 1 bdrm Apt with Ocean Views and Hot Tub

LeslieRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Our stay at Albina’s guest suite was very peaceful and a perfect place to rest our heads while exploring SF! Great location in a quiet neighborhood, walkable to local restaurants and cafés. About a 20 minute walk to Golden Gate Park. Lovely views of the ocean to watch the sunset, we used the firepit on the deck which was lovely! Albina was a kind and gracious host.

Stunning & Tranquil Cottage with a Magical View

SusanRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This one-room cottage is quiet, peaceful, and comfy, with nice touches of design and artwork. Danson was very responsive to every request. If you have any trouble climbing stairs, this is not the place for you. Otherwise, grab it!

Guesthouse Garden Retreat

JonahRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Michelle is a great host and the cottage was lovely! The garden is gorgeous and there are lots of places to relax outside. I felt very welcome and taken care of! It was not an issue for me at all, but the location is a little ways out from the action and there is not a lot close by. On the plus side, it’s relatively quiet, cozy, and relaxing! I enjoyed the hot tub both mornings I was there! Overall , a very pleasant experience!

We’ve come to stay here once a year for the last 3 years and it is amazing. The home itself, the area, the 10 minute walk to the beach. I mean, we will be back again next year. We love it so much and Michael is so friendly and welcoming!

Beautiful Top Floor Getaway in Beach Town

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 60 reviews2 months ago

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The place was immaculately clean upon arrival, which we really appreciated. The host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and very accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. The location is also a huge plus—just two blocks from a beautiful park, perfect for a morning stroll or some fresh air. One thing to note is that this unit is on the third floor, which was fine for us but did come with some challenges. We have two small children, and it was difficult at times to keep them quiet for the tenants below. If you’re traveling with little ones, just be mindful that noise can carry. Also, the WiFi was not working during our stay, which was a bit inconvenient, but hopefully, that was just a temporary issue. Overall, a great stay in a well-kept space with a wonderful host. Would definitely recommend!

Truly, a wonderful place, very comfortable. Very modern and updated great amenities outside on the patio love that they harvest honey/beehives on property. The Private membership Pool one block away is an incredible amenity. Nestled in Martinez amongst all of the beautiful trees and hills absolutely beautiful. Would highly recommend this location and most definitely will rebook one in town visiting family. Hosts were very quick to respond to any text message extremely comfortable.

Mountain View Treehouse Muir Woods and Redwoods

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 88 reviews1 month ago

Amy's house was beautifully designed, had incredible views and very clean. We came with 6 adults and 1 child, if you have a bigger group like us I would recommend renting the bottom apartment as well since the beds in the main floor room aren't big enough for 2 adults each. The master bedroom was heavenly, the views in that room were magical to go to sleep to and wake up to. The apartment below is very private and spacious as well. My family enjoyed the stay, we cancelled dinner plans one night to cook dinner at the house so we can have more time there. Amy was very helpful and responded quickly. The house had everything we needed.

Unreal Beachfront Marin Getaway!

4.85 out of 5 average rating, 13 reviews5 months ago

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage on Kristen’s beautiful property with our two kids and my parents. The cottage is beautifully appointed with a great sunny deck and very comfortable beds and linens. The property is amazing and we loved exploring the hiking trails and private beach and watching the sunrise. The kids also loved the trampoline. The house is in a very private location but it’s just a short drive to downtown Tiburon, which has lots of charming restaurants and stores. Kristen and Athena were wonderful hosts - very welcoming and responsive.

Cozy condo by the lake

4.6 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviews2 months ago

Selamawit’s places is the perfect spot to stay if you ever have business in Oakland – I was there for a local film festival at the Grand Lake Theater. Matching the tranquil location that was within walking distance to all of the excitement of grand Avenue was the impeccable and spacious home as well as Selamawit’s consummate hosting. She was always available, flexible, and attentive to my needs. It was a pleasure to stay in her space I hope to stay there the next time I find myself in the Bay Area.

Serene & Sunlit Cozy Retreat

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviews1 week ago

The house and location was a perfect fit for our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding celebration weekend. Their celebration was in Kennedy Grove, just a few miles from the house. We had a small pizza party with the wedding crew the night before, and an after party gathering the night of. After party consisted of a 30 minute yoga stretch to release the emotions of the day and watching The Wedding Singer!! The house and backyard were all perfect for us, including the 2.5 bathrooms, full kitchen and wonderful bedding for a good nights sleep for all. Rose & Noelle were very accommodating and our family members enjoyed the whole weekend immensely! We would love to return sometime soon!!

KayaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Kathryn’s place was a perfect place to stay for a night. There was a communal feel in the kitchen and living room space, yet enough space and privacy (we were traveling with two other couples) and all amenities we needed. Super clean, light, and airy space with a sweet backyard garden. Very walkable and safe area too!

SF Coast Work/Play/Hike + HotTub

NelsonRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the essentials, including strong WiFi, parking, and bathroom amenities. The location made it easy to get into San Francisco while still having a quiet place to return to. Also great views and near to hiking. What really stood out, though, was the host’s incredible responsiveness. We had a lock issue during our stay, and they went above and beyond—driving an hour and a half to personally bring us a key to the side door to ensure we felt safe. That level of dedication and care made all the difference, and we truly appreciated it. Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a convenient and well-hosted experience!
