Everything was exactly as described and very walkable to the Walnut Creek shops. The interior was excellent, and the beds were super comfortable. A great place to stay overall.

Beautiful Home. Gorgeous Views. Five Bedrooms.
This home was perfect. the view from the porch was breathtaking. everything was great. safe quite location.

2 BR/3 BD/full BT, whole suite, parking, near SFO
The stay met our expectations. Sean was very friendly, gave us a lot of tips and also provided drinks and snacks, which was a great gesture. The area is very quiet and well located. At no time did we feel unsafe and in particular the possibility of parking in the garage was very advantageous. Therefore, highly recommended for a short stay.

*Designer East Bay Remodel Home*
This place was perfect for our family of 5. We all had plenty of space and fun playing pool. The host was responsive and super accommodating! Would highly recommend.

Oceanfront Boho Retreat - Pacific Sunset Views 🌅🌊🐳
Beautiful space that was well appointed. The home was super clean. Al was an attentive host, answering any questions we had. This location is special. Beautiful ocean front sites and sounds and at the same time being close to the city and the airport. We had a great time relaxing in the backyard, hiking up Mori point, and visiting the pier. Welcoming destination, would recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Amazing Welcoming Unique Ocean Home
My Son an I did a 5 day stay. The place was very centrally located on the pacific coast. The place was very cozy, clean and comfortable with outstanding ocean views from everywhere in the cabin. Good parking for two vehicles. Weather was so so, but did not hindered us a bit. We hiked at Muir Woods, the overlook and the beach all within 5 minutes away. We were able to go to San Francisco multiple times 35 minutes to do half day lunches or dinners and Sausalito 20 minutes. Yeshi was very responsive when we communicated, but really needed little assistance. The home is older and very charming. It reminded me of my own house growing up. Would definitely stay here again.

5 minutes walk to the Beach & Ocean!
Truly a guest favorite! We came with two young kids (1 and 4) and we loved every aspect of this place. Tom was also extremely helpful with everything. We were even allowed to check in early at very short notice as I had confused the time change and the kids were tired after a long flight from the East coast. The way to think about this place: LOTS of space in the house, as well as in the garden, everything is super secure (Tom installs baby gates if needed), so as a parent you can relax much more than in any usual airbnb. The location is world class: You can walk down to an amazing natural beach, it's right at the end of the block, and a few feet down that beach there is even an amazing surf spot (rent your board at HMB rental); within 10min you're also in the middle of the redwoods where you find more pure nature, with amazing trees, little creeks etc. Wish we could have stayed longer. The whole family loved it.

Oceanfront Views - Steps to the Beach
We never wanted to leave! beautiful place, extremely gorgeous surroundings, lots to do nearby, great recommendations from Stefan and all the guests felt like they had the best room. I loved how pelicans would fly by right at eye level, we could pop down the beach in less than a minute, I could look out and see the endless ocean from almost any room, the kitchen was big and bright, and I even saw some whales migrating north!!

Half Moon Bay Coastal Home Walk Beach & Harbor SPA
Nancy's place was beautiful and perfect for a family vacation! She was very communicative, providing recommendations for local eats, and very responsive whenever we needed help with anything. Her home is very comfortable with lots of amenities (tea, coffee, snacks, water bottles) and a fully stocked kitchen. The home is in a peaceful neighborhood and nearby to lots of restaurants. A wonderful stay overall!

Entire house:Steps to beach and ample space
Staying at this property was amazing from beginning to end. Jennifer quickly responded to all of my questions about the property and was always friendly and provided so much information. The house was perfect for a group of 10. Beautiful bathrooms and bedrooms with plenty of extra linens and blankets. The kitchen was fully equipped and was even better than the pictures made it look. The location was amazing. It was a very short walk to the beautiful beach and you could also walk to some very good restaurants. We walked to The Barn as well as to Sam’s chowder House. Easy walk to both from the house. The check-in and checkout was so simple. Could not give a better review! Thank you so much! Would definitely stay here again!

NEW!Beach Bungalow 4 Private, Clean,No Common Area
We stopped for one night while driving up the coast It was a great nights rest. Very clean. Beautiful At night. And the Taco Bell Cantina was a nice suprise! Loved it! Overall great night to rest and recoup.

Modern beach bungalow - 1/2 block from ocean
Absolutely delightful. I highly recommend this place. The home is lovely and well equipped. Excellent location. I have zero complaints! This place is something special and you will not regret booking.
Beach house rentals in Pacifica

Muir Beach's Haiku House with Dramatic Ocean Views
The house was perfect for a relaxing vacation. The neighborhood has beautiful greenery with ocean views that help relax your soul. The place was well equipped with all your needs. The location was perfect. Easy access to San Francisco, Napa Valley, Muir Woods, private beach, etc. Even though we did venture out sightseeing, we were also happy to just be at the Airbnb and enjoy the house and location.

Ocean Front Beach Cottage with Hot Tub & Fireplace
You could not find a better location at Muir Beach, which in itself is the perfect get away for those of us living in San Francisco. We loved it so much, we've rebooked for a weekend in September. It's the perfect size and layout for a couple and every room except the bathroom has a stunningly beautiful view of beach and waves and when clear, Sutro tower and the western part of San Francisco. A true romantic get away. Even 2 fireplaces and hot tub! We spent most of weekend not going anywhere except for a walk on the beach.

Coastal Cottage
All the little touches are so awesome - thank you!

Bubble House Upstairs Flat - 2 BR 1 BTH by Beach
Laura was a great host, very accommodating and responsive, and had helpful suggestions of things to do in the neighborhood. The place was very clean and cozy, had everything we needed to feel at home for a few days.

Artist's ocean view retreat
Terry's home was outstanding. The views from the living room, dining room, and master bedroom were awe-inspiring. The house had a cozy, inviting atmosphere. It provided everything required. It was so delightful that it almost discouraged one from going out to discover the city. Terry was very friendly and responded any questions almost immediately I recommend this place and would definitely stay here again should I visit San Francisco once more.

Ocean view house, beaches, trails, family friendly
There are beautiful views of the ocean from this spacious home. It was an easy drive to San Francisco and we enjoyed the local restaurants as well. The kitchen was large and well-maintained and it was easy to adjust the house temperature to be comfortable for both the main floor and upstairs.

Ocean View Fire Pit Hot Tub Near Tide Pools & SFO
My family loved staying, the back yard was a favorite with the fire pit making s’more and hot tub! We loved how close it was to the beach. It was easy to come back to the house and have lunch and then head out to the beach again. We even fit in a day trip to San Francisco to the zoo and see the Golden Gate Bridge. Jennifer was very helpful with suggestions on where to go.

Relaxing Getaway with Breathtaking Ocean Views
We all enjoyed Bernadine’s home for our girls weekend. The home is set up so that if you are sharing with another family or you have kiddos there is plenty of space for everyone. It great for a family or friends gathering for a weekend. Location is lovely and the views are stunning. You can walk along the bluff over looking the ocean or you can take a short drive to Fitzgerald Nature Reserve which also has stunning views. Great place for getting away and relaxing.

Your guide to Pacifica
All About Pacifica
Just 20 minutes from San Francisco, the small beach town of Pacifica feels worlds away from the big-name destinations along the west coast. The city offers the perfect combination of nature and adventure, with miles of shoreline lapped by ocean waves. Pacifica’s beaches are distinct and varied, with soft golden sand, rare black sand, and pebble beaches just a couple of miles apart. There’s a strong surf culture here, with kayakers and paddleboarders keen to take to the water.
Along the seafront, you can enjoy a handful of bars, restaurants, and art galleries. The coastal bluffs and inland forests offer miles of hiking and biking routes with clifftop views and colorful wildflowers. Fishing and crabbing are also popular, especially during dungeness crab season, when the Pacifica Pier fills with locals hoping to pull in the prized crustacean.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Pacifica
The average temperatures in Pacifica vary slightly and are pleasant with low chances of rain most of the year — excluding some cold weeks in the winter. Anglers will want to consider booking their vacation rentals in Pacifica for July, when the bays around the coast are full of salmon. If you’d like to take advantage of the free crabbing available from the Pacifica Pier, it’s best to visit in the winter months when Dungeness crab is abundant. There are several surf events throughout the year. In September, you can celebrate Mexican California at Rancho Day Fiesta, with rancho food, Californian music and dancing, and crafts.
Top things to do in Pacifica
Sam’s Castle
Modeled after a Scottish castle, Sam’s Castle was built in 1908 as a safe haven overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It served many purposes over the following years, including a speakeasy and WWII barracks. In recent decades, its eccentric owner filled it with art, antiques, and other curiosities from his time as a theater decorator. The castle is now open periodically to the public.
Surfing at Linda Mar Beach
The southernmost of Pacifica’s beaches, Linda Mar is a mile-long stretch known as one of the best areas for surfing in the Bay Area. It has forgiving breaks suitable for newbies to challenging swells for advanced surfers. Seafront stores have all the equipment you could need to get out onto the waves safely.
Montara Mountain Trail
For unparalleled, 360-degree views of the Bay Area, you can hike to the summit of Montara Mountain from San Pedro Valley Park. Nestled in the Santa Cruz mountain range, the peak is 1,900 feet above sea level. The trail takes around four hours, and the vistas from the top are well worth it.
