Studio with Amazing Views!
Really enjoyed the bay views!! The unit was perfect for what I needed this spring break from work and school

Luxury Beach View Apartment
This was perfect for our stay. Being able to wake up to a view of the ocean with my cup of coffee was just what I needed to be totally relaxed on my vacation. The bnb was spacious and accommodating.

Mill Valley Hot Spot-Location! Location! Location!
Gary's place was exactly as described. Absolutely perfect location in a great little town. Gary was a excellent host and was very accommodating and understanding with a mix-up (on my end). My only hesitation on recommending Gary's place is that I want it to be available when we come back!! :) Highly recommended and would absolutely stay again!

Hip hideaway steps to DT w/garden patio & W/D
This cute little ground-floor apartment is right around the corner from downtown Alameda, making it easy to walk to shops and restaurants or just around the neighborhood admiring the fascinating architecture. The apartment is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with toiletries and office supplies in case you forget something. Though some noise is inevitable from the main house above, the occupants took care to minimize it, and it was not an issue for us. Bathtub notes: There is plentiful hot water and a great showerhead. The tub, however, is straight-backed and not comfortable for lounging.

Romantic - close to beach, shopping & restaurants!
pleasant decor, all the amenities you could need (Laundromat just next door), friendly neighbors, soft bed, shower has great pressure and all the hot water, even some tequila in the cupboard! 😅 Only thing I could complain about is it gets HOT in there on a hot day but just open the doors and hit the fans. Oh and such nice gardening, fragrant flowers everywhere. Thanks Kyle!

Modern apt steps to beach, trails & downtown HMB
Michelle and Peter were excellent hosts! The place was exactly as described, and very homey. The backyard was beautiful, and the inside had lots of touches to make us feel comfortable- blankets for the sofa, TV easy to sign into our netflix and other accounts, kitchen easy to cook in with all the essentials. Michelle and Peter were quick to respond to any messages I sent before and during our stay, and very accommodating. Downtown is an easy walk or very quick drive. Lots of hiking opportunities nearby, and the Coastal trail is great for bicycling. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Charming Oceanview Moss Beach
My favorite stay! I travel frequently for work and love returning to this beautiful spot. Nancy’s home is so cozy and it’s a gift to be able to walk outside and see the Ocean. Can’t recommend the space and Nancy’s hospitality enough! 💗

Modern 2 Bed - Near Beach, Lands End, GG Park
Ricky was so fast at responding and always there to help out with our questions! :) Beautiful place, even beter than on photos and good location. Would recommend!
House rentals with beach access

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.

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.

Poplar Beach Getaway - Special Pricing!
An amazing stay for our growing family. With a kid friendly space, separate living room space for TV and relaxation, and super short walk to the beach, this house hit the top of our repeat visit list!! Looking forward to visiting Half Moon Bay again soon and staying at Mary-Anne's!

Cozy 2 Bedroom Home, Dog Friendly, w/Private Yard
Just right for my husband and myself and our little pup!

Oceanview Retreat, Steps to Beach|Pier|Golf Course
Liping was a wonderful host — very responsive and provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions throughout our stay. The place was just what we needed, and we were happy to have stayed there. Would definitely consider staying again in the future!

Newly Remodeled Ocean/Beach View QUIET Lux Retreat
We had a fabulous holiday celebration with my extended family in the home. One bedroom was below the garage which was perfect for our younger children who go to bed early. The garage has a flipable pool table and ping pong - which was wonderful.

Historic Alameda Home Near Beach
Jeff's old victorian home is beautiful. Walls decorated with paintings and details that give warm and cozy ambiance. The big backyard gives you room to stretch n breathe. We got sweet oranges to enjoy with bfast too. Restaurants were within 15-30 minutes walking distance. Roomy driveway. The only drawback is the one bathroom. Taking turn for shower took a while for 4 of us.

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.

Beautiful Top Floor Getaway in Beach Town
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!

Twenty minutes to SF, one block to beach, fire pit
We had a great stay. Was easy to get to all the places we wanted to explore. Anna and Alex had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely stay again. Thank you

New Coastal Home🐠 Steps to pier🐢 16mins to SFO✈️
Totally recommend this place. Pacifica is a peaceful location, yet quick and easy to get into downtown San Francisco.

Positive Vibe Condo by the Beach
We had a great time staying at Melanie Joy's place. The location can't be beat, and her place was clean and spacious for the two of us. Would recommend for a nice stay in peaceful in Pacifica.

Cabo San Pedro - 1 bed - Stunning Ocean Views
Had a great time, View was amazing! We thought the tram was awesome.

Cozy condo in the heart of Alameda
The residence far exceeded my expectations. Very clean. Everything I needed to “live” a week there, felt like home

Modern Coastal Simplicity-Walk to Beach, Park
Beautiful home and felt very comfortable! Jan was very kind and quick to respond, my friends and I would definitely stay again!

Clean, Private and Safe San Francisco Apartment
We had a lovely stay at Andrew’s Air BnB. Location was fantastic! One block from restaurants, bars and cafes. Didn’t need our car rental so we returned it early. Uber/Lifts were a good option when the walking was too far. One was always a few minutes away. The rental is ground level which for us was great. Safety measures were spot on. Thank you Andrew!!
