Vacation rentals with beach access in San Rafael

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!

We had an absolutely amazing stay at Larry’s Airbnb in Richmond. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed with how smooth the check-in and check-out process was – everything was well-organized and hassle-free. The home itself was spotlessly clean, which made us feel right at home. One of the highlights was the breathtaking view of the Golden Gate Bridge – it was the perfect backdrop for our stay and made our mornings even more special. The home was well-equipped with everything we needed. Larry was an outstanding host, always available and attentive to any questions or needs we had. His hospitality really made this experience memorable. We can’t wait to come back!

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.

I would gladly live in this sunny apartment full time. It's quiet and roomy, with views of trees, but only a block from superb restaurants like Burma Superstar, and only a few blocks from Southshore Center and Alameda Beach. Its fixtures are somewhat outdated, but that's East Bay real estate for you.

Definitely recommend this Airbnb - it was well situated relative to Golden Gate, Golden Gate Park and excellent restaurants and was so peaceful and cozy. We were so thankful we had garage parking (vs staying on the east side of the city where parking seems to be very limited/expensive). Edmund was very helpful and responsive, and he has labeled everything which was so useful when we needed to find anything in the house!

Alexis is the consummate host and as always, we enjoyed celebrating the Holidays in his lovely home. Also, thanks Alexis for the goodies, and see you in July.

We had a great stay in this beautiful apartment. It felt clean and comfortable from the moment we arrived and everything we needed was provided. Coming back to this cozy home after a long day of exploring was deeply relaxing. Having Sol Food and Johnny Doughnuts just minutes a way was also a real treat, yum!

Katina was extremely accommodating, helping me to stay an extra night at the last minute. Cute, cozy little spot right next to downtown, I loved it.

First and foremost, thanks Julieta for allowing us to stay at your property. The photos truly don’t do the place and location justice. The views are incredible. The location is perched on a hill whereby its backyard is essentially an incredible hiking journey to several different peaks and vistas. Then, the convenience of having restaurants and grocery stores simply at the bottom of the hill. This is an absolute gem. Book it while you can!

This is an older home, yet clean, warm, and comfortable with an incredible view of Muir Beach - Very peaceful and beautiful. You can't help but relax! We look forward to spending a long weekend here again. (If you're not from this area, Muir Woods which has the redwoods is right up the hill, maybe 10 min away - the redwoods are always worth seeing, but make sure to make a reservation for parking at least a few days in advance) There is a wonderful hike along the coast from Muir Beach towards S.F. It goes to Tennessee Beach, but you can turn around at any time and make the hike long or short. We enjoyed staying here and look forward to coming back! -Steve and Mary

What a perfect place to regroup after a tumultuous time in our family. The home itself is lovely and exactly what we needed. Extremely family-friendly. Really close to the beach. Everyone in the neighborhood and in town was friendly and kind.

Mel's place was great--exactly as advertised. Clean and comfortable with a well appointed kitchen with all the amenities. Mel was very easy to work with and extremely prompt in responding to a question about a tripped circuit breaker--I had the instructions I needed within 5 minutes of sending her a message. A great place to stay and close to everything you want in the Pacifica/San Francisco area. I highly recommend Mel's place!

This house was very cute and clean! Very relaxing. I loved the location of it. The hosts are also very responsive, helpful, and accommodating. Definitely would recommend staying here.

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.

My family enjoyed our stay here very much. The house was well-furnished with plenty of dishes and utensils and the beds were a very comfortable.

A beautiful space in a wonderful quiet part of San Francisco. I've stayed here twice now and I highly recommend it. Check-in is super straightforward, parking is astonishingly easy for SF, and Laura was super responsive to any questions we had. The space has everything you need for a longer stay. It's very comfortable, the bedrooms and cozy, and the big windows in the living room give you a great view of the sunset.

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!

We had such a nice stay at Arlene’s place, the beds were so comfy, the bathroom was very clean and the kitchen was well stocked. We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed at Selina's place for the March Madness tournament at Chase Center. The location could not have been better - we were a 5 minute walk from the stadium, with many good restaurant spots. It was easy to get around, and Selina was responsive and helpful.

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.

Everything from start to finish was perfect! We had a wonderful 3 days and felt right at home

The views and location is better in person. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants to get away for awhile the location was beautiful. The host was very accommodating and left perfect instructions checking in was a breeze I really enjoyed this place.

I have rented many apartments in San Francisco and this is by far the best! The steps up are quite steep but the spectacular view makes the climb worthwhile. The apartment is spacious and nicely furnished. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need and there is a washer and dryer. Jeff was a very responsive, friendly and helpful host. I will try to book this apartment every time I travel to San Francisco and cannot recommend it highly enough!

The residence far exceeded my expectations. Very clean. Everything I needed to “live” a week there, felt like home
