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
Awesome space with a great view

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! đ 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!

Charming Oceanview Moss Beach
My favorite stay! I travel frequently for work and love returning to this beautiful spot. Nancyâs home is so cozy and itâs a gift to be able to walk outside and see the Ocean. Canât recommend the space and Nancyâs hospitality enough! đ

Amazing! The location is by the ocean, and we could see beautiful sunrise and sunset.

House rentals with beach access

What a View!
Absolutely stunning view and very private location. Plenty of room for our group and we especially appreciated the dog run off the master bedroom for convenience for our pup. The house has everything you need and the upstairs living areas are a bit more updated. Very comfortable to hang out and just enjoy the sunrises and sunsets. The deck was perfect. Host was very responsive and helpful before and during our stay.

Coastal Paradise - 5min walk to beach!
It was such a wonderful girls weekend away in Bodega Bay. The place has the most beautiful views and it is a short walk to the beach. Everything in the house was nice and in order and the hot tub was amazing. The views and location are hard to beat! I hope to be back.

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.

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!

Oceanview Retreat, Steps to Beach|Pier|Golf Course
Liping was a wonderful host â 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!

Walk-to-the-Beach-Bungalow
This home was by far the best AirBnB we've ever stayed at! Ruth was an absolutely amazing host! From her well kept home with added essentials, to the personal hand-written note with local recommendations, Ruth made this experience for our family a cozy, safe, and comfortable one. We loved the property and everything it provided our family of 5. This house is a must-see, and we will forever hold the memories we made there near and dear to our hearts. Thanks for a wonderful stay and memorable vacation! :)

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.

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.

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 fantasticâfriendly, responsive, and very accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. The location is also a huge plusâjust 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 youâre 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

Very comfortable, clean and fully equipped place. We felt like staying at friendsâ house.

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.
