Studio with Amazing Views!
I stayed while visiting my daughter and it was magical. Beautiful, simple and well appointed. The bed was comfy and I appreciated fresh ground coffee in the morning while enjoying the view! Will definitely return. Thank you for a wonderful stay, Arun!

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
Wonderful quiet neighborhood close to Park Street with great shopping and restaurants. Safety, cleanliness, close proximity to family and affordability were what we were looking for and found it! We will gladly return again. Thank you Chase and family.

Romantic - close to beach, shopping & restaurants!
Great place to stay if visiting Alameda. Unit is just as described, quiet and convenient to all Alameda has to offer

Cozy 2BR Steps to Pacifica Beach (Surfista 4)
Very kind and responsive hosts. I appreciated their communication and attention to detail. Thank you!

Secret Garden Cottage
Loved this peaceful place and the personal touches, the color and art and full bookshelf, the oranges from the yard, the in person welcome. This would be a great place to hole up and write a book!

Charming Oceanview Moss Beach
This was my second time staying at Nancy’s and it was just as beautiful as the first. She’s an amazing host and goes above a beyond to make sure you have clean filtered water which I really appreciate! The Airbnb itself is a work of art and I felt right at home. It’s lovely to stay so close to the Ocean :)

Newly Updated Guest Suite w/ Sweeping Ocean Views
First off the place was spectacular! Absolutely stunning and felt like home! It was bright, clean, private, had great ocean views! All of the amenities to cook, clean, plenty of storage space, and a washer and dryer in unit too! Ted the host was very responsive, and even turned the outside light on for me because it was dark when I arrived. Check In was easy, and he was very accommodating with anything we needed. It was nice that he even has a driveway on site to park my vehicles.. I would love to stay here again and highly recommend this cozy location to everyone! Truly a hidden gem off the highway and walking distance to the beach as well as town! Thank you Ted for your hospitality!

What a View!
Amazing view of the Tómales Bay, Dillon’s beach and Point Reyes. Enjoyed fresh oysters and elephant seal watching for a perfect getaway! Toni’s place was spacious and very comfortable for 5 of us plus dogs. Would love to stay again!

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
My wife and I had a very nice stay at Kathleen’s place. The space was very clean and comfortable. The views were great and we were able to enjoy several walks to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet, safe, and peaceful. Kathleen communicated perfectly throughout the entire process. We had no issues getting to and finding the house. Very close to hiking trails and Muir Woods! I highly recommend staying at Kathleen’s Airbnb and would absolutely stay there again.

Half Moon Bay Coastal Home Walk Beach & Harbor SPA
What an awesome vacation! We met my parents and stayed in the house for a week with our kids. The layout of the house was perfect! We could stretch out but we never felt isolated. The house is decorated to perfection with everything we could want and more. The location was perfect. Just a walk down to the harbor with several restaurants and shopping. Communication was easy and helpful. We absolutely want to come back again!

Oceanview Retreat, Steps to Beach|Pier|Golf Course
Thank you very much, Liping. The entire process and communication with host were very easy. The place was very clean, well setup, and spacious. We definitely will be using this location for future visits and getaway. Thanks Liping for you generous hospitality..

Bubble House Upstairs Flat - 2 BR 1 BTH by Beach
Super location & a beautiful place! We had everything we needed. So comfortable-- we look forward to staying again.

Ocean view house, beaches, trails, family friendly
This home was in a good location. Wasn’t far from the city and a great place to relax and get away.

Montara Beach House ~ Top 10% Homes Worldwide
This is the second time we have stayed with Judy in the past year. We love her house and we’re wild about her! She is exceptionally friendly and very responsive. Judy even called and texted several times during a weather emergency to help us locate her power backup, flashlights etc. We will be back! Judy’s house is the perfect location for us to stay when visiting our daughter and son-in-law in SanFrancisco. Thanks Judy for being a super host!

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!

New Coastal Home🐠 Steps to pier🐢 16mins to SFO✈️
Absolutely Amazing Stay! Top Notch Everything! Can't wait to return someday again .

360 VIEW loft w/ Private rooftop by Chase Center
Our hosts were responsive before our visit and during our stay. The home had everything we needed and we truly enjoyed the long weekend away. I would highly recommend choosing this AirBnb for your travels. We hope to return soon.

Waterfront Condo! Great for Month rentals!
Raul’s place was a great find! It’s so peaceful and beautiful right in Jack London square on the Marina. I ended up as a solo traveler most of my trip and it was everything that I wanted and more! The view of the Oakland hills, the Marina, the sunrises and sunsets in the evening. If you’re not from the city, this is a great stay!

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.

Richmond District Top floor Pied a Terre
What a lovely, well-appointed, charming place to spend some time. It has none of that soul-killing disposable IKEA Airbnb design and instead is chock full of sophisticated design touches. Great kitchen, lovely rugs, a bathroom with a BIDET, cool hardware in the bathroom. The list goes on. AND it's in a great neighborhood, especially for someone who loves a full range of Asian cuisines feasting. The host kindly accommodated an early check in, which I do not take for granted at all. Thank you Nancy!

Cabo San Pedro - 1 bed - Stunning Ocean Views
Wow! What a view. Right away we had to pause and take in the amazing view of the coast. The pictures on Air B& B don't completely capture the location. We unpacked, poured a glass of wine and began relaxing. Just what we needed. The place comes with a cool tram to help shuttle your things up the hill to the front door. Being located just 15 minutes south of San Francisco, it was super convenient to visit the city and return to our little paradise in Pacifica. All in all, we enjoyed the visit and would highly recommend this location. Thanks for sharing your home Angel!

Bernal Heights 1 bedroom and office condo w/view
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!
