Vacation rentals with beach access in Tamalpais-Homestead Valley

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

Awesome space with a great view

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.

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!

Meg was helpful and friendly and a very clear communicator. The space felt like home, has a sweet vintage vibe with an adorable kitchen, comfy bed and living room. It’s close to the beach and downtown. I would definitely recommend!

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!

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! 💗

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

Beautiful home, from the courtyard entrance to the inside. The colors and decorations inside fit the coastal location reminding you where you are. And by far some of the most spectacular views and sunsets we got to see from the windows looking out to the ocean from the living room and upstairs loft area. Besides the spectacular views, we enjoyed the short walks to the beach and looking at all the beautiful flowers and vegetation that Bodega Bay offers. Natalie was very responsive and accommodating. I would highly recommend staying at her lovely home.

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.

This was our 2nd stay at Kathleen’s amazing home. The peace and beauty can’t really be captured in the pictures, it’s so much better in real life! The architecture of the house is very cool, we loved all the wood elements. The stairs up to the house are no joke, so be prepared for that, but you are rewarded with amazing views at the house. We plan to come back again and again if possible. Kathleen was very responsive and accommodating. Highly recommend!

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!

It's a nice place with super comfy beds and fancy bathrooms, as everyone says! Unfortunately the living/dining spaces and furniture are much less comfortable, the layout isn't the most conducive to spending time together, and the kitchen was missing some key items. To her credit, Hila was very responsive and even overnighted a box of missing supplies, and offered to fix issues quickly. But a lot of things weren't there as we needed them: a kettle, oven mitts, foil, the salt was almost out, only canola no olive oil, etc. While there were a lot of nice touches around the house, there were just as many small annoyances that felt like they wouldn't be tolerated if someone lived there. If you plan to spend most of the day out and just come back to sleep, wash up, and hot tub, this is perfect. If you want to cook and be cozy/comfy together, maybe not ideal?

My family of 7 adults and 3 kids had an amazing stay! The place was super cozy and we had a great time enjoying each other’s company in the kitchen and living room. The location was so close to everything in Half Moon Bay. Highly recommend!!

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.

One of the best Airbnb stays I’ve ever had. The view alone is worth it — absolutely stunning, especially at sunrise and sunset. The house was spotless, super modern, and had little luxuries that made a big difference — like heated floors and even heated toilet seats. If you’re looking for a peaceful, high-end place to unwind in Half Moon Bay, this is it.

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!

Beautiful condo only a block and 1/2 away from the beach/pier. The home was fully stocked and the beds were very very comfy! Loved the outdoor patio area with the fire pit.

Great stay in the Bay Area

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.

Had a great time, View was amazing! We thought the tram was awesome.

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

Beautiful home and felt very comfortable! Jan was very kind and quick to respond, my friends and I would definitely stay again!

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!!
