Top Floor Luxury Beachfront Apartment
Daryl and William were an excellent hosting team. Daryl proactively reached out to welcome us and William was an incredible property manager, starting our stay off with quite the welcome - fresh flowers and treats from Tartine! The condo was exactly as described and we savored coffee every morning, taking in the ocean front view. The fridge was stocked with water and seltzer. The amenities were all clean and high-end. We were sad to leave! Thank you for graciously hosting us in this lovely apartment.

Stinson Oceanfront - La Sirena
La Sirena was a wonderful rental! The location is unbeatable with great views of the Pacific Ocean and easy access to the restaurants in Stinson. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well appointed! They thought of everything!! Will be back!!

Aquatic Park Place - beautiful location!
An outstanding stay at Helena’s beautiful apartment. Great outdoor area. Excellent space and very tastefully decorated. Everything you need for a great stay.

Beautiful Lake Merritt
Foremost is what an outstanding host Brian is. He was consistently responsive and helpful, and always good-natured. Whenever we needed anything, Brian was very quick to provide it. The apartment was more than adequate for our needs--I especially liked the walk-in closet and the view of the plants on the back deck. The office space was good for getting work done, and the futon couch there could have served as another bed, though the space is open. There is a step up to the bathroom, which has a nice roomy shower, and everything very clean. Also a step up to the kitchen, which can handle one person at a time. Fridge, range, microwave--all clean and of recent vintage. The neighborhood was quiet, even with a handy laundromat and coffee shop just around the corner. We also liked how close we were to Lake Merritt--good walks. We would definitely stay here again, and hope that we'll have the opportunity.

Spacious and charming 1bd apartment on Ocean Beach
Had a wonderful time. Loved being so close to the beach. Laundry was easy and accessible. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

SF Coast Work/Play/Hike + HotTub
We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The place was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with all the essentials, including strong WiFi, parking, and bathroom amenities. The location made it easy to get into San Francisco while still having a quiet place to return to. Also great views and near to hiking. What really stood out, though, was the host’s incredible responsiveness. We had a lock issue during our stay, and they went above and beyond—driving an hour and a half to personally bring us a key to the side door to ensure we felt safe. That level of dedication and care made all the difference, and we truly appreciated it. Highly recommend this stay to anyone looking for a convenient and well-hosted experience!

Sunset
A beautiful rental property on the bay! The location is close to some of the best spots in Bodega Bay. The deck sold us and did not disappoint. It’s great to enjoy your morning coffee and watch local wildlife swim by. The property company was very responsive and helpful with our stay. Highly recommend to couples wanting to do a quick getaway! Also being pet-friendly is a huge bonus!

Lakeside retreat filled with art
The rental worked well for our visit to Oakland. We liked the large bedroom (lots of space for suitcases, big closet, etc) that afforded privacy from the kitchen/living area. The kitchen was sufficiently supplied for cooking though we only used it for breakfast & takeout. It was also nice to have easy access to the Lake for walks. Marie responded quickly to inquiries & overall a great visit to Oakland.

Oceanfront Boho Retreat - Pacific Sunset Views 🌅🌊🐳
Beautiful space that was well appointed. The home was super clean. Al was an attentive host, answering any questions we had. This location is special. Beautiful ocean front sites and sounds and at the same time being close to the city and the airport. We had a great time relaxing in the backyard, hiking up Mori point, and visiting the pier. Welcoming destination, would recommend for a relaxing getaway.

Lagoon Front Living in SF Bay Area
I had such a lovely stay at this unique top-floor Airbnb in Alameda! Nestled right by the lagoon, the location was peaceful and scenic, with gorgeous light filtering through the windows all day. The space had this wonderful artsy, hippy-aunt energy — full of character, cozy nooks, eclectic decor, and little touches that made it feel like a true home away from home. It’s the kind of place that invites you to slow down, breathe, and enjoy a good book or a walk by the water. Super comfortable, clean, and well-stocked with everything I needed. Alameda itself is a charming escape just outside the bustle of SF, and this spot was the perfect base for exploring. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something with heart and soul. I’d absolutely stay here again!

DREaMWEaVER G'ville Hot Tub Woodstove Fenced Yard
Our family had a wonderful weekend getaway at Dreamweaver. The house was so welcoming with a super well equipped kitchen, spacious rooms, wood stove, hot tub and a beautiful view of the the river. It was a chilly weekend and the firetable outside kept us warm while near the hot tub. We couldn’t’ have had a nicer time.

Ocean Views with Private Hot Tub, Gourmet Kitchen
This amazingly beautiful home was very well equipped with everything a home would have , and then some!! Awesome view from the big picture windows, great hot tub, huge main bedroom and three other bedrooms. Lots of toys for the 3-year-old as well as a high chair and a kid-sized card table. Plenty of supplies for the kitchen and bathrooms. Thank you!

Magical Beachfront SF Bay Retreat 3BR 1.5B

Spacious Waterfront Home, near San Francisco, Napa
This was a great place for our family. The house is very well equipped with everything we needed, and the hosts were communicative and helpful from beginning to end. We really enjoyed staying here. Thank you!

Bolinas Beach Home
Matthew’s place is nestled in a dead end street within walking distance to the beach and downtown Bolinas. Quiet with unbelievable views from multiple locations within the house. The house is ideal for relaxing and jumping off point for hikes throughout Muir Woods, Marin Headlands, and out from Stinson Beach. Would highly recommend.

Ocean Front Paradise w Hot Tub&Fire Pit
Had a really relaxing family reunion retreat at Alyssa's gorgeous oceanfront home! Huge spacious deck with amazing ocean views and the most beautiful sunsets. Loved how the cypress trees gave a little privacy to the main balcony as well. Firepit was such a joy to lounge around and enjoy our bottles of wine with the family. There was a good amount LOVED the hot tub and that view of the ocean from the hot tub!! Kitchen was really well stocked with cooking utensils for us to cook breakfast and dinner for two nights. We will definitely be back for more family reunions, thank you Alyssa for the hospitable stay!

Luxury Penthouse ~ Best View of San Francisco
Stayed here for a date night and it was a pretty amazing. The view is incredible. Definitely an experience, and my date loved it. The condo is very clean and the beds are comfortable and soft. Host is very responsive and was available to us throughout the stay. The only con was the parking. I mean, it’s San Francisco…I get it, but get clarity on the instructions and be careful if you need to double park temporarily, there were cops everywhere when we arrived. All and all it was a wonderful stay!

Historic cottage on Greenwich steps with Bay Views
Logan's place was a fantastic place to stay. I was travelling solo for 2 weeks for work and was initially worried about safety and accessibility (especially given the 100 steps to reach the apartment). But I needn't have worried. The area felt super safe and friendly and the steps were very manageable, even if a bit of a workout. I was rewarded with a great view of the bay from my windows and from the small deck out the front. The apartment was clean, well equipped and had everything I needed for my stay. It was also in a fantastic area. 100 steps down was the Embarcadero and waterfront area with an easy walk to Fisherman's Wharf and the Ferry Building, and 100 steps up and it was an easy walk down to North Beach for great food, wine and coffee. Logan was super responsive and helpful. I highly recommend this place for a fantastic San Francisco experience.

Fine Accommodations by the river!
Somehow I missed animals in the house. my bad I'm sure. I was a bit tired from driving and gps taking me the long way. Thank you for your patience. Thank You for having me.

Cliffside Pacifica Hideaway: Unbeatable View!
