Casa Del Mar, Spectacular Ocean Views!
Wow! This home has an exceptional setting - the spectacular views of the ocean from the great room are mesmerizing. The master bedroom and lower level bedrooms all have gorgeous views of the ocean as well. The Ocean Bluff Trail passes right behind the house, making it so convenient to explore the coast. Great for nature lovers - we saw seals, deer, rabbits, fox, and many varieties of sea birds. Also the home is pet friendly and our dog loved it! Thank you for sharing your lovely home!

Mendocino Beach House with Ocean View & Beach Path
Peaceful cozy home walking distance to everything beautiful Mendocino has to offer!

Oceanfront Bolinas hide-a-way
Could not be a better location! The house was beautiful, with an unbeatable view of the Pacific Ocean. Great wifi, well stocked kitchen, can't ask for much more.

Navarro Property - hot tub | beach | dog friendly
This was our second stay - such a special house situated in a perfect spot. We just love the feel of the place and it’s hard to beat the view and peacefulness of the location. Don’t miss the walk down to the beach (our kids and dog can manage the last little climb down with the rope), or sitting in the hot tub in the morning and evening. Easy drive to Mendocino and other spots as well.

Gorgeous Bungalow 3 blocks to beach
My family and dog stayed at Jeremy’s house for 5 days and loved every minute. The house is very spacious and airy, super well-maintained with lots of room to relax and enjoy. The front and back yards are big and perfect for a dog and kids. Everything you’d need is covered, from outdoor shower to a handy pooper scooper and toys for the dog. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, yet only 3 minutes walk to great burgers, pizza or Mexican food. And only 8 minute walk to The Hook or 38th Ave for surfing or beach. 5 minute drive or an easy bike ride to downtown Capitola. Jeremy was a fantastic host, always asking if we needed anything. Will definitely visit again!

Boardwalk Beach Oasis|2min wlk to Beach | 3bd3bth
Laura’s place was spot on for our short stay. Beach was a stones throw away, which is where the kids wanted to spend their time. The place was perfect, it was clean, spacious, and well equipped. Detailed instructions for the apartment to go alongside the stay and useful local information.

Cheerful two bedroom house near the beach
Awesome stay in Inglenook - good instructions to get to the house, everything was exactly as described and more: the kitchen was well appointed, great for staying in and cooking a few meals; the outdoor shower was fantastic; the photos of the large backyard doesn't do the property justice; and the private access to Ten Mile Beach was an absolute highlight of the trip (watch out for snowy plover in the dunes). The house itself was spacious, plenty of room for kids to find their own nook to get cozy in, and the beds were comfortable - the best part, for pet hair allergy sufferers like my son, the house was amazingly clean. Lots of great food in nearby Fort Bragg (Jenny's Giant Burger always hits the spot, multiple great places for fresh seafood in Noyo Harbor, and lots of brew pubs for a city of this size). And, for cyclists - there's some great XC trails in the nearby Jackson Demo State Forest, great for beginners, in addition to the Coastal Trail. Thanks for a fabulous vacation!

Casa Del Mar
Beautiful house. Amazing location. It was so amazing to walk outside to the porch and see and hear the ocean. Hearing the fog horn at night was wonderful. The sea lions in the morning were a great sound to wake up to. Perfect spot near by to see the sunset. This house is perfect for a group or a couples getaway. The neighbors are quiet, even thought their is a home preschool next door….we never heard a peep. Just an overall amazing place to stay. Cant wait to be able to go back.

Seascape Ocean View Condo
We absolutely loved our stay at Kristina’s condo! The place was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kristina was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this Airbnb – we’d definitely stay here again!

Ocean View - Casa Balena
Great stay for a low-key gathering of friends which included a few young children. Spacious common area was great for everyone to be able to hangout together. Kitchen was well-equipped; we cooked a few meals. The neighborhood is peaceful and beautiful. Responsive and friendly host. Flexible checkout. Would stay again!

Oceanfront Beach House
Lovely well kept home right next to the ocean! Enjoy lovely ocean views and the sound of the waves. Only minor complaint is the walk to the beach was a bit longer than expected since some paths were closed when we were there. Overall we had a lovely relaxing stay!

Beach Front Villa at Seascape Resort
Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).

3Bd/3Ba Tahoe Resort: Ski, Beach Access, & Pool!
Had a wonderful girl’s weekend at Aarati’s place in beautiful Lake Tahoe! Highly recommend!

Seascape Resort Ocean View Studio "The View for Yo
The place is great! Beautiful location and great access to private beach. It’s one room as described, equipped kitchen and dining. Although it says for 4 people, 2 people have to use the sofas to sleep. Good for couple and 2 children. I would definitely recommend this place and location.

Magical & Romantic Beachfront Home at Pajaro Dunes
We were so delighted to find this place- it exceeded our expectations. Lovely to wake up listening to the ocean and such a joy to return here every day. Fantastic views of the long, sandy beach and ocean which is just right in front of the property. This is a spacious property with beautiful interiors. The kitchen is also very well- equipped. Highly recommended. We had the pleasure of meeting Jo which was a delight. Thank you so much, Jo!

Amazing Welcoming Unique Ocean Home
My Son an I did a 5 day stay. The place was very centrally located on the pacific coast. The place was very cozy, clean and comfortable with outstanding ocean views from everywhere in the cabin. Good parking for two vehicles. Weather was so so, but did not hindered us a bit. We hiked at Muir Woods, the overlook and the beach all within 5 minutes away. We were able to go to San Francisco multiple times 35 minutes to do half day lunches or dinners and Sausalito 20 minutes. Yeshi was very responsive when we communicated, but really needed little assistance. The home is older and very charming. It reminded me of my own house growing up. Would definitely stay here again.

Lakefront Cabin | Beach-Deck-Epic Views | Sleep 10
Great place to gather with family and friends. The house was well equipped and kitchen was well stocked and very clean. Rooms and bathrooms are a bit on the smaller side but the common areas are spacious and cozy. The house has just amazing views of Lake Tahoe. We absolutely enjoyed staying here.

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.

Copper Nest beach retreat with stunning views
I can't thank Erin enough for this incredible stay! This house is ultra comfortable, and the bedding is nothing short of amazing. I've never experienced such a beautiful Airbnb before. The decor is thoughtfully and tastefully done, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Located in a protected reserve right across from the ocean, the setting is simply ideal and idyllic. A perfect gateaway.

Tahoe Lakefront Escape, Private Beach
Winans family was an absolute pleasure to stay with, the apartment was spotless, and they provided excellent local recommendations," "We had a wonderful stay . The communication was fantastic, the location was perfect, and the property was well-maintained,

Luxury Beach House - Game Room & Hot Tub
My family had a great time . The house is beautiful and the location couldn’t be better . Thank you for helping us make amazing memories.

Couples Cove a Couples Retreat
This property lives up to its reputation. It's a bit more than I would normally spend, but I have ZERO regrets. I was surprised at how much I liked Crescent City, too. Super friendly people. If I can, I will absolutely rent this place again in the future. I loved the amazing beach access and perfect view from spotlessly clean windows. (Beach rentals frequently have cloudy, spotted windows which impede the view. NOT this place.) The living room is like an infinity pool into the ocean. The property has everything you need and more, with thoughtful additions everywhere. Spectacular location, garage with easy access; nice laundry and beautiful, well-stocked kitchen; heated floors in the bathrooms and lots of clean, nice linens, including white bathrobes and big towels to use when going to/from the awesome hot tub. The only nitpicks I can come up with are that the guest shower was kind of small and cold, and the bed in the main bedroom was a bit creaky. Still super comfortable, though.
