Waterfront vacation rentals in Northern California

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

We were lucky to find the perfect time for staying at this beautiful spot. It was a great location, with parking off the street, access to nearby headland trails- while still being walkable to the rest of town. Our host, Mary was the very picture of hospitality- reaching out to us to coordinate our arrival after a delay driving through the Bay Area; then again intermittently checking in with us to make sure there were no problems. Prior to our stay, she was also very helpful and listed recommendations on places to eat. We had a wonderful stay and intend to return to enjoy the lovely views and relaxing environment we find ourselves wishing we could live in full time.

Thank you for your hospitality. We enjoyed a relaxing stay with the magnificent and beautiful beach view.

Susan’s place was perfect for my short stay w my bf and our dogs. It had everything I needed and right outside is an ocean view, w a path to the beach. Special thanks to Susan for understanding when my dog had a potty accident and supplied new bedding and was very kind about it. Thanks!

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!!

My daughter and I loved staying here . The location is perfect for a true vacation. We barely needed to drive anywhere , as almost everything we needed was within walking distance . It is the perfect beach bungalow , and we can’t wait to go back !

This spot was adorable. Close to the bay and a block over from shops and restaurants. The inside was so cute and very comfy. I definitely recommend this spot. Just keep in mind, this is a high traffic area for homeless individuals. I kept my car empty and once inside i had no issues. The building is secure and because it’s on the second floor i felt very safe.

This property was an amazing space for my friends and I to enjoy the lake! I think it's the best spot in the entire area to relax and enjoy all that the lake has to offer. Deborah was extremely helpful and kind! We will definitely be coming back here soon.

We had a great long weekend at the house in Discovery Bay. The location was beautiful, the house was spacious and had all utilities that we could have wished for. Thank you very much!

Place was perfect for kids and I on spring break. Boat dock was awesome, and was a quiet, peaceful spot with lots of birds to watch in the morning. Danielle was awesome, super responsive, and helpful. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

Johnathan place was fantastic. We booked last minute and Johnathan was able to accommodate my family of 7. The place was clean, plenty of linens, comfortable beds. The back patio was also nice. The kids enjoyed the hot tub while I was out fishing. I did bring my own boat. We did catch largemouth, striper and catfish off the back dock. About 15 mins boat idle speed to fast water for those of you who are planning to bring your own vessel. Would stay again.

This place is amazing and such a nice retreat not too far north of the bay area. Often you find an Airbnb that isn’t fully equipped for cooking, bathing, living, etc. but this house is truly “turn key” and has everything you need. Add the grill and backyard space along the lake, and the arcade games, and it makes for a wonderful stay. We would love to stay again and again in the future whenever we need a quick break from the city.

Cindy is an amazing host, she is so responsive and easy to work with. Her home is beautiful and we love staying here!

This is a beautiful home located right on the water. The place was clean and the outside deck was a plus! The fridge made a loud buzzing noise during our stay but otherwise everything was perfect. 10/10 -- I'd recommend!

Lots of space to spread out. Great view and access to water. Kitchen is well stocked with all the tools needed. Sarah is very responsive.

Thank you Irina for allowing us to stay in your beautiful home. It was a very relaxing and fun at the same time. Definitely liked the ease to grewt fishing spots we would definitely come back to enjoy it again. The Nobles ❤️

this was a wonderful place, amazing views and very peaceful relaxing bday trip would love to come back

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!

We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

We loved staying at Greg's place. It was spacious and well-equipped and very close to the hot tub/sauna. We used the shuttle multiple times and frequently walked to restaurants for dinner. Greg was a very friendly and responsive host.

The beach was amazing, especially being able to walk out the door and only take a few steps to get there. The snack shop is limited but had some staples so it was definitely nice to bring some easy meals and we cooked most of them there. My had some basics there that made cooking easier (salt, oil, etc). Our two teenagers enjoyed having their own full bed. Stay here - great deal for a clean space.

The building is on the older side, but well kept and the unit completely modern. The parking is more generous than described in the listing, about 16' deep. Subaru Forester 15'+ fits fine with room to spare.

Marc’s beach view condo was absolutely beautiful. Spent a girls weekend there and it was very comfortable for three people. Kitchen was fully stocked, fireplace was nice and cozy. He was very flexible with our check-in time. I highly recommend this place if you’d like a peaceful location & quite beautiful ocean view. This is a perfect location in between Santa Cruz and Monterey/Carmel.

After a last minute cancellation by another property, we were lucky enough to find Blake and Lisa’s wonderful home. The whole space is beautifully renovated and the view is incredible. We actually changed some of our plans so we could spend more time staying in and watching everything going on at the beach. Getting to see dolphins from the kitchen, living room, and master bedroom was a real treat. The walking path along the beach is just steps from the door, as well as several restaurants, a market, and a deli. Parking was right outside the door as well, and the neighborhood was quiet. We can’t wait to go back and spend more time there. Thank you, Lisa, for being so accommodating and helpful with our last minute booking. We really appreciate everything!
