Newly remodeled 3bd/2bth in downtown Walnut Creek
Everything was exactly as described and very walkable to the Walnut Creek shops. The interior was excellent, and the beds were super comfortable. A great place to stay overall.

Beautiful Home. Gorgeous Views. Five Bedrooms.
We stayed for a long weekend for a wedding with our big family. The place was great! Bedrooms are spacious, views and grounds are beautiful! We really enjoyed our time and would highly recommend! Thanks Bill!

2 BR/3 BD/full BT, whole suite, parking, near SFO
Excellent place and great host !!

*Designer East Bay Remodel Home*
This place was perfect for our family of 5. We all had plenty of space and fun playing pool. The host was responsive and super accommodating! Would highly recommend.

Modern 3 bedrooms 2 baths private flat on 2nd FL
Great stay. One of the best appointed kitchens I’ve stayed in. House was lovely, comfortable and great for a group. Close to the beach and Golden Gate Park. Easy access to a Safeway and public transportation. I would absolutely stay here again.

Lovely 3 Bedroom house in SFO/Bay Area Wi-Fi A/C
Excellent experience! I rarely like staying at the same spot more than once. However, we will 100% look for this same listing again next time that our family is back in the bay area to visit our family. Great property!

G & M #1 Livermore Wine/ E-Bike Getaway (Pets ok)
Second time I have stayed here. Off-street parking spot is nice. Clean house and nice kitchen with a few farm fresh eggs from their chickens.

Cole Valley Casa
Our stay at Caroline's place was wonderful. We have two kids so the private outdoor space was great. The location was wonderful with restaurants, cafes, bars, grocery, etc. Also walking distance to Golden Gate Park. I would definitely recommend.
Pacifica beach vacation rentals

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.

5 minutes walk to the Beach & Ocean!
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.

Oceanfront Views - Steps to the Beach
We never wanted to leave! beautiful place, extremely gorgeous surroundings, lots to do nearby, great recommendations from Stefan and all the guests felt like they had the best room. I loved how pelicans would fly by right at eye level, we could pop down the beach in less than a minute, I could look out and see the endless ocean from almost any room, the kitchen was big and bright, and I even saw some whales migrating north!!

Half Moon Bay Coastal Home Walk Beach & Harbor SPA
We planned a family getaway with our adult kids and their spouses as a belated Christmas gift. Everyone picked Half Moon Bay as the destination. We have stayed in a lot of Airbnbs through the years, so many have been amazing but this one in particular offered such incredible touches to make us feel at home. Nancy really offers what an Airbnb experience should be. The house was perfectly clean, stocked with everything any of us could need along with special treats to enjoy. But what really struck me was not having to work through an endless list of rules and the fact that checking out was as simple as leaving a beautiful hotel stay. No endless cleaning or ridiculous particulars after spending $$$ for a stay. We felt pampered. Nancy is a 5 star host. We will definitely be back.

Entire house:Steps to beach and ample space
Loved the home. Very comfortable and great location for us. Beds comfortable. Kitchen well equipped. Would definitely return

New! Oceanview Penthouse, Walking to Beach
A great place to stay in Half Moon Bay! The walk up is surrounded by plants and flowers! Lots of space inside as well.

NEW!Beach Bungalow 4 Private, Clean,No Common Area
My husband and I have stayed at this property before, and it never disappoints. The setting is incredibly peaceful, exactly as described, and perfect for a relaxing couples' getaway weekend. The host was very responsive and made sure everything went smoothly. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily return. Highly recommend!

Steps to Beach Ocean Retreat / Private Entrance 4
if you are looking for serenity, Charles' garden doesn't get any better! Flowers, fields, and birds! Sunsets, beautiful. and you can skip to the beach. secluded but not isolated. Charles was helpful when I needed (only once). The space was good. would have liked a kitchen/kitchenette but it seved our needs. I slept very well!

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.

Muir Beach's Haiku House with Dramatic Ocean Views
This place felt like a bit of a splurge for us, but it was well worth it! Breathtaking natural surroundings aside, it was such a well-equipped home, with nearly everything one could wish for at your fingertips! From fire starting supplies to kitchen implements, Bluetooth speaker to flashlights by the bedside, Kathleen’s thoughtful, stylish amenities made us feel comfortable, cozy, and cared for! As someone else noted in their review, I’ve never returned to the same Airbnb twice, but we’re already longing for another stay at the Haiku House!

Ocean Front Beach Cottage with Hot Tub & Fireplace
Sigward was a wonderful host! He explained everything about his home and was very clear it is a more rustic place. The view was incredible and the sounds of the ocean soothing. We enjoyed coffee on the deck in the morning and a cozy fire in the evening. This beach home is a true getaway from the hectic world we and enjoyed every moment. I left my coat there and Sigward worked with me to find a solution to return it to me. Thank you again Sigward!

Coastal Cottage
All the little touches are so awesome - thank you!

Bubble House Upstairs Flat - 2 BR 1 BTH by Beach
Laura was a great host, very accommodating and responsive, and had helpful suggestions of things to do in the neighborhood. The place was very clean and cozy, had everything we needed to feel at home for a few days.

Artist's ocean view retreat
They say a picture's worth a thousand words, we'll pictures don't do justice to the indescribable views from Terrys property. The property is incredible but so is the owner, Terry. Book with confidence!

Ocean view house, beaches, trails, family friendly
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.

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.

Your guide to Pacifica
All About Pacifica
Just 20 minutes from San Francisco, the small beach town of Pacifica feels worlds away from the big-name destinations along the west coast. The city offers the perfect combination of nature and adventure, with miles of shoreline lapped by ocean waves. Pacifica’s beaches are distinct and varied, with soft golden sand, rare black sand, and pebble beaches just a couple of miles apart. There’s a strong surf culture here, with kayakers and paddleboarders keen to take to the water.
Along the seafront, you can enjoy a handful of bars, restaurants, and art galleries. The coastal bluffs and inland forests offer miles of hiking and biking routes with clifftop views and colorful wildflowers. Fishing and crabbing are also popular, especially during dungeness crab season, when the Pacifica Pier fills with locals hoping to pull in the prized crustacean.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Pacifica
The average temperatures in Pacifica vary slightly and are pleasant with low chances of rain most of the year — excluding some cold weeks in the winter. Anglers will want to consider booking their vacation rentals in Pacifica for July, when the bays around the coast are full of salmon. If you’d like to take advantage of the free crabbing available from the Pacifica Pier, it’s best to visit in the winter months when Dungeness crab is abundant. There are several surf events throughout the year. In September, you can celebrate Mexican California at Rancho Day Fiesta, with rancho food, Californian music and dancing, and crafts.
Top things to do in Pacifica
Sam’s Castle
Modeled after a Scottish castle, Sam’s Castle was built in 1908 as a safe haven overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It served many purposes over the following years, including a speakeasy and WWII barracks. In recent decades, its eccentric owner filled it with art, antiques, and other curiosities from his time as a theater decorator. The castle is now open periodically to the public.
Surfing at Linda Mar Beach
The southernmost of Pacifica’s beaches, Linda Mar is a mile-long stretch known as one of the best areas for surfing in the Bay Area. It has forgiving breaks suitable for newbies to challenging swells for advanced surfers. Seafront stores have all the equipment you could need to get out onto the waves safely.
Montara Mountain Trail
For unparalleled, 360-degree views of the Bay Area, you can hike to the summit of Montara Mountain from San Pedro Valley Park. Nestled in the Santa Cruz mountain range, the peak is 1,900 feet above sea level. The trail takes around four hours, and the vistas from the top are well worth it.
