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.

Bright, Light & Ocean Views Apt
Such a lovely, sunny place in a wonderful location! The rooms are spacious and furnished so nicely. The King bed was very comfortable and perfect for my 6’7” husband. The balconies have great views. It was very easy to get there and check in/check out procedures were easy to follow. Being able to park at the back of the building was a nice perk. All in all, I would highly recommend this place. We will be back! Thanks for a great getaway!

Home in San Francisco modern 3 bedrooms 1.5 baths
parents first AirB&B, and they thoroughly enjoyed their stay. they felt safe and right at home. great communication, helpful tips with larger vehicles and the limited parking space available [comes with all living experience from what I saw everywhere]. answered all questions, gave recommendations for outings and was an all around great host. would stay here again if I go back.

Private Cottage House - Walk to Beaches Harbor
Very nice, comfortable place. Nice little market less than a block away, and plenty of things to see and do in the area. We'd definitely stay here again.

New Renovated SF Home by the Beach & Golden Gate
The Airbnb is very conveniently located close to the beach, a grocery store and some restaurants / cafes. The place itself has a good amount of space and a nice outdoor yard. We were traveling with our 2 year old so appreciated that she could run around outside. The place is recently renovated with full kitchen, and two bathrooms. Bathrooms felt very high tech! Overall we really enjoyed our stay here!

Modern Pillar Point View Suite
This was our first time using Airbnb and our host, April, set the bar high! It was such a pleasant stay, and nothing could have been better. She is very responsive and went above and beyond to accommodate us. My son slept on the couch and it was very comfortable. Everything was very clean and well taken care of. The views right out the front door are incredible and everything is a short drive or a little walk away. They have some beautiful trails to hike and bike right out from the driveway. If we make it back to Half Moon Bay, we will definitely be booking this again! Thank you for a great experience!

Relaxing Getaway with Breathtaking Ocean Views
fab place with amazing views! great surrounding areas with beaches and restaurants! thanks for the stay!

2b/1b nearby beach
We had a fantastic stay at James' place! From the moment we arrived, we felt right at home. James was a great host, giving us our privacy while always being available to help with any questions. The house was clean and well-maintained, making our stay even more enjoyable. The private backyard was perfect for our two dogs, allowing them to play freely while we relaxed. The location was perfect, and being so close to Fort Funston and Ocean Beach was a huge bonus for dog owners like us. We highly recommend this place for a wonderful getaway.

Stunning Sunset , OceanView, Coastal Home, Trails
Lovely house, perfect for our family with two young kids plus a senior (5 people total). It rained most days but the view of the ocean was still stunning. Great location with easy access to the city and all around the Bay Area if you have a car, but do note that there isn’t much within walking distance. Driveway was great to have. Quiet surroundings. Functional kitchen and nice to have the laundry in the garage. Nice bonus was the toy room. Easygoing, responsive host. Highly recommended!

Floating Oasis, Epic Views
I had a wonderful time on this adorable little houseboat, and I was always entertained when hanging around the place because of the floatplanes coming and going and the expansive view of the bay.

Kingfishers Waterfront Bungalow, Bayside Pier/Deck
This was a nice and peaceful place to stay, go paddle boarding (we brought our own boards, enjoy the quiet area, and the best perk was the furo. I was a bit bummed that the weather was not as good as the weekend before we came but that’s nothing the host could control. Hilary was very helpful and super responsive. She even let us use her tide waves book which was very helpful for us. Definitely a lovely stay.

Furnished 1 bedroom Apartment, Pool, Gym - Monthly
This is my second time at Henrick’s place and I can’t stress enough how great my experience has been in both times. Not only the apartment itself is great but the peaceful location and the beautiful surrounding adds much more value for anyone who is looking for gate away from the city. It is also very walkable to nearby attractions in Emeryville like the public market and Bay st for great food and shopping spots. And lastly throughout my whole stay Henrick was very communicative and professional making sure my stay was pleasant. I would definitely recommend it and would consider coming back again!!

El Cerrito single-family cottage
Close to the marina. Easy instructions from the host. Will be back next time we are in the area.

Charming Garden Apartment, Steps From The Beach
We enjoyed Heather’s bnb so very much, we plan on staying there every time we come to the Bay Area. Clean, quiet, comfortable bed, well provisioned kitchen, lovely and lush green patio. It may be that we stayed on a special holiday, Thanksgiving, but Heather made us a plate of fantastic chocolate chip cookies! Who could ask for more? Thank you, we loved it!

@ Marbella Lane - Oceanfront w/unobstructed views!
Staying at this beautiful home in Pacifica, CA was so beautiful. SUPER close to the airport, only a 13 minute drive. You wake up to the ocean right in front of you from a cliff/hillside view and it's just immaculate. Very private and quiet. Spacious, clean, and easy to access. It was just such an easy and wonderful stay my family and I loved it.

Mount Tamalpais View — the Heart of Marin County
Beautiful little spot nestled on the hillside! Loved the proximity to downtown San Rafael yet it felt like you were a world away on a secluded little street. You could feel the great care the owners have put into the unit - all high quality with thoughtful touches. I appreciated the well-stocked kitchen, and the bed was super comfortable. The hosts were kind and welcoming. My only regret is not having more time to spend on the deck with the view!

Gorgeous Half Moon Bay Home
The house reminded us of a lighthouse, its vantage point to the sea where vistas of surf breaking close to 180 degrees from our vantage point. We walked to Mavericks, local restaurants, cafes, and local grocer, just one block away. We bbq’d a few nights and made meals in the spacious kitchen, as I mentioned before all windows face the ocean. It felt as though time had slowed, and we became part of the mana. A very memorable stay for myself and three adult sons.

Steps Away From The Beach Home
Jun’s place was wonderful. Very clean and comfortable and being just a block away from the beach was a great perk. Highly recommend it to anyone coming for a visit in SF.

Gem by the sea none-obstructive ocean view
The property was exactly as advertised and exceeded our expectations. The daytime views were spectacular, and the sunsets were absolutely breathtaking - perfect for unwinding after a day of exploration. We loved how conveniently located it was to both beautiful beaches and plenty of shopping and dining options. This place offers tremendous value for the price, and the layout worked wonderfully for entertaining our family. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-situated getaway!

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.

Sea Wolf Bungalow
Magical property! Unbelievable white water and coastline views out of every window! Impeccable restoration of a historic cabin with high end modern comforts while keeping all the vintage charm and showcasing unique and lovingly curated fixtures and findings. Kim is a 5 star plus host with fantastic taste. You could not ask for a better experience. Highly recommended. In April we saw pelicans flying at eye level, hawks in the trees, whales spouting off the coast, seals below off the rocks - all from the house! Extremely comfortable bed and furnishings. Plenty of books and games to choose from. Tons of hiking nearby. Fresh seafood and farm produce. You will have a hard time leaving the house though. It is that nice! Kim covered everything from a to z and beyond to ensure our comfort and ensure an outstanding experience. And that is exactly what we had!

Ocean View Moss Beach Retreat
The listing is a great location right next to beach access. The space had more than enough bedrooms and bathroom with a laundry room. It has a tankless water heater so hot water is infinite.

Walk-to-the-Beach-Bungalow
Beautiful home in a beautiful location. I live nearby but hadn't tried one of the nearby restaurants on Ruth's recommendation list. The Barn is now a new favorite!

House steps from the ocean
This is a very well located property within walking distance of the beach, multiple coffee shops, and spectacular parks. We were able to go on multiple hikes on the Lands End Trail and rent an e-bike to cruise through Golden Gate Park. There aren’t a ton of restaurants immediately around the property but you don’t have to walk more than 20 mins to get to some good options. The property itself was comfortable. Loved being able to sleep with the windows open in the middle of the summer and the patio out back was nice in the evenings. My only “complaints” (if you can call them that) are that the showers are a little cramped (probably not unusual in urban SF), and the place is noisier than I’m used to at night being on a corner lot (nothing that ear plugs and white noise didn’t drown out). All in all, great value and location.
