Luxury Warm Cozy Home
My husband and I stayed for about 10 days. Quiet neighborhood. Rick's place was clean and cozy. When I needed to contact Rick, he was available to answer my questions right away. He was responsive and pleasant. Accessing directly from the parking lot (covered, assined space) to the apartment was very easy and quick. I would stay here again.

Aquatic Park Place - beautiful location!
This is a real gem of a find in SFO. Great hideaway in the middle of everything around Fisherman’s Warf Modern, clean, and very private.

Garden Ocean view Apartment
Paul’s place is absolutely stunning and the view will absolutely not disappoint! He is a great and responsive host, and we really enjoyed our time there 🖤

Spacious and charming 1bd apartment on Ocean Beach
Awesome place near a beautiful ocean beach in a very quiet and lovely area. It's perfect for walking or running along the shore. Golden Gate Park is nearby - about a 30-minute walk along the beach. Just a 5-minute walk to the subway station. The area is very quiet - we slept well every night. Plenty of street parking is available. Nick is an awesome host - very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

SF Coast Work/Play/Hike + HotTub
Great stay.. kids loved the game room!

Oceanfront at La Paz in Stinson Beach
A great return visit to La Paz! The upgrades are nice and the location is awesome! Everything is as described. Good communication, easy check in and easy parking. Quick walk to town and even quicker to the beach. One of my favorite rentals in Stinson. Highly recommend!

Luxury Penthouse Retreat with Panoramic Bay Views
Alexander and Ben’s home was beyond my expectations. Every morning, I woke up and either jogged or walked. During my stay, there were three Giants games, and I experienced FOMO as I heard the crowd cheering. The space was beautifully designed, and the views were the highlight of my trip! I ended up staying in every night because I felt so at home and took in the amazing skyline of SF. I will definitely be back again and again. Thank you!

Lakeside retreat filled with art
Mary’s place was very comfortable and homey, and Mary was extremely accommodating and communicative. Highly recommend if you would like a place to stay in the bay!

San Francisco Bay Area Ocean View, sleeps 10, 5 BR
This house was amazing and super clean. The view was incredible. We very much enjoyed our family event of 3 days. I would highly recommend this place.

Oceanfront Views - Steps to the Beach
My team had a wonderful time at Stefan's place! The ocean views are magical and the house is very spacious. Incredible spot about an hour away from SF and Palo Alto. Stefan was very communicative and friendly. Check-in and check-out were simple. Very clear house rules. No complaints at all! We will definitely be back.

Lagoon Front Living in SF Bay Area
Gabrielle’s place was exactly what I needed for a peaceful get away from the city. It looked exactly as it did in pictures but so much more beautiful up close and personal. The personalized touches and friendly reminders were so well thought out and complimentary to my stay. Gabrielle was friendly and helpful; always responding with kindness and respect. I highly recommend this place for a wonderfully quaint and peaceful getaway.

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

Magical Beachfront SF Bay Retreat 3BR 1.5B
What a peaceful retreat and a wonderful host! We have stayed on Richmond Point several times while visiting our daughter at Cal and it never disappoints. The view from here is incredible! And Vivien’s place is just perfect. You have the entire lower level to yourself, with your own private deck literally on top of the Bay, with views of the city and both the Golden Gate and the Bay Bridge. It’s a great location to get to Cal, to S.F. or wine country. And Vivien is the perfect host—welcoming but not intrusive, and just simply delightful. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Spacious Waterfront Home, near San Francisco, Napa
We really enjoyed staying at Charlene and Joe’s house. It was very comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy meals at home. We especially loved sitting out on the deck right on the water. They are great hosts and great communicators!

Bolinas Beach Home
Such a beautiful spot ! The view and the deck are just breathtaking… so much marine life and lovely birds swooping by all day. The deck was not as well cleaned as the house , but we didnt care one bit ! Swept away cobwebs and had a great stay. Thanks so much, Matthew. All the best, Alma

Relaxing Getaway with Breathtaking Ocean Views
This is a great place to stay! The house was so clean..beautiful views..we saw a whale from the family room. Very hospitable, Bernardine was easy to communicate with. Our family cannot wait to return!
Waterfront condo rentals

Luxury Penthouse ~ Best View of San Francisco
Amazing condo. There is literally no other way to see the Bay Bridge like this, it's absolutely worth the view!! There were also stocked snacks and beautiful flowers 🥰

Luxury loft by the water
As a solo female traveler in town for business, this place was great. Short distance to the office but had everything you needed for working remote. Loved the kitchen set up and had everything I needed to make breakfast and dinner. The bed was so comfortable, I didn’t want to leave! My rav4 fit well in the garage. The walking path outside was great for either starting your day or winding down.

Historic cottage on Greenwich steps with Bay Views
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during our visit to San Francisco, this is why we came back for our 2nd stay at this apartment. The apartment was a real gem - peaceful, well-equipped, and in a fantastic location. Absolutely loved the beautiful views, both from outside and inside the unit. It was the perfect setting to unwind after a long day of sight seeing! The apartment was spacious and thoughtfully furnished, with everything we needed readily available. Logan and Steph were outstanding hosts - friendly, helpful, and attentive. Their communication was excellent, and they really made us feel welcome. A big thank you to both Logan and Steph for such a memorable and comfortable stay. We will be booking to stay with you for a 3rd time in the future for sure!

Cliffside Pacifica Hideaway: Unbeatable View!
The house has a beautiful ocean view off the back balcony! We loved seeing the ocean from the bedroom window or sitting in the hanging egg chair on the patio. The home is very open with plenty of space for a large family (even with just two bedrooms, it really fits 8 comfortably!) The host was responsive even late Saturday evening when we needed some supplies. We would definitely come back to this Airbnb!

Lux Water View with Balcony Minutes -San Francisco
Great host and place. Quiet part of Oakland if there’s such a thing, lol exactly what we wanted.

Stunning views, top location, clean, safe
Julia’s place was great! We came to SF to participate in the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon, which is based just a block away from Julia’s place on the Marina Green. Julia’s place is fully equipped and we cooked all our meals in. The building and neighborhood were peaceful and quiet and we got to bed early every night. Beautiful views straight out to the Bay and Alcatraz Island. 5-10 minute walk to a supermarket in one direction and the Chestnut Street commercial district with great shops in the other direction, so we were able to get everything we needed without driving. Julia was a great host, and next time we are in town we would love to stay there again.
