Oceanfront Boho Retreat - Pacific Sunset Views 🌅🌊🐳
We had a wonderful stay in Pacifica! The home was exactly as described—clean, quiet, and very comfortable. The location near the beach was perfect, with stunning cliffside views and the relaxing sound of the waves at night. It was such a peaceful getaway, and we truly wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommend!

Cabo San Pedro - penthouse - Stunning Ocean Views
Our stay at Angels place was phenomenal, it was exactly what I was expecting. Being able to wake up to the beautiful view was like a dream. Everything from the communication, the instructions, the overall check in. The tram was a huge help being the stair case was being repaired upon our arrival and during our stay. The tram would have been our choice of preference either way. My wife and I are definitely going to be coming back. Both her and I enjoyed every moment being there and just want to say thank you Angel for allowing us to be able to enjoy our anniversary in your home. We now have a home away from home!

New Hidden Retreat-3 King beds, near San Francisco
We absolutely loved our stay! The home is maintained perfectly for guests - everything from the most common chargers on each bedside table, excellent WiFi, a night light in the room designed for kids, and every item you could possibly need in the kitchen. Beds were comfortable and rooms just right for a family. The yard and outdoor space was particularly special and perfect for a family get together, evening meals, and/or daytime activities. Thomas was exceptionally responsive and made check in a breeze. We will definitely be back!!

Summer-house/OASIS on quiet street in ROCKRIDGE!
Very homey and welcoming. Family enjoyed celebrating time together in all spaces of the house, especially the back patio where our young child made believe on the well-designed pirate ship. Friendly, kind host. We walked to adorable Rockridge and BART many times. Highly recommended.

Beautiful Large 4BR Home with POOL
This spacious home was absolutely beautiful for our stay! We especially appreciated the amenities that the home provided. Specifically, the pool and vast dining spaces were a perfect match for our large family. The location was in a quiet neighborhood, central to the attractions we wanted to see including downtown San Fransisco and the Winchester house. The homeowner was great with communication throughout the booking and check in/out process. Overall, we had a lovely stay in this gorgeous home.

Pool, Hot tub, Napa, SFO Clean
The place was clean and beautiful. We needed a home away from home while construction was going on at our place. And found it here.

Little Poolside House near Downtown Mountain View!
Staying at this small house with pool was just what I needed. Enjoyed all aspects of my stay!

Mission style, w. Pool, Hot tub, walk to downtown
We stayed at Sara's while visiting family nearby, but her home felt like a vacation in itself. The backyard is magical - we spent a fair amount of time there, swimming, grilling/dining, reading/napping. The backyard (and its myriad diversions) even lured our tech-obsessed teenagers away from their devices for extended periods. Everything was well maintained, no detail overlooked. We also enjoyed the access to a peloton bike and workout equipment. The interior was clean, organized, stylish but comfortable. The sunroom and small courtyard off of the bedrooms were great for yoga or stealing a quiet moment with a cup of coffee or book. Sara was responsive and attentive. Instruction booklet was clear and helpful. The stay exceeded our expectations. We hope to be back.

MCM Waterfront Pool/Hot Tub between SF and Napa
Fabulous trip! We were greeted warmly by Jana and settled easily into the spaces of this large character home on a quiet cul de sac. It worked perfectly for our group of four. We loved the peaceful feeling of being on the water and the nearby pathways along the bay; it's lovely to sit outside to read and sip something. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it is very well-equipped. We got in some great hikes and meals at Mt. Tam, San Rafael, San Anselmo, Fairfax and Pt. Reyes as well as a SFMOMA day in the city. A wonderful location! Don't hesitate.

3 BR Home on Vineyard nr Palo Alto & Stanford

Executive Home w/ Sun Deck
Absolutely perfect stay! Garrett was incredibly responsive and went above and beyond by sharing some amazing local restaurant recommendations. The house had everything I needed and truly felt like a home away from home—comfortable, clean, and well-equipped. Would definitely stay here again!

New! Charming Retreat with Hot Tub & Scenic Trails
Cute, well kept home in a nice neighborhood. Comfortable bed and the hot tub was great!

Bright Spanish-style home in Burlingame
Lauren’s place is fantastic. The remodel does a great job of matching the original architecture with updated appliances (the six burner Wolf stove, for example) and the decoration was just perfect for our taste. The location is fantastic — a short 3-4 block walk to downtown Burlingame and a Caltrain stop, close to 101 and 2-3 blocks from a nice park with tennis and pickleball courts. The only slight negative is there is some noise from planes landing at the airport nearby but it was most noticeable in the night when it could easily be blocked out with the fans in the bedrooms. The backyard is very large and the deck set up nicely for bar-b-queuing or enjoying a drink or meal outside. This is a very comfortable house and would come back without hesitation.

Sunlit 2B1B - Deck, Garden & View on Belmont hills
The second time staying in this cozy and peaceful place, this time for our extended family visiting Belmont. My 4 year old nephew and his family really enjoyed the stay. Not only the inside (which stayed cool even though it was early summer), but also the sunny backyard was really great. Lacey was responsive for any questions they had. Thank you for hosting us again!

Modern & Private 1BR w/ AC | Walk 2 Grocery, Shops
Husband and I stayed for a little less than a week and enjoyed our time! We had one compact SUV and parking was very comfortable for us. We appreciated the free snacks and water provided and slept well on the bed Saik’s instructions were easy and we would recommend this place to anyone

Spacious, Remodeled 2BR Duplex Unit by Downtown SM
Raymund's place was exactly as described and fit our needs perfectly. I appreciated how clean it was and the size was perfect. The off-street parking was key for us too. Raymund was a great host, providing clear instructions and lots of privacy. We hope to stay there again!

M&J Spacious 3BR2BA Home/San Mateo|104
