Spacious and charming 1bd apartment on Ocean Beach

AntonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

We had a lovely time at Yan Fang’s place, the location was perfect - we walked to the beach almost every day! It was also convenient to have the Muni metro stop right at the end of the street, we rode the Muni all over town (inexpensive and easy!). The house was clean and comfortable and Yan Fang included extra snacks and kitchen items for us, which was nice. We loved our time here and would recommend.

RobertaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

Bodega Bay-Magical Ocean Front and Coastal View!

GillianRating, 5 stars2 months ago
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Deja Blu. The location is perfection! Private, with beautiful gardens, only a hop, skip and a jump from the ocean. Falling asleep to the sound of crashing waves at night was divine. The home was clean and comfortable, and Barr was a lovely, helpful host. If you are looking to unwind in serenity, I highly recommend this home.

The home was beautiful, we truly enjoyed our time there. They say that pictures are worth a thousand words but pictures of the views from the multiple balconies are unable to capture how stunning they really are. The home was just as listed, clean and was the most stocked home we have visited. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding areas and made unforgettable memories.

Luxury loft by the water

SondraRating, 5 stars1 month ago
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

JonathanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This unit is a real treasure. Every moment of being in this unit, returning to it, and departing from it felt like a gift. Easily my favorite unit I've ever stayed in. The surroundings and view are all extremely beautiful, peaceful and even healing. Logan and Stephany are excellent hosts who communicated well before I even arrived. They were helpful and responsive to all my questions. Some things I learned after staying here: - this unit is better if you don't arrive with a car as proper parking is expensive. - Getting groceries will make you feel like Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible. But it's a lot of fun if you enjoy walking. - If you decide to go to the top of Coit tower, you can see some of this unit and the Greenwich steps from the tower. - Tourists regularly walk through the Greenwich steps and it was a real pleasure engaging with them as they did. - As if it the unit wasn't charming enough, hummingbirds can be seen flying through the gardens outside.

Cliffside Pacifica Hideaway: Unbeatable View!

CarlaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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!

Stunning views, top location, clean, safe

EdwardRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
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.
