Beautiful bright studio near the park and the beach and Christina was very responsive and accommodating
Rental unit in Alameda
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 124 reviewsLovely apartment in Victorian home
I wish I had time to cook in this great kitchen space! Very welcoming and comfortable living space. Many amenities. If I have anything to say to other guests that should be considered it is the size of the bed and bedroom. It is a full size bed in order to allow space to comfortably move around all sides. Could be a little tight for two. However, I had recent rotator cuff surgery and was thankful for having other sleeping options in the living room to elevate and get comfy while allowing my husband to have peaceful nights. Thanks Bruce & Chris!

We had a great stay at Cranson's place. It was well thought out and organized. Everything you could possible need was taken care of and explained thoroughly. The available parking space was a luxury that you usually do not find in San Francisco. The place was clean and comfortable with a really nice patio with a view of the ocean. I highly recommend it. We would definitely stay there again!

This place is so cute and convenient for a stay in the Bay Area. We really appreciated the recommendations Lili provided. Extremely convenient walking distance to a bunch of stores and restaurants. Overall such a clean, spacious place full of character.
Rental unit in San Francisco
4.98 out of 5 average rating, 380 reviewsBeautiful Private Garden Apt. Nr. Golden Gate Park
This was our first time staying at Toni’s but it won’t be our last. This a great location a couple of blocks from the Park in one direction and a few blocks to Clement and Geary with lots of restaurants and shops in the other direction. The flat itself met our needs perfectly and Toni is a great host. No need for a car since the Muni system is easy to navigate and SF is great for Uber/Lyft. A wonderful place to enjoy a great city. And, if you are a runner GG Park is a great place to run as is the Presidio up to the GG Bridge (under 10 miles R/T, including crossing the bridge).
Rental unit in Carmel-by-the-Sea
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 868 reviewsPrivate romantic 1 br in Carmel Woods- love dogs
A truly unique view over one of the last native groves of Monterey pines. This is a cozy studio that is perfect for two! We’ve been looking for years for a place like this in the area. We couldn’t have been happier in this space for the few days we stayed. This home fills us with joy and couldn’t be more thankful that Susanne and Reg provided this space to us.

This place was truly a gem of a find ! As soon as u open the door to the adorable sun porch, U smile. He provides a bench to take off your outside shoes and put on the provided house slippers. Upon entering g the interior of home, a hand written welcome card was waiting for us. Instantly U can feel your body and souls start to relax and shed the daily grind. It was impeccably clean and beautiful throughout. Plenty of pots and pans available, as well as a Britta water filter in fridge, and many cooking essentials. Al provided a proficient amount of soft towels etc for the bathroom. The various games around the home, were a fabulous touch. Both front and back yard delightful with the fire pits. The beds were very comfortable. To me a home free of carpet and cleanliness are non negotiable, this place met my every desire! We definitely plan to return !

We had a great stay and really enjoyed the amazing ocean views from the deck and the house. Easy walk to local restaurants and grocery store, quiet neighborhood, easy access to the freeways. Felt safe in the neighborhood. Arlene is a very attentive and helpful host. Nice attention to detail in the home down to the little magnetic clasps that hold the curtains shut.

We loved the Beach House. Spent the weekend for wife’s birthday and it was amazing. The views of the ocean are breathtaking. We listened to the sound of the ocean and caught a beautiful sunset that was the perfect backdrop for great family pictures. We would definitely come back.

We really enjoyed our stay at Jon's place. The views were amazing! Cooking in the kitchen or on the BBQ on the deck were much more enjoyable overlooking the ocean. The hot tub was nice too. Everything was clean and tidy. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The deer running around the neighborhood were fun to watch. We would definitely recommend Jon's place to any family/friends visiting the area.

Home in Berkeley
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 128 reviewsChill Urban Oasis at the Calmpound!
By far one of the best AirB&B stays. Heather greeted us right away with her beautiful smile and welcoming energy. This is a hidden gem in Berkeley. Fruit trees. Great books. Off-street parking. Artistic touches everywhere. Eclectic coffee mug selection. The details of the property give it such personal charm that you’ll want to stay longer and absorb the positive vibes. Heather and Steve went over and above to make our stay comfortable. We will definitely be back!

Condo in Watsonville
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 201 reviewsOne of a kind full River and Ocean view!
You can’t beat the view at Arlene’s. We were there for the nature and it did not disappoint. Arlene also has tennis equipment, boogie boards, a telescope, games, and beach chairs. This location is remote but we liked that. It is a 20 minute drive to stores and restaurants but that is ok as long as you plan for it. You have access to a private beach since it is a gated community. Our kids loved the activity center. The beds were comfortable and the Roku that allows you to log in to streaming apps was nice to have. Easy access to Monterey and Big Sur. So much nature to visit in this area, even within the resorts gates!
Condo in Pacifica

Super cozy home in a great location, perfect for exploring the area. Just a 5-minute walk to the beach and close to nearby stores. Anna and Alex were amazing hosts, always quick to respond and very helpful. I would definitely recommend staying here!

I've been coming to Pajaro Dunes for many years. This condo is by far one of the best I've stayed in. Easy access. Quiet. Peaceful. Lovely accommodation. Everything you need for a vacation at the beach. Highly recommend!
Condo in Pacifica
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 160 reviewsLuxury Beachfront Penthouse near SF (Blue Wave 4)
One of my favorite airbnb's I've ever stayed at. It was even nicer than the photos, really easy, seamless communication. The instructions for check-in and details about the condo were super clear and upfront. The condo is beautiful and has everything you need. It is literally right at the ocean. The first day, I just sat on the balcony for hours, listening to the ocean. The location is amazing -- you're on the ocean, but just 15 min away from SF proper and the airport. Amazing!

Condo in Watsonville
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 427 reviewsA Total "Distanced" Coastal Experience!
This has to be the nicest AirBnB experience we’ve ever had. The location was dreamy — couldn’t have asked for anything more perfect. Easy access to pristine and nearly deserted beaches, lots of beautiful birds, a lovely nature trail around a pond. The condo was extremely well-stocked… we lacked for nothing! We explored Monterey and environs in the mornings and spent leisurely afternoons and early evenings on the beach. Already dreaming about coming back some day!
Condo in Capitola
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 141 reviewsSeaview Condo - 150 Steps to the beach!
We have stayed in Capitola several times over the years and hand's down this is our favorite rental. Location is perfect and the rental is well maintained and decorated. The large ceilings make the unit feel much bigger than it is. We will definitely stay here again as Jennifer was a great host!
Condo in Aptos
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 154 reviewsSeascape Oceanv hot tub, pool, EV, Aptos, Cruz
Sally's condo has the most amazing ocean views! It took my breath away as I walked into her place. I loved being able to hear the ocean waves too. I have stayed at many other Seascape units before, but this was my favorite! Sally was very easy and flexible to communicate with. Her condo had everything that we needed. Thank you Sally. We will be back!
