Paradise Found :EV Charger,ONLY ONE PET allowed.
An absolutely beautiful home to visit!! Close enough to where you can drive to Mendocino or Fort Bragg for dinner but not be right in town. Beautiful sun room and deck. Everything was so homey feeling.

Brighton Beach Cottage, One Bedroom plus Loft
Back in Pacifica, combining business with pleasure. Great to walk by the ocean after working in South San Francisco just ~20 minutes away. Each visit, Michael has been thoughtful and proactively helpful, we look forward to coming back. Thoroughly recommend.

Stinson Oceanfront - La Sirena
We have stayed here before and the property is beautiful. We certainly cannot beat the location! The host goes above and beyond the kitchen is stocked, not only with spices and tea, all if New York congressman, Charles the paper products you could possibly need aluminum foil, etc. Condiments are abundant. We can’t wait to go back!

Coastal Retreat w/ Ocean Views
Our party consisting of three senior couples from Japan enjoyed the facility as well as the spectacular view from the living room very much. We will certainly choose the same facility if we come to San Francisco again.

Private retreat on Mendocino oceanfront property
Incredible spot, truly a perfect North Coast getaway that is even better than the pictures make it out to be. Maria was super sweet and responsive, and the check-in/check-out process was very simple. We will be back.

Panoramic Ocean views, Walk to Beach & hot tub
One of the cleanest most lovely Airbnb I’ve ever stayed in! There was 5 of us adults plus our 1.5year old and 2 dogs - there was more than enough space for all of us! The views are incredible! Spent a lot of time on the front deck looking at the ocean and doing puzzles. Kitchen is well stocked and the hot tub was perfect! Super comfy couch for lounging and watching basketball!

Dillon Beach Nirvana
Beautiful location. House was built mostly of wood, which was very appealing. Clean. Hosts were very nice and responsive. Minimum 30 minutes from shopping and restaurants with mostly two-lane winding roads to get to the major highways. The views were beautiful as you drive especially seeing so many animals roaming freely and feeding on grass. The drive can be wearisome. Wifi on the bottom floor was sketchy when I needed to use zoom for business. Also, there were high winds when we were there in mid-May making it feel colder due to wind chill. Overall, I'd give the experience 4.8 out of 5.

NEW!Beach Bungalow 4 Private, Clean,No Common Area
This was one of my favorite beach stays by far! So close to so many things in a great location with little to no traffic. The place was quiet, clean, peaceful, and so relaxing. We have everything we needed and more. We felt right at home. And the beach was just a street away. Great local places for food and drinks. Will definitely be back!

Russian River Valley Brew-cation Home
We had a group of 4 adults in town for a wine country weekend and this house was perfect for us. Each bedroom was spacious and each had their own bathroom which was so incredibly convenient. We prepared several meals in the kitchen and found it had everything we needed. Location was great for easy access to both northern napa and sonoma/russian river areas. Host was very responsive but honestly very little interaction was even necessary as everything in the house was as described.

Vineyard Retreat | 3BR Home Near Sonoma & Napa
This cottage in the vineyard was a little gem that provided the most beautiful backyard space for hosting our friends and family who were visiting Sonoma to attend my daughter's wedding. The raised bed gardens and vineyards that literally surrounded us were so welcoming and comforting and drew us outside for most of our stay. The house itself gave all the comforts of home and conveniences you would expect, was clean, and, close to the town, which we walked to several times. The cottage gave us the experience we wanted when visiting Sonoma and we felt the charm, character and history as well as gracious and friendly people wherever we visited. The Casita was an added bonus space with privacy and was a perfect space for my daughter, and now, husband to stay. Thank you for making our time there a memorable one and for the experience that made us feel we were literally in another country.

Woodside vacation home at Anchor Bay.
Denise is a fantastic host. Not only is the place gorgeous and accessible, but the amenities are top notch. She's very responsive and accommodating to any of our requests. We celebrated our one year anniversary here after having a great time last year and this could very well be an annual thing, it's very special to us. Hands down, must stay. Thanks for everything Denise!

Escape to Guernevilla, sunniest spot on the river!
A great place for families - lots of kid books and toys. Very well stocked kitchen! Comfortable beds and plenty of space for three guests. Really nice hot tub although a little loud. Very reasonable walk to river spots but narrow so be prepared to navigate a little if you have a stroller or wagon!

Montara Beach Mountain Escape
It's a very nice place to stay, away from the city but a quick drive away. The house itself feels very roomy and the outside is beautiful with open fields and Alpacas. The stunning beaches are just minutes away! The beds aren't the best, but workable. The booking process is through a different site which feels corporate-y with every request having a price and needing to sign additional waivers and identity verifications required. The floodlight camera in the backyard is facing the sliding glass door which doesn't have any curtains and feels like I could be watched sleeping on the sofa bed in the loving room. If you can get past all that, this is a great location!

Wine Country Cottage in Healdsburg
We stayed at Erin's wine country cottage for a few days as our "home base" while in town for the Food & Wine Event. Their studio unit cottage was cozy, and welcoming. We ate out and didn't use kitchenette beyond making coffee, but I noticed that it looked well stocked! The bed was comfy, which made for good sleep at night. The cottage location is great as it's close to the freeway yet still in a quiet, rural setting next to a vineyard, and just about a mile or so from downtown (we walked to town every day). Erin (& Tom) are both exceptional hosts. They're friendly, helpful, and have great recommendations for restaurants & wineries. Can't forget Hurley the lab... he's super friendly too!

Sundog - EV - Walk to Beach & Food - Yard for Dog
We had a very pleasant stay! The property was exactly as described in the listing—clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed. The beds were cozy, the kitchen had all the essentials, and the location was peaceful but still conveniently close to the beach and the general store. Check-in was seamless, and Valerie was very friendly and quick to respond to any questions we had. It’s clear that she takes great care in creating a welcoming space. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others looking for a reliable and relaxing place to stay!

Downtown Retro Bungalow Dog Friendly
Price was great even though there was a festival driving prices. The house is beautiful with loads of extra details. We love that. Allen kept us up to date on some WiFi repairsthat were done quickly and did not affect our stay at all. I’d definitely stay here again.

Your large family gathering home with Bay views
We loved the location because the house was very cool, had a fantastic view and the grounds were great. We liked walking our dog in the neighborhood. We live in Southern California in a similar neighborhood but some might find the drive to the house a little challenging but well worth it when you get there! We hope to stay again next time we visit our daughter.

Spectacular Vineyard View!! SPA, Close to Plaza!
What a wonderful home. Some descriptions say "5 min from this or that" but this really is a very short drive to grocery stores, restaurants and the Healdsburg town square. BUT at the same time extremely quiet and serene. Everything is very cozy, the decor is peaceful, the kitchen very well appointed, bathrooms, water everything is clean and easy to use. Owners were very responsive to a very minor issue that was cleared up very quickly - good to know they are _right_ there if needed. Although there is a busy road you don't hear it because of the wonderful landscaping and waking up to a vineyard every morning? That was just fantastic. Overall we had a great stay and would definitely come back!

2 BR/3 BD/full BT, whole suite, parking, near SFO
This home was a family-friendly respite for us in SF. We loved the cute and friendly neighborhood. Garage parking was easy and very convenient. And the beds were comfortable, with nice blackout curtains!

Vacation Beach Gem by the River/Hot Tub
It's a nice place with super comfy beds and fancy bathrooms, as everyone says! Unfortunately the living/dining spaces and furniture are much less comfortable, the layout isn't the most conducive to spending time together, and the kitchen was missing some key items. To her credit, Hila was very responsive and even overnighted a box of missing supplies, and offered to fix issues quickly. But a lot of things weren't there as we needed them: a kettle, oven mitts, foil, the salt was almost out, only canola no olive oil, etc. While there were a lot of nice touches around the house, there were just as many small annoyances that felt like they wouldn't be tolerated if someone lived there. If you plan to spend most of the day out and just come back to sleep, wash up, and hot tub, this is perfect. If you want to cook and be cozy/comfy together, maybe not ideal?

Top Quality Two Bedroom Home Near San Francisco
Our stay was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Everything was clean, as described, and in good working order. We didn't have any issues or concerns arise. Fatima was responsive and friendly, and she provided detailed instructions. It's a 30-second walk to Solano Avenue, which is basically Albany's small "Main Street", so it was really nice being so close to the cafes and restaurants there. The shared driveway situation is something to be aware of, so just know that it may take some coordination with the guests in the other unit. While most of the street parking spots were taken on the street that the house is on, I found that the next street over had plenty of available parking.

Only One block to Downtown Napa! Non-Hosted
Came to Napa with five friends. The house was beautiful and perfect for us. Each had their own bed and two bathrooms to share. We loved the walkable neighborhood and surroundings. Close to coffee shops, restaurants and wine tasting venues. Our host Chris was very communicative and helpful all along the way in helping us find a driver from the airport and wineries. And was accommodating in letting us check in a little early. I can’t say enough about our wonderful stay. Thank you for making our once a year get together a huge success!

Healdsburg Garden House
We stayed at Blake's when in town for a wedding at Ru's Farm right up the road -- very convenient. It is also walkable to town, though not always with sidewalks. Blake proactively let us know we could check in early and gave clear instructions and helpful recommendations. We loved the yard and garden, and the fresh cut flowers in the house was a lovely touch!

Winelight Vineyard Home With Spa
If you’re looking for a private sanctuary, this is the place. We enjoyed the large back deck for breakfast and then in the evening for storytelling after a lovely day in the Russian River valley. Our host thoughtfully provided everything one would need for a stay. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. Well done, Michael!
