TreeTops OceanView Retreat_HotTub_Month/LongTermOk
Had a lovely stay at Annette and Fred’s place - the location was great, the house was fully stocked and the hosts were extremely responsive when we had questions. Having a hot tub and gas fireplaces were an added bonus for spending the evenings admiring the views.

Lovely, Unique Home Near Everything
We loved this home. The area was great and near everything and the street was nice and quiet for the area. The home was immaculate, the care to maintain this home is obvious! Next time we are in San Francisco, this will be our first choice for lodging.

Lovely Cottage garden oasis w/Hot Tub near BART 🌹
Quiet, peaceful, beautiful garden, responsive host, ample street parking. Definitely worth the price. Plus there's a hot tub you can use after the end of a long day or before the start of one like how we used. MINUTES away from bars, restaurants, and shopping in Oakland. Great location. Thank you so much for the comfortable stay!

Redwood Treehouse, Downtown Mill Valley
I'm tempted to only say horrible lies about this place, because I want to keep this gem all to myself. But I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this place. The location was gorgeous, the interior design was beautiful, and the hot tub in the middle of the redwoods was just the cherry on top.

Secluded luxury cottage & hot tub
This Berkeley hideaway is tucked into a wooded neighborhood, providing a restful and quiet space to relax. It is still close to Berkeley for entertainment and hiking, and Tilden Park and the wonderful botanical gardens are just 6 minutes from this location. It certainly is a place we'd enjoy visiting again.

Private suite
Felt like it was just lke my home accept they have a hot tub that I used almost every night during my stay also had a beautiful garden. Is very quiet and relaxing.

Garden View Victorian Apt. in Temescal w/ Hot Tub
This is by far the best Airbnb I've ever stayed at. The apartment is gorgeous, cozy and comfortable. Beautiful (and Bay Area themed) decor and a fully stocked kitchen which is always so nice to have. They even had basics in the fridge for us and coffee and tea. There were also sweet touches like menus for local restaurants, guidebooks and history books for the Bay Area, which were so helpful to have! They really know their audience. The backyard garden was a dream and just walking to the entrance was so beautiful every time. We came in spring and the flowers were so fragrant! The house is close to lots of great places for coffee and food and super convenient for bus and BART. And finally, the host! Paula was so lovely! She was super responsive over text from the start. We also got to meet her in the backyard! Staying here was a total treat. I would highly highly recommend and will definitely book again next time we are in the Bay Area!

Beautiful light 2nd floor apartment
Charming and peaceful getaway. Enjoyed soaking in the hot tub, walking around the neighborhood, petting the cats, even being offered some Meyer lemons for my dinner. Very comfy bed, too! Just what I needed. Grateful for the respite.

Comfortable Whole Home on two house lot
This was perfect for our specific needs. Wrich is a fabulous and responsive host. Friendly and helpful! Enjoyed our stay and the whole process was very easy to navigate. No complaints!

Ground Floor Upgraded Victorian in Alameda 2BR/1BA
overall we really liked ramils place. it is very spacious and we loved sitting out on the front porch while the kids enjoyed drawing with chalk on the sidewalk. it was in walking distance to lots of great things including a great little coffee shop (lazy bird) and a playground. they had lots of amenities for people with kids including a stroller for us to use for longer walks. parking was really easy. the kitchen is huge and was a nice place to drink our coffee while the kids ate breakfast. kitchen was decently stocked but we ate out most nights. the only downside was the noise from upstairs. towards the end we were used to it but the first few days it woke us up/surprised us and felt very bothersome. however, I think we would stay here again despite that (and I'm sure we were plenty loud downstairs too). ideally there would be no upstairs noise but for the size, comfort and cost of this Airbnb I'd say it's worth it.

Beach Cottage Near Coastal Trail & Ritz
The house is in a great location and perfectly suited for a relaxing visit to the area. Great walks right out the front door and downtown Half Moon Bay is a quick drive or even a walk.

Boutique Garden Apartment-Temescal
I enjoyed my time at Audrey’s place. They are centrally located and the backyard is a beautiful place to work or unwind. Audrey, Jordie, and the pups were very friendly and hospitable. I would highly recommend their place for any guest visiting Oakland.

Cozy & Comfortable Sausalito Flat
I stayed here for a month and it was great, I highly recommend! As described and seen in the pictures. Annie was helpful and ensured I had everything I needed. I think this apartment is perfect for 1-2 people with a child or small/medium-sized pet. Clean and cozy with nice, warm lighting. The bed was comfy, kitchen was small but well-equipped, living room was roomy with a medium-sized couch, and bathroom more than sufficient. I loved relaxing on the deck as well! The neighborhood is hilly and beautiful, close to bus/ferry/restaurants/stores. Touristy downtown, but not as much in the immediate vicinity. I walked A LOT with my dog and enjoyed it, but the hills can be steep! Definitely a very safe area. The only “con” is, in my opinion, it’s just a bit expensive for the size. However, I understand it’s in a pretty wealthy neighborhood and am sure Airbnb fees/taxes account for a decent part of the cost. Suffice to say, this is a once-in-a-long-while stay for me. Hopefully that’s fair.

Welcoming Private Guesthouse
I was in Danville to visit friends. I had time and easy opportunity to walk Iron Horse trail out their back gate to the downtown area and to enjoy the shops, restaurants and ambiance. The area is desirable for so many reasons and John's home and guest house is another pleasant part of that attraction. Thanks.

Lovely 2 Plus BR Home w/Garden
It was the perfect place for our family to gather over the holidays. Cozy but spacious with that back cottage providing a separate space for separate couple.

Modern beach bungalow - 1/2 block from ocean
Absolutely delightful. I highly recommend this place. The home is lovely and well equipped. Excellent location. I have zero complaints! This place is something special and you will not regret booking.

Romantic Mtn Studio - Pool, Sauna, Views!
We had a wonderful trip to San Rafael. The house we stayed in was so lovely and cozy, with a really special and peaceful atmosphere. It felt like a little home away from home. Adam and Eli were incredibly kind and helpful. They answered all our questions and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. Their hospitality made everything even better. The area is beautiful, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. We’ve told our friends about this place, and they’re excited to visit too. It was such a sweet and memorable experience. We truly loved it!

Garden Oasis Suite with Spa and Pool, Walnut Creek
It was an amazing weekend, Mrs. Jenny was very attentive she made the stay so much better for every guest involved even my daughter!!! She is the type of person you look for when using Airbnb! I loved the unit and will DEFINITELY be back again!

Waterfront Marin Retreat with Pool & Hot Tub
My family (parents, grandparents, and kids) stayed at this great waterfront home in March 2025. My kids loved the heated pool, hot tub, and kayak! We liked the well appointed kitchen and having lots of space to spread out across the five bedrooms. The only downside is that’s it’s a bit on the well used side and could use touch-ups here and there and one bedroom is a loft so we had to be aware of the noise level downstairs. That didn’t stop us from having a great time and using this as our jumping off point to the city (15-30 min depending on traffic) or North Bay for hiking, oysters, and wine.

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.

Tropical Garden Cottage +HOT TUB &POOL by Downtown
I rented Polina’s place for my daughter and toddler grandson during their visit to the area because my husband and I did not have room for them to stay with us. It was an excellent choice - a lovely well maintained unit on the grounds of Polina and her family’s home in the hills above Walnut Creek. Very peaceful area, yet close to downtown and transportation options. Polina was so kind and helpful, the unit has everything one would need for a short stay in the area. Highly recommended and a good value for the area.

Private & clean STUDIO 580/680 Tri-Valley
If I could give a rating of 6 stars, I would. This is my go-place when I have to be in the Bay Area.....if it is available. Peaceful is amazing to work with. It has a great location, gated parking, very comfortable bed and more
