Waterfront vacation rentals in Northern California

Anna Marie’s airbnb was a pleasure to stay in. It is very comfortable and peaceful. Neighbors are friendly and quiet. The house is split into two airbnbs with separate entrances, so we did not have access to the backyard but that was fine because we were mostly out and about. There was a guest staying below that we did not hear at all, and only noticed when we met her outside as she was checking out. The house was very clean, the bed comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. The AC worked well and quickly. I would definitely book again for a future stay.

Easy checkin, comfortable bed, and amazing views. Couldn’t have asked for more!

Terrific place! Very comfortable and in a fantastic location. Talitha and Allen are outstanding hosts.

Great cozy spot. Fireplaces were a nice touch!

It was beautiful, would def stay there again

We had a wonderful time at Black Sands Inn! The location was incredible, and the room was very well decorated with comfortable furnishings. There's a cute coffee shop next door and good restaurants nearby. You can't beat the beach access directly from the room. It was a really gorgeous location and a cute little apartment. We wanted to move in and never go home. We'll be back!

Evan and David were bother very helpful and responsive to my questions. The spot was nice and convenient walk to the beach. Enjoyed the stay and would book again in the future.

A great return visit to La Paz! The upgrades are nice and the location is awesome! Everything is as described. Good communication, easy check in and easy parking. Quick walk to town and even quicker to the beach. One of my favorite rentals in Stinson. Highly recommend!

Airy, comfortable and immaculate place. Watched surfers, seals, whales and birds everyday.

Seth is an amazing host. Responds are timely and helpful. The house is clean and new. High end appliances and furniture. The kitchen is especially impressive, and yes the knifes are sharp! We saw fox and deer during our stay and enjoyed the wonderful view. Thank you for sharing this great place.

We had such a wonderful and relaxing time at Jason’s house. The views were amazing and the location is the best we’ve stayed in at Sea Ranch. The path to the bluff trail was right next to the house and just a short walk you get to amazing tide pools (my daughter and I woke up early to make it at low tide!) and really the best pacific coast views. Jason’s house was immaculate and we really appreciated how complete the kitchen was!! And the blue bottle and intelligentsia coffee beans were a great treat. The hot tub was also great to use after swimming in the rec center. Thank you Jason!!

Such a beautiful place to stay. Absolutely better than expected. All amenities that anyone would need. Ken is a wonderful host, made sure that we were happy there. A wonderful place to spend our 44th wedding anniversary. And Father's day. My hubby caught 12 fish off shore. Highly recommend, we'll be back. The best place ever for relaxation. So clean and comfortable. Ken is 5 star host. Beautiful property. 6 deers last night and a buck this morning...who could ask for more. Thank you.

This was our second stay at BayMod, and we're already excited to come back again. It's a stunning location, right on the bay, with kayaks and all the accessories you'd need (like lifejackets in many sizes). We saw seals, bat rays, and lots of other wildlife when we went out in the morning. We love going to Nick's Cove for lunch and outdoor games (you could even kayak there), to Route One Bakery for breakfast and coffee, and down to Point Reyes Station for shops, restaurants, and groceries. The house is impeccably organized (the most well-organized Airbnb I've ever seen) with helpful instructions and just everything you might think of. Example: lying on the couch looking out the window and feeling a bit cold? There is a bin of throw blankets within arm's reach. Trying to see what's on Hog Island right now? There are binoculars, plus a powerful monocular with a phone mount. This thoughtfulness extends to all aspects of the house. It's beautiful, clean, and cozy. Thank you Deb!

Just spent a wonderful relaxing long weekend at Pacific Gem. Cindy's place is truly a 'jewel' perched on a bluff with spectacular oceanfront views, comfortable up-scale furnishings, sparkling clean, with everything you could ever need! Absolutely gorgeous! The ,location is close to lots of activites. but after lucking out with terrific weather, we felt no need to leave the premises until checkout - we'd love to stay again on our next trip to Mendocino area!

Adrienne and Jonathan were very responsive. The house, the pool and the surrounding grounds are beautiful. We enjoyed our stay. Thank you, Adrienne and Jonathan for hosting us.

Private, peaceful, unique, beautiful layout, easy to find, communicative owner. Even better than what we’d imagined. Thankful for the opportunity!

Kristina’s place was absolutely beautiful and exactly as pictured. Breath taking ocean views and a short 5 minutes down to the beach. Kristina was very friendly checking in with us to make sure our trip was going good and if we needed anything. Would definitely stay here again !!! Great host great place and beautiful city !!

Wonderful condo nestled in the Pajaro Dunes Resort. We traveled with two elementary aged kids and they had a fantastic time. A great family getaway. We brought our own groceries and there was plenty of amenities in the kitchen for eating in every meal. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach and beautiful views from the inside as well. We appreciated having the beach chairs & tennis items. The resort recreation area was a lot of fun and we spent several hours there. Comfortable beds and upgraded furnishings. Overall, a fantastic experience and we can’t wait to return again someday.

We loved staying at this location very close to the mountain and restaurants. Super clean and very cozy! Ivana was so kind to turn the heater on prior to our arrival since we got in late. Since we came towards the end of the season, the local lifts were closed but driving up to the mountain and parking was easy. We will def stay at this location again next season

Great place to stay. Beautiful view of Mountains from balcony. clean, had all the little amenities and kitchen equipped for cooking. towels were soft. perfect location. highly recommend Greg's place.

Everything was just as described - kitchen was well stocked and had the staples which I appreciated - plenty of coffee too! Beach location was wonderful - 5 out of 5!

Great place and located in the center of it all.

We had a wonderful stay in Aptos! Hosts were very helpful, responsive, and flexible. You can tell they take great care of the house and think of all the details and amenities a visitor might need. Although we didn’t use the kitchen and bbq, everything you might need is there. The beds were very comfortable as well. The view is breathtaking, we even saw whales! It’s the perfect location to local restaurants, coffee spots, and grocery stores. Very close to Santa Cruz without the hustle and bustle. My family would definitely recommend and stay here again.

We’ve stayed at Pajaro Dunes before, but it’s been decades ago. Marc’s place was perfectly situated for privacy and views and was very clean and well appointed. The peacefulness and serenity were exactly what we were looking for. The beachy feel of the furnishings was charming and the unit included all that we needed including an upgraded and well furnished kitchen, a gas fireplace, a comfortable, king size bed and other essentials like extra blankets and a Kuerig coffee maker. Our only difficulty was when inadvertently trying to use the TV remote to change channels…Don’t Do That, Use the cable remote like it says in the instructions. Spent a thoroughly enjoyable four days here with side trips to Monterey and Carmel. Perfect home base for dining out and exploring the coast, and an excellent, proactive host.
