Vacation rentals with a kayak in San Francisco Bay Area

Absolutely loved the house. Plenty of space for everyone! Would definitely recommend!! Gorgeous views and wonderful hosts❤️

We had amazing weekend in the house! The view from the deck is unbeatable and the location is perfect for swimming and so close to town! We would love to stay again!

Host was easy to work with and the location was amazing! We had a great weekend get away for my birthday! The area is super relaxing and quiet. We definitely will book again when looking to go back to Clearlake.

Very nice place! We enjoyed our stay and almost everything we need is available. We especially love the private dock so we don’t have to go out. We caught a lot of fishes and grilled them. Will be booking again with friends and family!

We loved the convenience of having direct water access. The home was spacious, clean, and comfortable, with a fantastic deck for enjoying the beautiful sunsets. Our host was very attentive. Highly recommend for a relaxing waterfront getaway.

Kim's place perfectly fit are needs! Lots of room to spread out., we hosted a small group of family to organize for a celebration of life from the mother. Everything was very serein and peaceful. Kitchen was extremely well equipped!! Outdoor space magical!! We would love to book again.

Great stay, right on the river, really nice view. Was able to go down the steps and look at the river and sit on the dock which was a good river level for late October/ November . The living room with the bar and game table was very cool. Also the kitchen with the little window to the living room was very cool to serve food through. easy to park and easy to find.

The whole family had an amazing time. Kids cried when we left. We will be back!

We had such a great time!! The amenities were so amazing! Paddle boats, kayaks, stand up paddle boards, fishing poles were so amazing! We did not leave except to go to the bait and tackle store! It was amazing! They were so kind and attentive! we had a wonderful time

We had a great stay here! The water was unfortunately too rough for kayaking, but we had a good time fishing on the doc! The view was beautiful and we enjoyed hanging out on the balcony!

Great location. Kids enjoy fishing from the back dock.

The cabin is a great place to get away from busyness of the city life. I particularly liked the relaxing water front atmosphere. Wish we could enjoy more of what the place has to offer but we needed to leave earlier than planned. Jason and Elaine are exceptionally kind and communicative!

We had a great stay at the Waterfall house. The location can't be beaten; it's secluded, the views are great and it is within walking distance from all of the Jenner hot spots :) Baked goods and drinks from Cafe Aquatica were the perfect way to start our mornings. We also had a great time kayaking on the river with the seals! The kitchen was stocked well enough for all of our needs as a group of 5, and the porch and deck spaces were great for hanging out. The sofa bed wasn't super comfortable but it was good enough for our needs. The other beds were all very comfortable and we slept well! The hosts at the Jenner Inn were super responsive and helpful. We'd definitely stay here again!

A friend and I and our daughters had a lovely time staying here. I loved the mix of keeping the historical feel of the house and the tasteful updates the owners have done. We used the provided kayaks and paddle boards to paddle on the river. It is mellow enough that you can paddle up and down without any trouble (at least in mid-June). The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. We used the firepit one night to cook "hobo" dinners and make smores. The spa was also nice. We went to the nearby town of Guerneville to go vintage and antique shopping and eat meals. We also went on a hike near the beach. And nearby Duncan Mills is also a nice place to eat and shop. The nearby Lightwave Cafe is an experience! Definitely recommend a meal there. I would definitely stay here again.

Small hiccup getting into the house and Amber was super quick to help! The place was stunning! So beautiful and so well appointed. The home is 10/10!!

We just completed a lovely stay at Emily's place -- the home is on a very quiet road, spacious, well-appointed, and the decor is a great match for the environment. One bedroom with adjoining bathroom is on the ground floor and the other is on the second floor, making it perfect for two couples -- plus there's a bonus bunkbed in the front room for kids. The outdoor space, surrounded by redwoods, has several seating areas with a nice hot tub (seats 4). The neighbors were all very welcoming and nice, we felt right at home in the area. We've been coming up to Russian River for about 20 years and had never heard of this small community, it was wonderfully off the beaten path yet close to everything! There is also secluded and well-maintained neighborhood beach which was great for sunbathing / kayak launching. Emily had alerted us that map apps weren't reliable for the area and sent a pinned location -- definitely use it and pre-load an area map, especially if you'll be arriving in the dark.

Our stay at Lucky Bend Lookout was absolutely a dream. I wish I could stay on the porch overlooking the river (with redwoods right on the property!) forever. Despite the space being somewhat small for 8 adults, it was so well-appointed and with so many bonus outdoor spaces that it didn't feel that way. Sarah went out of her way to ensure we understood the details in the listing and had all the info we'd need in advance. The house was very clean, and well-stocked with the essentials. Nothing super fancy but it very much did the job. Hopefully I can come back sometime in the summer when the dock is installed.

High recommend - this place was very beautifully furnished and efficiently laid out, felt bigger than it is. Plenty of space for 2 adults and two young adults inside plus a spacious outdoor deck. Super comfortable place, exactly as described. Linens and beds very comfortable, delightful and plentiful table ware which is not always the case. The host was very proactive with details on how to access the keys and that lockbox codes expire at a specific time which was very helpful. Also great to have kayak and paddleboards available too. Loved it.

If you are looking for a cozy space where you can wake up, walk down a few flights of stairs and be in the water, this is it. It is clean, cozy and wonderful. They have one kayak, which we used and appreciated (bring a second kayak so you can cruise around together - or some inner tubes). The only challenge is parking. There is one parking spot and our Tahoe was sticking out into the road a bit (we almost drove off the cliff trying to make it work). We highly recommend.

Very cute and clean cabin. Morning coffee on the upper deck seeing the sunrise was amazing. Only Negitive was the Lake Flys at night . But would stay again !

This is a beautifully decorated and cozy airbnb. The fully stocked kitchen with vaulted ceilings and ample counter space was fantastic, bedrooms were well furnished, kids had fun playing games in the well maintained lawn space. We didn’t get to use the outdoor theater area but had a really fun time in the lounge room upstairs with the foozball table. Highly recommend for larger families for a staycation! For things to do nearby - our family enjoyed the gold discovery park where the gold rush first began, the el do rado trail that’s nearby and the Starfield vineyards & winery that’s barely a 10 min walk away.

Staying at this cabin nestled in the heart of a redwood grove in the Santa Cruz mountains was truly magical. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this wasn't just a place to stay — it was a carefully curated experience. The host has thought of everything to make guests feel at home and beyond comfortable. The attention to detail was incredible: high-quality toiletries, a well-stocked pantry with essentials (and then some!), soft, luxurious bedding, and even thoughtfully placed candles that added a cozy, relaxing atmosphere. Every touch felt intentional and generous. What truly set this stay apart, though, was the host. Incredibly accommodating, kind, and flexible — they went out of their way to ensure every one of our needs was met with care and promptness. It’s rare to come across someone so committed to hospitality. Waking up surrounded by towering redwoods, with birdsong filtering through the trees, was unforgettable.

We had the most special weekend with friends at Britta’s house! It’s such a cozy property with incredible views of the river. Everything was exactly as described and perfectly clean. Being able to just walk down to the river and enjoy our morning coffee there was such a treat. And the proximity to downtown Healdsburg and wineries made it a great location for all of our weekend activities. Britta and Blake were extremely responsive and great to communicate with too. If you’re considering this property, don’t hesitate - it’s truly such a beautiful escape from the city and we can’t recommend it enough!

The place was perfect for us Bass fisherman.
