Garden Ocean view Apartment
Paul’s place is absolutely stunning and the view will absolutely not disappoint! He is a great and responsive host, and we really enjoyed our time there 🖤

Spacious and charming 1bd apartment on Ocean Beach
Awesome place near a beautiful ocean beach in a very quiet and lovely area. It's perfect for walking or running along the shore. Golden Gate Park is nearby - about a 30-minute walk along the beach. Just a 5-minute walk to the subway station. The area is very quiet - we slept well every night. Plenty of street parking is available. Nick is an awesome host - very helpful and friendly. Highly recommend!

SF Coast Work/Play/Hike + HotTub
Excelente alojamiento, todo muy limpio y ordenado, con excelentes comodidades y el barrio muy tranquilo, al comienzo me dio la impresión de ue estariamos un poco alejados, pero esta muy buen conectado con el resto de la ciudad, hacia cada lugar que queriamos ir llegabamos rapido.

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.

Oceanfront at La Paz in Stinson Beach
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!

Lovely studio with lake views & fireplace
I took my husband to relax for a pre Father’s Day weekend warm up. Susan’s place was the perfect getaway! :)

Luxury Penthouse Retreat with Panoramic Bay Views
Alexander and Ben’s home was beyond my expectations. Every morning, I woke up and either jogged or walked. During my stay, there were three Giants games, and I experienced FOMO as I heard the crowd cheering. The space was beautifully designed, and the views were the highlight of my trip! I ended up staying in every night because I felt so at home and took in the amazing skyline of SF. I will definitely be back again and again. Thank you!
Waterfront house rentals

Riverlands 2 bed1 bath Luxurious Riverfront Living
The host was very accommodating and responsive. The rental was amazing. Love the open concept overlooking the river and trees. The kitchen was huge and had all the cookware and accessories we needed. Loved the modern bathroom and beautiful shower. Overall, we loved the rental, and would love to come back and stay again.

Waterfront home - fish, kayak, swim - 1hr from SF
I loved Al’s river house. It was a comfy , friendly space. Great for hanging and visiting with friends. The slough is rich with color . The light is wonderful and ever changing. Really not far from delta restaurants and activities. Great bird watching and otters too! The delta is so cool!

Design & Style with White Water View
Our second stay, and just as wonderful as last time. The views are unbeatable, and the ability to walk to the lodge is an amazing benefit (I loved being able to grab a coffee there in the morning, or knowing I could have a few drinks and walk home!). Beds were comfy. To note, the blinds in the rooms aren’t blackout so the mornings are bright — but ideally you’re up then anyways to enjoy the gorgeous views!

Gem by the sea none-obstructive ocean view
Great roomy house with amazing views. close to everything but just outside the hubbub with parking included!

Coastal Cottage
All the little touches are so awesome - thank you!

Dillon Beach Nirvana
The home was beautiful, we truly enjoyed our time there. They say that pictures are worth a thousand words but pictures of the views from the multiple balconies are unable to capture how stunning they really are. The home was just as listed, clean and was the most stocked home we have visited. We enjoyed exploring the surrounding areas and made unforgettable memories.

Bleu Bay Cottage
My wife and I stayed here for our 5 year anniversary and I couldn't have found a better spot to get away to. It was such a cozy and peaceful location, and Aaron's home had everything we could ever need during our stay. The views were incredible, and the weather was fantastic. Aaron provided an extremely detailed guide to the area that helped us get a feel for where to go and what to do, and we hope to come back someday and stay again to experience more of the beauty of the surrounding area!

Sunburst Ocean Retreat
This coastal home was truly magical—perched right by the ocean with stunning views of the sunset and night sky. The house itself is beautifully designed, with so much love and care evident in every detail. It felt warm, peaceful, and thoughtfully put together. Ted was a fantastic host—very responsive and proactive, even informing us about a PG&E power outage that we didn’t even feel thanks to the battery backup. I would absolutely recommend this home to anyone looking for a serene and unforgettable stay.

Seascape Ocean View Condo
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 !!

One of a kind full River and Ocean view!
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.

Luxury Oceanfront Retreat
Stayed with my husband and parents here for our wedding week that was happening in the area. The place was plenty spacious for 4 people! Much better than a hotel room would’ve been. Gave us quality time cooking in the kitchen and hanging out in the living room, enjoying the hottub & heated pool and the beach! The ocean view from the dining table and the front porch is STUNNING!! The place is nice, well kept, and has everything you need! Any small things that popped up, Patti was helpful and fixed right away! Would definitely stay here again!!

Historic cottage on Greenwich steps with Bay Views
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay during our visit to San Francisco, this is why we came back for our 2nd stay at this apartment. The apartment was a real gem - peaceful, well-equipped, and in a fantastic location. Absolutely loved the beautiful views, both from outside and inside the unit. It was the perfect setting to unwind after a long day of sight seeing! The apartment was spacious and thoughtfully furnished, with everything we needed readily available. Logan and Steph were outstanding hosts - friendly, helpful, and attentive. Their communication was excellent, and they really made us feel welcome. A big thank you to both Logan and Steph for such a memorable and comfortable stay. We will be booking to stay with you for a 3rd time in the future for sure!

Seascape Resort Villa Beautiful Ocean View Sleep 6
We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

2B/2B Pajaro Dunes with Dunes and Ocean View
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!

A Total "Distanced" Coastal Experience!
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.
