RashmiRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Fernando is just a kind and polite person. I recommend everyone to stay here . I was so much worried about my daughter and Indian cooking but he is very flexible and accommodative that we feel like home. He is fond of antics and have a lot of collection of them along with lamps so little bit seems like lot of stuff . He kept linens, kitchen and bathroom clean. I will surely stay with him again.

Susanta and his co host were very responsive. The place is a good except for the Balcony was off limits due to some regulatory requirements. place was better than the pictures !! very happy to find all amenities and place exceeded the expectations. Its 20 min from the city center of san francisco. Garage is compact as it won't fit a truck but can fit 2 right size cars !!

MandeepRating, 5 stars5 days ago
I have to say, the pictures don’t quite capture the beauty of the back yard. The deck is off the dining room and is surrounded by beautiful roses and bougainvilleas. The fire pit area is like another world at night. There are embedded rock paths that meander through lemon trees, roses, lavender and under several vines arches. We didn’t have time to use the hot tub, grill or the kitchen, but the house with all the sky lights is bright, super clean and very comfortable. We have used Airbnb all over the world, and it turns out this is our favorite. It really is a beautiful, comfortable place. My husband loved the yoga room. Megan was helpful and kept in touch to make sure that we were comfortable.

PaulRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
Staying at the Sea Wolf Bungalow was one of the most special experiences of my life. I had the joy of working with Kim to plan my engagement there, and she made every step seamless, thoughtful, and truly unforgettable. From vendor recommendations to her calming presence, Kim went above and beyond to help create a perfect moment. She welcomed us with such warmth—it felt like staying with family. The bungalow itself is peaceful, beautifully designed, and perfectly nestled in nature. The stunning seaside views, colorful tide pools, and sightings of whales, seals, and other wildlife made every moment feel magical. Kim’s local insight into trails, sights, and hidden gems only added to the experience. The Sea Wolf Bungalow will forever hold a special place in our hearts, and I feel incredibly grateful for the memories made there and for the chance to get to know Kim. Truly the best trip I’ve ever had. Thank you, Kim—for everything.

AmandaRating, 5 stars3 days ago
I have stayed at my fair share of Airbnbs over the years, and I have to say that this one is a new top favorite for me. My family and I had a great time enjoying the stunning view with a big, beautiful, well-stocked kitchen to prepare food while we caught up with all that life has had for us the last 6 months. There is a great path along the ocean cliffs or the marine reserve in the neighborhood where I frequented for some exercise and beach time. It had all that we wanted, making us feel like we didn't need to leave to go somewhere else for entertainment. Good food, stunning scenery, the sounds of waves and sea gulls, places to walk/run, and great company was all we needed. We will certainly be back!

ShaneRating, 5 stars2 days ago
We had a very nice stay with our kids in Pacifica. The place was very clean and everything in the kitchen was well labeled. The view from the place was beautiful. Each day we were able to see whales. Our kids loved walking down to the beach, that was close by. So many trails to hike on in the area. The host was very responsive.
