Aquatic Park Place - beautiful location!
This is a real gem of a find in SFO. Great hideaway in the middle of everything around Fisherman’s Warf Modern, clean, and very private.

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 🖤

Convenient bright modern SF pad!
One of THE BEST AirBnB rentals. Location was great, a quiet little nook of South Beach in San Francisco. Location is close to public transportation and very walkable. The condo was beautiful and clean. Loved the patio space and big windows to let the sun pour in. Very quiet condo, very little street noise. The condo was comfortable, welcoming and had everything I needed. Space is beautiful, love the decoration. Angela was a phenomenal host. Easy check in and even easier check out. Hope to stay here again!

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!

1br Water Front Flat, Tiburon
I stayed before and I love the privacy of the place. The facilities are clean and right by the ferry services to san Franciscoand angel island. i would recommend it to anyone.

SF Coast Work/Play/Hike + HotTub
Great stay.. kids loved the game room!

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!

Cozy bayfront studio w/ balcony
Absolutely beautiful place on the waterfront. Gorgeous decor, luxurious amenities and the view was something else! We had a wonderful stay, it was in the perfect location to walk to shops and eateries. Nina was a fabulous host who responded quickly and was very helpful. Highly recommend Nina’s place!!

Cozy place near San Francisco
“I highly recommend staying at Robert’s place. The home is exceptionally cozy, quiet, and peaceful—perfect for long-distance travelers seeking rest and comfort. Robert was a thoughtful and responsive host, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. Absolutely worth the price.”

Pet Friendly Sunset Over the Pacific Ocean
We used this trip for my parents during a family reunion. It was great having a place where most of the access was downstairs. This was important for us for mobility reasons. Parisa was very responsive via the app and accommodating for my parents who had never used Airbnb before which made their stay less stressful in a new city.

Cozy Redwood Retreat
Trevor was a wonderful host and his unit was beautiful. If anything, the pictures do not do it justice. Trouble was also extremely accommodating with our last-minute request to book and our request to stay another day because everything was so nice. I would be happy to stay in Trevor’s place again.

Beach House ~180° Views, Hot Tub, Curated Interior
Perfect location for peace and serenity! The house is spotless, kitchen was open and easy to use, and the beds are comfortable and soft. The hot tub and heated stone sofa were welcomed every morning and evening while listening to the ocean. We will be back soon!

Magical Beachfront SF Bay Retreat 3BR 1.5B
What a peaceful retreat and a wonderful host! We have stayed on Richmond Point several times while visiting our daughter at Cal and it never disappoints. The view from here is incredible! And Vivien’s place is just perfect. You have the entire lower level to yourself, with your own private deck literally on top of the Bay, with views of the city and both the Golden Gate and the Bay Bridge. It’s a great location to get to Cal, to S.F. or wine country. And Vivien is the perfect host—welcoming but not intrusive, and just simply delightful. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

Bolinas Beach Home
Such a beautiful spot ! The view and the deck are just breathtaking… so much marine life and lovely birds swooping by all day. The deck was not as well cleaned as the house , but we didnt care one bit ! Swept away cobwebs and had a great stay. Thanks so much, Matthew. All the best, Alma

Bayfront Apt - Modern SF Getaway Oasis
This is one of the best hidden gem Airbnbs I have stayed at. I travel to the Bay Area atleast once every 2 weeks and will be booking here every single time as long as it’s available. The view is insane and the place is very clean and comfortable. Parking in the area is an issue if people are parked in your designated parking spot in the driveway, I got a pretty quick response to fix the issue. Overall 10/10 can’t wait to come back!

Cozy coastal oceanview by SF
Perfect for what we needed. Rarely do you find an AirBNB with that many separate beds with this many rooms, let alone near a big city. Great view of the ocean and close enough to take an Uber to the ball game. Great deal. Thanks

Luxury Penthouse ~ Best View of San Francisco
Amazing condo. There is literally no other way to see the Bay Bridge like this, it's absolutely worth the view!! There were also stocked snacks and beautiful flowers 🥰

Historic cottage on Greenwich steps with Bay Views
This unit is a real treasure. Every moment of being in this unit, returning to it, and departing from it felt like a gift. Easily my favorite unit I've ever stayed in. The surroundings and view are all extremely beautiful, peaceful and even healing. Logan and Stephany are excellent hosts who communicated well before I even arrived. They were helpful and responsive to all my questions. Some things I learned after staying here: - this unit is better if you don't arrive with a car as proper parking is expensive. - Getting groceries will make you feel like Ethan Hunt from Mission Impossible. But it's a lot of fun if you enjoy walking. - If you decide to go to the top of Coit tower, you can see some of this unit and the Greenwich steps from the tower. - Tourists regularly walk through the Greenwich steps and it was a real pleasure engaging with them as they did. - As if it the unit wasn't charming enough, hummingbirds can be seen flying through the gardens outside.

Cliffside Pacifica Hideaway: Unbeatable View!
The house has a beautiful ocean view off the back balcony! We loved seeing the ocean from the bedroom window or sitting in the hanging egg chair on the patio. The home is very open with plenty of space for a large family (even with just two bedrooms, it really fits 8 comfortably!) The host was responsive even late Saturday evening when we needed some supplies. We would definitely come back to this Airbnb!

Lux Water View with Balcony Minutes -San Francisco
This is an awesome place to stay at! The scene is beautiful, especially during evening. Direct view of Oakland port and surroundings. The community is very peace and residents are very friendly. The host Kathy is also very friendly and responsive. She answered many of my questions. I like the self-served check-in and check-out, which offers a more flexible travel schedule. The only reminder for other people driving cars with low ground clearance is to watchout for the garage entry. There's a pretty sharp corner near the #3 entrance, so if ground clearance is a concern, you can get into the garage via #5. (My Tesla Model 3 cannot enter via #3 as a reference).

Stunning views, top location, clean, safe
Julia’s place was great! We came to SF to participate in the Escape from Alcatraz triathlon, which is based just a block away from Julia’s place on the Marina Green. Julia’s place is fully equipped and we cooked all our meals in. The building and neighborhood were peaceful and quiet and we got to bed early every night. Beautiful views straight out to the Bay and Alcatraz Island. 5-10 minute walk to a supermarket in one direction and the Chestnut Street commercial district with great shops in the other direction, so we were able to get everything we needed without driving. Julia was a great host, and next time we are in town we would love to stay there again.
