San Francisco Bay Area Ocean View, sleeps 10, 5 BR
Julieta's place is wonderful, offering an experience that goes beyond expectations. The views are absolutely breathtaking and the house itself is exceptionally spacious, meticulously clean, and thoughtfully equipped with a wealth of amenities to ensure your comfort and enjoyment.

TreeTops OceanView Retreat_HotTub_Month/LongTermOk
Had a lovely stay at Annette and Fredâs place - the location was great, the house was fully stocked and the hosts were extremely responsive when we had questions. Having a hot tub and gas fireplaces were an added bonus for spending the evenings admiring the views.

Sweet Studio -SF Peninsula
Had a great and comfortable visit! Very quiet with a private entrance. Close to downtown in a great neighborhood. Friendly hosts. Definitely will stay here again in the future!

Amazing Welcoming Unique Ocean Home
A gem of a space, spent 6 relaxing days enjoying the sound of waves, the wind and watching Karl move in and out. Thank you Yeshi for being an amazing host and human being đ

Lovely Cottage garden oasis w/Hot Tub near BART đš
Quiet, peaceful, beautiful garden, responsive host, ample street parking. Definitely worth the price. Plus there's a hot tub you can use after the end of a long day or before the start of one like how we used. MINUTES away from bars, restaurants, and shopping in Oakland. Great location. Thank you so much for the comfortable stay!

Half Moon Bay Coastal Home Walk Beach & Harbor SPA
This house is amazing, has everything u need to have a great time Especially good if u have little ones

Traditional Japanese Tea House
When we walked in, the tea house looked exactly like the pics! The soaking tub was amazing and felt great to relax in and the bed was ultra comfortable and I so want to get whatever mattress that is. This is also really close to The Greek if youâre looking for a place to stay after a concert/show. It was about a 1.5 mile walk or really quick uber ride if you donât like walking.

Secluded luxury cottage & hot tub
Wonderfully quiet location in the trees next to a tiny creek. Perfect getaway from the city, yet so accessible and decorated with beautifully woven fabrics from the ownerâs business.

Ocean Beach Bungalow
Had a lovely stay and grateful for Melisaâs budget friendly airbnb making it easier to stay in the city. Ocean beach and golden gate park are walking distance and two of the most beautiful places in the cityâif youâre wanting to escape people and also going to spend a lot of time out. This is a great place. Also nice sized bathtub! :):)

Ground Floor Upgraded Victorian in Alameda 2BR/1BA
The place was very nice. We have kids & grandkids in the Bay Area and like to visit as often as possible. The place was clean and comfortable but most of all very welcoming. And Ramil reached out to make sure our needs were met. If the need arises we would definitely stay there again

Central, comfortable, quiet 1BR near BART & shops
Very convenient location, easy walk to UC Berkeley. Even though it's near a busy intersection, it felt very quiet and peaceful. The unit is much more spacious than I was anticipating and it was nice to have a complete kitchen. Al is a very kind and responsive host. I would definitely recommend!

Seaside Retreat - newly remodeled!
My wife and I stayed with our toddler and my mom. It was plenty of room plus the king size bed was big enough for two adults and one kid. We loved the place and Mary Ann was very accommodating.

Beach Cottage Near Coastal Trail & Ritz
Absolutely enjoyed! The home was so welcoming and cozy, a picturesque beach cottage. The outdoor space was so beautiful and peaceful. Great location that is quiet and close proximity to the beach and trails. Guliz was very friendly and responsive. You can tell a lot of thought and care went into the home. Would absolutely recommend!

Cottage near dwntwn Palo Alto, Stanford, Face-book
This was a perfect place to decompress during a busy work trip. The space is beautiful, and the attached gym is such a nice treat! Everything was exactly as described, clean and lovely. I would definitely stay again!

A true gemâŚcomfortable and quiet. Walk to beach.
Beautiful space and definitely unique from other places I've stayed in. Would highly recommend.

Charming Backyard Guest House with Koi Pond
Will and Jane were excellent hosts. The back house is light filled and spotless. Itâs comfortable and well organized. It was peaceful, tucked away in a garden! I loved feeding the fish. Both Will and Jane were responsive and offered a great recommendation. I know Iâll stay here every time I come to San Francisco!
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

82 â Pool, Jacuzzi , HOT SAUNA, VIEWS, Newer ADU!
We loved our time here! Not only were Darren and Laura wonderful hosts and communicators, but the property genuinely exceeded our expectations, the Airbnb was MORE beautiful in person than in the photos (hard to believe, I know), and the location of the neighborhood was incredible â high up on a hill of a beautiful and safe neighborhood. đ Only recommendation for future guests â book one extra day!! There is so much to do and such little time! We wouldâve loved to have one more day to enjoy the Airbnb a little more. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Waterfront Marin Retreat with Pool & Hot Tub
Our family had the most incredible weekend at Gina's beautiful home! First of all, a HEATED POOL makes all the difference, huge plus! We loved spending time in the backyard with so many beautiful outdoor areas to hangout with family, including your own private dock with a kayak! We were a little bummed the outdoor firepit wasn't working because we loved being outside so much but maybe next time. We hope to come back soon! We loved the big wooden table and big cozy couch for all 8 of us to enjoy time eating meals and playing games together! It was super convenient to have the grocery store just 6 minutes down the road as well. She was also extremely accommodating which made the stay even better!

Greenwood Guest House, a Peaceful Oasis
My stay in Amy's home was relaxing, peaceful and comfortable. I loved the location - nested against the hills and so close to shops/restaurants. I loved walking the hills in the neighborhood and coming back to a quiet and comfortable space. You are in the backyard of the owners but they are friendly and respectful and the setting is idyllic.

Garden Oasis Suite with Spa and Pool, Walnut Creek
If you have a chance to book one of Jenny's properties, I would encourage you to do so. Of all the hosts we have encountered, she is the best. The suite was spotless and thoughtfully appointed with everything someone could want during their stay. The grounds of her home were just beautiful, a welcomed retreat from the outside world. In addition, Jenny was an incredibly resposive host. She provided great recommendation and suggestions for our visit. She was also incredibly kind to my daughter. Thank you Jenny for your warmth in welcoming is to your home.

Mountaintop poolside suite, sauna, views!
This place is increĂble! Hosts were friendly and proactive. The pool was heated to a perfect temperature and the view is unbeatable. The recommendations for hikes and restaurants were spot on. My husband and I had an amazing little getaway and weâd recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful, gorgeous place to stay!

Tropical Garden Cottage +HOT TUB &POOL by Downtown
Description and pictures all matched. It was very private despite the main house being on-site. The hot tub was excellent and was so peaceful among pine and palm trees. Polina met us and showed us around. We did not use the pool but it was available. Bed, pillows and linens comfortable. We had very late nights due to our plans and felt easy and safe returning later at night. Parking on-site was appreciated.

3 BR Home on Vineyard nr Palo Alto & Stanford
Amazing property & setting, absolutely loved the pool, sport court, etc. Hosts were communicative & easy, will certainly be back for another warm-weather escape.

Spacious Top Floor Condo Retreat
A very nice location with many super markets (whole food, Walmart etc.) nearby. The place is neat and clean with all the things you need. The host is very kind and responsive.
