Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, danke

Home in San Francisco modern 3 bedrooms 1.5 baths
We had a lovely time at Yan Fang’s place, the location was perfect - we walked to the beach almost every day! It was also convenient to have the Muni metro stop right at the end of the street, we rode the Muni all over town (inexpensive and easy!). The house was clean and comfortable and Yan Fang included extra snacks and kitchen items for us, which was nice. We loved our time here and would recommend.

Historic Ark on the SF Bay with dock and sauna
Noah's place was great if looking for a peaceful location right on the water. If you boat, SUP or kayak, even better. Noah lent me a SUP and enjoyed it almost everyday. The place is roomy for a couple (maybe also with a small kid). The dock is great to relax on and BBQ. The place is in nature so be ready for birds, foxes, seals, rays, and other animals cruising by; saw them all.

New Renovated SF Home by the Beach & Golden Gate

Mid-Century Modern Home with Waterfront Views
Mark is one of the kindest and most thoughtful hosts I’ve met. From the moment we arrived, everything felt easy and welcoming. The house was extremely clean, and it felt like every little detail had been carefully prepared. The location is absolutely beautiful. The view of San Rafael Bay from the property made our mornings and evenings feel calm and refreshing. It’s a peaceful spot that really helps you slow down and enjoy the moment. Mark even invited us to dinner, which was such a generous gesture. Although we couldn’t make it, the invitation said a lot about how much he genuinely cares for his guests. I would gladly stay here again. If you’re looking for a relaxing place with great views and a truly wonderful host, this is it.

Tomales Bay Retreat
Beautiful place, right by Tomales Bay. Very calm, quiet and relaxing. Caroline and Clara are wonderful hosts. Prompt and clear in their communication. Would most definitely come back. Note for future renters : The nearest gas station is about 7.5 miles away

Kingfishers Waterfront Bungalow, Bayside Pier/Deck
Our stay at Hillary and Jim’s was nothing short of amazing. We underestimated just how great our stay would be. The views were absolutely stunning! The hosts were humble, sweet, attentive and give you plenty of privacy. The cleaners do a wonderful job, I was thrilled to hop in the Japanese soaking tub knowing it was clean. Location felt safe and was conveniently located in an upscale neighborhood just outside San Francisco. The weather here is amazing, significantly warmer than the city with less intense wind-plus it’s pretty much fog free! It was perfect coming back from long days in San Francisco to easy parking, a beautiful garden walk down to the bungalow, moon/bridge views over the water and peace of mind you and your belongings are in a safe place. We can’t wait to come back! *China town, palace of fine arts, go car tours, Alcatraz island, hop on hop off bus tours and pier 39 sea lion watching were all hits. McNears park is definitely worth the couple minute drive as well!

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!

Ocean Front French Cottage in Pacifica, SFO
Beautiful view and walkable location.

Apartment in house on the lagoon. Close to Beach
Would stay again - Mason was responsive and helpful. There is some noise from the family above, as is to be expected in a basement apartment - I, personally, found it comforting at night. Large, bright, clean space. Great parking and location.

Beach Studio, Parking, Backyard
Great location. Hanna communicated well about expectations. Very hospitable.

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.

Best view on the coast
Wonderful location and views are incredible. Worth it!

Luxe Oceanview Game Room Retreat in Ideal Location
My family and I spent the weekend for Mother’s Day and it was excellent what we needed. We will definitely be revisiting if the host will have us. From enough space to beautiful views. At night the backyard was great for entertaining and chilling. While the sound of the ocean captivated you on the balcony. We all love, love, love the spot. Oh, not to mention the perfect space for the kids (19 & 21) to cook a formal dinner for Mother’s Day. Thank you for allowing my family to enjoy your home.

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!

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.

Sea Blue
We loved our stay! The house was lovely and well stocked. The location is ideal - a beautiful view of the ocean and the hill behind the house, and it’s walking distance to the small town area which was extremely convenient. Check in was extremely easy. We definitely want to come back!

Bayfront Retro Retreat - Amazing SF Getaway
First off, the hosts were very helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. They were also flexible about checking in and out. The property is very spacious and open, with doors in the back that open right out onto a deck overlooking the water. There is also a small dock area with amazing views of the surrounding area. Getting in and out with luggage might be tough for the elderly as the entrance is down a narrow flight of stairs. Same goes for the third bedroom that is at the top of a spiral staircase. We had no problems at all but just wanted to give a heads up. There are some little things that could be done to improve the overall experience. A couple of towel bars were broken and needed replacing, while the carpets could use a good cleaning. That said, we loved the property. The area is very quiet and secluded. Several grocery stores are a short drive away, including Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. However, our favorite was Andy’s Local Market that’s withi
