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 🖤

Beautiful Lake Merritt
So nice, I’ve stayed there twice! Brian is a fantastic host! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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!

Floating condo 'A' on Sausalito's Richardson Bay.
Cute little unit that was very clean when we arrived. Bed was very comfy and we had a great little trip!

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!

San Francisco Bay Area Ocean View, sleeps 10, 5 BR
This house was amazing and super clean. The view was incredible. We very much enjoyed our family event of 3 days. I would highly recommend this place.

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.

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!

Lagoon Front Living in SF Bay Area
Gabrielle’s place was exactly what I needed for a peaceful get away from the city. It looked exactly as it did in pictures but so much more beautiful up close and personal. The personalized touches and friendly reminders were so well thought out and complimentary to my stay. Gabrielle was friendly and helpful; always responding with kindness and respect. I highly recommend this place for a wonderfully quaint and peaceful getaway.

Oceanfront Views - Steps to the Beach
My team had a wonderful time at Stefan's place! The ocean views are magical and the house is very spacious. Incredible spot about an hour away from SF and Palo Alto. Stefan was very communicative and friendly. Check-in and check-out were simple. Very clear house rules. No complaints at all! We will definitely be back.

Beautiful Seaside Retreat.
It's a lovely house, clean and spacious. Perfect for large group gatherings, this home features a spacious kitchen and dining area, two living rooms, a sunroom, and an outside deck with a gorgeous view. John is very responsive, quickly providing us with the additional paper towel we need.

New- Stunning Oceanfront "Pelican Bluffs"
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!

Oceanfront French Cottage in Pacifica, SFO
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.

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 🥰

Luxury loft by the water
As a solo female traveler in town for business, this place was great. Short distance to the office but had everything you needed for working remote. Loved the kitchen set up and had everything I needed to make breakfast and dinner. The bed was so comfortable, I didn’t want to leave! My rav4 fit well in the garage. The walking path outside was great for either starting your day or winding down.

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!

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
Great host and place. Quiet part of Oakland if there’s such a thing, lol exactly what we wanted.

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.
