Luxury Beach View Apartment
Thank you for your hospitality. We enjoyed a relaxing stay with the magnificent and beautiful beach view.

Luxury Zen Beach Home w/Hot Tub 1 block to Beach
A beautiful house, we had a lovely stay in the most beautiful setting, what an incredible area. Trish was easy to communicate which made everything really easy, even though it was short notice. Trish was really helpful with dropping off bags early. Thank you so much!

The Cottage Getaway by the Sea
We had the most magical stay at this charming beach cottage! From the moment we arrived, we were swept away by its cozy, welcoming vibe and the peaceful sound of the ocean just steps away. It was the perfect escape- peaceful and beautifully decorated. Huge thanks to Katcha for making us feel so welcome!

Flat Stroll to the Beach / Private Patio
Perfect spot to hang in between beach and hiking adventures. Has a great enclosed outdoor area for doggos, plus 5 minute walk to the beach. Would definitely rent again.

Bolinas Beach Home
Matthew’s place is nestled in a dead end street within walking distance to the beach and downtown Bolinas. Quiet with unbelievable views from multiple locations within the house. The house is ideal for relaxing and jumping off point for hikes throughout Muir Woods, Marin Headlands, and out from Stinson Beach. Would highly recommend.

Dog Friendly Cottage with Ocean Views
Amazing space steps away from the beach! loved the space esp to enjoy it with our beach loving doggos 🐶🐶!! our Dogs approved it!!!

Boardwalk Beach Oasis|2min wlk to Beach | 3bd3bth
Laura’s place was spot on for our short stay. Beach was a stones throw away, which is where the kids wanted to spend their time. The place was perfect, it was clean, spacious, and well equipped. Detailed instructions for the apartment to go alongside the stay and useful local information.

Beautiful Ocean View 2 BR-Seascape-Miles of Beach
We spent several nights in David’s condo, and the experience was excellent from start to finish. I had kind and timely communication with David even before our arrival, and the condo itself was just perfect. The pictures don’t do it justice, it is in a very peaceful, private area and closer to the water than expected. Breathing the ocean air and the sound of waves is so healing. I watched humpback whales breach and dolphins feeding, it was very pleasant to have pelicans flying right past as well. The sunsets were beautiful and it was such excellent viewing at any time of day with 2 deck levels to choose from. You can view the coast from Santa Cruz all the way down to Monterey! The condo is tastefully decorated and spacious, and the beds were extremely comfortable with cozy quilts and pillows. There are comfy throws for your lap and many other homey touches. The condo has so many dishes and pots and pans it’s easy to cook a meal. I can’t wait to stay there again. Thank you David!

Seascape Ocean View Condo
We absolutely loved our stay at Kristina’s condo! The place was spotless, beautifully furnished, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Kristina was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend this Airbnb – we’d definitely stay here again!

Oceanfront Beach House
Lovely well kept home right next to the ocean! Enjoy lovely ocean views and the sound of the waves. Only minor complaint is the walk to the beach was a bit longer than expected since some paths were closed when we were there. Overall we had a lovely relaxing stay!

Beach Front Villa at Seascape Resort
Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).

Three Vases Beach House at the Dunes
Everything was advertised. This unit had it all. Very comfortable for 2 or 3 couples. The location was spectacular.

Seascape Resort Ocean View Studio "The View for Yo
The place is great! Beautiful location and great access to private beach. It’s one room as described, equipped kitchen and dining. Although it says for 4 people, 2 people have to use the sofas to sleep. Good for couple and 2 children. I would definitely recommend this place and location.

High end family vacation. Pool and beach.
Very lovely place to stay near the beach. The condo is beautiful and updated. We enjoyed it very much. Host was very helpful and the unit had everything we needed.

Breathtaking White Water Views at Seascape Resort
This place has easily become one of our favorites!!! My husband and I wanted a low key babymoon with our daughter. We chose Janiece's place. It was absolutely perfect. Easy to get to Monterey and Carmel where we wanted to explore. But we also wanted to be away from the hustle and bustle and this place checked all of those boxes. It was a quick and beautiful walk to the beach, which was never crowded. And my daughter LOVED the pool. We did not want to leave. It was clean and easy to get to and Janiece was a very attentive host. Will definitely visit again when we can.

Oceanfront Boho Retreat - Pacific Sunset Views 🌅🌊🐳
We had such a wonderful and relaxing time at the Pacifica Beach House! It’s so well stocked with games and everything is beautifully clean. The views are incredible and it was so fun to just relax as a family and play cards and cook dinner and go for walks. We’d come back anytime!

Magical & Romantic Beachfront Home at Pajaro Dunes
Beautiful oceanfront location in an inviting and clean unit. The host Jo, was amazing with communicating and response time.

Amazing Welcoming Unique Ocean Home
My Son an I did a 5 day stay. The place was very centrally located on the pacific coast. The place was very cozy, clean and comfortable with outstanding ocean views from everywhere in the cabin. Good parking for two vehicles. Weather was so so, but did not hindered us a bit. We hiked at Muir Woods, the overlook and the beach all within 5 minutes away. We were able to go to San Francisco multiple times 35 minutes to do half day lunches or dinners and Sausalito 20 minutes. Yeshi was very responsive when we communicated, but really needed little assistance. The home is older and very charming. It reminded me of my own house growing up. Would definitely stay here again.

Copper Nest beach retreat with stunning views
I can't thank Erin enough for this incredible stay! This house is ultra comfortable, and the bedding is nothing short of amazing. I've never experienced such a beautiful Airbnb before. The decor is thoughtfully and tastefully done, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Located in a protected reserve right across from the ocean, the setting is simply ideal and idyllic. A perfect gateaway.

Ocean View River to Sea Beach House
This was the perfect house for our family. The bedrooms were spacious and the beds comfy. The living room on the top floor had amazing views of the ocean. Would highly recommend for a family getaway.

A Total "Distanced" Coastal Experience!
Marc’s beach view condo was absolutely beautiful. Spent a girls weekend there and it was very comfortable for three people. Kitchen was fully stocked, fireplace was nice and cozy. He was very flexible with our check-in time. I highly recommend this place if you’d like a peaceful location & quite beautiful ocean view. This is a perfect location in between Santa Cruz and Monterey/Carmel.

Bleu Bay Cottage
Aaron's place is a wonderful retreat right on the water. It is a beautiful house that is private and tucked off of the main road. Everything we needed was there. Full kitchen with great appliances, cozy living room & bedroom. All main rooms of the house have wonderful views of the water, bay and mountains beyond. Sitting on the deck is incredible with the water coming in below you at medium and high tide. The hot tub is excellent amenity! relaxing outdoors and seeing the moon & stars is an unforgettable experience! Aaron is a great host, very communicative and friendly. Highly recommend.

7 Pelican Point Oceanfront Views & Beach Access!
First time staying at this area and it was very peaceful. The view from our room was beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. Megan was an awesome host and would definitely come and stay again.
