Family-friendly holiday rentals in Ocean Beach

Had a lovely stay at Annette and Fred’s 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.

We loved this home. The area was great and near everything and the street was nice and quiet for the area. The home was immaculate, the care to maintain this home is obvious! Next time we are in San Francisco, this will be our first choice for lodging.

We really really like this place. Time moves slower, and it feels very restorative, even if it’s just a weekend. Will easily go again.

Lovely artist’s cottage! The owner’s art and collections are on display, I kept seeing something new every day. Very comfortable and easy to walk to the beach or into town. Had a relaxing and comfortable stay. Slept really well!!

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!

I'm tempted to only say horrible lies about this place, because I want to keep this gem all to myself. But I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this place. The location was gorgeous, the interior design was beautiful, and the hot tub in the middle of the redwoods was just the cherry on top.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Laura’s place. The place was super cute and it was along a creek. We loved the eucalyptus trees and the greenery surrounding the cottage. We both enjoyed hot tub after a long day of exploring Berkeley nearby.

Felt like it was just lke my home accept they have a hot tub that I used almost every night during my stay also had a beautiful garden. Is very quiet and relaxing.

A great space. Such a lovely renovated house. A great family friendly spot if you do not want the hustle and bustle of San Fran but close enough for a day trip to the main spots in the city. We loved heading back to the house after a day in San Fran.

We planned a family getaway with our adult kids and their spouses as a belated Christmas gift. Everyone picked Half Moon Bay as the destination. We have stayed in a lot of Airbnbs through the years, so many have been amazing but this one in particular offered such incredible touches to make us feel at home. Nancy really offers what an Airbnb experience should be. The house was perfectly clean, stocked with everything any of us could need along with special treats to enjoy. But what really struck me was not having to work through an endless list of rules and the fact that checking out was as simple as leaving a beautiful hotel stay. No endless cleaning or ridiculous particulars after spending $$$ for a stay. We felt pampered. Nancy is a 5 star host. We will definitely be back.

Great house in Half Moon Bay! Only a few hundred yards from the beach. Great for dogs. Quiet! Lots of greenery and flowers. Gas fireplace was perfect for a chilly coastal night. House is in a great location and close to southern HMB and really close to the Ritz and HMB Golf Links. We will definitely use this house again, anytime we visit HMB!

I enjoyed my time at Audrey’s place. They are centrally located and the backyard is a beautiful place to work or unwind. Audrey, Jordie, and the pups were very friendly and hospitable. I would highly recommend their place for any guest visiting Oakland.

We had a wonderful week at this property. The home is beautifully situated with expansive views and a peaceful atmosphere that made for a very relaxing stay. Despite feeling tucked away, it was a quick and pleasant walk into town, where we enjoyed coffee shops, restaurants, and local spots. The house is well-appointed and comfortable, with particularly cozy beds. The driveway is steep, but we found it straightforward to navigate. Overall, this was a great base for our time in the area. Easy drives to Muir Woods, Point Reyes, and other local hiking options. We would gladly return on a future visit.

Excellent place. My husband and I loved it. The place came with a mini fridge, microwave, some utensils, and an oven toaster. A very accesible and quiet neighborhood that felt safe. Walking distance to a convenient store, great pizza place called Slice House, walking distance to Golden Gate Bridge park.

Staying in Kathleen’s bungalow is always a special treat. It is well-maintained, exceptionally clean and beautifully furnished and decorated. Kathleen herself lives close by and she is a very kind and responsive host. I highly recommend both her and her cozy bungalow when visiting Fairfax and the surrounding area. – Leslie

It was the perfect place for our family to gather over the holidays. Cozy but spacious with that back cottage providing a separate space for separate couple.

I had a magic few days at Lori and Mike's. I drive a VW passat and I found the drive up the mountain to be non-challenging and even very fun by the end. The hosts are cool and easy to get along with. A+ doggo. Hot tub was great. Pool was fun. I usually stay in SF when I'm in the Bay Area. This was much more lovely and relaxing, with SF close enough that going in for dinner or a show felt like it wasn't a big deal. 100% would recommend this place. I brought my cat and had my lady friend with me for a night. Everyone loved it.

Jenny was a great host. Her place was very clean and had everything that one would need. We had an amazing time here.

Amazing place? Great heated pool, love the house has a lot of stuff and very well appointed and decorated. It has the best palm trees very safe, Our kid loved swimming in the pool. Strongly recommend for any stay! This is our second time here and will come again for sure. Love how the rooms are laid out, bathrooms.

Everything was perfect the house was amazing with its pool and hot tub… Everything mentioned was there but unfortunately the Air-conditioning wasn’t available for the first floor and the fans in the rooms where not enough for cooling. Lastly, Rahel the host was very welcoming and we had an easy check-in. Great communication she was very responsive to our notes…

We stayed at Sara's while visiting family nearby, but her home felt like a vacation in itself. The backyard is magical - we spent a fair amount of time there, swimming, grilling/dining, reading/napping. The backyard (and its myriad diversions) even lured our tech-obsessed teenagers away from their devices for extended periods. Everything was well maintained, no detail overlooked. We also enjoyed the access to a peloton bike and workout equipment. The interior was clean, organized, stylish but comfortable. The sunroom and small courtyard off of the bedrooms were great for yoga or stealing a quiet moment with a cup of coffee or book. Sara was responsive and attentive. Instruction booklet was clear and helpful. The stay exceeded our expectations. We hope to be back.

A perfect stay for professionals. Vara’s place is cozy, peaceful, and tucked away in the beautiful Los Altos Hills - far from the noise yet still conveniently located. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Waking up to the quiet surroundings and fresh air was a great way to start the day. Vara was a wonderful host, responsive and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet retreat!

Polina's guest house was excellent for a weekend full of events. We were very busy, but when we did get a chance to use the hot tub it was so therapeutic to relax under the trees. The guest house had everything we needed for a few nights, and was in such a peaceful area. The bathroom was very large and perfect for two getting ready for events, the little house was perfectly comfortable and had everything we needed. Polina was extremely accommodating and responsive to any of our requests. I would highly recommend staying in this peaceful little home!

The location is beautiful, in the middle of nature, conveniently located to highway, stores, restaurants nearby towns and beaches. The guest house is cosy and clean. The host responsive and friendly. They left a clear binder. The garden, swimming pool, tennis court and mini golf all very family friendly :)
