Vacation rentals with beach access in San Francisco Bay Area

We had a great stay in this apartment in Capitola. It was clean, spacious and well equipped. Located in a central location in a quiet, walkable surf town

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

La Sirena was a wonderful rental! The location is unbeatable with great views of the Pacific Ocean and easy access to the restaurants in Stinson. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well appointed! They thought of everything!! Will be back!!

Absolutely lovely place and central to so much. Definitely worth it!

My friend and I had a very nice stay. Everything was just as described and pictured. It was quiet, comfortable, and walking distance to a great coffee shop, restaurants, and most importantly, the ocean. (Plus, a lovely view of the ocean.) Petko was easy to communicate with too.

Absolutely perfect location in Pacifica!! The ocean view and sounds from the living room are exactly what we were hoping for

Wow! The place was é a toy like the pictures. Easy access, one block from the beach. Huge fully stocked kitchen. I loved the little details. Beach towels, beach chairs. The place was impeccable. Contact with the host was easy and fast. I’d highly recommend! And will be coming back! Thanks for having us ❤️

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We appreciated that it is independently owned, including the community activism to give back. The location was great, we were able to walk to the beach for dinner; and a short drive to the college and other areas.

Perfect place to stay near the beach. Was too cold for beach activities but enjoyed walking the neighborhoods along the beaches with all the spring flowers blooming. House had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Great hosts!

What an absolutely stellar and extremely comfortable home. My entire family greatly enjoyed the hospitality, well appointed kitchen, fantastic outdoor space and the built in bunkbeds worked perfectly for our teens. Incredible location and visiting the nearby Farmer's Market was a definite highlight (as well as the beaches of course!). We'd love to return sometime in the future! Thank you!

We had a great stay. Ian’s place is cute, comfortable, and close to everything but still nice and quiet. Beds were super comfortable, and the kitchen was spacious and well-stocked. My dogs had a great time walking through the neighborhood to the beach and hanging out in the fenced in backyard! The hot tub was a highlight, and Ryan (Ian’s brother) was awesome—he spent nearly a whole day cleaning it after the previous guests to make sure it was perfect for us. Communication with him was excellent. Would definitely stay here again!

We loved staying at Shelli’s home in Monterey Dunes Colony. Every room was set up nicely and clean, and you could tell Shelli has put a lot of care into the home. There were 7 of us and each family member enjoyed their stay. We love staying at Monterey Dunes Colony because the location can’t be beat. Every home has their quirks but honestly we didn’t find any at Shelli’s. It was comfortable to hang out and enjoy the beach and scenery, and close enough to outdoor activities and the aquarium. The living room is set up comfortably for a big group, while offering privacy too. It was a restful and rejuvenating getaway! We plan to book again.

Lori's place was perfect for a large group of people to both enjoy each other's company in the large living/dining/deck areas, while having privacy for sleeping. It's two stories with lots of space inside and outside with a third story outside crow's nest deck as well. The hot tub was a bonus! The beach access was incredible and the best thing about the location. It's just a 2 min. walk away! The neighborhood is tranquil. Lori was easy and great to work with as well! What a special time!

Very peaceful and great place to stay

e stayed for a few nights, and this location was unbelievable! The property itself was stunning and private—just what we were looking for. Every amenity we could possibly need for a short getaway was thoughtfully provided. As Bay Area natives, we’re so excited to have found a spot like this for quick escapes. The Boardwalk had arcades open and some shops stayed open late, which was a nice surprise. The beach closes at midnight, making late-night walks peaceful and relaxing—and the 10-minute walk back is super easy. Downtown is only a 12-minute stroll, so it’s convenient to wander, grab food, and explore at your own pace. There are tons of great dining options throughout the day. This place truly had it all—convenient, cozy, and close to everything.

I wish I could rate this 10 stars. This was by far the best AirBnB experience my family has had. The house was pristinely clean. I was shocked how kid friendly the property was with board games, more books than the listing showed, chairs, beach items, and even down to have sensitive shampoo for guest if they needed it. Liz also accommodated an early check in request. The stroll to the beach is roughly a quarter mile and is extremely easy to walk, even with a toddler. Thank you Liz!

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!

Beautiful condo only a block and 1/2 away from the beach/pier. The home was fully stocked and the beds were very very comfy! Loved the outdoor patio area with the fire pit.

We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

We had a great time at Seascape. The home was right by the beach and playground, also central location to lots of places by Santa Cruz and Monterey. The home was spacious for three adults, a toddler and baby. It was also very clean and comfortable. We will definitely be back!

After a last minute cancellation by another property, we were lucky enough to find Blake and Lisa’s wonderful home. The whole space is beautifully renovated and the view is incredible. We actually changed some of our plans so we could spend more time staying in and watching everything going on at the beach. Getting to see dolphins from the kitchen, living room, and master bedroom was a real treat. The walking path along the beach is just steps from the door, as well as several restaurants, a market, and a deli. Parking was right outside the door as well, and the neighborhood was quiet. We can’t wait to go back and spend more time there. Thank you, Lisa, for being so accommodating and helpful with our last minute booking. We really appreciate everything!

Amazing host, super responsive and friendly. Could not ask for a better spot to stay in Capitola!

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).

This is our second time at Sally's Seaside Condo. Wescrutinized different units and we came back to this one for several reasons - of course, Sally is great to work with, very responsive and helpful. The key amenity is the view - we love the sunset from this unit ... April through the summer from this unit. The view is indeed the killer feature. Everything All the rest is gravy - the unit is setup very comfortable for a weekend stay, walking to restaurants across the street, walking to the beach, hot tub, etc..
