Vacation rentals with beach access in San Rafael

Really enjoyed the bay views!! The unit was perfect for what I needed this spring break from work and school

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

Gary's place was exactly as described. Absolutely perfect location in a great little town. Gary was a excellent host and was very accommodating and understanding with a mix-up (on my end). My only hesitation on recommending Gary's place is that I want it to be available when we come back!! :) Highly recommended and would absolutely stay again!

This cute little ground-floor apartment is right around the corner from downtown Alameda, making it easy to walk to shops and restaurants or just around the neighborhood admiring the fascinating architecture. The apartment is clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully equipped with toiletries and office supplies in case you forget something. Though some noise is inevitable from the main house above, the occupants took care to minimize it, and it was not an issue for us. Bathtub notes: There is plentiful hot water and a great showerhead. The tub, however, is straight-backed and not comfortable for lounging.

pleasant decor, all the amenities you could need (Laundromat just next door), friendly neighbors, soft bed, shower has great pressure and all the hot water, even some tequila in the cupboard! 😅 Only thing I could complain about is it gets HOT in there on a hot day but just open the doors and hit the fans. Oh and such nice gardening, fragrant flowers everywhere. Thanks Kyle!

Absolutely beautiful home. Everything we needed was available and labeled. Great location. Edmund was very helpful and quick to respond to questions and concerns.

Super charming place with amazing landscaping, ideal location, and exactly as described. Katina was communicative and friendly. Will almost certainly stay there again.

Place was great and Brad answered all our questions promptly. Great views from the rooftop deck.

We had a magical multigenerational stay at Locke's house in Inverness with my husband, three year old and my parents. We visit Pt Reyes regularly and the location is absolutely perfect, quick walk across the road to Chicken Ranch Beach for kids to romp around, a quick drive into Pt Reyes station for dinner, and easy access to all the wonderful Pt Reyes trails. The house itself was cosy, quiet, had amazing views from the deck (and was sunny most of the day which is rare on this side of Tomales bay!) and felt like a real home. We really liked having the separate cottage to provide a bit more privacy and quiet with a young kiddo with us, and we found the kitchen was well equipped for cooking in the evenings. The only very minor challenge we had was trying to heat the cottage and main house evenly as they are on the same heating system, and the nights were chilly during our visit. Definitely staying here again on future trips to Pt Reyes.

This place felt like a bit of a splurge for us, but it was well worth it! Breathtaking natural surroundings aside, it was such a well-equipped home, with nearly everything one could wish for at your fingertips! From fire starting supplies to kitchen implements, Bluetooth speaker to flashlights by the bedside, Kathleen’s thoughtful, stylish amenities made us feel comfortable, cozy, and cared for! As someone else noted in their review, I’ve never returned to the same Airbnb twice, but we’re already longing for another stay at the Haiku House!

Had a wonderful and relaxing stay. The home is comfortable, super clean, with an awesome backyard for our dog. Just a short walk to the beach, trails at Mori point, and Sharp park. The whole area is stunning. Mel is probably the best Airbnb host we’ve had. She left us locally baked goods and even some groceries so we could relax after a long drive. Definitely would recommend a stay!

Liping was a wonderful host — very responsive and provided clear, easy-to-follow instructions throughout our stay. The place was just what we needed, and we were happy to have stayed there. Would definitely consider staying again in the future!

We had a fabulous holiday celebration with my extended family in the home. One bedroom was below the garage which was perfect for our younger children who go to bed early. The garage has a flipable pool table and ping pong - which was wonderful.

Jeff's old victorian home is beautiful. Walls decorated with paintings and details that give warm and cozy ambiance. The big backyard gives you room to stretch n breathe. We got sweet oranges to enjoy with bfast too. Restaurants were within 15-30 minutes walking distance. Roomy driveway. The only drawback is the one bathroom. Taking turn for shower took a while for 4 of us.

Laura was a great host, very accommodating and responsive, and had helpful suggestions of things to do in the neighborhood. The place was very clean and cozy, had everything we needed to feel at home for a few days.

There are beautiful views of the ocean from this spacious home. It was an easy drive to San Francisco and we enjoyed the local restaurants as well. The kitchen was large and well-maintained and it was easy to adjust the house temperature to be comfortable for both the main floor and upstairs.

We had a great stay at this Airbnb! The place was immaculately clean upon arrival, which we really appreciated. The host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and very accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. The location is also a huge plus—just two blocks from a beautiful park, perfect for a morning stroll or some fresh air. One thing to note is that this unit is on the third floor, which was fine for us but did come with some challenges. We have two small children, and it was difficult at times to keep them quiet for the tenants below. If you’re traveling with little ones, just be mindful that noise can carry. Also, the WiFi was not working during our stay, which was a bit inconvenient, but hopefully, that was just a temporary issue. Overall, a great stay in a well-kept space with a wonderful host. Would definitely recommend!

Great stay in the Bay Area

Outstanding hosts and place - we will be back for sure - great location!

We had a great time staying at Melanie Joy's place. The location can't be beat, and her place was clean and spacious for the two of us. Would recommend for a nice stay in peaceful in Pacifica.

Nancy’s home was so comfortable and welcoming to my 5 year old daughter and me. We enjoyed just hanging out in the sunny living room and then exploring the neighborhood. This was the perfect place for a long weekend visit. Beach, restaurants, public transportation… all right at your fingertips!

Had a great time, View was amazing! We thought the tram was awesome.

I have rented many apartments in San Francisco and this is by far the best! The steps up are quite steep but the spectacular view makes the climb worthwhile. The apartment is spacious and nicely furnished. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you will need and there is a washer and dryer. Jeff was a very responsive, friendly and helpful host. I will try to book this apartment every time I travel to San Francisco and cannot recommend it highly enough!

The residence far exceeded my expectations. Very clean. Everything I needed to “live” a week there, felt like home
