"What a beautiful home! Walking distance of a cafe, a bookstore, thrift shop, Italian restaurant and a grocery store. We enjoyed meeting the locals and walking on the walkway along the beach. The home was in great condition, however we were surprised by the lack of central air. We didn’t need it, Pacifica stayed a perfect 60-70 degrees the whole week, and we loved having the windows open during the days. Would absolutely stay here again."

Beach Front 6000SF 10b/6bth 7 Miles to SF Moscone Center

10/10 Excellent
"It's not easy to find a rental home for a big family reunion. With 10 rooms and 2 very well stocked kitchens, this spot works well! The ocean views and wave sounds are a real treat (we even saw whales) and the assortment of great side trips to San Francisco or along the coast are amazing. The house is tastefully decorated and the host, Lance, responds quickly to any messages. Parking for many cars was easy between the spots on site and on street parking. The area is inherently foggy but we saw plenty of sun in the afternoon. Grocery stores are close and well supplied. The dining tables were set for 24 people which was really great. Having 2 dishwashers upstairs was super handy. Being just 15 minutes from SFO is incredible. All in all, it's a great home for good times with a large group!"
