• Number of bedrooms and bathrooms: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms
• Price: from $685/night          
• Best for: ocean views
• Pet-friendly: no

If you’re on the hunt for a spot with some seriously good ocean views, allow me to direct you to this Northern California stay in Pacifica. It really doesn’t get better than that outdoor deck (which has a hot tub and seating area) that offers a panoramic view of both the beach and the mountains. And if your family’s due for a day in the city, San Francisco is nearby.

Need proof before booking? Just hear what this guest had to say: “This house was absolutely beautiful, with the most stunning view of the surrounding area and water! The amenities were perfect for our family of ten, and everyone was very comfortable. We enjoyed the large hot tub right outside the basement. I would definitely choose this home again for another visit to San Francisco.”
