House rentals with a pool

Luxury home, hot tub/spa pool, walk to restaurants
Linda’s place was great. It was clean and comfortable and the location was great. A quick walk into the adorable town of Glen Ellen. The backyard is gorgeous and the spa pool was a fun perk to enjoy.

Spacious home w/heated pool/hot tub, lovely yard
Beautiful property with the right amount of space for everyone. Large living room, kitchen, separate space for pets and kids (pool side). It was very close to multiple restaurants, quite neighborhood. Felt like home.

Serene Wine Country Retreat with Pool & Hot Tub
I almost don't want to tell you how good this place is, so we can rent it again sometime. :-) But it's that good. We visited over spring break with our daughters, eight and 11, and had one of the most amazing stays we've ever had at an Airbnb. The home, the land, the pool, and the local area are all 100% amazing. And the sunsets. You know how you sometimes stay at Airbnb's where you feel like the hosts did the bare minimum to qualify to list it? This is *not* that place. There is everything you need and more. Thank you so much SatKartar!

*Heated* Swimming Pool Retreat Near Sonoma Square
The house was exactly as described and comfy. Plenty of room for 8, and in a quiet neighborhood. We didn’t use the pool but it looked so inviting for summertime! Great place to stay with a group. Thanks!

Luxury home (+ pool house) with views, pool & spa
Thanks for having us! Loved your outside especially.

Heated Pool / Hot Tub. Walk to Shops, Wine, Food.
Stewart's place way very comfortable. It accommodated our group well, and had everything we needed. Relaxing to lounge in the back, enjoy the pool and hot tub. Easy to find, and in a good location. Stewart also reached out with instructions and welcoming reassure if we needed anything.

The Deer Retreat – Privacy and Comfort
We just finished an incredible girls weekend up at Dave and Julian's place. The beds were all so comfortable, the place is huge, and the outdoor space would have been amazing had we had warmer/better weather but we didn't miss having that options too much. All the surfaces to sit were mostly very comfortable and fit our 4 people well, and we also enjoyed the dual heating. There were plenty of blankets and pillows to go around, and the kitchen was so spacious and nice. DoorDash is easy to get to the house with lots of options if you're too tired from exploring to go back out for a meal. I loved that this is in a country setting but SO CLOSE to downtown Sebastopol, it made that much more cozy for us. We can't wait to book another stay in the future, and it has been a gem of a find in our girl's trip adventures. *If you are allergic to dogs, don't stay here. There was some dog hair on the couch, which isn't a big deal for us as we are all dog people. Just something to note!*

Zen Meets Pool Retreat!
My family had a fantastic time. The house was incredibly well-stocked. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, which is sometimes rare in an Airbnb. The pool and hot tub were the highlights for our family (and my 5 year old, specifically) - it was clean and very well-maintained. Instructions were clear and Steven was very responsive. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you, Steven!

Beautiful Home. Gorgeous Views. Five Bedrooms.
Bill was the most gracious, proactive host. We loved the house and he communicated with us throughout the process. The only 2 things we didn't love was the really windy, narrow road. And we expected a huge walkable garden which definitely wasn't the case. Its on a steep hill with no walkable garden. The upstairs balcony has great views and so do most all the rooms. Great home. Great host.

Vineyard Retreat | 3BR Home Near Sonoma & Napa
Julie is an excellent host! We had a fantastic time at the cottage and casita. The pictures and description matched the Airbnb posting and we couldn’t have been more pleased about the picturesque vineyard surroundings. Julie also added the best tiny details like robes in every room, shampoo and conditioner, and additional home supplies. Her guidebook to the surrounding area was also an excellent touch. I would definitely recommend this home for your next getaway!

2 BR/3 BD/full BT, whole suite, parking, near SFO
Excellent place and great host !!

3033 - Fully set up comfort studio
Great studio apartment, very comfortable bed, large kitchen, quick hot water in the shower. Was traveling for work and this little place checked all of the boxes.

Modern Cozy House Near Shops, Beach, Dining, Golf
We enjoyed staying here. The location was convenient and easy to find. We felt safe and walked to Target and other shops at the shopping center down the road. The house is about 15 minutes from San Francisco International Airport, 20-30 min from Japantown and downtown. The house was clean and well-cared for.

Cole Valley Casa
Our stay at Caroline's place was wonderful. We have two kids so the private outdoor space was great. The location was wonderful with restaurants, cafes, bars, grocery, etc. Also walking distance to Golden Gate Park. I would definitely recommend.

Cozy Garden suite 2 Bedrooms 4 Beds 1 Bath Parking
Larry and Ana's place was the best Airbnb we've ever stayed at! The house was so well kept, the house contained every item you could think of and the backyard was so peaceful. Check-in was very easy and Larry and Ana responded quickly to any questions we had. The location was perfect for all our adventures we had planned, Ocean beach, Alcatraz, the Exploratorium, the San Francisco Zoo and the San Francisco Aquarium. We definitely would like to return. Our family of 4 had the best time!

Entire Private Coastal Retreat - Spectacular Ocean
The home is beautiful inside and out. It was such a relaxing and comfortable place to stay. We enjoyed the fenced backyard for our dogs - we enjoyed walking around the yard (it is as big as some small parks!) and let them enjoy the grass while we enjoyed the views of the ocean and hearing the waves crash and pelicans fly at our eye level! Only a few steps to get into the home was easy enough for my elderly mother as well. This is a perfect location to explore the surrounding areas too - we visited Los Gatos, San Francisco, Point Reyes Station, and stopped by the Apple visitor center. Pacifica and HMB had great choices for coffee and breakfasts to get us going on our day journeys. If we could live there - we would! I know we will be dreaming of the views from the living room for a long time. Hope to come back soon! Thank you again for such a wonderful stay.

Thornsberry House, A Luxe Wine Country Getaway
Our stay in Sonoma at the Thornsbury house was a dream. The hosts thought of everything and we were able to enjoy the gorgeous (and heated!) pool, the cool crisp morning walks for coffee, and the amazing wine all around! The living and sleeping spaces were beyond relaxing and private. Kitchen well stocked for cooking and gorgeous tables for big dinners with wine. We hope to be back many more times!

Beautiful Single Level Home
Perfect house to connect with our kids, grandkids and granddogs. Plenty of room, everything was clean and the beach was fantastic. We would definitely rent this house again!

Lovely 3 Bedroom house in SFO/Bay Area Wi-Fi A/C
Excellent experience! I rarely like staying at the same spot more than once. However, we will 100% look for this same listing again next time that our family is back in the bay area to visit our family. Great property!

2 bedrooms house with sauna
Peter's Airbnb was even more beautiful in person than on the listing! It has a very relaxing, cozy, and calming atmosphere with beautiful decorations. There are trails to walk around on the property that have beautiful views and beautiful plants. I had this Airbnb for a work-trip for only 3 nights, but wished I could've stayed much longer!

4 Bedroom house-No partying/smoking!
Beautiful space. Perfect for a group. Had everything I needed for a one night stay.

HotTub/OceanFront/Sauna/Massage Chair/Pinball/Pets
Staying here was awesome. A quick phone call with Ben, who was great, got us straightened out for the weekend. Very peaceful, clear instructions for how to use things, and the pinball is a blast!

Wine Country Fairgrounds AC BBQ Downtown Stocked!
Would really recommend this place to anyone and would definitely rebook this home if it is available the next time my co workers and I are staying for a work trip. Host was really responsive and was able to accommodate accordingly to our needs really good response times.

Wine Country Escape with 4 King beds & hot tub!
Really enjoyed our stay here while visiting wineries in Sonoma and Napa! The place felt like home and was very well appointed with everything we needed. We brought our 1 year old son along and they had many baby items we were able to use and it was easy to keep the main living area pretty baby safe for a kiddo on the move. Location was great, quiet neighborhood but still close to many wineries and downtown Sonoma. Just be aware of strict noise policy at nighttime so don’t plan to use the hot tub/fire pit super late at night. Overall was a great stay and would stay again if we come back!
