Vacation rentals in San Francisco Bay
The San Francisco Bay Area centers on one of the world's most beautiful cities — the Golden Gate, Alcatraz, Victorian hills — then fans out to Sausalito's houseboats, Half Moon Bay's surf, and wine country at the bay's north end.
Best time to book
September–November for the warmest, clearest weather (summer brings the famous fog); spring is green and lovely.
Common rental types
Victorian apartments · Waterfront condos · Houseboats in Sausalito · Coastal cottages
Getting there
Fly into SFO, Oakland (OAK), or San Jose (SJC). BART connects all three airports' regions; in the city itself, skip the car and ride the cable cars and Muni.
