About this property

Cozy, modern 1-bedroom guest suite with backyard ocean view!

Fall in love with this modern & sunny, 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartment with walk-in shower, refrigerator, TV, coffee/tea, & fast internet.

First-floor unit (430 sq ft) with private entrance has views of nature & access to a peaceful backyard—steps from an awe-inspiring view of the Pacific Ocean.

This one-of-a-kind, tranquil getaway offers the best of the Bay Area at your fingertips! Walk to hiking trails, drive 5-min. to the beach, & 20-min. to San Francisco or SFO airport.

We look forward to your stay with us at Linda Vista del Mar (beautiful view of the sea)! We want to do everything we possibly can to ensure you have a great experience staying with us, so it's important that you understand the setup:

The private entrance guest suite is located downstairs in our 2-story home. My partner and I live upstairs and we both work from home. We are in our 40s-50s with 4 cats, no kids. See profile for more on us. We don't wear shoes in the house and don't party. And sorry folks, no parties allowed in the unit.

We have insulated the unit but this is shared living so you will hear some noise transfer. Your bedroom is below our kitchen and your living room is below our living room (and Charlene works in there--my office is on the other side of the house). The bedroom is on the street side. It has a double-paned window but you can hear cars (most through traffic during commute hours). Our bedroom is also on the street side but on second floor on other side of the house.

No pets allowed. No kids. We unfortunately cannot accommodate children because the unit and the backyard are not set up for them due to sharp edges, no childproof cabinets, unfenced hillside, ceramics, etc.

Have questions or need recommendations during your stay? Just let us know and we'll be happy to help!

The property is great nice views of the bay, very cozy apartment, very modern and exceptional out of doors. The backyard looking down under the bay. The backyard is a succulent garden that is a living, evolving work of art. Well, worth a return trip.

Great stay

We were extremely pleased with our experience in Pacifica. The accommodations were exactly as described, the neighborhood was central to restaurants, hiking and activities, and the view was spectacular! We enjoyed the backyard and hosts made us feel at home. The native plants and succulents in the back were utterly amazing!

Such a cute little get away!

The place was super cute and quiet. I loved hanging out in the garden area and looking at all the cool little succulents, & the kitties were a nice bonus. The view was gorgeous when it wasn’t foggy, and I’d totally stay here again.

Amazing Views - Relaxing Stay!

My husband and I needed a few days out of our loud neighborhood in SF. This cozy cottage, overlooking the ocean was just what we needed. The cottage has everything you need from heaters, to coffee and soft towels. Communication was very clear with the owners from key pad entry instructions to checkout. Street parking was safe and easy!

California Dreamin'

When planning an anniversary trip, we were determined to get out of the city and out of a hotel. After searching for properties, I kept coming back to this one - and I am so glad I did! The previous reviews are all spot on and the exterior views are breathtaking. Mike and Charlene paid fantastic attention to detail throughout this downstairs "resort", and the succulent garden in the back was just an extra perk for two plant lovers. Ease of check-in and instruction access were ideal. We felt at home all week. Whether you are looking to be near, but outside of San Francisco for a quick stop-in or are taking a drive down Hwy 1, I would recommend a stay at this beautiful property. Can't wait to return for a visit!

Excellent, communicative hosts. Suite is perfect for couples visiting the area. Easy access to San Francisco and the beaches. Pacifica is a cool little town. Very laid back. Backyard has an unbelievable view of the ocean and mountains. Our son lives nearby and we'll stay here when we visit.

Piece of paradise by San Francisco

We loved our stay in this cozy and comfortable 1 bedroom mini apartment woth everything you need and an awe inspiring view of the ocean in Pacifica. We felt right at home and appreciate the details and clear communication by the owner, Mike. A personal note and a bottle of wine greeted us upon our arrival (to celebrate our honeymoon). We enjoyed coffee with wildflowers at our feet and an amazing ocean view. This location was a perfect escape and allowed us to enjoy the peaceful coast as well as the city attractions of San Francisco just a short drive away. We loved our stay and hope to return and stay again when we are up in the Bay Area. ! Thanks so much Mike!

Not only was the view breathtaking, Mike and Charlene were so kind and welcoming, were easy to communicate with, and left clear instructions. They even left us a sweet note and a bottle of wine for when we arrived. The space was clean and comfy, and they had it stocked with all the little ammenities and important things.

Recovery Oasis

My wife and I were in town so that I could have surgery and recover for a month before returning home. It is an ideal place for rest and relaxation: cozy, comfortable, clean, and complete with needed amenities like a kitchen and laundry. The backyard offered stunning views and sunsets to make even the days when I could not get out special. Hosts Mike and Charlene were courteous and easy to communicate with. Mike always gave us a heads up about any goings on around the property and always had the quality of our stay in mind. Instructions for check-in, check out, and the property in general were always very clearly communicated. Would highly recommend this VRBO property and host!

About the host

Hosted by Mike Kahn

Host profile image
I'm a Bay Area native and have traveled throughout the U.S. and many parts of the world. I love being able to share my knowledge of this area, as others did for me during my travels. I am passionate about nature and environmental issues--ask me about the magic of the ancient Coast Redwoods or the challenges of planned obsolescence. I live with my partner, Charlene, who is originally from Malaysia (fluent in Malay, Mandarin and Cantonese).

We are happy to interact with you, provide recommendations and be as helpful as we can. We do also understand if you want your space and privacy.

Why they chose this property

It was our shared love of nature that brought me and Charlene to this magical spot in Pacifica. If you love breathtaking views, native plants and succulents (Charlene is a succulent addict :), then you'll love our backyard! We truly enjoy having others experience the connection to nature we have here everyday.

What makes this property unique

Both the amazing connection to the serenity of the Pacific Coast and the proximity to the hustle and bustle of San Francisco and the greater Bay Area make this the perfect, cozy place to launch your adventures from and retreat to at the end of the day (or just lounge in the backyard gazing out at the ocean all day! :).
