Widen your World View and Visit the San Francisco and Bay Area

It’s known as the Bay Area, and it consists of San Francisco and so much more. Between the ocean, the mild weather and the vibrant cityscape there’s a tempting enough reason for anyone to stop by for a few days of escapist and relaxing California fun.


From Inverness to Pescadero, this slice of the west coast is consistently attractive. It’s not the cheapest place to live but several million people call it home, meaning it’s one of those hard-to-resist, can’t-tear-yourself-away locales. Funky Berkeley, hi-tech San Jose and sophisticated San Francisco are just a few broad reasons to head this direction. Imagining the Golden Gate Bridge, fabulous ethnic cuisine, great shopping deals, historic neighborhoods, stunning views and one-of-a-kind attractions like Alcatraz should get your motor running, and of course there is much more to feast your eyes on beyond these basics.


A smart way to position yourself so as to take full advantage of The Bay is to check out all the vacation rental options and pick the one that makes sense for your situation. Go for the bay view, a street view, a garden view…make it large enough for the family to spread out or choose a cozy bungalow that will make you and your girlfriends feel like you’re back at summer camp – only this time with wine, excellent food and plenty of freedom to do what you want to do.


Whether you end up plunging into the beat of the city or enjoying a retreat from all the hubbub, taking up temporary residency here will acquaint you with an established and well-loved locale.
