Stones throw from the beach

Nothing like a good ol' fashioned game of Marco Polo in the pool.

The outdoor pool takes vacay vibes to new heights.

Mission-style escape in a gardeny 7-acre setting. Outdoor pool, hot tub and fitness center seal the deal.

These digs are so creative-centric the name’s literally an acronym for ‘Life is Art.’

You can easily hoof it to the BART station. Read: the city’s yours for the explorin’.

Freebies include WiFi, and onsite parking. Climb aboard.

Shuttle runs to the airport and BART, for easy access to SF.

A modern spin on the classic motel-style setup. Rooms rock an updated mid-century vibe done in cocoa-brown, mid-tone woods and crisp white.

Complimentary hot breakfast waiting for us every morning, which is more than we can say for our apartments.

Laid-back west coast vibes.

You know what’s nice to wake up to? Free breakfast, that’s what.

Just a skip from the airport. (Psst...go ahead, sleep in.)

Looking forward to some alone-time with your book, or just hanging out with your travel-mates? Shady outdoor seating area awaits.

The nearby Avenue of the Giants leaves you with no words. Just a big, open mouth. (And maybe a neck ache.)
