The beach for San Francisco

[Billie]

Hi! I used to live in SoWal and now live across the bay (Emeryville) from San Francisco. We live in an upscale new highrise and would like to trade dwellings with someone for our vacation in October. Granted, we don't have a huge house to swap, 2 bedroom, 2 bath, 1000 sf, all new, very nice, 5 minutes to SF, pool, gym, nicely appointed. Just thought this might find someone interested for a week in October. Or does anyone have suggestions. I know there are housing swap sites, but we don't live in a house...checking on condo swap sites as well. Thanks! Amy

Amy!

I have always wanted to do a house/condo swap but San Fran is not in my cards this year. You never know someone may want to - good luck. I always thought house swapping was a cool idea.

hey - have you tried http://www.couchsurfing.com - i don't know if anyone will switch homes but you never know - my daughter uses this a lot - she has stayed in San Francisco, New Mexico, Oregon - met lots of great people - you don't have to switch - some people just let you stay for free!!! Maybe some sowal people will register there - it's really fun - for people of all ages --

When in October?

We're busy until the 18th, but could maybe do something right after that... we have a 2BR/2BA in old seagrove... trade might include dogsitting....

Hi! Thanks for all your posts. Much appreciated! Would love to trade with people who posted. Dog sitting...no problem. My husband is a firefighter and has a FEMA search and rescue dog (who is with other handlers when we vacation), and we love dogs. Also, I forgot to mention that I'm good friends with many people on here, so if you need references, I'm sure we know the same people. The 18th would be too late for us this time, but we are trying to make it to Fla 4 times a year.

What kind of prices are you seeing on air fare and what is your route?

I have cousins both in San Fran, and Oakland. Don't get to visit much, would be cool!

 

[Billie]

I know you guys!! It's Amy Hyde...Would love to trade with any of you. I can send you some photos of our place as well. Airfare...about 350 has been the lowest from VPS or PNS to SFO or Oak at times. Hope you are all doing well!!

What dates are you considering? We have a 3/2 condo at Blue Mountain Village. Hoping to make a trip during the fall this year.
