The rain tapering off *crosses fingers** in the Greater Bay Area means several things — warmer and sunnier days in most places, and continued snow in Tahoe. Either way, there’s no better time for a local group getaway. All of these Bay Area vacation rentals are pet-friendly, accommodate at least six people, are available to book in May and have either a pool, hot tub or nearby ocean access. What else do need? Here’s a sample of the properties available — click through for more and happy booking!
