When you rent in Hayward, you're less than 30 miles from the gorgeous seaside community of Half Moon Bay, and about 45 miles from the redwoods and scenic hiking at Muir Woods National Monument in Marin County. Wine Country opulence awaits in Sonoma County and Napa Valley, which are roughly 70 miles away. Lake Tahoe and Yosemite National Park are both a three-hour drive away.
