Family-friendly vacation rentals in Martinez

The home is very lovely. It felt safe in the neighborhood. I failed to read information about a resident cat however, and I'm allergic to cats. The cat was not there at the time and thanks to the cleaning that preceded our stay, I did not have an allergic reaction. Thank you, Lisa

We loved this home. The area was great and near everything and the street was nice and quiet for the area. The home was immaculate, the care to maintain this home is obvious! Next time we are in San Francisco, this will be our first choice for lodging.

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful garden, responsive host, ample street parking. Definitely worth the price. Plus there's a hot tub you can use after the end of a long day or before the start of one like how we used. MINUTES away from bars, restaurants, and shopping in Oakland. Great location. Thank you so much for the comfortable stay!

I'm tempted to only say horrible lies about this place, because I want to keep this gem all to myself. But I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this place. The location was gorgeous, the interior design was beautiful, and the hot tub in the middle of the redwoods was just the cherry on top.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Laura’s place. The place was super cute and it was along a creek. We loved the eucalyptus trees and the greenery surrounding the cottage. We both enjoyed hot tub after a long day of exploring Berkeley nearby.

Danielle’s home was cozy and sweet. It was very clean and she responded quickly to our questions.

My daughter and I had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless, well-equipped with great amenities, and exactly as described. The garden and backyard truly stand out as it provided such a peaceful and safe atmosphere in a larger city. The host was also very friendly and made everything easy and comfortable. If we ever come back to the Bay Area, we will definitely stay again! ☺️

Don & Lori are great! Attention to detail, helpful & quickly responds! I’ll be back!

Ramil's place was located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, yet still close enough to San Francisco that traveling back and forth throughout the day was easy to do. This location was also only 15-20 minutes away from the Oakland airport. If we return to the Bay area anytime in the near future, I'll definitely be looking at Ramil's place again!

This review is actually from my husband (we booked his stay through my Airbnb account): My second stay here with just a 2 day break in between, 7+ weeks in all at Amy’s and Edgar’s. Lovely people. Very welcoming. Everything I needed to be comfortable and functional - including remote work situation - and great hiking just outside the door, during a particularly stressful period in my life.

I enjoyed my time at Audrey’s place. They are centrally located and the backyard is a beautiful place to work or unwind. Audrey, Jordie, and the pups were very friendly and hospitable. I would highly recommend their place for any guest visiting Oakland.

This house is an absolute gem! It’s so cool, fantastic environment, beautifully decorated with everything you’ll need. It’s smack in the middle of amazing redwood trees, walkable to town and close to so many activities. The hosts are equally great, so friendly and helpful. I wouldn’t have changed a single thing. Our kids are already asking when we can go back!

I stayed here for a month and it was great, I highly recommend! As described and seen in the pictures. Annie was helpful and ensured I had everything I needed. I think this apartment is perfect for 1-2 people with a child or small/medium-sized pet. Clean and cozy with nice, warm lighting. The bed was comfy, kitchen was small but well-equipped, living room was roomy with a medium-sized couch, and bathroom more than sufficient. I loved relaxing on the deck as well! The neighborhood is hilly and beautiful, close to bus/ferry/restaurants/stores. Touristy downtown, but not as much in the immediate vicinity. I walked A LOT with my dog and enjoyed it, but the hills can be steep! Definitely a very safe area. The only “con” is, in my opinion, it’s just a bit expensive for the size. However, I understand it’s in a pretty wealthy neighborhood and am sure Airbnb fees/taxes account for a decent part of the cost. Suffice to say, this is a once-in-a-long-while stay for me. Hopefully that’s fair.

I was in Danville to visit friends. I had time and easy opportunity to walk Iron Horse trail out their back gate to the downtown area and to enjoy the shops, restaurants and ambiance. The area is desirable for so many reasons and John's home and guest house is another pleasant part of that attraction. Thanks.

It was the perfect place for our family to gather over the holidays. Cozy but spacious with that back cottage providing a separate space for separate couple.

Absolutely delightful. I highly recommend this place. The home is lovely and well equipped. Excellent location. I have zero complaints! This place is something special and you will not regret booking.

I had a magic few days at Lori and Mike's. I drive a VW passat and I found the drive up the mountain to be non-challenging and even very fun by the end. The hosts are cool and easy to get along with. A+ doggo. Hot tub was great. Pool was fun. I usually stay in SF when I'm in the Bay Area. This was much more lovely and relaxing, with SF close enough that going in for dinner or a show felt like it wasn't a big deal. 100% would recommend this place. I brought my cat and had my lady friend with me for a night. Everyone loved it.

We had a wonderful trip to San Rafael. The house we stayed in was so lovely and cozy, with a really special and peaceful atmosphere. It felt like a little home away from home. Adam and Eli were incredibly kind and helpful. They answered all our questions and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. Their hospitality made everything even better. The area is beautiful, and we’re already looking forward to coming back. We’ve told our friends about this place, and they’re excited to visit too. It was such a sweet and memorable experience. We truly loved it!

Kathy and Jim's place was exactly as pictured. My husband and I enjoyed the Hawaiian theme, and we really loved spending time in the hot tub on chilly nights. There were so many nice touches - a welcome bottle of wine, coffee, cheese, breakfast items - and the cottage is well-stocked with anything you might need. You're an easy Uber ride away from wineries and the main square. Though the square is walkable if you feel up for approx a mile long walk. We wouldn't hesitate to book again!!

Nancy was the nicest and most accommodating host we’ve had at a rental so far. We arrived late one evening when I realized I misplaced the dinner I’d packed to eat when we arrived and when I asked Nancy (who was greeting us when we first arrived) about pizza delivery options, she offered us a nice frozen cornbread pizza to cook in the rental. My hungry young son was so relieved. The backyard overlooks an incredibly green and peaceful hillside and we had such a relaxing time. Also downtown Fairfax is so close by and so adorable. Would love to come back!

This was our 3rd stay here and as always it was amazing! Jenny is the most thoughtful host and we can’t wait to be back again soon!

Had an amazing stay at Gina’s house for a girls retreat weekend. The house is amazing with really good vibes! Kitchen was fantastic for cooking group meals and overall could not have asked for a better place!

My friends and I had a fantastic stay at Tina's home! Tina was so welcoming and offered flexible check-in/out times. She also left a bottle of wine for us in the fridge. The home is in a beautiful, rural part of Sonoma. It's such a peaceful and private location, but close to everything! We enjoyed watching the hot air balloons above the backyard in the morning and going on walks/runs from the house. The house is clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed! The weather was warm, so we were able to enjoy the pool and hot tub. I can't wait to come back with my family!

The most incredible home and location!! So far exceeded our expectations!! The setting was gorgeous and serene and perfectly located - short drive to amazing restaurants and vineyards!! We’re already searching for our next opportunity to visit this amazing property!! Couldn’t recommend it more!!!
