San Jose house rentals
Home in Oakland
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 111 reviewsBeautiful Home. Gorgeous Views. Five Bedrooms.
We and our dogs loved staying at this comfortable house. It was nice being out of the city bustle with a great view, yet near enough to shops when needed. The lack of a fenced, grassy yard was made up for by a nice walking loop along the quiet neighborhood streets. We will look forward to returning for our next visit to the area.

We stayed at Sharon’s for almost two weeks while my daughter recovered from ankle surgery. No steps were required to access the apartment. It was clean and beds were comfortable. It had a very serviceable kitchen. But more than anything else, Sharon was helpful and kind at a time when that meant a lot. I highly recommend her place.

Condo in San Jose
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 152 reviews⭐️On Santana Row! NEW Entire Condo! Self-check-in✅
We've traveled many times to SJC to visit grandkids. This studio apartment exceeded every brand hotel & extended stay place we've stayed at in the past. Was surprised to see Eugene's listing at Santana Row for the price. Besides the exceptional location to Santana Row (on site) & Valley Fair, the accomodations were super comfortable, spotless, well equipped, and safe. Also convenient to other SJC offerings. Eugene was very communicative before & during our visit. We will make this our to go property in the future.

We had an amazing stay at Conner’s airbnb. The condo was very spacious and bright with nice furnishings. I appreciated all the kitchen equipment and appliances. The very best is simply the location and the convenience it provides with its world class restaurants and shopping right downstairs. Thank you for a wonderful stay and can’t wait to be back again!

Condo in Marina District
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 104 reviewsLarge, Beautiful Flat in Cow Hollow
Carly and Allie’s home is amazing! As someone who lived in their neighborhood for many years I know how great of a find an apartment like theirs is. I visited with our two young kids (2 years and 3months old) and found it to be a comfortable and accommodating space for young kids. We didn’t run into any issues, hosts were incredibly responsive and the amenities were spot on. Would definitely recommend and come back!

This is the second time staying with Andrew and Irene and I love it! You can't beat the location - tucked a few blocks away from both the Presidio and the shops/restaurants on Chestnut. Andrew and Irene are gracious hosts and very accessible, but the unit still feels very private and safe. Highly recommend!

Home in Pescadero
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 162 reviewsOceanfront Views - Steps to the Beach
A perfect place for a family Thanksgiving retreat! This home is located in a most gorgeous natural setting right on the oceanfront, breathtaking views from almost every window. All listed amenities were present and we comfortably accommodated 8 people and could have added 2 more. The kitchen appliances are all excellent quality and in good working order and the workspace is great for multiple cooks. Our two grandsons (ages 7-1/2 and 3-1/2) never ran out of things to do. So many toys and games and movies for all ages. In short, this house was the most amazing place we have ever stayed with a larger group and Stefan was a kind, flexible and helpful host. He even made sure we had a roasting pan for our turkey!! Highly recommend.

A sweet little oasis near the coast. I was in town for a funeral and this space was so homey and comfortable. The hot tub was a real treat, I had such a good relaxing time while in that space. Helen was very responsive. The garden smelled beautiful!

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 111 reviews2 bedrooms house with cedar hot tub or sauna
I wanted to give my friend a special Christmas gift & going to Filoli Manson & a night close by to stay was it. Peter’s house was unique, interesting pieces of furniture & artwork, a turntable with selection of 78’s, an absolutely amazing seahorse light (I wanted to take that home), & the cedar hot tub. It was a cold & rainy so did not get to explore the extensive gardens & grounds. Planning a trip back in warmer weather to do just that. Thanks so much & happy holidays. Judi, Marty & Marianne
