Tropical Oasis, Downtown Palo Alto/Stanford 655
The whole team worked together and was very responsive. I left a couple of items behind and they were able to locate them and return to me. Thank you

Marina Bliss: Designer Suite, Waterfront, Private
My second time staying here, great home exactly as pictured. The home is quiet, peaceful and in a great location. No reason not to stay here if you are interested.

“Alameda Island Hideaway”- Clean, Safe, Modern
Unit C was exactly as described. The bedrooms upstairs are spacious, with plenty of closet space and a nice dresser in each room. The bathroom upstairs is a standard 70-80's bathroom with a shower/tub , one sink and toilet. The kitchen downstairs is well equipped with pots and pans. Nice washer and dryer in the unit. Everything was impeccably clean and well organized. The sofabed feels cold because it is not fabric so I would suggest putting a few blankets under the sheets if you intend to use it. There are extra blankets at the place. The unit is at the very end of a driveway so it is very quiet and peaceful. There is a nice fenced in yard if you have little ones. A great benefit is that there is an excellent bakery and well-stocked supermarket less than a block away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Heather's place and would rent it again in a heartbeat!

5 Acres Mountain Retreat - 2 BR / 1.5BA
Amazing views, and amazing patio to read a book early morning, not far from Capitola and Santa Cruz, definitely would stay again!

Cozy Garden Unit with All Amenities
Michelle's apartment was wonderful for my 4 nights stay. It's located in a great spot and felt safe. Apartment was very clean, quiet, well appointed and ready with amenities and supplies. Beds and pillows were ideal for comfortable sleeping. Michelle was great at communicating and accommodating. Would love to be back!

Noe Valley entire guest suite overlooking downtown
Our stay at Veronica's exceeded all expectations. The location was perfect—everything we wanted to see was just a short 10–15 minute drive away. The home itself was spotless, spacious, and looked exactly like the photos. Veronica was an exceptional host, always quick to respond and incredibly kind throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

2 bedrooms house with sauna
What a beautiful and tranquil place. Peter was great and very responsive. The home is filled with beautiful art pieces and objects and the grounds were lush and peaceful. There was plenty of amenities for us with everything working as it should. At this time, they are still waiting on a hot tub but I was aware that was unavailable when I booked thanks to another review. The sauna was a great add on though!

Modern beach bungalow - 1/2 block from ocean
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.
Vacation rentals with pools in San Jose

Quiet Poolside Cottage for Solitude
Stunning space in a beautiful backyard with gardens and pool. We enjoyed the neighborhood, Los Gatos, Saratoga, lovely dining experiences, wineries, and just exploring. All first class with the help of Marlene's numerous recommendations! What made our stay so special was all that, but more so was our interactions with Marlene. She is a delight and a wonderful host, and we look forward to future visits.

Rustic Cabin in the Redwoods
We will definitely be coming back. It's an amazing escape with beautiful surroundings. The amenities were perfectly curated with even some food items in the refrigerator ready for you when you arrive. I do want to pass on a helpful hint - the road to the home is very curvy and the small road that leads to the entrance of the home is off of the main road and is not obvious if you are not ready and looking for it. You can stay here with confidence knowing that you will have a wonderful experience.

Greenwood Guest House, a Peaceful Oasis
Amy's place was wonderful - one of the few places we've ever stayed that was even better in person than in pictures. It was clean, spacious, and very comfortable for the 2 of us. The outdoor space was amazing, plenty of quiet spaces to lounge in the sun and walk around. The area was great as well, quiet but close to downtown, and Amy was a thoughtful and responsive host, we really appreciated her thoughtfulness. The one thing to note is that the Wi-fi could be unreliable - we both worked from the Airbnb, and made it work for the week, but something to note for future visitors. We'd definitely recommend this place and plan to come back next time we visit. Thank you Amy!

Little Poolside House near Downtown Mountain View!
Fantastic location, just a short walk to the Castro, in a lovely neighborhood.

Private Queen Suite-Pool & Hot Tub, private entry
Very comfortable space, peaceful pool and hot tub, wonderful host! The space is just as described, with a very comfortable bed and high quality towels and bedding, well stocked and modern bathroom, and other useful amenities. The space was sparkling clean and private. Bonus that it is walking distance to shops and plenty of food options. Todd was a pleasure to communicate with and was highly responsive to all my questions ahead. I will definitely book again next time and highly recommend!

Beautiful 3BD Home w/ Heated Pool and Fire Pit
The house was great for our family stay. Lots of space, all on one level, and beautiful outdoor space. We travelled with our kids and they had a great time in the pool :) Note there is extra cost if you want the pool to be heated. Thanks for a great stay!

Spacious Top Floor Condo Retreat
This place is such a gem that I’m inclined to be selfish and not tell everyone about it! Modern appliances, close to grocery and mass department, clean and recently renovated. Very happy and will book this again!!

Bay Area getaway w/ Pool + Heated Spa + EV charger
Perfect house, close to the convention center, would definitely come again
Pet-friendly vacation rentals in San Jose

Pet Friendly w/Peloton, Fast WiFi, Fire Pit, BBQ
I had a wonderful stay at Ori’s place! The neighborhood is green and peaceful, making it a perfect spot to relax. The place itself was amazing—well-maintained and exactly as described. Ori was an incredibly responsive host, always quick to reply and accommodating. I requested an extra blanket, and he immediately honored the request, which I truly appreciated. One small area for improvement: I did notice some black-colored bugs that looked like a larger version of a spider. I wasn’t sure if this was due to the locality or something that needs attention in the place, but it might be worth looking into. Overall, a great stay with a fantastic host! Would recommend.

Los Gatos/Cambrian COTTAGE-HOT TUB/pvt.parking
Location was very quiet and peaceful. The room is clean and well organized. The hospitality of host was great. If I have a next chance, I want to stay again.

Bicycle Shack @ La Honda Pottery
This is a super sweet lovely little gem perched over a creek… benefit of having cats and lots of nature around. Incredible location, and lovely hosts. Ideal for a base, writing, reflection and pausing.

Peaceful Escape in Quiet Oakland Neighborhood
Sues house was great, we really have nothing to complain about at all. The beds and couch were really comfortable, the kitchen truly had everything needed and the food supplies were really nice to have since we got in late and wouldn’t have time to get food for the morning. For us the location was perfect, walkable to Dimond park and our friends houses, the cafes and restaurants on Park (shout out to sushi park!). Scooter, Sues dog, was the icing on the cake. My daughter had to stop by whenever possible to pet him and get some kisses. We will definitely be back when we come to Oakland.

Scotts Valley Lil Studio
Nice studio. It was clean and met our needs.

Private cottage in a garden
Very cute and comfortable! Slept great, bed was comfy. We brought our labrador and he enjoyed the outdoor spaces a lot which made it more comfortable. Only 10min drive to the Apple Campus and downtown Sunnyvale.

Cozy cabin the Redwoods - Dogs Welcome!
So peaceful and beautiful. Cozy inside, spacious yard outside. The dog loved exploring in the yard.

G & M #1 Livermore Wine/ E-Bike Getaway (Pets ok)
Lori and Don raise the bar on how to welcome guests. This home away from home was warm and welcoming, gorgeously stocked with small kindnesses to ease in travelers showing up late. I loved seeing a small flock of sheep and goats graze the pasture behind the house in the early morning, and hearing the chickens cluck in the frontyard coop while getting some fresh morning air.
