Gr8View-LrgDeck-BBQ-Spa-PoolTable-2xOven-Sleeps12
My family and I spent Christmas and New Year's at Justin's place, enjoying his beautiful decorated tree, thoughtful gifts, and delicious cake from a well known bakery and the stunning views of the mountains and city lights, including a firework show from the city. Justin‘s house is just big enough that we all have our own personal space but cozy enough that as a family we were all together.

Modern beach bungalow - 1/2 block from ocean
Audrey's bungalow is exactly as described. Audacious and demure. East (coast) meets west (coast). Godzilla, King Kong; BFF. Barbara. Russ. Daughters. Roxy. Nowhere except for here. Go.
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
This place is amazing! Beautifully decorated, well lit, and thoughtfully provisioned throughout. It's more spacious than it looks in the photos. There are large closets with lots of hangers (also terry cloth spa robes) and plenty of drawer space in both bedrooms, also plenty of storage space in the bathroom, with good towel bars and hooks as well. Everything appears to be brand new, high quality materials, furnishings, linens, etc. Sue thoughtfully provided not only coffee and tea but also a few days' worth of milk, eggs, whole wheat English muffins, oatmeal, cold cereal, fresh bananas, apples and mandarins, chocolate bars, some salty snacks -- all sorts of treats! She similarly provided a wide array of toiletries in the bathroom. Beds were very comfortable -- we appreciated the extra pillows of differing firmness. Neighborhood is leafy and quiet, yet with some fun restaurants an easy walk nearby.

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!
This is the kind of place that makes you want to go back! I stayed here with my two young boys for a couple days while visiting the Redwoods. The house is just as described - cozy and charming. This place is especially perfect for families with little ones. My boys had so much fun exploring the art room, feeding the banana slugs, and playing with the wooden train set in the playroom. Kristy was very communicative and helpful in offering tips for exploring the area. Highly recommend this spot to anybody looking for an awesome spot to call home.

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.

Clean, Private and Safe San Francisco Apartment
Terrific stay in a great neighborhood with wonderful hosts. I was in SF with my dog Coda producing an event and needed a home base walking distance from work yet a little removed from the fray. Andrew and Irene were super helpful and their place is very well located in a clean, safe neighborhood a few steps from the Presidio or Marina. I also had a car with me and it took a bit to get used to the parallel parking on hills, but Andrew gave great advice on that. I would highly recommend their place to anybody looking for an SF trip in a locals’ neighborhood that’s still very close to everything. Thanks guys! Alex

Beautiful Home. Gorgeous Views. Five Bedrooms.
We really enjoyed our stay in Bill's spacious and well equipped home in the Oakland hills. It felt very private and remote, which beautiful gardens and views of the bay, yet we were only a 8 minute drive to groceries, restaurants, gas, pharmacy, etc. Bill was responsive and greatly helped us out with an early check in. We would definitely come back!

Higher Standard, Ocean bay breeze
Nice home, just as advertised. Excellent responsive host. Highly recommended!

(476) Bright Modern 2BR House
This is a five star stay. But I am going to start with a couple of caveats so we can get to the good stuff. If, like me, you are terrible at parking a vehicle you're going to find the garage a challenge. As the property owners will note you cannot park in the driveway, so your options are either street parking or angling your vehicle into a two car garage with a load bearing pillar right in the middle. I say angling because there is no easy way to back into this garage. Or pull in forward. The steps are steep and slippery in the rain. Consider the size and weight of your luggage before reserving this space as it is a second floor entry. You will get more noise from airplanes than the road. Aside from that, it's a great, clean, comfortable, airy bright space in a great neighborhood in a great town. The owners are great; responsive, considerate and proactively communicative. Check out asks are minimal and the wifi and hot water are excellent. I highly recommend.

High end home in Silicon Valley, Non-Smokers only
Always a favorite spot for us! We especially appreciate to ability to easily get anywhere in the South Bay Area. Highways 85 and 280 are close by as well as the San Jose airport. The place was super quiet, as always, and very private. We'll be back for our next visit! Thank you.

2 BR/3 BD/full BT, whole suite, parking, near SFO
We really enjoyed staying with Sean! The airbnb itself was very peaceful and clean. Sean even stocked our fridge with some refreshments which was very kind. He was great at responding if we had any questions or concerns. The area was great for going on walks and is nearby to many restaurants. Would stay here again!

Lovely 3 Bedroom house in SFO/Bay Area Wi-Fi A/C
great place ! Loved the location

4 Bedroom house-No partying/smoking!
Sharon was a very accommodating and kind host. My team felt right at home in her space and the neighborhood was beautiful, safe and comfortable. The apartment is fully equipped, very clean and homey. Highly recommended, thanks again!

Spacious 4BR Flat in San Francisco
This place worked out great for us. I like to be a little outside the hustle and bustle when traveling, and this area is great because it is quiet and close to the beach, but still with excellent coffee (loved a latte from Andytown around the corner each morning), cafes (the musubi a few blocks away at Avenues was sooo good), and easy Uber or bus rides to downtown areas. As others have noted, it’s good to be aware that the back bedroom is only accessed through the other bedrooms and that there is a smell of smoke, mostly in the hallway. We went into the booking knowing these things, so everything met our expectations and we were very comfortable here. It was nice for our group of 4 to be able to spread out and the kitchen had everything we needed to make some meals at home. Thanks for offering this place and making everything seamless, Vladimir.
