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
It was a pleasure to stay in Victor & Erica's place. The space was thoughtfully decorated and appointed with our comfort in mind. In addition to the wonderful location and great communication, that alone was enough to set it apart from most of our previous travel experiences.

“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!

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!

Quiet 2BR in Heart of SF
This was a really good spot to stay in the city. You have your own private backyard and it's so peaceful. Even though you're in the middle of the city, it is super quiet. We had plenty of room and it's totally walkable to everything. Max was great and always available. I was worried about parking but the street offers a lot of options. I'll be visiting again for sure!!!
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
I absolutely loved Sue's quiet, adorable cottage in Oakland. It was everything I wanted and more. She adds special touches that are above the normal expectations. There were snacks for us upon arriving too tired to go to the store. The mattress was amazingly comfortable. All amenities you could possibly need in the bathroom and kitchen and all very clean. Thank you Sue for sharing your home with us.

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

Boutique Garden Apartment-Temescal
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.

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.
House rentals in San Jose

High end home in Silicon Valley, Non-Smokers only
Everything was comfortable and attractive but the kitchen stood out. It is well appointed for a couple who are used to cooking for themselves. The neighborhood was attractive and very quiet. Parking was never a problem. It is within walking distance of two grocery stores and an entire shopping center. The WiFi is great. This unit fit our needs very well.

2 BR/3 BD/full BT, whole suite, parking, near SFO
The stay met our expectations. Sean was very friendly, gave us a lot of tips and also provided drinks and snacks, which was a great gesture. The area is very quiet and well located. At no time did we feel unsafe and in particular the possibility of parking in the garage was very advantageous. Therefore, highly recommended for a short stay.

Spacious 4bd 4ba in the heart San Jose!
Great place.

Sunny Oakland Hills Home w/ views of SF & Oakland
Evita is a great host. We had an amazing time, this house is very well located and close to many places.

Lovely 3 Bedroom house in SFO/Bay Area Wi-Fi A/C
My family and I loved the house

4 Bedroom house-No partying/smoking!
Beautiful space. Perfect for a group. Had everything I needed for a one night stay.

Cole Valley Casa
Great layout. Our family of 4 and dogs were very comfortable here for 3 weeks when our kitchen was being remodeled. Backyard was great for kids and dogs. Neighborhood has everything you need within walking distance-coffee shops, restaurants etc. Very close to golden gate park for outdoor recreation.

Private Modern House: Stunning Views & Yard
My family & I had an awesome week in San Francisco at Adam’s place. The location is great, just steps away from Bernal Heights Park, where we were lucky enough to see a family of baby owls and crazy views of the city. The main road is 5 mins away and was filled with really cute shops & restaurants. The whole place is designed perfectly to feel like a private oasis in the city.
