Apartment with an ocean view
Clean place in a great area. Kitchen was definitely a nice feature that we very much enjoyed. There’s a beach in walking distance. The whole place is cozy and homey. Cons: coffee maker wasn’t clean, expired food was left behind, the beds were bunk beds, which wasn’t preferred. Overall, it was a positive experience and was very comfortable for 3 nights

Stylish 1bed/1bath apartment in prime location
The stay was very peaceful and worth every penny. There was lots to do around the area and the place felt like home. The host are very nice and responsive. I look forwards to staying there again when I go back to 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.

BBQ Grill | Firepit | Free parking |Multizone A/C
It’s a nice place. Looks newly renovated. Nice shoe storage, patio with furniture to sit. Pool view. Laura has stocked most of the things needed. Spices, enough dishwasher pods, laundry detergen etc.. Pots and pans looked little old. Check-in is very easy and the auto lock works really well. One assigned car parking was given. Not easy to get a parking spot on street. A nice stay overall. Felt like home..

180° Oceanview Condo-Surfboards-Bikes
I highly recommend staying here. Its absolutely beautiful. Perfect location right across the street from Capitila Beach, Margaritaville, Zeldas and many more restaurants and shops. The studio is clean and very comfortable. Trust me you'll love this place! Thanks Evan

Modern Oceanview 2-Bed Apartment Home
My friend and I had a very nice stay. Everything was just as described and pictured. It was quiet, comfortable, and walking distance to a great coffee shop, restaurants, and most importantly, the ocean. (Plus, a lovely view of the ocean.) Petko was easy to communicate with too.

Luxury Top Floor Apartment
Beautiful place. It was like staying at a high end hotel with extremely prestige facilities. The gym was first class and the pool AMAZING. Greatly enjoyed going to the gym and swimming in the pool every day. It was like having a private pool as NOBODY uses it. I would definitely stay in this place again.

Adorable 2 bed/1 bath West Side Santa Cruz home
Cute spot, well furnished with beach accessories, books, and games. The neighborhood was safe and close to all the attractions

Oceanfront Home in Pacifica, CA
We booked this place last minute to stay just outside the city and it was the best location yet. The place was amazing with incredible views and perfect for our small family. Looking forward to staying here again.

Hot Tub Overlooking Pacific!
Such a nice, secluded hideaway! The view was as amazing as it was peaceful. My family had a great time.

Sunshine Studio (free parking/self checkin)
Sunny’s Airbnb was fantastic! The space was bright, clean, and beautifully decorated, with all the amenities I needed for a comfortable stay. Sunny was a thoughtful and responsive host, making sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again!

cozy one bedroom house
I loved my long term stay here! This airbnb is well equipped with every amenity, it is spacious, it's in a nice area of south san jose, parking is provided, and on top of it all the hosts are fantastic. The hosts went out of their way to make accommodations for the stay and even helped when I was stuck without a car - I highly recommend the stay!

5B/3b House High Ceiling w/ Office&Baby Loft Room
Jilayi is a wonderful host with a beautiful house. Every decor choice within the house feels very thoughtful and it definitely added to the overall ambiance of the house and made the stay pleasant. We had everything we needed and instructions to check were super easy to follow. Love how accommodating the host was of our every need. The beds too were very comfortable and bathrooms spotless. The high ceiling of the house makes the home feel very roomy and not too congested like some airbnbs we have been to before. 5 stars from our side

JTown Whole House w/bkyard -1500sq ft/2 Level
Jennifer and co were lovely hosts! We had a last minute reservation that they were able to accommodate. Check-in was easy and they were very communicative throughout our stay as well. The house is in a very walkable area of San Jose. It felt safe to walk, even at night. Even though you’re nearby the downtown area the home itself felt like a private oasis. It was both spacious and cozy and there was plenty of room for both of us to work from home and have our two dogs. We stayed for a few weeks and they’ve done an excellent job at anticipating all the things you might need for an extended stay - especially with a well stocked kitchen. The pictures give an accurate representation of the place with the living area downstairs and the bedrooms upstairs. Overall, the bathroom and kitchen are nicely updated and the decor and furnishings give it that additional modern touch. Highly recommend stay and hope to be back!

Cozy townhouse
Great place to stay, nice and quite but still close to shops and restaurants

Molivu Homes 3BR | NewlyRemodel | King Beds | Yard

Our 5 day stay was great. Felt right at home. Great location w an amazing view. Place was nice and clean. We found beach gear as well that’s provided by the host.

Your Oasis Awaits - Downtown PA, Stanford 657
This place is awesome! Got it for my visiting family - super close to my place. Very convenient & clean! The hosts are so responsive & warm. I’ll surely be renting it again!

Luxury Garden View - Relax and Unwind - Seascape
We can hardly wait to come back! What's not to love! Absolutely beautifully decorated. Huge screen TV, hot water on demand, 2 refrigerators... one with freezer, fireplace, beach towels, outdoor deck with ocean glimpses, wagon to bring our luggage/stuff to room via elevator, rainfall shower head, bath room magnifying mirror, super comfortable king bed and sooo much more. those were our favorite amenities in the condo. If you have kids there are so many games in the room along with children's plates and bowls that were so cute. the location of the condo was absolutely perfect for us. two adults who wanted to leisurely get up and have coffee and breakfast in the condo. no cooking, thank you with a restaurant steps away literally, Sanderlings at the resort. It was so nice to head out in the morning for long ocean walks and then return for a light lunch at Sanderlings with its beautiful ocean view patio. David is incredible! Truly one of the best hosts ever! Thank you, David!!!

Stylish Santana Row Condo
The place and location was great, great, well-lit apartment with an eclectic, unusual decor, we really enjoyed our stay

Charming 2 bedroom 2 story condo
