Family-friendly vacation rentals in Los Gatos

We came here with our dog and had a great time! The place was comfortable, clean, and great backyard with a hot tub, just as advertised. Loved the neighborhood. It's super close the beach and within walking distance to a few really good places to eat. Shyamal was easy to communicate with and a great host. Instructions were very clear.

House was beautiful inside and out. Garden and back deck were great in the morning for breakfast. Quiet area. Beds were comfy and the place was clean, rooms were large. Thank you Sun for a great place.

Had a lovely stay at Annette and Fred’s place - the location was great, the house was fully stocked and the hosts were extremely responsive when we had questions. Having a hot tub and gas fireplaces were an added bonus for spending the evenings admiring the views.

Tranquility Base…surely lived up to its name. So comfortable, so charming we felt like a part of the forest. The whole place had so much personality we felt right at home Magical and enchanting getaway Highly recommended We’ll be back

What a GEM this house is!!! You will not be disappointed staying at Shari's home! From the great communication & responsive host ... to the welcoming cookies... to the private adorable backyard and extensive amenities ... it has it ALL! Great location all around and just a short walk to the beach too! We will definitely be back!

Felt like it was just lke my home accept they have a hot tub that I used almost every night during my stay also had a beautiful garden. Is very quiet and relaxing.

Joyce’s place was clean and had a really great location. We thought we were right on the Cliff so that was kind of a bummer to have a house in front of our ocean view. But the place was really nice, and very clean! The space was really cool and had great decoration. Beds were comfortable. Kids were happy. We loved playing in the hot tub and in the garden in the backyard.

4 couples stayed. Double bed cozy but no complaints. Comfortable, quiet, and well supplied. Master BR downstairs. Rest of living space upstairs. Ample space to park three cars and a fourth behind the others. Nice walking and running loops. We loved the beach access only 3 minutes away by car. Long Beach for walks and watching ocean and wildlife. Freeway was fairly close. Check out and check in was seamless. Definitely would rent again. Didn’t realize extra charge for over 6 people but less than $90.

Loved it here, only regret is not staying longer! Thanks for sharing this gem💞

Was a great little place near downtown San Jose, just what we needed! Perfect little place for us just visiting for the weekend, had everything we needed, blankets linens, etc. I’ll definitely be staying there again!

We had a great stay this past weekend. The house was nicely updated and wonderfully equipped for anything you might need for a beach vacation. It was very thoughtfully decorated and comfortable. They even provided dog bowls, treats and waste bags. The outdoor area had ample seating and was a great space for a dog sniffari and the humans to hang out. It’s a short walk to the beach and Harbor Cafe which has a great brunch menu. Would gladly stay here again.

Annie was a great host and the place was exactly as described and just what we needed for a relaxing beach getaway. We loved the hot tub in the backyard and the beach cottage feel of the place. Thank you for hosting us!

I had a most wonderful stay at this peaceful and lovely hideaway. The place was ideal and so convenient—to the beach, to Santa Cruz's sights, and walkable spaces—but as perfect as it was, Ron and Nikki were the perfect hosts. Helpful ahead of check-in, responsive and full of great suggestions once I was in, and when I needed to help out a relative, extremely understanding and accommodating. Can't wait to come back!

We enjoyed our stay at Guliz’s place. The house is as described. The house had plenty of towels and linens to stay warm, coffee, basic spices, etc. The layout was perfect for us and our in-laws. The fenced yard was great for our dogs and our toddler loved it too. We would definitely stay here again. It was walking distance to Poplar beach and close to stores and Lemos Farm.

A sweet house close to all the best of Santa Cruz! We were in town for a wedding and it was a perfect home base. We loved biking to Capitola and walking to get coffe and ice cream. The house was a nice size for two couples. The host was responsive and low key. We would definitely stay here again if we return.

Great beach location. Nice and quiet. Very nice space.

This was the most peaceful and beautiful space I have ever been to. The view from the balcony was gorgeous. All the greenery and the deers and random dog was super gorgeous and felt really at home. The hot tub was amazing and super relaxing. Robert was very kind and responsive, Received a phone call about all the lights, hot tub, close trails, and recommended spots!! Super helpful and very kind gesture. Would 100% go back to this place

We had a wonderful short getaway at Sue’s place! The condo is just steps from the beach, pool, and jacuzzi. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves was relaxing, and the ocean breeze was very refreshing. It was exactly what we needed to reset and recharge. Everything was just as described, and we would stay here again! Thank you, Sue!

Himani was super sweet! She made sure she was available when we arrived to give us the keys then gave us a run down of the place. My husband and I stayed with our friend and her fiancé so it was perfect as there were 2 private bedrooms, each with a private entrance outside. Each couple had our own half restroom and shared a shower, so if you don’t mind that, this place is perfect! Super close to Capitola and seascape resort where we attended a wedding.

Staying at Seascape was the perfect kid-friendly vacation. The pool was easy to access from our condo and the views were beautiful. The condo's set-up with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs and a half bath downstairs was great for our family of 5. The private beach was beautiful - we saw otters, whales, and my son found two perfect sand dollars walking down the beach. It was a little bit of a trek to get down to the beach with three little kids and all the beach gear, but once we were there no one wanted to leave. Several near-by restaurants were delicious, especially the newly opened Dos Pescados. It was fairly easy to get into Santa Cruz too, but we did have to time traffic or it would double the drive time (to almost 45 minutes).

Amazing property & setting, absolutely loved the pool, sport court, etc. Hosts were communicative & easy, will certainly be back for another warm-weather escape.

Great place! Short walk to the beach, walk to restaurants, updated bathrooms, floors etc, beautiful, modern decor, clean, dazzling ocean view from all the windows. Little touches of care, like sunscreen in the cabinet, ketchup in the fridge, and plenty of interesting books in the night stand, really put this place over the top! Will book again!

A very nice location with many super markets (whole food, Walmart etc.) nearby. The place is neat and clean with all the things you need. The host is very kind and responsive.

We enjoyed staying at Ivan’s apartment condo. Very convenient and easy to get to everywhere. Ivan is a great host and I would recommend staying at his place.
