Vacation rentals with a fireplace in San Carlos

The place was a described and shown in the pictures. Host was kind enough to call and walk us through details and make sure to give us information we needed.

Robert is always such a great host! Responsive and the place is great!

We loved our stay! The location was ideal for us, just a few minutes from a beautiful redwoods park and a short drive to the coast. This part of California is tucked away from the busy crowds of the Bay Area and feels remote. The Loma Mar outpost offers basic provisions and a restaurant a few minutes from the house, and Pescadero has a strip of shops and restaurants about ten minutes away. The house is lovely and comfortable, very peaceful.

Flew to Atherton from Hawaii-my daughter graduated from Menlo College. Ernesto and Judy home was perfect for us. It was close to college campus. We had a total of 9 that flew in to celebrate. The home was spacious, clean, and fit our needs. They communicated well and responded quick. I would recommend this home and I would rent with Ernesto and Judy again!

I only wish I could give more than five stars. Words can’t begin to describe our host. Without exception. Forever grateful for the superior level of kindness and hospitality. Thank you Michelle and Ryan.

Iconic view!!!!

We stayed at Duke's place for 12 days in May 2025, having travelled over from the UK for my son's graduation. We had been slightly concerned about the location, since it is on the main Menlo / Stanford Road, but we needn't have worried. The property has very effective glazing and is a little oasis, beautifully appointed with two comfortable bedrooms, two great bathrooms and (effectively) two sitting areas, both with large screen TVs. We had everything we needed while we were there, and it was spotless when we arrived, with provisions like tea and coffee provided. There was some building work next door (this is nearly complete), but this was never intrusive and it never detracted from our enjoyment of the pretty courtyard garden, which is a real suntrap and ideal for relaxing after a long day. The property is conveniently located for local amenities and restaurants (either walking or a short drive), and is a good hub to travel from either by car or by train. Would definitely stay again.

We loved the place! It was clean and easy to get in and out. It felt very private and instructions were clear. Soft beds and pillows, great shower. My only confusion was we thought the downstairs bedroom was included but it appeared to be locked. A Pack-N-Play was provided, but wasn't listed in the amenities so we wish we had known because we'd already flown to the Bay Area with ours.

Very friendly and helpful hosts! Beautiful view and deck, quiet neighborhood.

We had a fantastic stay at Anna’s place. The location is unbeatable—right at Stanford’s doorstep and just a short walk from the field where I could go for a run. The apartment is spacious and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay. The furnishings are high-quality and thoughtfully chosen; I especially appreciated the soft cotton sheets, the comfortable bed, and the spacious deck for enjoying the outdoors. Anna was a wonderful host—responsive, helpful, and kind. This place is truly a gem!

Yeshi's home is a museum of colorful artwork from her travels around the world. Wonderful to be lulled to sleep by the ocean waves.

Very grateful I found this place, Michael was extremely responsive. The place had a really nice loft and bedroom. The location is perfect to walk around and explore Alameda, one of my favorite places in the Bay Area.

We loved our stay at Jan’s place in Berkeley. The space was great for our trip. We absolutely loved the deck and hot-tub. We spent most evenings sitting out there for hours! You also can’t beat the views of the bay! Overall, such a wonderful stay, we would for sure go back and recommend to all our friends and family.

Beautiful place in a perfect location especially great during the summer. My family of four stayed there quite easily and the kitchenette was a pleasant surprise. We could actually get a number of meals cooked in there. There is a little bit of a sound proofing issue so make sure to be on the quieter side but probably the best deal in SF for summer!

A beautiful spacious listing. We so appreciated Heidi's extra touches of beautiful flowers and other thoughtful touches. It was a wonderful stay.

Great location. Easy walk to Whole Foods, Safeway and several restaurants and coffee shops. Close to Muir Woods, and Tamalpais State Park and easy drive to San Francisco. Multiple hikes are close by. The place is clean and comfortable. I would recommend Dawn’s place for a couple or individual, it would be tight for any more.

We enjoyed our Father's Day Getaway Weekend. Amazing and responsive Hosts! An appliance issue did come up during our stay, but they were quick to get the problem resolved and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of Thank You so Much

Beautiful neighborhood. Many walkable trails and parks with access to the Bay Trail. House is large and comfortable (great beds) and spotlessly clean. Large private backyard and very close to the tennis/pickle ball courts and pool. Only complaint is that the kitchen was not well stocked for our two week stay. We needed to borrow cooking implements and equipment from our son who lives in the area. But overall, a wonderful property and would not hesitate to return.

Sang’s home was beautiful, clean, and incredibly spacious — perfect for our group getaway. The house was well-stocked, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun stay. We cooked, enjoyed time out on the boat, and had such a great time as a family. Communication was clear and helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful and enjoyable escape in Discovery Bay!

Great home with gorgeous views of the redwoods!! We were all confused as to why there was no dish soap or trash bags to use, but it had everything else!!

The house, especially the backyard, and the neighborhood in which it is situated, are stunningly beautiful. While guests do not have access to the master bedroom, the price for the rest of the house is well worth it.

This was a great escape in Oakland! Every guest had their own bathroom and the kitchen/living room space was so spacious.

The best part of this place was the room in the back. It really was like an Executive Director suite. So of course my ED took advantage and took the room for himself. lol. We appreciate the extra blankets and we each had our own room.

Can't wait to go back, even though we live in the same town! We had to find a place quickly because we had some damage at our home and Laurie and Bradley were so accommodating and flexible. The property is gorgeous! And I can't say enough about the showers. Every piece of furniture was so comfortable, including the beds (and I am very picky when it comes to beds). The view was spectacular. Besides the incredible amenities, Laurie and Bradley were such incredible hosts and were very easy to reach and super responsive to the many requests we had to extend our stay. I highly recommend their house.
