Guesthouse vacation rentals in San Carlos

This beautiful Oakland Oasis was better than I imagined it would be! This place exceeded my expectations! Coming through the gate the first night, to a path of twinkling lights leading us to our adorable cabin took my breath away! It was the perfect location for peace and quiet right in the middle of Oakland. My only regret is that I didn’t spend more time on the property. We flew in from out of state to visit friends and spent a lot of time out and about. I definitely want to come back to spend more time hanging out in the backyard with the goats and chickens. My 13-year-old loved the backyard, the trampoline and the animals. The location was very walkable and within several blocks of many restaurants and shops. We rented a car and street parking was easily accessible. Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park was only an 8 minute drive away and we spent most mornings walking through the mountains enjoying the beautiful trees and views of San Francisco. Highly recommend this listing!

Very friendly and proactive host. Praceful and quiet location. Several pieces of lovely fruit were provided, as well as flavored sparkling water, milk, and granola/muesli, which was really convenient. Showerhead can be adjusted for angle and whether you want a straighter stream straight down, or a wider spray. I appreciated that there was a screen on the window so it was easy to get fresh air when I wanted while keeping bugs out. I suggest trying to time your arrival the first day during daylight hours, as that will make it easier to see the signs, especially when Google Maps is off by a few yards in terms of where it tells you to turn.

The lodging is in the back, in a garden and near the swimming pool and tennis court. The backdrop is beautiful, and the host and hostess were friendly and accommodating. There is privacy and the area offers much in terms of restaurants and shopping. The internet is broadband, so one can work in the lodging. Amy and Lou are wonderful people----worthy of friendship in any circumstance.

This was an EXCELLENT Airbnb. Great value, beautiful property, plenty of privacy, exceptionally good instructions form the hosts. I can not recommend highly enough. Great place to recharge.

This was a perfect place to decompress during a busy work trip. The space is beautiful, and the attached gym is such a nice treat! Everything was exactly as described, clean and lovely. I would definitely stay again!

Had an absolutely lovely stay at Rezan’s place. She was the utmost in hospitableness and thoughtfulness The property is absolutely gorgeous, filled with birds and trees and flowers and the sound of frogs, statuary, walking paths, places to sit and enjoy the environment, a little pond with fountain, and just minutes to downtown Los Gatos. I had the best stay.

Ray’s place is like a home away from home tor us and we appreciate especially his accommodating change that arose this trip - quiet house, convenient location, and everything we needed.

Kate’s place was great for our family of four while we visited San Francisco. The immediate area was clean and felt safe, and a variety of food and shops were within walkable distances. Access to the Caltrain was also close by. As for the house, it had everything our family needed but may be a bit tight for groups larger than 4, especially if they are all adults. Amenities were as listed and made the stay comfortable. Kate and Toni were responsive very quickly and helped us with everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Super cute place! Our kids loved the ducks and horses across the street. They couldn’t wait to explore! The house is very well stocked- games, kids toys, cookware, laundry soap… everything you can think of! We had a really great time, and it’s such a unique place to get to stay!

The host had a beautiful place and was quick to answer any questions we had. Would recommend to anyone staying in the San Jose area.

Cozy apartment with immaculate and comfortable living space--perfect for a couple. Bonus is the beautifully landscaped enclosed backyard space with a courtyard in front of the apartment. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped and fully functional. Short walk to local restaurants and shopping. Mary Lee was a friendly, flexible and responsive host, who even before we booked went out of her way to clock the distance between the apartment and our son's home which was much appreciated. Great place, great host, great experience--highly recommend!.

Marilynn has been great and very responsive when we have stayed there. The place is well-stocked and maintained, and San Carlos is a friendly town with good restaurants and boutique shopping.

This place was so beautiful, the pictures didn’t do it justice. Perfect location close enough to restaurants, and lil shops!! Just away enough out of the city, but not to far out. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a nice cozy easy place to get to. Also my wife’s 50th birthday and I asked him to do something special for her birthday and he put out a birthday banner and a bottle of champagne!!

This is my 3rd or 4th time staying at Pedram's place and every time is perfect. Pedram is super easy to communicate with and responsive. The place is exactly what I want and has excellent appliances and layout.

We felt right at home in this cozy Air bnb. The garden areas surrounding the property are beautiful. We had everything we needed and more in the kitchen where we made breakfast every morning. Lots of cookware and cabinet full of spices. Super clean. Bed was comfortable. Walking distance to downtown San Carlos was about 23 minutes. The host checked in regularly with us online and we appreciated the attention. Was sad to leave when our time was up. We hope to return as we have family in the area.

Caroline is kind, helpful and responsive. She made great recommendations. Her property is beautiful, clean and peaceful. It was perfect for what I needed, and we will be returning in the near future. She also went above and beyond after I accidentally left one of my belongings.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The space was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It had everything we needed for a relaxing and enjoyable visit. Christina and her family were extremely kind and helpful, check-in was seamless and communication was easy. We’d happily stay here again and would definitely recommend it to others! Thank you for having us!

My grandpa and grandma stayed here and they said this was the best bead and breakfast they have experienced in their life. huge thanks to Silvia for being responsive and making my grandparents feel at home!

Helen's place is roomy with a well-equipped kitchen and a nice bathroom. The dishwasher and washer/dryer provided added convenience. The location is just off busy Woodside Road with a Safeway market about 5 minutes away on foot.

Highly recommend. Central to the Bay Area and major freeways. Clean and quiet. Easy access and private parking. Everything was perfect. This is my second time staying and will be staying again! Thank you!!

Amazing stay at this cozy cabin by the sea. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony and listening to the sound of waves. The place is incredibly well-stocked with everything we needed — from kitchen supplies to dog blankets and groceries. Thank you!

Our stay was excellent. The place was very clean and well-maintained. Communication with the host was quick, and they were always available for any questions or recommendations. I would definitely recommend this place to other travelers and would stay here again in the future.

Very nice to find a affordable place to stay With my schnauzer Winston. He is a low impact dog (doesn't shed, well behaved), but most charge more regardless. The local area has lots of places open late, which turned out a boon for me as I work as a stage manager and get home after 10p. Many thanks Margret and David!

A group of us stayed here for a wedding and it was an amazing house. Highly recommended!
