Entire Villa - Retreat - Refresh - Relax
everything was super nice, only thing was the charger didnt work which was very bummed out, but overall house is super spacious and nice, plenty of room for family and friends! mason was helpful & communicative!

Tropical Oasis, Downtown Palo Alto/Stanford 655
Clean and modern furniture. Fits the photos and descriptions. Enough space for a family of four. Large and fully equipped kitchen. The parking spot doesn’t fit an SUV so a little work to find parking and move the car for free parking.

Marina Bliss: Designer Suite, Waterfront, Private
Amazing stay! Extremely clean and comfy suite. Access to laundry and sink was super helpful. Bathroom came stocked with everything I needed, plus a heated toilet seat and bidet, which I appreciated. Owners were great hosts as well. Location was great. Just around the corner from the amazing waterfront with views of Golden Gate Bridge. Shops/restaurants on the bustling chestnut st just a few minutes walk

“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
The description Michelle has on the Airbnb site is spot on. It is cozy and comfortable. She provides everything you might need for your stay, especially if you decide to eat in at all. Neighborhood is quiet and quintessential San Francisco. The easy walk right into West Portal and onto a Muni train for public transportation makes it an even more convenient spot to stay at. (Not to mention the good spots to eat at in West Portal). I would most definitely rebook if I'm back in SF in the future.

Noe Valley entire guest suite overlooking downtown
Very comfortable apartment, Veronica was available and responded quick for all queries

2 bedrooms house with sauna
Peter's Airbnb was even more beautiful in person than on the listing! It has a very relaxing, cozy, and calming atmosphere with beautiful decorations. There are trails to walk around on the property that have beautiful views and beautiful plants. I had this Airbnb for a work-trip for only 3 nights, but wished I could've stayed much longer!
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.

Bicycle Shack @ La Honda Pottery
This cute little "shack" was very cozy and perfect for my solo retreat. The location is in a cute, peaceful little neighborhood in the woods. The unit is a compact space, but had everything I needed! The window looks out on beautiful trees and feels very peaceful. The mattress was on the firmer side, but comfortable. The space heater kept it very warm. I was able to park right out front. My pup and I felt very welcomed by Devora who was very friendly and who showed me around the property. Alice's Restaurant was a 10 minute drive and fun, dog-friendly place to have breakfast. A lovely little getaway! Thank you!

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
We really enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The backyard is peaceful and the grounds are really beautifully maintained. Cottage has everything you need, my girlfriend described it as “adorable”. Water pressure in the shower is eh but no issues with hot water. The snacks left were very thoughtful and much appreciated. Would stay here again.

Cozy cabin the Redwoods - Dogs Welcome!
Wonderful stay at an enchanting cabin in the redwoods. It's close to the town of Boulder Creek and a very comfortable stay. We will definitely be coming back.

G & M #1 Livermore Wine/ E-Bike Getaway (Pets ok)
Second time I have stayed here. Off-street parking spot is nice. Clean house and nice kitchen with a few farm fresh eggs from their chickens.
House rentals in San Jose

Summer-house/OASIS on quiet street in ROCKRIDGE!
Great old house, especially for families. It feels lived in by a family (and is decorated as such). That's great esp if you're traveling with your family; there's lots of useful things around the house and entertainments. Neighborhood is great as is the backyard!

Beautiful Home. Gorgeous Views. Five Bedrooms.
We stayed for a long weekend for a wedding with our big family. The place was great! Bedrooms are spacious, views and grounds are beautiful! We really enjoyed our time and would highly recommend! Thanks Bill!

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
Excellent place and great host !!

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

Modern 3 bedrooms 2 baths private flat on 2nd FL
Shaun's place was exceptional and fitted our needs perfectly. Appliances and bathrooms were the sort I wish I had at my house. Kitchen was fully furnished., even with snacks and coffee. It was quiet, secure and the private driveway much appreciated. Communication was within minutes even in the late evening. A gold standard against which all other B&B's might be measured. A short drive to Golden Gate Park and many other attractions. Beds and linens were also exceptionally good. Internet worked fine. A few stairs up but not bad.

Lovely 3 Bedroom house in SFO/Bay Area Wi-Fi A/C
Excellent experience! I rarely like staying at the same spot more than once. However, we will 100% look for this same listing again next time that our family is back in the bay area to visit our family. Great property!

Cole Valley Casa
Our stay at Caroline's place was wonderful. We have two kids so the private outdoor space was great. The location was wonderful with restaurants, cafes, bars, grocery, etc. Also walking distance to Golden Gate Park. I would definitely recommend.
