Cottage vacation rentals in Silicon Valley

This was our second stay here. Our daughter's family lives in the neighborhood and this is the perfect location for us to stay while visiting. It is quiet, comfortable and just what we need. The yard is very cute and we love to look at the animals with our grandchildren. We lucked out and saw the planets aligned from the driveway on the 25th, as it is dark enough to view the stars without city lights. Don and Lori are great hosts- there are treats and fresh eggs in the fridge, and everything we needed was right there. We will be back.

Really hard to describe how wonderful the whole back yard is. Sunset here were amazing. All kinds of wildlife. The smell of the California hills in springtime always refreshes. Dogs loved it (and couldn't quite believe it). We swung on the swing, sat in the gazebo, enjoyed basking in the balcony views.

Bolinas is a special, unique, off-beat slice of heaven. Same with Charle’s cottage. If you love authentic coastal vibes, then do yourself a favor and stay here if you can. It’s the real, real. Well loved and well worn cottage that works like a charm. Hot tub, walk to beach or the Mesa, or town. Little deck to enjoy the ocean view. Ditch the phone and the clock and tap into the rhythms of nature. Thank you for sharing your magical cottage, Chuck! 🙏

Artistic and quirky house. I loved it! You have to duck a lot, but it’s super cool. <5min walk to beach or downtown.

Mara is a great host, charming and thorough.........a great combination for us! Her detailed instructions and "hands-off" thereafter approach was perfect for us. The unit was just the right size for us and had everything we needed for our week plus stay. We hope to visit and stay again in the future as the location is perfect for us.

We loved staying at the Dipsea Cottage. It’s a beautiful, calming, and comfortable space. We really enjoyed being able to walk to the beach, restaurants, playground, and shops. We look forward to coming back here again!

We felt right at home; simply and amply appointed. It was surprisingly spacious for a one bedroom and easily accommodated four adults. The outdoor garden space was perfect for evening and morning relaxation. The sign of a GREAT host is how they handle an accidental (major) breakage. As guests, we were mortified. Diana was absolutely gracious. Thank you for your understanding, Diana.

Overall we had a good stay at Susan’s rental. She was very nice and communicative. It was very quiet and the bed was comfortable. Kitchen had everything we needed to cook a few meals. Large refrigerator. Regular drip coffee pot. Very close to downtown Mill Valley so you can walk into town easily. There seemed to be a few other renters on this property, and our rental was the very back unit. The walkway down the length of the front house was a bit tight, with 2 gates. It was farther than we expected to load/unload bags. Just a heads up - Parking was a bit tricky because this property is on the main avenue (Blithedale).

Stayed for the first time in Pescadero with the family. Steve's place was perfect - great location, well equipped, lots of space. Loved the views and accessibility to it all. Thanks, Steve, for sharing your wonderful place with us.

Gem of a beachhouse, on a quiet street, just a short walk from the beach. Clean, tastefully decorated cabin and loved the peaceful back garden and front patio to enjoy the sun as well.

It was a joy to retreat to this cottage after a very busy work event. Definitely worthy of its 5 star rating. The combo of the hilltop location and beautiful garden vegetation made for a quiet, beautiful, and serene experience. Highlights included reading outside in the yard, hiking without needing to drive, seeing hummingbirds, a comfy desk for letter writing, great indoor lighting for reading, a well equip kitchen, great local recommendations, and Minie being such a responsive host. We also enjoyed a nearby AirBnB Experience: Dye a scarf with California plants with Auli in case that sounds interesting to you too.

We had an awesome stay! The cabin is beautiful, with a perfect backyard for our pup to play while we enjoyed sitting around a fire. It’s the perfect little place to relax. Also, the host was very accommodating with our requests, which made our cross country road trip easy. Would recommend for sure!

Was a great place to stay for a few weeks. Clean, friendly, warm.

Great location, very walkable to the main area on Grand Ave and Lake Merritt. It’s a small space but had everything I needed as a solo traveler. Jintang has great communication and responds almost immediately to any questions. Everything from booking to check out was extremely easy and straightforward. Great place to stay, would definitely recommend booking with Jintang.

I literally couldn’t have asked for more. They were so responsive and helpful with anything we may need. I stayed here for a month for surgery and didn’t want to leave when the month was over. The tiny house was clean and exactly what I wanted and needed for my recovery. Close to everything I needed and wanted to get to. All the light and fresh air you can ask for. Recommendations for food and stores. Visits from their amazing dog!! I wouldn’t change a thing! What an amazing host, family, city, and tiny home. I will definitely be back.

One of my all-time favorite stays! Great property, host, and price! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful weekend getaway.

This spot is exactly why I love using Airbnb. The house is perfectly suited for two folks, nestled in a very well manicured backyard full of life. Tina & Lucky are wonderful. We loved meeting their lovely dog who searched around for intruders. If I’m ever back in Oakland I’ll be sure to stay here again.

My husband and I had a great time in Mill Valley. We were amazed at the location of this adorable cottage. It is walking distance to the library and to downtown MV, which had everything we could possibly need/want. Such an incredible community. Our host was helpful when we had questions and answered promptly. The cottage was cute, clean and cozy. Overall we loved our stay and would love to come back again someday!

This is a great place to stay in the bay! This reminds me of how are bnb was before it became really corporate. Her space was really charming and there were a lot of extras like food and blankets.

This was our second long-term stay (each stay being several weeks) at the Sunset Serene Cottage and we will definitely be coming back for more. Consider this as your home away from home. The location and the view cannot be beat. The house is perfect for us as a couple - bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bathroom have everything you need for a relaxing and convenient stay. It’s surrounded by so much nature, and it was wonderful to have a busy day and then come home to this oasis. Neighborhood is also very safe and we took many walks to enjoy the view of the Bay. We thank Albena and Nikolay for promptly responding to our queries and for generously accommodating our special requests. Already planning our next visit! 🌅🏡💕

We had a great stay! Communication with Marcy was super easy, she always responded quickly and helpfully. The location is absolutely the best in Walnut Creek: a peaceful and quiet neighborhood, yet very central with everything within walking distance. The guest house is lovely, clean, fresh, and nicely secluded on the property. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen had everything I needed. Highly recommended

Another great stay in this amazing cottage in Noe Valley! This is the place to truly relax and have time for yourself in between your busy SF travels! You are in the best neighborhood that is within walking distance to all Noe Valley and the Mission have to offer! Sebastian and his family have made an amazing space! This is the second of many more stays for me! Thank you!
