Quiet Poolside Cottage for Solitude

HeatherRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Beautiful cottage and pool! Unfortunately, I had a pet emergency and was only able to stay one night, but I plan on returning and taking advantage of their gorgeous property. Marlene and her husband were very gracious and understanding of my situation, and I appreciated their concern for my beloved dog. Fantastic place, and highly recommended!

Gorgeous 3-bedroom home, quiet, close to shopping!

KatRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Nalin's home was spacious and comfortable for my family (5 adults) and 2 small dogs when we came to stay for my brother's graduation in mid-May. We asked Nalin if we could park a 5'x8' cargo U-Haul trailer and were able to park our truck with the trailer right in front of the house with no problem. Everyone had comfortable beds to sleep on, especially the pull-out couch that turned into a full/queen sized bed. We had a quiet neighborhood, so no unexpected party noises around us. Plenty of kitchen appliances and dinnerware to use for all of us, especially a water boiler for out tea and coffee! Mom loved the backyard area with the beautiful greenery and sitting area. I loved the shower pressure, although my dad mentioned the showerhead position was a little short for his height (I'm pretty petite and my dad is about 6'). Overall it was a great stay!

Cozy BUS on Farm Animal Rescue with CITY VIEW

JannieRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Matt’s ranch is peaceful, with stunning views and lots of sweet animals. It was perfect for my 4-year-old to run around, play with the friendly cats, touch horses, pet pigs and goats, and enjoy the swing under the tree—he had an amazing time! The bus is clean and well-equipped, and the space heater is a charming little stove that adds to the cozy vibe. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to make special memories at a unique ranch rescue.

Great place to stay and a great host! The tiny home provided incredible views and a comfortable stay with all amenities we needed. We were within an hour of many great places to see while there, including coastal access points and state parks. The host was responsive and helpful when we had questions.

82 “ Pool, Jacuzzi , HOT SAUNA, VIEWS, Newer ADU!

BrookeRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We loved our time here! Not only were Darren and Laura wonderful hosts and communicators, but the property genuinely exceeded our expectations, the Airbnb was MORE beautiful in person than in the photos (hard to believe, I know), and the location of the neighborhood was incredible — high up on a hill of a beautiful and safe neighborhood. 😍 Only recommendation for future guests — book one extra day!! There is so much to do and such little time! We would’ve loved to have one more day to enjoy the Airbnb a little more. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Rustic Cabin in the Redwoods

ElizabethRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Beautiful home! I recommend arriving when there’s sunlight to see the road clear, a lot of turns. The space is very comfy and spacious, the host were kind enough to leave some supplies in the kitchen to use! The surrounding area is very peaceful and quiet. Can’t wait to go back!

Greenwood Guest House, a Peaceful Oasis

BeckyRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My stay in Amy's home was relaxing, peaceful and comfortable. I loved the location - nested against the hills and so close to shops/restaurants. I loved walking the hills in the neighborhood and coming back to a quiet and comfortable space. You are in the backyard of the owners but they are friendly and respectful and the setting is idyllic.

BrentRating, 5 stars1 month ago
Staying at this Airbnb was truly the most amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The space was beautiful, clean, and had every little detail thoughtfully prepared. But what really made the stay unforgettable was Bella — she was the best host we’ve ever had! So welcoming, kind, and incredibly helpful with anything we needed, from local recommendations to making sure we were completely comfortable. You can really tell she cares about her guests having the best possible experience. I can’t recommend this place enough — we can’t wait to come back!

Fascinating 7bd/5ba home, Heart of Silicon Valley!

AngeloRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Michelle was the most responsive ans friendliest host I have ever stayed with. We even were flexible to work with trash and changing circumstances on the fly with grace and class. On top of that, local reccomendation and almost daily communication made me feel less like a guest and more like a family member. My only problem is I wish we had the oppurtunity to connect in person! Easily will be hoping I can book again here next year. Warm regards you are simply the best Michelle! - Angelo

Convenient & Peaceful Home:1BR 5mins to SJ Airport

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
This was our second time staying at this Airbnb and I still love it just as much! The decor and space is just perfection. It felt like a home away from home and had everything we could possibly need. The only thing I will say is the walls seem to be thin between units so we were able to hear everything going on in the other unit. I’m a heavy sleeper so I was able to sleep through it but it might be an issue for someone else.
