Family-friendly vacation rentals in San Jose

A recent stay at Robert’s home in Ben Lomond was exceptional. The property felt like home from the pictures on the wall to the books in the bookcase. The fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and toiletries was like walking into our personal family vacation home with everything clean and organized. Upon our arrival, we contacted the owner to let them know we arrived. We enjoyed a welcoming orientation of the property. The location was ideal with convenient access to stores and restaurants. We could not have selected a better place to enjoy quality family time and celebrate a graduation from UC Santa Cruz. This was a super stay and gets our highest recommendation.

simply Laura's family are so wonderful hostess, beautiful persons and the house is very nice place, peaceful, beautiful and for my wife and I will be thinking to return again soon.

If you have a chance to book one of Jenny's properties, I would encourage you to do so. Of all the hosts we have encountered, she is the best. The suite was spotless and thoughtfully appointed with everything someone could want during their stay. The grounds of her home were just beautiful, a welcomed retreat from the outside world. In addition, Jenny was an incredibly resposive host. She provided great recommendation and suggestions for our visit. She was also incredibly kind to my daughter. Thank you Jenny for your warmth in welcoming is to your home.

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.

Amazing property & setting, absolutely loved the pool, sport court, etc. Hosts were communicative & easy, will certainly be back for another warm-weather escape.

Thank you so much Rhea for allowing my family to enjoy this gem! The reviews spoke about the views but wow, incredible! You can literally see up the coast line on both sides. The condo was clean, had enough to accommodate a family of five! We were able to cook our meals every night without a problem. The pool is just a few steps up which my youngest definitely appreciated. We are already missing waking up to the sounds of the ocean! If we’re ever in the area we would be so lucky to book this place again.

I don't even know where to start. The condo is absolutely beautiful. The views were literally breathtaking. The pictures of this place were beautiful but seeing it in person was paradise on earth. You have a panoramic view of the ocean that runs the entire length of the condo. Absolutely gorgeous. Theresa was kind and very helpful with everything. The place was spotless and had everything you could possibly need. I can't say enough good things about this place. My mom and I loved every minute of our stay. I can't wait until I get to go back. Thank you Theresa. My mom and I had the best time. I forgot to add that we really saw whales from living room!!!!!

During my stay at Joann’s place, I felt safe and very comfortable. The whole home is bright and spotlessly clean, with greenery visible outside the windows. Parking was very convenient, and communication with her was smooth throughout. The kitchen was fully equipped, allowing me to cook and enjoy a good glass of red wine. The sofa was cozy and the bed was spacious. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a wonderful place—thank you!

It was absolutely wonderful - everything you could ever want. The host couldn’t have been nicer, more welcoming, or more helpful. A truly great experience - so much so that we extended our trip and now know exactly where we’ll want to stay when we’re back in the area.

Imelda was a lovely host. I felt very welcome & when I needed something she (and her husband) were very helpful. The space is private and quiet yet just a quick (and peaceful) walk to downtown Campbell. Really enjoyed my stay.

Five stars all around. This was my wife and I's second time staying at Mai's place (the first time being one year ago on our honeymoon!). We love SF, and Mai's place is the perfect respite from the city while remaining relatively close to most areas of interest. Mai is so kind and accommodating, and her place surely does feel like home! We look forward to staying here again and again in the future.

Loan’s spot was the perfect place for me to work remotely while visiting family in San Jose. The hosts were very welcoming and we felt right at home. The location is great and we would definitely stay here again on a future trip.

Our stay was wonderful. Our two girls especially did not want to leave. Everything was so comfortable and clean, we loved the toys and books, and the projector set up. The architecture and remodeling was beautiful. Appreciate the lack of tacky artwork on the walls. Tracie and Dave were such generous hosts. Hope to be back, thank you!

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that every detail had been carefully considered—not just for comfort, but for an experience beyond luxury. El Nido is more than a place to rest; it is a sanctuary that welcomes weary travelers with warmth, thoughtfulness, and an embrace of nature’s beauty. The touches throughout the space elevated our stay in ways both subtle and profound—plush bedding that felt like a cloud after long days exploring, lighting that set the perfect mood and amenities that anticipated every need before we even knew we had them. It was effortless to settle in, knowing this wasn’t just a place to sleep, but a place to truly restore.

Our stay at Angels place was phenomenal, it was exactly what I was expecting. Being able to wake up to the beautiful view was like a dream. Everything from the communication, the instructions, the overall check in. The tram was a huge help being the stair case was being repaired upon our arrival and during our stay. The tram would have been our choice of preference either way. My wife and I are definitely going to be coming back. Both her and I enjoyed every moment being there and just want to say thank you Angel for allowing us to be able to enjoy our anniversary in your home. We now have a home away from home!

John’s place was very comfortable and welcoming. The house is located in a safe neighborhood that boasts pride of ownership as evidenced by well maintained front flower gardens. We enjoyed peaceful morning walks to take in all beautiful blooms. Downtown Willow Glen is a short, 10-min walk away and offers many dining options from cozy cafes, gourmet delis, and a few finer dining options. We enjoyed morning sunshine from the outdoor patio space that got great morning sun. We would definitely recommend this place to other travelers.

Yuhui's place was exactly as it was described - small, peaceful and comfortable. The unit does share a wall with the garage and/or laundry room so there is a bit of noise if anyone is coming/going through the garage or doing laundry, but it was very minimal noise. While there is only a microwave, mini fridge and Nespresso machine, Yuhui provides a thoughtful selection of glasses, plates and cutlery so you have everything you need for take-out!

Sean & Jen’s listing is what AirBnB is all about. A lovely , tranquil and elegant space built probably for themselves and being shared to fellow guests. Great amenities and well setup. The creek is magical . We enjoyed our stay and hope to return .

Felt like it was just lke my home accept they have a hot tub that I used almost every night during my stay also had a beautiful garden. Is very quiet and relaxing.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Rick and Heather’s place at woodside. The place is quite spacious and quiet. It is just as described and there were no surprises . If you are looking for a peaceful mountain getaway that is within 30 min ride to Palo Alto, look no further. Things to keep in mind (these are clearly described in listing) are: 1. lack of a true kitchen despite having microwave, toaster oven and a hot plate. I do not recommend any cooking here however since there is no real place to wash dishes or drain etc. 2. The owners live there and although u get plenty of privacy you may run into to them occasionally. If this is not your thing, I recommend you find a different place.

This is the 3rd time I've had the pleasure of staying at this unit and it never disappoints. It is comfortable, roomy, and just perfect for my short business trips. They communicate well and are available to help if needed. I hope to come back!

Will and Jane were excellent hosts. The back house is light filled and spotless. It’s comfortable and well organized. It was peaceful, tucked away in a garden! I loved feeding the fish. Both Will and Jane were responsive and offered a great recommendation. I know I’ll stay here every time I come to San Francisco!

My family and I spent Christmas and New Year's at Justin's place, enjoying his beautiful decorated tree, thoughtful gifts, and delicious cake from a well known bakery and the stunning views of the mountains and city lights, including a firework show from the city. Justin‘s house is just big enough that we all have our own personal space but cozy enough that as a family we were all together.

It was our second time staying at Chris and Terra's accommodation, and we would definitely come back. It's small but nice, with everything you need.
