Family-friendly vacation rentals in Santa Clara

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.

⸻ I had such a wonderful two-week stay at the farm. From the moment I arrived, everyone was incredibly friendly—especially the sweet little black cat named Teva, who wore a green collar and quickly became a favorite companion. Toni was so kind and responsive, always making sure everything was just right. The farm felt very safe and peaceful throughout my stay. Being in a cabin on a farm, a few bugs are to be expected, but it wasn’t an issue—I came prepared with essential oils, which worked well to keep them at bay. The cabin itself is cozy and compact, but the many windows let in so much natural light that it felt bright and open. The shower was great too—good water pressure and ventilation, though it might be a bit snug for some. Overall, it’s a lovely little escape—close enough to San Jose for convenience, but with a feeling of peaceful seclusion that makes it feel like a true retreat.

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.

Very thankful for this quaint experience! The kids loved the toys and the very kind neighbor helped make sure we had chargers for all the electric toys.

My team had a wonderful time at Stefan's place! The ocean views are magical and the house is very spacious. Incredible spot about an hour away from SF and Palo Alto. Stefan was very communicative and friendly. Check-in and check-out were simple. Very clear house rules. No complaints at all! We will definitely be back.

Tina's place was perfect for our family of 4! we enjoyed our stay and would most definitely stay again. Tina was very responsive and kind. she even gifted us some beautiful lemons!

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.

Quiet apartment spacious enough for a family of five with three teenagers. Easy to get in and out and convenient parking. The apartment was fully stocked with everything you need. Kim was very responsive and easy to communicate with. Santana Row was decorated beautifully for the holidays, which made a lovely extended stay. Thank you Kim.

Great clean place, friendly communication, easy to access. Safe and quiet neighborhood.

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!

This is my favorite place to stay in the Palo Alto area - beautiful private location, well-stocked kitchen, and a comfortable living space - with laundry. Michel was great and we’ll definitely be back!

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 .

David’s place was well appointed, clean and thoughtfully furnished and organized. There were power strips with electrical outlets and USB ports wherever they might be needed — a nice touch. Coffee was plentiful and the kitchen well supplied. David and Goldie went out of their way to make us feel at home. We will definitely return.

Very cute and homey space, the beds were very comfortable. Thanks!

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!

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.

Richard’s house was very comfortable and clean. We appreciated all the fans, outlets, linens, and the spacious kitchen. We comfortably slept 5 without feeling crowded. Parking was super easy right in front. And best of all, the location was fabulous!! Many fun restaurants and shops just 2-3 blocks away.

We needed a quiet clean comfortable retreat during and after my difficult surgery. Location to Stanford Hospital excellent. House very calm quiet and healing- squeaky clean. Beds were like falling into clouds. So comfortable. Kitchen well equipped and amenities thoughtfully and generously available. The front porch and lovely private front yard were wonderful spots to sit when weather was nice. We can’t praise Maggie enough for her hosting. Responsive, kind, caring, flexible. First class all the way.

We really enjoyed our stay here. It was really clean, comfortable, and best of all very quiet. Also, the neighborhood is great. We would definitely stay here again if we were to visit the area another time.

Warm and welcoming. I arrived close to midnight, and she stayed up late to greet me. I loved her cozy home, especially the beautiful garden and her lovely dog. Everything was spotless, and it truly felt like home. When I left, she came to say goodbye, which made me feel like I was leaving an old friend. I will definitely return!”

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.

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.

Great location. Fairly clean and worth the money. Some spiders in the corner and the shower is slow to drain. Other than that, would book again!

My son and husband wanted to ride the Santa Cruz Flow Trail. Mark's place was the most convenient option by far! We enjoyed dinner and breakfast at the Summit Store that is close by and has a wide variety of prepared food options. For dinner and breakfast on the second day we enjoyed Capitola. If you love birds, you'll love this spot.
