Family-friendly vacation rentals in Pleasanton

Had a lovely stay at Annette and Fred’s place - the location was great, the house was fully stocked and the hosts were extremely responsive when we had questions. Having a hot tub and gas fireplaces were an added bonus for spending the evenings admiring the views.

Tranquility Base…surely lived up to its name. So comfortable, so charming we felt like a part of the forest. The whole place had so much personality we felt right at home Magical and enchanting getaway Highly recommended We’ll be back

We loved this home. The area was great and near everything and the street was nice and quiet for the area. The home was immaculate, the care to maintain this home is obvious! Next time we are in San Francisco, this will be our first choice for lodging.

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful garden, responsive host, ample street parking. Definitely worth the price. Plus there's a hot tub you can use after the end of a long day or before the start of one like how we used. MINUTES away from bars, restaurants, and shopping in Oakland. Great location. Thank you so much for the comfortable stay!

I'm tempted to only say horrible lies about this place, because I want to keep this gem all to myself. But I can't think of a single negative thing to say about this place. The location was gorgeous, the interior design was beautiful, and the hot tub in the middle of the redwoods was just the cherry on top.

My husband and I had a very peaceful and relaxing two weeks at Laura and Kiran's guest cottage in Kensington. The setting, a Eucalyptus grove in the hills above Berkeley, was idyllic. We loved the beautiful views and sunlight from the windows overlooking our private deck. The hot tub made the trip even more special, as did the exquisite textiles and artwork decorating the cottage. The wealth of travel books and histories of the Bay Area were a wonderful resource, as were our hosts, passionate fans of their long-time home. Highly recommend!

Danielle’s home was cozy and sweet. It was very clean and she responded quickly to our questions.

Don & Lori are such incredible hosts! Our trip ended up being shorter than anticipated, and I’d stay here again in a heartbeat. I was traveling with my dog & foster dog and the park across the street was so perfect! The neighborhood was so peaceful and walkable and we had such a peaceful night’s rest. The home felt like staying with a family member and had so many great touches of home and the hosts communication was exceptional. I arrived late in the dark & they put out a welcome sign for me so I knew I was in the right place. Highly recommend and will def stay here again when I come back for a longer workshop!

Was a great little place near downtown San Jose, just what we needed! Perfect little place for us just visiting for the weekend, had everything we needed, blankets linens, etc. I’ll definitely be staying there again!

A great space. Such a lovely renovated house. A great family friendly spot if you do not want the hustle and bustle of San Fran but close enough for a day trip to the main spots in the city. We loved heading back to the house after a day in San Fran.

This was, by far, one of the best Airbnb homes and stays we have been in. The home is spacious, functionally perfect and delightfully decorated. Each room is stocked with all the supplies you could possibly need and there is generosity in the unexpected bonuses - coffee powder and pods, as well as thoughtful snacks for the little ones in our family. The home is located in a quiet and beautiful residential area, and there is a grocery store and several great dining options within walking distance. The beds are very comfortable and there was not one thing in the bedrooms, bathrooms or kitchen that we felt was missing or of questionable quality. If we are ever in the greater SFO area again, we hope this home will be available for us to stay in. Thank you Nancy and Lance for an unforgettable and wonderful experience in the Half Moon Bay Area.

Guliz's beautiful, light filled purple cottage was absolutely perfect in every way; just lovely! The Coastal trail is a block away, leading over the bluffs to the stairs that take you to Poplar Beach in one direction and through the ancient Cypress tree tunnels to the reserve beyond. Guliz is a sweetheart, coming quickly to help with the fireplace settings when we struggled with the remote. We rented two of her properties to coordinate with friends who would have a shorter stay. Our three friends stayed here and will definitely consider returning for a longer stay.

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.

We had a wonderful week at this property. The home is beautifully situated with expansive views and a peaceful atmosphere that made for a very relaxing stay. Despite feeling tucked away, it was a quick and pleasant walk into town, where we enjoyed coffee shops, restaurants, and local spots. The house is well-appointed and comfortable, with particularly cozy beds. The driveway is steep, but we found it straightforward to navigate. Overall, this was a great base for our time in the area. Easy drives to Muir Woods, Point Reyes, and other local hiking options. We would gladly return on a future visit.

We had a lovely stay here while visiting family in Danville - the space is so relaxing and serene, the bed is super comfortable, everything was spotlessly clean, and the hosts are wonderful! The location is perfect, nestled in a beautiful, tree-lined neighborhood with easy access to the walking trail and only a few blocks from downtown Danville. We would definitely stay here again!

It was the perfect place for our family to gather over the holidays. Cozy but spacious with that back cottage providing a separate space for separate couple.

I had a magic few days at Lori and Mike's. I drive a VW passat and I found the drive up the mountain to be non-challenging and even very fun by the end. The hosts are cool and easy to get along with. A+ doggo. Hot tub was great. Pool was fun. I usually stay in SF when I'm in the Bay Area. This was much more lovely and relaxing, with SF close enough that going in for dinner or a show felt like it wasn't a big deal. 100% would recommend this place. I brought my cat and had my lady friend with me for a night. Everyone loved it.

This is the best Airbnb we have ever stayed in. It was super clean, had a bunch of awesome and thoughtful amenities. Amazing location and view as well. The absolute nicest and sweetest hosts ever! Highly recommend this place.

Nancy was the nicest and most accommodating host we’ve had at a rental so far. We arrived late one evening when I realized I misplaced the dinner I’d packed to eat when we arrived and when I asked Nancy (who was greeting us when we first arrived) about pizza delivery options, she offered us a nice frozen cornbread pizza to cook in the rental. My hungry young son was so relieved. The backyard overlooks an incredibly green and peaceful hillside and we had such a relaxing time. Also downtown Fairfax is so close by and so adorable. Would love to come back!

Jenny was a great host. Her place was very clean and had everything that one would need. We had an amazing time here.

The lodging is in the back, in a garden and near the swimming pool and tennis court. The backdrop is beautiful, and the host and hostess were friendly and accommodating. There is privacy and the area offers much in terms of restaurants and shopping. The internet is broadband, so one can work in the lodging. Amy and Lou are wonderful people----worthy of friendship in any circumstance.

Amazing place? Great heated pool, love the house has a lot of stuff and very well appointed and decorated. It has the best palm trees very safe, Our kid loved swimming in the pool. Strongly recommend for any stay! This is our second time here and will come again for sure. Love how the rooms are laid out, bathrooms.

We enjoyed a relaxing and very comfortable week at Polina’s. She made us feel welcome and at home. She even trimmed tree branches overhanging her driveway so we could easily park our van without scraping the top! The unit feels tropical, looking out on palm trees, the pool, and a banana tree. It was quite comfy for the two of us.

The location is beautiful, in the middle of nature, conveniently located to highway, stores, restaurants nearby towns and beaches. The guest house is cosy and clean. The host responsive and friendly. They left a clear binder. The garden, swimming pool, tennis court and mini golf all very family friendly :)
