Family-friendly holiday rentals in San Mateo County

This house was amazing and super clean. The view was incredible. We very much enjoyed our family event of 3 days. I would highly recommend this place.

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.

Had a great and comfortable visit! Very quiet with a private entrance. Close to downtown in a great neighborhood. Friendly hosts. Definitely will stay here again in the future!

This place is beautiful, well-decorated, immaculate and perfect!! You can not find this kind of place anywhere else. We had a wedding venue and it was indeed walkable to the event venue and lots of restaurants. The area is very pretty and quiet. Nancy was very attentive, always responded within a few minutes and gave us her undivided attention. I highly recommend this place for you and your family if you are at Half Moon Bay!

We stayed at Sara's while visiting family nearby, but her home felt like a vacation in itself. The backyard is magical - we spent a fair amount of time there, swimming, grilling/dining, reading/napping. The backyard (and its myriad diversions) even lured our tech-obsessed teenagers away from their devices for extended periods. Everything was well maintained, no detail overlooked. We also enjoyed the access to a peloton bike and workout equipment. The interior was clean, organized, stylish but comfortable. The sunroom and small courtyard off of the bedrooms were great for yoga or stealing a quiet moment with a cup of coffee or book. Sara was responsive and attentive. Instruction booklet was clear and helpful. The stay exceeded our expectations. We hope to be back.

A lovely property to relax in and enjoy. Just what we needed after doing all the sightseeing in the first part of the holiday

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The place was exactly as described and shown in the pictures. The views, however, must be experienced firsthand. Definitely recommend!

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!

Tam's home was clean, convenient, and very nice. Our dog especially liked the multiple oversize dog beds around the house. We would happily return.

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.

We stayed at Alena and Sophia's place for our get-together. We love to cook, so the place is perfect for us since it has all the kitchen essentials we need. The place is so close to San Francisco. The house is so spacious. We recommend this place.

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!

My wife and I stayed with our toddler and my mom. It was plenty of room plus the king size bed was big enough for two adults and one kid. We loved the place and Mary Ann was very accommodating.

Great access to the beach. Such a cute house with pops of color. Comfy beds. Quiet and peaceful. Great washer with a 15 minute load option!

Beautiful space and definitely unique from other places I've stayed in. Would highly recommend.

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!

We hosted a small get together for my partner's birthday and this location was perfect! Everybody loved how many activities were available. The pool was great and the trampoline was a big hit. MaryAnn was a very responsive and gracious host.

Christine is a great host! Her descriptions and check in procedure work flawlessly and the apartment is perfect. For me the location was perfectly located between SF and Palo Alto, but if you need to be in SF frequently it may a little far off. The apartment community is great even with outdoor pool and gym I believe. Unfortunately I did not have the time to test it. There is a grocery store right next door which is very helpful. Highly recommended and would stay again!

Good and clean, great location. Unit A 1xx, faces the road and around mechanical rooms and hence noisy. The road may not affected me much, but the mechanical room right besides the condo was not good. Getting into the building the first time had issues since external keypad did not work for me. Some other neighbor let me in and then onwards it was good.

This place is a true gem! The expansive property is beautifully manicured, peaceful, and feels like a private oasis. We spent our days exploring the downtown, soaking in the hot tub, and enjoying the many well-kept outdoor spaces. Everything was immaculately maintained and thoughtfully designed for relaxation. Inside, the house was just as comfortable. The beds were so cozy! The kitchen has everything you need to make simple meals and there’s a BBQ by the pool. One thing that really stood out was the water. The house filtration system they have makes it taste incredibly clean and fresh—probably the best-tasting water we’ve ever had. The hosts were wonderful—friendly, welcoming, and really respectful of our privacy. We left feeling refreshed and already dreaming of our next stay. Highly, highly recommend!

We had a great time here. Agree with a lot of the other reviews. Super easy check in with door codes. Parking is $20 each 24 hours, I think first 2 hours are free. Easy electric charging with PowerFlex including what looked like fast chargers. The train blows its horn a little bit when coming by the apartment, but with our earplugs in at night we slept great. The Airbnb provides a pair of earplugs for free. The studio bedroom has sliding doors that were basically like blackout curtains. We had trouble locking the back balcony door but reached someone by phone within minutes and they walked us through how to lock it. Keurig with coffee pods provided. Tons of restaurants and a Walgreens within walking distance. Stanford short drive away. Amenities are great, accessible with a key card. Highly recommend this place. Better option than local hotels for the same price. One of the most beautiful luxury apartment buildings I’ve seen.

The Life House is an amazing property. Our small team came into town for a few conferences and Life House was a perfect place to lay our heads each night. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking a fun, open, inspiring space. Marky was a great host. He made sure everything was ready and quickly responded to any questions we had.

Leonid and Meytal's place was the perfect spot for our family (which includes a toddler and fur child as well). The location was great for visiting the city as well as several friends around the Bay Area. It's also located near a nice trail which was walking distance to a playground (score). Super communicative and also we are very grateful to have a local contact (our family member locked us out of the Airbnb, aghh) who was able to give us a spare key. The only thing is there is no microwave (but we got by just fine). Definitely recommend if you're looking for a Bay Area place for a visit.

A perfect stay for professionals. Vara’s place is cozy, peaceful, and tucked away in the beautiful Los Altos Hills - far from the noise yet still conveniently located. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. Waking up to the quiet surroundings and fresh air was a great way to start the day. Vara was a wonderful host, responsive and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a quiet retreat!
