Cottage holiday rentals in Pleasanton

We loved staying at the Dipsea Cottage. It’s a beautiful, calming, and comfortable space. We really enjoyed being able to walk to the beach, restaurants, playground, and shops. We look forward to coming back here again!

We loved our stay here. Bill was extremely sweet and kind. He even provided a lovely tray of coffee for us in the morning. The space was clean and quiet. The location was perfect for a relaxing end to our day. Would recommend!

Had the best time staying here , hot tub and spa was relaxing and was very well needed. House was clean and cozy would definitely book again

Mara is a great host, charming and thorough.........a great combination for us! Her detailed instructions and "hands-off" thereafter approach was perfect for us. The unit was just the right size for us and had everything we needed for our week plus stay. We hope to visit and stay again in the future as the location is perfect for us.

Great place! Cabin looks amazing and they have everything you need. They anticipate your needs as well. Clean and relaxing!

We felt right at home; simply and amply appointed. It was surprisingly spacious for a one bedroom and easily accommodated four adults. The outdoor garden space was perfect for evening and morning relaxation. The sign of a GREAT host is how they handle an accidental (major) breakage. As guests, we were mortified. Diana was absolutely gracious. Thank you for your understanding, Diana.

Stayed for the first time in Pescadero with the family. Steve's place was perfect - great location, well equipped, lots of space. Loved the views and accessibility to it all. Thanks, Steve, for sharing your wonderful place with us.

Gem of a beachhouse, on a quiet street, just a short walk from the beach. Clean, tastefully decorated cabin and loved the peaceful back garden and front patio to enjoy the sun as well.

It was a joy to retreat to this cottage after a very busy work event. Definitely worthy of its 5 star rating. The combo of the hilltop location and beautiful garden vegetation made for a quiet, beautiful, and serene experience. Highlights included reading outside in the yard, hiking without needing to drive, seeing hummingbirds, a comfy desk for letter writing, great indoor lighting for reading, a well equip kitchen, great local recommendations, and Minie being such a responsive host. We also enjoyed a nearby AirBnB Experience: Dye a scarf with California plants with Auli in case that sounds interesting to you too.

Great central location with lots of places to walk to. I grew up in Castro Valley but haven’t been back in many years. We stayed with our twin 5 year olds and there is a play place that is nearby. Katherine was very communicative and flexible with check in. There was a housekeeping issue and Katherine addressed this issue immediately. We couldn’t get the shower head in the master bath to work correctly but the guest bath shower worked just fine with good pressure. We were disappointed it rained while we were there because we didn’t get to use the backyard. It looked very inviting with the BBQ and fire pit. The dining table was great as we had my senior parents over for dinner and everyone fit comfortably. The home is beautifully decorated

Second stay, and I would love to stay a third time.

Jan is an incredible host! We’ve stayed at all of her Pleasant Hill locations, and this just might be our favorite one. She’s thoughtful with snacks, water, and coffee. The place is clean and has thoughtful touches. Definitely a great value too!

It was an easy and comfortable place to settle into. Great bed, easy to use thermostat, lots of drawers and closet space. It has two nice decks to sit outside but we didn't use them much because the weather was pretty cold. I guess the weather is the only thing we can complain about! We enjoyed coffee and delicious pastries at the little cafe around the corner. And we had a short walk to see our son and grandchildren. A great place for us and we'd like to stay there again.

Lovely spot that’s convenient to walk to groceries and parks. It’s new, clean, well stocked with coffee, filtered water & basic spices. Bonus to have orange, lemon & avocado trees outside! Recommend to others looking for a convenient Mountain View location!

I literally couldn’t have asked for more. They were so responsive and helpful with anything we may need. I stayed here for a month for surgery and didn’t want to leave when the month was over. The tiny house was clean and exactly what I wanted and needed for my recovery. Close to everything I needed and wanted to get to. All the light and fresh air you can ask for. Recommendations for food and stores. Visits from their amazing dog!! I wouldn’t change a thing! What an amazing host, family, city, and tiny home. I will definitely be back.

My husband and I had a great time in Mill Valley. We were amazed at the location of this adorable cottage. It is walking distance to the library and to downtown MV, which had everything we could possibly need/want. Such an incredible community. Our host was helpful when we had questions and answered promptly. The cottage was cute, clean and cozy. Overall we loved our stay and would love to come back again someday!

This is a great place to stay in the bay! This reminds me of how are bnb was before it became really corporate. Her space was really charming and there were a lot of extras like food and blankets.

This was our second long-term stay (each stay being several weeks) at the Sunset Serene Cottage and we will definitely be coming back for more. Consider this as your home away from home. The location and the view cannot be beat. The house is perfect for us as a couple - bedroom, kitchen, living room, and bathroom have everything you need for a relaxing and convenient stay. It’s surrounded by so much nature, and it was wonderful to have a busy day and then come home to this oasis. Neighborhood is also very safe and we took many walks to enjoy the view of the Bay. We thank Albena and Nikolay for promptly responding to our queries and for generously accommodating our special requests. Already planning our next visit! 🌅🏡💕

Very cute cottage in Atherton. Worked well for me and my colleague. We were able to park our car onsite. The area is very safe and quiet. You are within a few minutes from Stanford, downtown Palo Alto and Sandhill Road. David was very communicative, texting with specific directions and responding to questions throughout our stay. There were several bugs in the cottage (a few, random ants and a handful of spiders).

Wow!! A great find! Gorgeous and serene surroundings with a SPOTLESS perfectly outfitted cottage. Every part of the cabin is thoughtfully decorated and well stocked. All the decor matches and has such sweet charm to it. It smelled lightly of peppermint when I arrived and all the linens were fresh, fluffy, and clean. The property is a dream and so very calm and quiet. Linda and Duane are SO NICE! They wrote me a welcome card and even jumped my car. Would stay again in a heartbeat.
