Family-friendly holiday rentals in San Francisco Peninsula

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.

We really really like this place. Time moves slower, and it feels very restorative, even if it’s just a weekend. Will easily go again.

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 daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Laura’s place. The place was super cute and it was along a creek. We loved the eucalyptus trees and the greenery surrounding the cottage. We both enjoyed hot tub after a long day of exploring Berkeley nearby.

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.

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.

Amy was very responsive and really sweet. Although older the place was very clean, so much cleaner than many other places I've stayed. I would stay there again.

Great house in Half Moon Bay! Only a few hundred yards from the beach. Great for dogs. Quiet! Lots of greenery and flowers. Gas fireplace was perfect for a chilly coastal night. House is in a great location and close to southern HMB and really close to the Ritz and HMB Golf Links. We will definitely use this house again, anytime we visit HMB!

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 great stay! Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience. We are looking forward to staying 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.

Absolutely delightful. I highly recommend this place. The home is lovely and well equipped. Excellent location. I have zero complaints! This place is something special and you will not regret booking.

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.

If you’re looking for a few nights tucked away in the hills of Northern California, this is a great spot. It feels like a true retreat, but you’re still just a short drive from Sausalito, Mill Valley, Stinson Beach, downtown San Francisco, and more. The space is wonderfully designed—it has a real vibe—and our hosts were kind and helpful throughout.

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 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.

Polina's guest house was excellent for a weekend full of events. We were very busy, but when we did get a chance to use the hot tub it was so therapeutic to relax under the trees. The guest house had everything we needed for a few nights, and was in such a peaceful area. The bathroom was very large and perfect for two getting ready for events, the little house was perfectly comfortable and had everything we needed. Polina was extremely accommodating and responsive to any of our requests. I would highly recommend staying in this peaceful little home!
