Ori was a very nice host. He sends clear instructions/useful tips on locating the house as well as how to use the amenities provided. The house was perfect for my trip, felt like I has everything I needed. Would definitely recommend.

Bicycle Shack @ La Honda Pottery

TaraRating, 5 stars1 day ago
Wonderful cozy, peaceful, and beautiful place! We felt right at home. Everything is as described and the nice touches of fruit and breakfast foods including delicious plum jam and plum, ginger jam were so welcoming. The bed made into a king was comfortable enough but is also a fold out style so not comfortable in the way of a regular bed. We were tickled by the connection to Jenny O’Dells amazing book, How To Do Nothing (which is on the shelf in the Shack and she wrote part of the book there) because we absolutely love that book. We will definitely return!

Fourth stay at Jeff's beautiful flat on the beach. I keep returning because of its great location, sublime views, cleanliness, coziness, and responsive/friendly host. What a joyful space in truly a sacred place.

Stylish Spacious Seaside Retreat, Walking to Beach

David And ErikaRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
What a charming place! It had everything we could have needed and was within a 10-20 minute walk to the beach and restaurants. We were woken up before 7am one of the mornings by footsteps upstairs, but it was a weekday so it’s expected that some people would need to be up early. Overall, the unit was very quiet and peaceful. We had a little trouble with the dryer but the host was very gracious and let us use the upstairs dryer. My clothes came out smelling so nice, I wish I would have paid attention to the brands of detergent and dryer sheet. Great place, I highly recommend!

(1) Studio with outdoor spa in paradise.

ArjunRating, 5 stars1 month ago
The place was clean and at a nice location. The hot tub worked well. It's listed as a house but it is a room in a house with it's own bathroom and separate entrance.

Joy’s place was absolutely fantastic. The room was peaceful and tucked away in a really serene backyard. The backyard is fenced and our pups were happy to explore. Joy was an excellent host, very accommodating, and extremely helpful. We would recommend her place to everyone.

Private cottage in a garden

LorenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Quite possibly the best Airbnb I’ve stayed at. And by that I mean for the price this stay had so much and more. The cottage is tucked in the back of the main home among lush plants and trees lined with string lights. It’s very beautiful at night. The cottage itself is wonderful. Cozy, well decorated, and spacious. A full bathroom, little kitchenette, and the gracious hosts filled the place with goodies and treats: snacks, tea, wine. I had stayed in so many airbnbs that are literally just a plain room and am reminded that charm, character, and simple comforts really make the stay. This a true Airbnb and the hosts are exceptional!

Delightful Tiny Home in the Redwoods !

WillRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We had a great time and Delma’s place was the perfect place to stay! We spent the day in half moon bay and arrived super late and check in was still a breeze. It was sandwiched perfectly between the beach and the Big Basin State Park. The only thing that took some getting used to was the incineration toilet, it was fine just different. The amenities were great and the kitchen was awesome, made a nice steak dinner just with the steak from the corner store and some potatoes. Awesome stay and really made me realize how much I need a tiny home now lol. Will most likely not be my last time here!

Tranquil Waterfront Haven

TheresaRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
Great location on the canal! The house had a sauna, jacuzzi, pool, kayaks and a paddle board. All the toys for an active stay unfortunately, it was too cold during our stay to take advantage of the water toys. We however enjoyed the fire pit and the jacuzzi. We also had a movie night on the comfortable sectional and huge TV in the family room.

Entire house:Steps to beach and ample space

JasonRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We gathered a small group of friends for a memorial service of a friend who suddenly passed away. This house was perfect for us - plenty of beds, open space to talk, kitchen was great, and walking distance to the beach where we held the memorial. Our host was very friendly and accommodating and easy to work with. Would definitely stay here again!

Great Highway Oceanfront studio

PennyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This accommodation was wonderful, and the hosts were responsive and thorough in the details for the studio. Can’t get a better location in the Outer Sunset and it was great to be close enough to walk to a couple cafes and food places. The online description was perfect and Lesley and Alex were great. I would definitely stay again!

Noe Valley entire guest suite overlooking downtown

BrigitteRating, 5 starstoday
This place fit our needs! It was myself, husband, and 3 kids. We felt safe and slept well. We spent majority of our time exploring San Fran, but, it felt good to come back “home” at night. Noe Valley is a great location. We would stay here again.

Your guide to Pleasanton

All About Pleasanton

Pleasanton is an East Bay suburb tucked between the rolling greenery of Morgan Territory Regional Preserve an hour east of San Francisco and around 45 minutes east of Oakland. The city’s perennial Mediterranean climate brings people outdoors throughout the year here, whether that’s for mountain biking along the 9,090-acre Pleasanton Ridge Regional Park — where peaks exceed heights of 1,600 feet, providing spectacular vistas for miles around — or enjoying a round of golf at a local course.

Downtown, you’ll find brightly colored storefronts, restaurants, and cafes in historic buildings, some of which were once connected through underground tunnels that ran below Main Street. You can learn more about the architecture, which spans Victorian, Italianate, and Richardson Romanesque, among other styles, and the stories behind the famous people who populated these buildings, on self-led cellphone walking tours from the Museum on Main.

Pleasanton is also host to the popular Alameda County Fair, one of the largest fairs in the Bay Area.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Pleasanton

Conditions are balmy and days are warm in Pleasanton no matter the season. You’ll be able to hike, trek, and explore the nearby parks without fear of being rained on. If you book a Pleasanton vacation rental in the fall or winter, you can check out the area’s biggest annual events. The Alameda County Fair at the end of October is one of the Bay Area’s largest fairs and features food stalls, trucks, and rides. In November, the Holiday Train of Lights is a festive 1.5-hour round trip aboard antique coaches and open cars through Niles Canyon.
