Pet-friendly holiday rentals in San Mateo

Jennifer was a great host! She was super responsive and proactive when we messaged her throughout our stay. Our pup loved the dog door to the yard and walks at Thornton (2 min drive). It was easy to get to the city (quick drive to BART or driving).

Nice place. 3bd, 1 (small) bath. Easy parking in driveway, modern design.

This was our second stay at Divya’s home. The unit is tucked away from the street and has a dedicated parking space right next to the unit. If you have pets, there is a secure back patio for your pets to enjoy. Communication with the owner has always been good. We highly recommend her place.

We had a wonderful stay at Kate’s! Once you get off her road, there are plenty of side streets and trails for beautiful walks. We brought our baby’s crib and were able to fit it in a walk-in closet adjoining our room. The little one slept beautifully. The upstairs has lovely tree lined views. Kate is a fast communicator and we were comfortable. Thank you, Kate!

This home is in a wonderful location with peaceful proximity to the ocean and bluff hiking trail. Also, downtown is just a short drive or nice walk away. Inside, you will find a clean, open, light-filled space.

Very nice place. Ocean View out the front window. We regularly stay in AirBnB's and this place has everything a cut above the usual. Super clean, looks like it was remodeled very recently, everything is new. Nice back yard, completely fenced in. An Alpaca farm across the street. Alpacas look like a mini camel with an afro. A few blocks walk to the ocean.

Naomi's place was great! They were very responsive and the space was beautiful and fit all 6 of us nicely.

My daughter and I had a lovely stay at Shirley's home in Mountain View. I was working remotely during the entire week while she was at her day camp, and found that this house was very comfortable and clean, while also within close walking distance to Mountain Views nice downtown area that is filled with restaurants. We would love to have the privilege of staying here again in the future.

Our stay at Lori and Mike’s place was absolutely fantastic, and Lori truly made it unforgettable. While Mike was away on a trip, Lori went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—and more. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so welcome. She was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in creating a comfortable, personalized experience. She checked in with us just enough to make sure we were all set and shared amazing local tips that really made our trip extra special. Her kindness, attention to detail, and friendly energy made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Thank you so much, Lori—you’re truly one of a kind!

Our two families had such a nice time out by the pool, grilling and fishing off the dock. Thank you Sherry!

A recent stay at Robert’s home in Ben Lomond was exceptional. The property felt like home from the pictures on the wall to the books in the bookcase. The fully equipped kitchen, comfortable beds and toiletries was like walking into our personal family vacation home with everything clean and organized. Upon our arrival, we contacted the owner to let them know we arrived. We enjoyed a welcoming orientation of the property. The location was ideal with convenient access to stores and restaurants. We could not have selected a better place to enjoy quality family time and celebrate a graduation from UC Santa Cruz. This was a super stay and gets our highest recommendation.

This unit was really lovely. I had another booking cancel last minute, and this was a life-saver! Joelle and Sandra went out of their way to be helpful and responsive, and apart from a snafu when the Uber driver dropped me in the wrong place , the instructions were clear and accessing the apartment was super easy. The place was beautifully furnished and they had left a welcome note and small gift, which was a really nice touch. There was also water in the fridge. The bedrooms and bathroom have plenty of space, and there were spare towels and linen in case needed. Overall just perfect for what I needed, and lots of thoughtful touches. Starbucks and a Safeway are also walking distance, which was also great. I would definitely stay there or in one of their other properties again.

House is In a beautiful spot. Driveway access requires stopping on the side of the main street getting out, punching the code for the gate then making a u turn to get in to the drive way. The house was very open and spacious. Overall the family enjoyed the house.

My working week in California was perfect. Everything is easily accessible by car. I was able to work wonderfully in peace and quiet. The view and nature are wonderful.

Nelson was super responsive and helpful, the space is beautiful, all the amenities were great, and my friends and I had the best time for my birthday weekend!

The house was awesome, having everything we needed, plus some nice extra touches like pool toys and snacks for a movie night. The only downside was that they had instructions to not turn the ac down past 72 and it was a very hot weekend, the house held onto a lot of heat and the bedrooms were very warm. The pool and spa were great, and we loved hanging out in the outdoor space.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The guest house was bright and clean and had amazingly comfortable beds. The location was perfect for toggling between San Francisco and Stanford University (and for a quick trip over the hills to visit Half Moon Bay for a day). There is even a park with hiking trails close by. San Carlos and Belmont, with numerous restaurants and shops, are an easy 5-10 drive away. Sohui was a fabulous host! I would happily stay here again.

My wife and I, my son, and two of my friends stayed at Rebeccas property in Belmont for 4 days for a concert/weekend getaway. Rebecca was extremely responsive, communicating promptly during and after booking. The home was clean, spacious, and had all of the essentials you needed for a quick or extended stay. It did have only one restroom, but we as a group of 5 were able to make due easily!!! The home is pretty close to most things you would travel to the surrounding area to do, with everything we wanted to do being within 30 minutes away. All and all, it was a great experience, perfect home. If and when we find ourselves in the area in the future, we'd most certainly stay again! -Andrew T. Temecula, Ca

Steven’s place near Jonestown was terrific. My dog and I stayed for 10 days. There is a park just down the street. It’s a quiet safe neighborhood.

We love staying here! It's the perfect place for us (my husband, two dogs, and me) and is in a great neighborhood / overall location. The lemon bush in the backyard is a nice added plus!

Lacey was a great host, we had to find a place last minute and she was there for us! The house was perfect for us due to its location, close to everything! Very clean and spacious.

Staying on this boat in Alameda was an unforgettable experience. The location was peaceful and beautiful with gentle waves and sunset right outside our door. The boat itself was cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. We even had a seal pop up to say hello during our anniversary weekend. The host was communicative and made sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend this unique experience to anyone looking for something special!

Tracy’s place was beautiful and the location for me was perfect. There is a trail just a few steps across the street that I only got to enjoy one morning because I was there for work. I also wish I had more time to enjoy the outdoor patio because it was so beautifully landscaped. It took me a minute to figure out the cooktop. The bed was comfortable and the area was very safe and quiet, lots of older neighbors around walking, nice to see. Very friendly. I would definitely recommend and return for another visit!

We enjoyed our stay at this peaceful spot! Eoin was very responsive and was very helpful when we had a special request. The area is very quiet and just what we were looking for.
