Our group of 10 were very comfortable, the house was clean, and it was such a bonus to have Willow Glen’s shops and restaurants a BLOCK away. The host is welcoming, we will definitely stay again.

It was the perfect place
We needed a place for our out of town family to stay that offered enough social space for everyone to gather and enough beds for everyone to sleep. They haven't stopped raving about this Willow Glen house. It lacked none of the amenities and it's in a great location.

Fantastic place for a group
Our family thoroughly enjoyed this spacious and well-supplied home for our Thanksgiving reunion. The entire process from reservation to checkout went perfectly and the owner was super responsive and helpful at all times. I will definitely return to this rental when we all gather again. Any type of group would enjoy this property with its multiple outdoor areas, easy walk to all that Willow Glen offers, and quiet location right in the middle of the Valley.

Lovely family reunion
We hosted three generations of our family in this lovely house. Our guests enjoyed the near access of beautiful Willow Glen for dining and shopping. We hosted a few additional guests for a BBQ for which they house and incredible backyard are perfectly equipped. We'll be back for the next reunion.

We host camps for our affiliates several times a year and always book a house for instructor. In all the years we finally found the perfect house! Close to everything in a great neighborhood and in great condition, the house made our week even better. Will definitely be booking this house again!

Wonderful home.
This home is perfect for family gatherings, even those spanning three generations, because it is safe; has a fully fenced backyard, and has all necessary appliances. The stairs to the master are steep for some.

Cute older home in a quiet neighborhood. Enjoyed walking downtown and good restaurants. There were dirty dishes in the dishwasher and dirty laundry left in washer when we arrived. Pillows were flat so we bought new ones and left them at the house. Mattresses need to be updated!

Lived up to all expectations
We just rented this home over Christmas. Overall it was exactly as described. The house was well stocked with plenty of linens, towels, pillows etc. Also I was very impressed with the amount of items in the kitchen. Tons of pots and pans, plates cups etc. Also had some things such as coffee filters, teas etc. We had more than enough room and everyone was over all very happy. 10 min to the airport and a very central location to everything we wanted to do. I would highly recommend this house and would return. Thank you!

Price doesn’t match the quality
The home is in a great neighborhood and has great potential. Needs updating and attention to detail. Disappointingly, the kitchen is not equipped to cook a meal. What could be a lovely courtyard was left unraked and the grill was very dirty. lt was obvious, no one lives in the house.

Beautiful home in great Neighborhood
This is a beautiful home well stocked with supplies and immaculately clean. Steam shower in master bath was a surprise bonus and enjoyed by many. Great location to walk to coffee, great restaurants and shopping. Very enjoyable backyard and upstairs balcony with seating for several. The only downside was the A/C which seems to be the common thread in many reviews. We could never get it to cool enough. We opened windows in the evening as directed to help even out the inside and outside temperatures but some evenings we were home late and the house was not cool. Regardless, I wouldn't hesitate to stay in this beautiful home again when in the area.

Short & Sweet Vacay
Property was great. We were a little concerned when we first arrived because one of the master bedroom doors to the balcony was open, however we discovered if it wasn’t closed just right, it pops open on its own. Beds are a little squishy for someone that is used to a firmer mattress. Cooling the upstairs was a little challenging even with the AC upstairs in the master. Overall house was clean, had everything we needed, my two 9yr old boys loved the bunk beds, but they requested their own dresser & TV next time (ha ha ha). The steam shower was cool! Really helpful for unclogging stuffy allergy noses. Great stay if we come back to San Jose we would DEFINITELY stay again.
