Cook in a gourmet kitchen, complete with granite counters and top of the line stainless steel appliances. The large family style kitchen is fully equipped with, dishes, stemware, cookware, even cookie sheets, oils, and spices. The kitchen table will easily seat eight.

Relax in a step-down living room under a cathedral ceiling, on white leather sofas, with a 42' HDTV and fireplace. Books, games, videos, and toys, are available for entertaining children.

The house is perfectly located for discovering all that the San Francisco Bay Area has to offer. Walk your children and/or dog to the local Las Palmas Park. Enjoy the huge playground, soccer and baseball fields, tennis courts. The park, less than two blocks away, has a beautiful pond and fountains, barbeque pits and picnic tables and pet area. Walk just a little further to Safeway, Office Depot, Sprout Farmer's Market, Pet Depot, Wells Fargo, Starbucks, Trader Joe's, and Twenty-Four Hour Nautilus. The possibilities are endless!

Sunnyvale is in the heart of Silicon Valley, near the southern end of San Francisco Bay, between Palo Alto and San Jose. The area is a gateway to many world-renowned technology companies such as Yahoo!, Intel, Apple, Google, HP, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Cisco, Facebook, Palo Alto Networks. The house is relatively close to major event centers such as Levi’s Stadium, the San Jose Shark Tank- SAP Center, and the new Home of the Earthquakes - Avaya Stadium. The San Jose International Airport (SJC)is a twenty-five-minute drive from the house. Highways 680, 880 and 280, 101, and 85 make access to many iconic and historic areas convenient. The beaches of Santa Cruz are within an hour's drive.

COLLEGE, GRADUATIONS & WEDDINGS: Santa Clara University, San Jose State, Stanford, and the area’s best wedding venues are all very nearby including Mission Santa Clara de Assis, Villa Montalvo, Los Gatos, and The Mountain Winery.

SPORTS: Levi’s Stadium, Home of Super Bowl 50 is less than six miles, drive from this ideal Sunnyvale house. Drive less than three miles to the George F. Haines International Swim Center, the site of international swim meets, and a "home" for world-class and Olympic swimmers, divers, and synchronized swimmers. The SAP Center, home of San Jose Sharks, is only nine miles out the front door. Don’t miss the San Francisco Giants play at AT&T, only forty-five miles away.

MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS: Kaiser Permanente Hospital is only three miles from the house; Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital, Stanford Hospital, El Camino Hospital, Palo Alto Medical Foundation, and O'Connor Hospital are all close by.

SHOPPING: There are endless opportunities to shop in Santa Clara as well as anywhere from the East Bay to San Francisco. Some of our favorites are Santana Row, Westfield Valley Fair (four miles away), Stanford Shopping Center (fifteen miles away) and Carmel-by-The-Sea (about seventy-five miles). The outlet shopping in Gilroy and Livermore are an easy thirty minutes away.

ENTERTAINMENT PARKS & MUSEUMS: Great America Theme Park, less than 5 miles; great museums including the Tech Museum of Innovation, San Jose Museum of Art and the Rosicrucian are all no more than nine miles away; Shoreline Park (SF Bay Wetlands), ten miles; All amazing places for the entire family to explore.

ADVENTURE: The surrounding sights, sounds, and sensations of nature are unforgettable. Drive about thirty-five miles to the SANTA CRUZ beaches for boating, surfing, beachcombing, and a great amusement arcade. Hike, ride a zip line, bike, or train through the beautiful redwood forests of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Or, drive up the coast to SAN FRANCISCO and walk across the Golden Gate Bridge, explore Angel Island and experience Pier 39, Fisherman’s Wharf, Lombard Street, Union Square, and Golden Gate Park. The scenery, fresh air, and vibrations are unforgettable. Down the coast in the other direction is MONTEREY BAY Aquarium, 'Seventeen Mile Drive', Carmel and many golf courses along the way – SpyGlass and Spanish Bay are favorites.

Wonderful house, wonderful location
We brought our two dogs and so enjoyed staying in this house with an enclosed yard in a quiet, residential neighborhood. We stayed for over two months and were able to work at desks in two separate spaces. The owner was responsive to all of our needs, and we found the location a great base from which to explore the entire Bay area. Highly recommended!

Excellent long term rental home.
My husband and I rented this home for 3 months as we were moving across the country and needed time to find a home to purchase. The location was perfect for us - just 5 minutes to my job and around the corner from a great park with a large dog park as well, which made our doggies very happy. Great neighborhood with friendly neighbors and very walkable. We loved everything about it and Lorraine and Teresa were incredible to work with before, during and after our stay. They made the whole process easy and worry free, which was important for us since the move itself was stressful enough. Fully furnished with everything you need for a short or longer term stay. All in all a great experience!

Lovely home
The house was clean and very comfortable. We reallly liked the 2 patios. Great for having our coffee in the morning. It was nice to have so many spice options for cooking. Plenty of dishes and pots and pans to choose from, too. We would definitely book again when we are in the area. The location was good for us. We were not far from the beach at Santa Cruz, family in San Jose and the airport. Teresa was very accommodating for all our needs. Thanks again!

Excellent home in a nice neighborhood
We stayed at this home recently with my family including young children and the grandparents. We needed a homebase to stay while I was in a wedding in San Jose and this certainly met our needs. The house was quite comfortable with plenty of room for everyone, clean, lots of little things there for your use such as paper goods, oils, and spices, laundry detergent, ect, which is always nice to not have to purchase yourself for a short stay. We certainly enjoyed the close proximity to the park with an excellent playground. Good food options near by. The owner was quick to respond and resolve the one set-back we had.

Cozy home
My husband and I took our kids to the Stanford-Cal Big Game and this house was the perfect location for our quick weekend get away. It's in a nice, quiet neighborhood with a beautiful park close by, In N Out right around the corner and a little hole in the wall cafe called K's Crepes that is fantastic for breakfast and lunch. It's not the most modern house but it was comfortable and had everything we needed.

Great house and great location
My wife and I and my 2 sons stayed here for Thanksgiving week. We really felt at home in Lorraine's house. It has a great floor-plan, open and light. It is close to shopping, Starbucks, a great neighborhood park, 20 minutes to SJ Airport. We hosted Thanksgiving dinner for 9 - and even though we were not familiar with where all the kitchen utensils and such were, we managed to have a wonderful family event! We will be back!!

Wear and Tear
Despite being close to busy main streets and shopping, this home is a peaceful oasis in a quiet and attractive neighborhood. Unlike some HomeAway rentals, this house is still a Bay Area base for the out-of-state owners, so renters should expect to share space with some of their belongings, pantry items, and personal toiletries. We arrived at the appointed 4 p.m. check-in time on a Thursday, a few days ahead of our son's wedding, with established plans for our time. Unfortunately, the full-sized refrigerator was not operating properly; the owners had called in an appliance repairman who claimed it was fixed--but alas, this was not accurate. Stop-gap arrangements allowed us to use the kitchen, but this was far from what we expected, especially given that more family members were due to arrive to share the space and renew the joy of cooking together. In all, two days of plans had to be abandoned while we waited for a repairman and later assisted the son-in-law and handyman who brought in a substitute appliance. (We have had problems with a GE refrigerator of our own, so we are familiar with the issues...and we're now Samsung fans.) Minor matters in need of attention should have been brought to the owners' attention by their cleaning crew; we have experienced similar issues in other rentals and these were no big deal, though we did notify the owners of the burned-out bulbs, etc.. Usually when we are checking out, owners only ask that the dishwasher be started and laundry left for cleaning staff to deal with. In this case we were required to launder the towels and have them in the dryer before leaving, as well as run the dishwasher and put all of the utensils and dishes away. (The owners had given these details along with the check-in instructions.) The location of this pleasant house is a big plus--mere minutes to Safeway. We would not recommend the home for a family with very young children or those with mobility issues; one bath had only a small corner shower, and the other had sliding glass door on a shower-over-tub that would not allow for parents to bathe toddlers. There was a step-down main room, and the fenced rear yard had no real play area. We did feel it was excellent space for we 4 adults gathering with the affianced couple for family meals. The kitchen was furnished with top-of-the-line appliances and nicely equipped--for our family, the heart of the home and the most important room.

A great "away from home" home
Lorraine's Sunnyvale home was perfect for my family! Our 4 plus day stay in October offered us a great family retreat, plus opportunities to visit interesting local sites and attend Stanford Soccer games. Even though there is room for 6 to sleep comfortably, nearby hotels made it possible for 11 of our family members to spend time together and gather at the house for meals. The location was close to groceries and freeways for travel to San Francisco, Monterey, plus the Stanford campus. Many thanks to Lorraine for providing many amenities for an amazing stay!

Nice house in Sunnyvale
We recently stayed in this home. It is clean, well laid out with nice outdoor space. Our family found it a comfortable place to stay while commuting to Stanford Hospital for a week. We had a few mantainance issues that were quickly resolved. Other than a lack of good reading lamps in the master bedroom we were happy with everything. I would recommend the house and also rent it again if the need arises.

A great house where you feel right at home
We absolutely LOVED our 3-week stay at this great house in Sunnyvale. It was perfect for our family of 3 plus 2 grandmas. Our 5-year old was so happy there that sometimes it was hard to persuade her to go anywhere else. She really enjoyed all the toys and children's books available and the nearby park with an amazing playground, and we all enjoyed the backyard and the charming enclosed courtyard, even for stargazing. To sum it all up, we felt right at home and were very sad to leave. The owner was very accommodating when we were arranging our stay, and everything was just like she described. We would definitely return anytime! This house made our vacation perfect. Thank you, Lorraine!

Great place for our family
When we needed housing for a family wedding event, this house was a great place to call home. Initially the house was not ready when we arrived but owner was willing to compensate us for the inconvenience and replied promptly to my call. Property was very spacious with two outdoor spaces and room to spread out inside too. Microwave was confusing to operate so would suggest a quick user guide be posted nearby. AC was a plus for the hot summer weekend. Carpeting is very light colored and would suggest its time for a good shampoo. Quiet neighborhood with easy access to shopping and restaurants.

We really liked how close this home was to a shopping center.

We would definitely stay here again if we're ever in the Mountain View/Sunnyvale area. Thank you!

I rented Lorraine's home for some wedding guests visiting from out of state. They loved the home and the fact that it was fully equipped and very centrally located. What also made the difference is that the host, Lorraine, is very responsive in email and phone communication, and that always makes a big difference. Many thanks, Lorraine!

Worked out great for San Jose trip
Stayed here for about a week in April 2017 and it worked out very well for my group of 4 adults and 1 toddler. This house is in an excellent quiet location with easy access to the various places we wanted to visit - Big Basin Redwood park, Avaya stadium, Santa Cruz, San Francisco, etc...seemed like the worst of the traffic on the freeways was always going the opposite direction we were, another indication we chose the right place to stay. The park (within easy walking distance) was a very nice one. The kitchen in this house was nice and useful and we were able to make our own breakfast each day. The price was reasonable considering the otherwise incredibly high rental & housing prices in the Bay Area (by my standards, anyway). If/when I visit San Jose again, this rental would be top of my list - thank you!

Perfect place for a family!
We chose Lorraine's house to rent while attending a family wedding. The pictures do not do this house justice! It is very spacious, and although it looks a little dated in pictures, is not that way at all in person. It's situated in a gorgeous neighborhood, with an AMAZING park nearby. The courtyard is such a beautiful feature and allows for natural light and privacy at the same time! We were a family of 8 adults and 2 young children. Lorraine was very accomodating and allowed us to bring our yellow lab, which was fantastic! We were all VERY comfortable the beds are some of the best I've come across in renting vacation homes, we can't say enough great things about our experience! The only drawback is the BBQ does not work. We bought a fresh tank of gas, and had some very handy people with us, but could not get it to work. Hardly worth deducting a star over though. House is in a great location. Easy distance to the Redwood Forest. I would stay here every time we go to see our family and highly recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by Teresa

Host profile image
This was my parents primary home for many years. My mom was a teacher in Sunnyvale for thirty-four years, and my dad had an automotive repair business. They are retired now and like to travel, so I help them share this family gem with others visiting the area.

Sharing family favorites for others to enjoy is a passion that I share with my mother, sister, and adult children. Together we offer unique, hassle-free and first-class vacation rentals. The weather, career opportunities, and the variety of things to do are what I love about the West Coast.

Why they chose this property

The house is more affordable than a luxury hotel, more private than an apartment, more spacious than a condo, and more central than most other options.

The house is at the center of a 35-mile radius extending to San Francisco, The Pacific Coast, Monterey Bay, and the CA redwood forests. Sunnyvale is cooled by a gentle breeze from the San Francisco Bay in the afternoons. It is a short bike ride to the wetlands, and a very short walk to the neighborhood park or other local favorites like Starbucks, Trader Joes, Borders, a work out room, and swimming at the 24 Hour Nautilus or the public library.

What makes this property unique

The courtyard & fenced backyard extend the living space for kids, pets, and adults.
