Vacation rentals in Palo Alto

⸻ I had such a wonderful two-week stay at the farm. From the moment I arrived, everyone was incredibly friendly—especially the sweet little black cat named Teva, who wore a green collar and quickly became a favorite companion. Toni was so kind and responsive, always making sure everything was just right. The farm felt very safe and peaceful throughout my stay. Being in a cabin on a farm, a few bugs are to be expected, but it wasn’t an issue—I came prepared with essential oils, which worked well to keep them at bay. The cabin itself is cozy and compact, but the many windows let in so much natural light that it felt bright and open. The shower was great too—good water pressure and ventilation, though it might be a bit snug for some. Overall, it’s a lovely little escape—close enough to San Jose for convenience, but with a feeling of peaceful seclusion that makes it feel like a true retreat.

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

The House was better than the photos-it's very well done. We loved the feather- grass landscaping, the low/no chlorine spa was excellent, and the location was perfect. Lots of beach equipment available as well-this place is a winner! Even with fog, it was enjoyable...Thanks Tim!! Zack and Eleesabeth

Had the best stay here! Very peaceful and great for anyone that just needs get away from it all!

Absolutely amazing location. Peaceful and beautiful. Great hiking nearby. Was perfect for our family. Chris is very responsive and helpful. Already thinking about another trip out here!

Great place to stay with dogs, friends and family, Loved the creek and fire pit under the redwoods!

After staying at several Airbnbs over the past few weeks on a family road trip, we agreed that Dennis and Amy's thoughtful details made this the best airbnb experience of the trip. It was so clean, comfortable, and cozy. The garden created a peaceful ambiance, and our son had a blast sleeping in the loft. The great coffee, books, and games were also a big plus for us! Thank you, Amy and Dennis!

My wife and I spent a quiet honeymoon in Bolinas and this was such a beautiful and thoughtful space. The gardens were amazing, and the kitchen was well stocked which we especially appreciated as we mostly cook for ourselves. Angela was thoughtful, responsive, and generous as a host.

Perfect stay in Palo Alto! The place was very comfortable and spacious in a peaceful area and in walking distance from the town. We really enjoyed our time there and April and the team were super helpful and responsive to any questions or needs.

Stayed at Oriel’s place during a recent trip to Palo Alto and couldn’t have asked for a better spot. The space looks just like the photos, everything feels fresh and nicely upgraded, with thoughtful touches throughout. There’s even a small patio that was perfect for enjoying my morning coffee. It’s in a great location too, just a short drive to Stanford and close enough to everything without feeling too busy. Oriel was super communicative, especially when some construction started next door. He went out of his way to have them hold off while I finished an important video call, which I really appreciated. All in all, it was a great stay. Loved the space, loved the hospitality, and I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in town. Visiting from North Carolina

Stayed here for a weekend to attend a wedding. Devora was very helpful and friendly and made sure my stay was comfortable and seamless. The neighborhood is absolutely gorgeous and I found lots of things to do in the area. The space had everything I needed, couldn’t have asked for better hosts! 100% would come return.

This was a perfect place to decompress during a busy work trip. The space is beautiful, and the attached gym is such a nice treat! Everything was exactly as described, clean and lovely. I would definitely stay again!

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.

My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Rick and Heather’s place at woodside. The place is quite spacious and quiet. It is just as described and there were no surprises . If you are looking for a peaceful mountain getaway that is within 30 min ride to Palo Alto, look no further. Things to keep in mind (these are clearly described in listing) are: 1. lack of a true kitchen despite having microwave, toaster oven and a hot plate. I do not recommend any cooking here however since there is no real place to wash dishes or drain etc. 2. The owners live there and although u get plenty of privacy you may run into to them occasionally. If this is not your thing, I recommend you find a different place.

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.

This place was a very cute and peaceful retreat from the daily grind. I only stayed one night but it was everything I needed and expected. Clean and with all the amenities, great stay and I’d stay here again!

The cottage is nice. Big with lots of room and comfortable. It was as described in the description. The pool was nice and we used it daily. We were ale to sit outside and enjoy the weather and the garden. We were able to walk into Los Gatos which was nice but it is about 1 mile and uphill coming home so be prepared if you walk. The neighborhood was quiet. Close to what we wanted to see and do but if you are looking to do a lot in San Jose proper, it maybe a drive for you.

If you ever wanted to try out staying in a tiny home, this is the place! The surroundings are beautiful and it’s a super peaceful place. Perfect spot in La Honda for one or two people with a real kitchen.

simply Laura's family are so wonderful hostess, beautiful persons and the house is very nice place, peaceful, beautiful and for my wife and I will be thinking to return again soon.

The room is unique and well-described. The area has spectacular redwoods with a short trail and is also only a half our drive to Half Moon Bay beach. Instructions for heating the hot tub were clear. Perfect for relaxing before dinner.

Staying at this small house with pool was just what I needed. Enjoyed all aspects of my stay!

Todd was super accommodating with our hot tub requests the whole week and very friendly. The room was a little smaller than expected, but the area was very nice and peaceful. Overall enjoyed our experience.

My girlfriend and I came here for our anniversary. The cabana was perfect and April was always responsive to our needs. There were a lot more peacocks than we expected, but it made the place more unique. We loved the wildlife and the scenery of the city. Our highlight of the trip was petting the dogs. It was a great stay and we would love to come again!

beautiful backyard with hot tub. very quiet area. highly recommended.
