Beautiful, spacious, and clean stay

The best vacation rental I've ever stayed at! Our family had a lovely stay. The host allowed us to check in early and was very communicative. The home was immaculate, well-appointed, very comfortable. Our toddler had a great time running around in the giant fenced in garden. Location was also convenient and walkable to some local attractions. Would definitely stay again.

Easter Family Gathering

This property is gorgeous and super comfortable. We hosted my parents and college-age daughter here for nearly a week and had a wonderful stay. The house is comfortable, clean and easy to use. The gardens are even more beautiful than the pictures and the neighborhood is terrific for walking. We highly recommend this home!

What a wonderful home, not just a property! We celebrated a Stanford graduation here, and the location was great for all our dining and campus activities. The house is tastefully and thoughtfully renovated, and it is equipped with everything you would need for a visit. The gardens are an additional and inviting living space with fragrant roses and jasmine. Annette and Cathy were very helpful and great communicators. What a treat to have made this a PA dream home for a few days!

Love this Home!

We’re repeat guests of this wonderful home & are grateful to have found this gem when our daughter started law school. We love the neighborhood, the closeness to Stanford’s campus, restaurants, shopping, but most of all, we absolutely love the house, the patio, & beautiful gardens. It’s perfect & we’re looking forward to our next upcoming stay!

Old Palo Alto

The photos of the house did not do it justice. We were so pleasantly surprised with the size, comfort and decor of the home and gardens. It was a peaceful paradise in a great location. Most everything we wanted to do was 10 minutes away. We absolutely loved our time in Palo Alto, and this home made it a special vacation!

Beautiful house with delightful garden

For our family of 6 this property was perfect for our week long stay. The house is beautifully furnished, spacious, very comfortable and well equipped with modern appliances and technology. The house looks out into an idyllic secluded garden and beautiful old trees where it would be wonderful to sit in warmer months. The Old Palo Alto neighborhood is beautiful as well, and the street is very quiet. Communication with the owner/property manager and all arrangements were easy. We would be very happy to come stay again. Highly recommended!

Icing on the cake

Once again, another beautiful & memorable stay! We found this gem while searching for a safe haven for our family during Covid when our daughter started law school. Her then 89/90 year old grandparents - now 92/93 have continued joining us as well. Being able to stay here when she first began, frequent this home through the years of attendance, then be able to stay here during graduation was more than icing on the cake! Wonderful home to make wonderful memories. We hope to make more..

5 Stars with a small flaw

The description and pictures of this home doesn’t express the beautifully decorated quaint home. The property manager communicated in advance of our check-in to coordinate arrival and entrance to the home. This was a surprise anniversary trip for my husband and unbeknownst to him I invited four of close friends to join us. Unfortunately due to flight cancellations (COVID) it ended up being just the two of us. This provided for some great rest and relaxation in the beautiful home. One and I do mean ONE flaw was the freezer was broken so no ice or ice cream for my ice cream junkie husband. We would definitely rent this home again!
