Vacation rentals with a patio in Portola Valley

We stayed at the apartment while our house was getting remodeled. The location is great—walking distance to shops and restaurants. The bed was comfortable, and the patio was a great addition. The first-floor location and the large trees make the apartment cooler, but also a little dark. Overall, we had a good stay, and Cosme has been very responsive and flexible with our change of plans!

Incredible spot. Lots of space for Alameda, new amenities and very clean. All we could ask for and more!

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

We were just passing through on a roadtrip and stayed here for the night. This Texas girl was very surprised to find no AC in the place but I’ve been told there’s not much of a need for it in California and I understand why now! We slept comfortably. I think it’s important to note that this apartment is on the third floor and there’s no elevator but don’t let that keep you from booking the place! We will definitely be back!

We had a great stay at this Petko’s Airbnb in Half Moon Bay. The location is super convenient, with a view of the ocean and easy access to local spots. The home itself is spotless and well maintained — the bathroom and kitchen are especially gorgeous, and the bedroom was clean and comfortable with fresh linens. The neighborhood is peaceful and quiet, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The host was also very responsive and made everything easy. Highly recommend!

Great location! Apartment was spotless and location very convenient to restaurants and shopping. Hosts were very responsive. We had a bit of trouble with the app that provides access to the garage , but we were generally able to piggyback with someone else entering the garage, so it wasn’t a significant problem. Would happily stay again.

Great spot. James was very responsive. There were nice touches everywhere. It felt like I was staying at a friend’s place.

The cozy casita was absolutely amazing. It was perfect for my weekend getaway. I had plans in emeryville it was very close. The details of the casita were well thought out. I felt the love that was put in. Would definitely stay again.

Place was great. Especially loved the outdoor area. Tung was very responsive - we had an issue with the outdoor fireplace (which was really nice, btw) and he came over right away to fix it.

Airy, comfortable and immaculate place. Watched surfers, seals, whales and birds everyday.

We spend 5 days in Il Hwa’s place to visit old friends in the area and I can only says that the place was great. It’s clean, spacious and well located for us. We were worried about the house being next to the airport. However, the house is well isolated, so in the house the noise isn’t too bad. Outside in the garden, though it is very loud. Altogether, we had a great stay and would come again. Thanks Il!

Truthfully, I have nothing but positive feedback. Two couples travelling between hiking trips and a wedding. This was a great place to unwind and regroup, with plenty of lovely walkable cafes nearby to set us up for the subsequent leg of our trip. A tight squeeze for 6 looking for privacy, perhaps, but pretty darn good for two couples! Check in was easy and clear. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

A hidden gem with warmth and character, close to everything and very private at the same time. The patio and gardens under the giant redwood is filled with fig trees, tropical ferns, orchids and banana trees. Beautiful tile and stone work decorates the paths , columns and interior spaces of this charming California Bungalow. The stuccoed interior has tall ceilings and massive beams. Big barbecue and well stocked and organized kitchen

My husband, sister, and I had a wonderful 5-day stay while in California for our daughter’s graduation. Our hosts, Sophie and Jennifer, were friendly, helpful, and responsive. The apartment was spotless and well set up, with a beautiful sunlit kitchen nook, a sizable well-equipped kitchen, and a desk for work. We had a great stay and hope to return soon!

My family and I were very happy with our stay at Jessica and Florian's home. They went above and beyond in making sure we had everything we needed. The house was spotless and we felt very much at home there. We will gladly stay there again on our next trip to Stanford.

Nice space, easy check-in, clean, it was a great spot. I would definitely return if I could

Nice cozy place and good location.

Everything was great! The unit had everything you could possibly need for a trip (stocked bathroom, stocked kitchen, tons of extra towels and blankets). The neighborhood was also very quiet, which was great because we're light sleepers. I would definitely recommend this spot and would stay again.

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.

Beautiful place to stay and spend wonderful time in the backyard, House is located closer to University and restaurants. Assigned parking spot is added advantage to this house. Enjoyed staying in this house.

Nader, We love the Deco and the Vibes of the home. Toilet has heated seats and in-Built Bidet spray for your Ehem-ehems! Toaster,water boiler,many pans, oven, microwave, he has everything u need. I asked about Aircon🙈. We did. not need aircon as The weather is so nice and cold at Night (11degrees 13-18Jun). We loved that Nader is a responsive and responsible host. My 15yr old son had a home accident and broke a hanging light fixture at the dining area as he stood up. We informed Nader of the issue. Super-host asked "firstly, is your son okay? Does he need medical attention? I have a first aid kit in the home". Super-host Wins!!! (Inna haza larizkunna mallahu minnafad. Amiin Amiin Amiin) - our doas to Allah SWT to grant you more Rezki for providing us a safe great home to stay. Boys wanna come back to SFO and re-stay at your home again! Thank you Nader

Amazing host! Super responsive and helpful when we had questions. Would definitely stay again if I’m back in the area :))

I read all the reviews online about Kimberly's place so I knew it would be nice. The large closet was awesome, comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen. The only problem I had (I knew this ahead of time) was hearing the owner's kids above us. Most of the time, no problem and never at odd times. I did feel the parents were as courteous as possible for 2 small kids but it was hard to take a nap a couple of times. I am used to a single home so this may play into it. I still recommend their place but keep in mind, occasionally, you hear people upstairs as also written in other reviews.

Michalis place is nice and relaxing . Good communication when I facing problems . They did understood and try the best to help . Location close to any big mail or restaurant. I will definitely suggest.
