About 270 Gabarda Way

---- SCHEDULE A SHOWING ONLINE AT: ---- Charming, Furnished Summer Rental with Beautiful Back Yard! Available May and June 2024, with some flexibility; minimum stay 2 weeks. This luxury summer rental is nestled in Portola Valley, a quiet town abutting the Santa Cruz mountains, yet just minutes from highway 280, and a few minutes further to Stanford University & Hospital and to major employers. The home is well equipped, tastefully appointed, and has 5 bedrooms, an office, an exercise room, a chef's kitchen, and a large, verdant back yard with fruit trees and vegetable planters. Near to a small shopping center plus delightful parks and hikes. Note that we also ask for a $500 monthly utility surcharge; rates have skyrocketed over the last few years and we reluctantly have no choice but to pass some of those costs to tenants. Details: Welcome to your luxurious summer retreat in the serene town of Portola Valley, nestled in the foothills of the picturesque Santa Cruz mountains. This exquisite Airbnb offers a peaceful escape, yet is just minutes away from highway 280 and Silicon Valley's excitement and fast pace. Upon entering this graceful residence, you'll be greeted by a spacious and well-designed interior, featuring five bedrooms, an office, and an exercise room. The chef's kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, perfect for whipping up gourmet meals with locally-sourced ingredients. Step outside into the expansive backyard, where verdant lawns, fruit trees, and vegetable planters create a tranquil oasis for relaxation and rejuvenation. Whether you're enjoying a leisurely breakfast al fresco or unwinding with a glass of wine under the stars, this private sanctuary is yours! The gardens surrounding this house are spectacular in the spring and summer! The current photos were taken on a rainy day in February so they don't do it justice. Imagine the following - Wisteria is in full bloom by the front door and white blossoms on the pear trees in early April. Beautiful red roses climbing up the lattices that cover the back porch in May.. Cherry, plum and apricot trees full of fruit in June and large pink and white hydrangeas bordering the lawn in July and August. The owners spend most of their time barbequing and entertaining friends and family on the back deck from May - November. You will be staying at this home during the perfect months. Just a short drive away, you'll find yourself in the heart of Silicon Valley, home to world-renowned tech giants and innovative startups. Stanford University and Hospital, nestled nearby, offer a wealth of educational and medical resources, making this area a hub for academic and healthcare professionals alike. Discover a myriad of nearby outdoor activities such as hiking and biking along scenic trails that wind through the surrounding hills and valleys. Also take advantage of the nearby small shopping center with its restaurants, coffee shops, and a grocery store, or venture further afield into neighboring Woodside (check out the legendary Buck's Restaurant!) or Menlo Park (with the equally legendary Dutch Goose Restaurant!) With its location and amenities, plus endless opportunities for exploration, your summer escape in Portola Valley promises to be a memorable experience. Note: The property includes an upstairs detached ADU (aka "in-law unit" or "granny flat") which has a separate entrance. The owner's daughter stays there a few nights per month, entering through the side gate. You won't even notice she's there! Also note that while many mapping programs identify the location as Menlo Park, the home is actually in neighboring Portola Valley. DRE 01404898
