Holiday rentals with lake access in Alameda County

We loved staying at Corria's place. It’s a quiet ground-floor unit at the rear of a multi-unit property. The backyard is beautifully lined with rosebushes and overlooks the water, perfect for relaxing lunches (patio furniture available). It’s a quick drive to Park St & Webster St restaurants, Safeway, and the ferry - I commuted to SF by ferry 2 separate days, and it was beautiful! The kitchen is well-stocked for cooking, and there’s plenty of bedroom storage - we fully unpacked for our 1-week stay. I worked remotely from the dining table all week, and the wifi worked great. Corria was responsive and easy to communicate with, quickly helping with a couple of small needs. Some notes: - One bedroom has lower ceilings - better for kids or shorter folks. - Not wheelchair accessible: uphill driveway, then stone steps down to the unit (well lit at night). - There’s an old dock out back - it’s a bit rickety, so be cautious and watch kids. All in all, great location & highly recommended!

Rin's place is great. Clean, new and just like the pictures. We wanted to stay longer, but sadly it was already booked. Rin is responsive and super friendly. Great stay and highly recommended.

The home is freshly renovated, clean and modern. One parking spot available on the driveway. Street parking also available but a bit crowded. Basic necessities were generally well stocked. Hosts were communicative.

This house was perfect for Memorial Day Weekend. Lots of space, a huge deck, and lots of sleeping space. The open floor plan was so nice! We loved this house and would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Kim's place perfectly fit are needs! Lots of room to spread out., we hosted a small group of family to organize for a celebration of life from the mother. Everything was very serein and peaceful. Kitchen was extremely well equipped!! Outdoor space magical!! We would love to book again.

Superior host. Kind, helpful, reasonable. What a wonderful experience. Thank you.

Lovely property. Peaceful and clean. The home is located on the edge of a housing development where it is quiet. The house provided easy access to the area we wished to explore. The host was friendly and accommodating. We felt right at home and would rent the property again if we return to this area soon.

The home was very clean and comfortable. It is close to Lake Merritt and other local attractions. It’s on a quiet street with nice plantings.

We stayed at Michele’s for about 3 months for our travel nurse assignment. The place has everything you could need, at an amazing price considering the area. The sofa bed is so comfy, and easy to convert. Michele is always quick to respond. She would also give us eggs from her backyard chickens every now and then! She definitely took care of us. On Thanksgiving, she even brought us some sweet potato pie. We appreciated it so much since we were away from our families. Michele would drop off our mail for us every time we had something delivered. She really would go above and beyond. Would definitely recommend staying here if you’re looking for a great deal! Thanks for everything, Michele!

Great place in a beautiful neighborhood. Just what we wanted. Among other things, the kitchen was great and well-supplied, including coffee, fruit, bottled water, and a bottle of wine! We felt very welcome and will certainly try to rent it again when we're back in Oakland.

This is a nice apartment that is well-located in Oakland. Ally is a great host

I've stayed at LaurieAnn's several times and this continues to be my first choice whenever I'm in the Bay Area. LaurieAnn was very responsive to all my needs, as always. Perfect for a mobile single senior traveler. Highly recommended.

Absolutely gorgeous space! Felt like a 5 star hotel tucked away in this airbnb. The location is in a lovely residential part of the lake that is quieter and still walking distance to restaurants, shopping, grocery stores and central heart of Lake Merritt. The cleanliness of this place is top tier and loved the sweet note, gifted snacks/water, and all the personal “you may need” amenities provided in the bathroom too. Alisa is so helpful, kind, & clear with communication. So grateful to have stayed in your jewel of a sunshine home. The design is a mix of modern, retro vibes & everyone about this space is top tier. Thank you so much Alisa :)

It was awesome, had everything we needed, and the owner was more than helpful!

I had a truly lovely and seamless stay at this Airbnb. My family and I stayed here for 8 nights while celebrating my graduation from UC Berkeley, and it was the perfect home base. The check-in process was smooth and convenient, everything was handled through an app that also gave us access to the building’s many amenities. The apartment itself was spotless and had clearly been cleaned right before our arrival. I barely had to contact the host because everything was so well-prepared, but when I did, she was responsive, kind, and understanding. The location is ideal, right in the heart of downtown Oakland. It's just a short walk to the BART station, making it easy to get anywhere in the Bay Area, and the AC Transit bus stop is only two streets away. Being in the city center also made us feel safe and connected to everything we needed. If you're looking for a convenient, clean, and comfortable place to stay in Oakland, I highly recommend this Airbnb!

A very clean and comfortable location for easy access to Oakland Arena. Neighborhood is a bit load at times with barking dogs, but nothing a bit of sound can't dampen. La Tonya was very accommodating for an early check in so I could get a nap in before my concert. Felt secure and comfortable during my stay.
