House vacation rentals in Alameda County

Great old house, especially for families. It feels lived in by a family (and is decorated as such). That's great esp if you're traveling with your family; there's lots of useful things around the house and entertainments. Neighborhood is great as is the backyard!

I really enjoyed my two-week stay at Will's place! The apartment was clean and cozy, and the building appeared modern and new. I noticed a few reviews mentioning minor issues, but honestly, I had a great experience. The location is good – you can easily walk to a bakery, supermarket, and restaurants. Will was a great host, always available, friendly, and helpful with any questions. I recommend Will's place to anyone visiting the city – it's a great choice!

Everything was perfect the house was amazing with its pool and hot tub… Everything mentioned was there but unfortunately the Air-conditioning wasn’t available for the first floor and the fans in the rooms where not enough for cooling. Lastly, Rahel the host was very welcoming and we had an easy check-in. Great communication she was very responsive to our notes…

We stayed at Sara's while visiting family nearby, but her home felt like a vacation in itself. The backyard is magical - we spent a fair amount of time there, swimming, grilling/dining, reading/napping. The backyard (and its myriad diversions) even lured our tech-obsessed teenagers away from their devices for extended periods. Everything was well maintained, no detail overlooked. We also enjoyed the access to a peloton bike and workout equipment. The interior was clean, organized, stylish but comfortable. The sunroom and small courtyard off of the bedrooms were great for yoga or stealing a quiet moment with a cup of coffee or book. Sara was responsive and attentive. Instruction booklet was clear and helpful. The stay exceeded our expectations. We hope to be back.

Had an excellent stay with our family. Will is one of the best airbnb hosts we have ever had and would stay again at this home or any other home he hosts without hesitation. The cactus home is luxurious and has amazing amenities like heated bathroom floors, great outdoor space with pool and hot tub, and a well equipped kitchen.

Feng’s home was lovely and very spacious! We had a group of 8 guests staying and it could accommodate a larger group very well! Thank you for a lovely accommodation, Feng!

I highly recommend Kim's home. We stayed for 3 nights. The house was amazing. The pool and hot tub kept us and the kids busy all day. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely come again!

The house for our needs perfectly and Noel was helpful when we let him know of a couple small issues. The kitchen was perfect for our family dinners together so we didn’t have to worry about eating out each meal.

Everything was exactly as described and very walkable to the Walnut Creek shops. The interior was excellent, and the beds were super comfortable. A great place to stay overall.

My wife and I couldn't have asked for a better location or a better host. The house was beautiful. It was just a few short blocks from beautiful Lake Merritt and a short walk to BART. Carlos was extremely flexible and let us check in early, which gave us a few more hours to explore on our first afternoon in town. The space is completely separate from the other side of the house, so it was like we had an entire home to ourselves. The layout is beautiful with tons of sunlight coming through. There are two sweet cats that seemingly hung out outside of our door, and my wife loved that. This place is an absolute gem and I'd definitely stay here again! We loved it!

We had an epic three days at Lolo's place and are so grateful we had the opportunity. We needed to pivot last minute to find an Airbnb during our Spring Break to visit family and Lolo was super responsive and even let us check in early so it rental car wasn't sitting out front packed with luggage. parking was easy, neighborhood is fantastic. I grew up in Alameda so I personally love the area and it felt so great to explore the neighborhood. My husband and 7yo walked to get coffee and pastries in the morning, our 2yo enjoyed the playground nearby. the Airbnb itself has everything we needed, even a nice low to the ground cot for our toddler to sleep in, kids books and dishes. Enjoyed Ethiopian food for dinner one night. Our stay here was the highlight of our trip, I wish I was still there.

Svetlana was a fantastic host - always proactive with communication and extremely helpful. We enjoy our stay at her place and would recommend it to anyone making a stop at Oakland.

Lori and Don raise the bar on how to welcome guests. This home away from home was warm and welcoming, gorgeously stocked with small kindnesses to ease in travelers showing up late. I loved seeing a small flock of sheep and goats graze the pasture behind the house in the early morning, and hearing the chickens cluck in the frontyard coop while getting some fresh morning air.

There were several things I really enjoyed about Danping's place. One, the views of the Bay were stunning. Clean windows had a lot to do with that. Two, the hardwood floors were in perfect shape. Not always the case. Made for a cool bungalow feel. Three, the kitchen was spotless with a new and large refrigerator. A must for a family of five. Four, the bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. I was in bad need of sleep. Five, the temperature controls were a Honeywell with four weekday and weekend settings each. I have the same at home. Made for an efficient use of heat. Six, though we tidied up quite a bit, it was nice to know that we did not need to be so anal about cleaning. Finally and perhaps most importantly, Danping was exceptionally responsive. Not so easy around the holidays, so it was very much appreciated.

We had a wonderful experience in Sonny’s place. We love that house is so spacious for 16 of us (8 adults and 8 kids) -4 families total and we were comfortable. The amenities and house description is exactly what you see in photos and description. We enjoyed all the entertainment and games and we are already planning on booking again for the summer. We used paddle boats and kayak. There’s also a nearby grocery store and restaurants probably less than 5 mins drive so that was very convenient. Sonny is very responsive which makes all very easy. Thanks again Sonny for wonderful stay and we can’t wait to go back soon! Nina

Alice is an amazing host and always responsive! Absolutely great to work with and took good care of our crew. Thank you!

Maggie is a wonderful host, proactively checking in and responding graciously to our needs. Her home is attractive, comfortable, clean, spacious, with an extremely well equipped kitchen. The house was stocked with treats and toiletries. The front yard is beautifully landscaped. The front porch was a peaceful place to sit. The house was well located for all of our needs in the area. We would gladly choose to stay with Maggie again.

it was really great stay with Vilma's place. I have never experienced with such a great host,who is a very proactive supporter and very quick responser. Definitely recommend to choose this place if you stay in around San Mateo.

Very comfortable bed; great location near walking path and parks; lovely deck on the back; very clean; luxurious rain showerhead and big fluffy towels in bathroom. Huge TV. Everything one could need in the kitchen, including both French press and drip coffee makers! Laundry facilities were a nice convenience. Would definitely stay here again!

Lovely, clean house with anything you’d need. Great location — a block away from restaurants, local shops and the main bus line — but felt very private. Beautiful front garden.

Jilayi is a wonderful host with a beautiful house. Every decor choice within the house feels very thoughtful and it definitely added to the overall ambiance of the house and made the stay pleasant. We had everything we needed and instructions to check were super easy to follow. Love how accommodating the host was of our every need. The beds too were very comfortable and bathrooms spotless. The high ceiling of the house makes the home feel very roomy and not too congested like some airbnbs we have been to before. 5 stars from our side

Angela is amazing super fast communication and helpful!the unit is in a nice area it is very clean the bed is huge and comfortable enjoyed both TVs the yard is great and clean and the kitchen is stocked with !! everything!! You need to the tiniest detail for long or short stays!also you can't hear anything from upstairs like most places!good water pressure in shower!would have stayed longer but she was booked!would definitely recommend more then worth the price!our dog loved it as well:)

Our stay at Nora's place was perfect. Great location! Quiet and out of the way but 5 mins by car from whatever we might want. The views are spectacular and the neighborhood is peaceful and quiet. It is like being out of the city and not at the same time. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Eichler home. The house was clean, open and beautifully furnished. Great kitchen for cooking and everything felt clean and well well maintained. It was a great place to stay in the area.
