Holiday rentals with beach access in Alameda County

Lisa was great at communicating with me and answered all my questions. The location was peaceful and had a beautiful view of the ocean. The apartment was nicely decorated and very clean. There was everything that I needed for a nice, relaxing weekend. The area was very close to restaurants and grocery stores, which was very convenient! Overall had I had a great stay and enjoyed the location. It’s a great place to be when visiting the Bay Area.

My family and I stayed at Alameda penthouse in June 2025 and were delighted with the location and premises. A very charming and well laid out rental. Great communication from Monica when we needed information. For our first visit to California this was a great option for seeing San Francisco by ferry or road.

The studio was clean, cosy and warm (in December). The bathroom was clean and the kitchen was perfect for our needs. Carrie was always quick to respond and very helpful.

Very grateful I found this place, Michael was extremely responsive. The place had a really nice loft and bedroom. The location is perfect to walk around and explore Alameda, one of my favorite places in the Bay Area.

We really enjoyed our stay, and it was nice finding a place that was actually dog friendly, especially in Alameda. The neighborhood is great for walks. The unit adjoins the host’s house on one side and I think another rental below, but it is quite quiet and private. We happened to meet the hosts outside one afternoon, and they’re extremely nice. Also: - Easy parking. - The bathroom has a bidet, if you prefer that. - Very comfortable bed. - Netflix and maybe prime tv? A couple tiny things to be aware of: - the stairway up to the rental is a tad narrow (just mentioning for accessibility). - the kitchen circuit breaker kept tripping, so the fridge was iffy, but it might have been due to rain, and host said they’d look into repairing. All in all, a great rental! Would stay again and would definitely recommend.

This was our 2nd time staying at Lili’s place. She was so kind to let us check in early so my husband could work remotely. The place is conveniently located to shops and restaurants.

Kyle is an amazing host. Friendly, reasonable and super prompt. It felt like he was right there with us. We definitely felt like this was a great place for us. Kyle was truly invested in us having a good experience and it showed in all our messages. The place has everything for a short and long term stay and is close to restaurants, grocery stores and the beach. Great spot overall!

The photos are accurate, keep in mind it’s an old building but it has everything you would need even for a long stay. The location is great, walking distance to the beach and restaurants are very close. I stayed a little longer than one month. Tina was very responsive and made changes as needed to make my stay more pleasant. Tina replaced the microwave with a new microwave and also provided a new thermostat. I would stay there again because Tina was easy to communicate with and helped improve my stay there. It’s a safe location and although it’s street parking, during the month I stayed I didn’t have trouble finding parking near by.

Nathan’s place was lovely and exactly as described - perhaps even better! The place was very clean, comfortable, and had thoughtful touches - extra blankets, pillows, workspaces, excellent character, without being cluttered. Ample closet and dresser storage for clothing, toiletries, etc. We felt right at home and there was more than enough space for our party of three. Bathrooms were spacious and the beds were so comfortable. We would highly recommend Nathan’s place and would definitely stay again.

Robert is always such a great host! Responsive and the place is great!

Very nice home! We really enjoyed the city and the walk to the beach was beautiful. Only surprise was the rooms were smaller than expected. In one of the rooms you kind of have to crawl on and off the bed because it almost touches the wall. In the same room the light didn’t work but it wasn’t too much of a problem because we only slept in there. I really enjoyed the abundance of towels and dishes in the house. The house was well furnished and kept. The central air only has a heat setting so when we first got into the house it took some time to cool off with the wall ac and portable fans. I also really appreciated how responsive the hosts were. They answered all of our questions swiftly and respectfully! Great stay!

This a great spot to stay with family and friends when visiting the Bay Area. The location is perfect especially close to Oakland airport and anything Oakland. Street parking is super easy and available. Super chill, safe, vibrant neighborhood with plenty of good eats, drinks and beaches to explore down the street in Alameda. House is a perfect place to relax and totally private would definitely stay again.

We had wonderful time at Heather and Steven’s home. Both are just great host’s, very helpful and proactive, communication was just quick and great. The home was easy to find and everything was as described. The location is fantastic, short walks the grocery stores, Bart and nice cafes. We are locking forward to our next stay with Heather and Steve and can just highly recommend this location.

Beautiful neighborhood. Large and spacious house.

This is a beautiful home in a great location!! Highly recommend booking with Jeff! He’s very responsive and kind!

It was just what I needed for my getaway -- a clean, bright space with a solid kitchen, a great bed, and easy street parking. I loved being able to go for walks in any direction, and I stumbled upon a rose garden I hadn't known about.
