House holiday rentals in Orinda

Very homey and welcoming. Family enjoyed celebrating time together in all spaces of the house, especially the back patio where our young child made believe on the well-designed pirate ship. Friendly, kind host. We walked to adorable Rockridge and BART many times. Highly recommended.

This home was in a great location in Clayton, close to tons of trails and a quick walk downtown. There was plenty of space in the home for several guests, and it was located in a very quiet, peaceful neighborhood. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

The place was clean and beautiful. We needed a home away from home while construction was going on at our place. And found it here.

We enjoyed our stay so much. The deck and view were so beautiful. The home was spacious, clean and well stocked. The location was perfect for the places we wanted to visit and the neighborhood was quiet. We already want to go back!

Wow - we had an amazing stay and loved Job's beautiful home. The photos barely capture the incredible views. 180 degrees views of Mt. Tam all the way down to the Bay - truly on top of world. Pool was bigger than expected, warm water, great covered porch, VERY nice pool house/bedroom & bath. All beds were super comfortable, everything sparkling clean and living room was such a great and comfy area to watch movies or just look at the view with a good book. Kitchen is outfitted (and labeled) with everything you need. Very close to San Anslemo downtown - which is filled with great lunch spots, coffee shops. So much to do in Marin and this is centrally located (note a steep driveway but we had no issues.) Can't think of a single improvement Job could make. I left something behind and he responded that day that he would ship back to me. One of our most favorite Airbnbs ever. THANK YOU!

Fabulous trip! We were greeted warmly by Jana and settled easily into the spaces of this large character home on a quiet cul de sac. It worked perfectly for our group of four. We loved the peaceful feeling of being on the water and the nearby pathways along the bay; it's lovely to sit outside to read and sip something. We didn't use the kitchen much, but it is very well-equipped. We got in some great hikes and meals at Mt. Tam, San Rafael, San Anselmo, Fairfax and Pt. Reyes as well as a SFMOMA day in the city. A wonderful location! Don't hesitate.

I love this place. My favorite Airbnb to date. It’s more beautiful in person. They have everything you can think of, very accommodating. He even let us check in early. I love this place. We will definitely stay again. And Kenny is so friendly!

The Craftsman castle was exactly what you’d expect from a Castle- beautifully decorated inside & out with everything you want for entertainment! Right down to the outdoor (& indoor) fireplaces. The pool is fabulous and there’s room for plenty of relaxing in style. The home is spacious & comfortable with bedding fit for a queen! The location is a dream also. You can walk to shops, restaurants, and stores of many kinds. There is even a bicycle/walking trail that was breathtaking! My family all loved this place and the Host, Daniel was always available if there were any thing we wanted. It made our visit soo great - thank you, we want to come back.

Was a beautiful home to spend our trip to San Pablo. The house was warm and cozy and it wasn’t too far from SF or where we needed to go. Was a great neighborhood. The house was easy to find and we enjoyed our stay a lot!!!

Athena was a great host! loved the location, walkable to their downtown. Will most definitely be back.

great stay. Thanks Hsi!

Absolutely gorgeous home in Walnut Creek. The town is very walkable (restaurants, coffee shops) and the house is in a quiet neighborhood. It's about 45 minutes from San Francisco and 45 min from Napa (we chose it like this on purpose since we were planning on splitting our time between these areas). If you're looking to relax this is the spot for you.

Oh my goodness! I can hardly believe we got so lucky to book this place for our trip to Berkeley. I'll definitely book again on our next visit. Location: AMAZING. Walking distance to groceries, Philz coffee shop, BART, restaurants etc. House: Clean and comfortable. Great kitchen, multiple bathrooms, really comfy beds, basic necessities (towels, shampoo etc), low scent (huge plus if like me you suffer from asthma). Historic home in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of trees. Wonderful communication from Scott, super friendly and accommodating. Stop your searching. Just book!

What a beautiful home nestled in the Oakland hills! We loved staying in a space that felt cozy and genuine. We had the amenities we needed like plenty of plates, towels, and bedding. This is a 2-bedroom listing with an optional, comfortable Murphy bed in the living room, which we used. The neighborhood has incredible views of the bay and SF, yet is still close driving distance to shops and restaurants (around 10 mins). We enjoyed our stay!

I only wish I could give more than five stars. Words can’t begin to describe our host. Without exception. Forever grateful for the superior level of kindness and hospitality. Thank you Michelle and Ryan.

We are in the process of selling our home and moving to the East coast and have had several fantastic stays at Will's place over the course of the last 3 months. This home is a beautiful private retreat in the middle of Bollinger Canyon. You'll experience a complete getaway and immersion in nature. Will is a fantastic and responsive host, taking care of us in many lovely ways throughout our stay. We will be back!

This is a very conveniently located house, near the restaurants and shops of Solano Avenue and the Albany Hill Park, and very close to the Albany entrances to the freeways. The front of the house looks over the freeway to the bay with vistas to Marin, the Golden Gate Bridge, and San Francisco. While it is very close to the roads, the house is well sound-proofed. The bedrooms are especially quiet. The house is clean and recently renovated. All in all a good value.

Rin’s place is amazingly beautiful. It is situated near to Target, many eateries, pharmacies and gas stations. The house was clean and very comfortable (just like photos). Kitchen equipped with cooking spices and appliances. Host was responsive and friendly. Would highly recommend to book Rin’s place.

We had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. Our host went above and beyond by welcoming us with a bottle of wine, which was such a thoughtful touch. Everything was perfect we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!

This place really lives up to its name - Urban Oasis. It should have the word paradise added to the description. I was looking for a place to host international guests and wanted a place which they could rest and have some privacy as they recovered from jet lag. As a local resident, I found it hard to believe that such a beautiful location existed so close by. The backyard reminded me of Hawaii. It was so beautiful and serene. Albena has gone above and beyond with all her unique decorative touches, supplies for the home (from phone chargers to best selling books). We used the kitchen quite a bit and it was stocked with pots, lots of dishes, and cooking utensils and supplies. Albena was so warm and friendly and super responsive and had some great tips for what to do. I even learned a few new things. My guests would have been happy to just stay in the home and enjoy it rather than venturing out to SF. I've already recommended this place to friends. It's so delightful!

Even before leaving home for our trip, Michelle was wonderful! She answered our questions prior to booking. Communication with her was very helpful and easy. We highly recommend her cottage and hope to stay with her again in the future. The location is very easy to get to off of the highway. It was very convenient for visiting our UC Berkeley student. Street parking was available nearby. Her property is private, secure, and quiet. We felt very much at home and welcomed by her. Her cottage had everything we needed and more. The cottage is exactly as pictured in her listing. Michelle’s place is bookmarked for us for future stays!

Stayed here with family. The backyard was our favorite part- we had a toddler in the group that could run around play while we hung out on the deck. House was beautiful and modern. The local area was peaceful, we saw lots of local wildlife on the hill which was fun to sit and watch with coffee. Highly recommend!

Although I didn’t do any cooking this trip, I loved that everything was there to make a meal and eat in.

Dmitriy’s place was beautifully tucked away from the city noise. It was peaceful and tranquil. While being tucked away, you’re only mins away from great places to eat and groceries. He was helpful the responded in mins. I would highly recommend this place to any one of my colleagues.
