House holiday rentals in Lake Merritt

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.

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.

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.

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!

Place was great! Looked like the photos and host was very responsive.

We loved staying here! It was super clean and tidy and matched the description. The bed was pretty comfortable, too! The hosts gave clear instructions on getting in and it was easy to find. It was a perfect location, not far from the airport or the Greek Theatre (about 15/20 minute drive).

We really loved staying at Soa's place.

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

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.

Our stay at Nicole’s Air BnB was perfect. We were in town for a family wedding and the layout of the house with its 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms was just what we needed. I must say, the photos did not do the property justice. The property was much nicer than the photos. The Lake Merritt area of Oakland is very nice with a lot for the kids to do. I would highly recommend this property.

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!

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.

Sophia is a wonderful host, responsive and helpful.. The place was situated near lots of beautiful hiking. The furniture was comfortable and it came with a fully stocked kitchen. Thanks for a great stay!

Awesome place, safe neighborhood. No issues any of the days we stayed. It’s also super close to the freeways.

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!

Cozy place to stay Oakland! Easy walk to the MacArthur BART and 6 bus to downtown Oakland.

We had a wonderful time at this Airbnb. The space was exactly as described and very comfortable. The location was ideal for walking to restaurants. Ringo was an excellent host – responsive, welcoming, and made our stay even better.

Gina was a fantastic host who had great communication. She was very responsive and kind. Her instructions were clear and her house was perfect before we arrived.

Great place! Nice touches like bathrobes, Nespresso machine

Great place to stay working at the nearby hospital, was able to walk to work easily. Safe street parking and the bed is very comfortable.
