Holiday rentals with lake access in Lake Merritt

This house was amazing and super clean. The view was incredible. We very much enjoyed our family event of 3 days. I would highly recommend this place.

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 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 great stay! We went for a girls trip. The house was very cute. Jonathan was very friendly and always had time to answer my questions. I was a bit sad that the outdoor area did not match photos and was a bit dirty due to being out doors. It was an easy clean however. The house was well stocked with items that made it feel like a home which we appreciated. Thank you!

Wendy was a fantastic host and her home is absolutely beautiful. The location is perfect as a peaceful and safe retreat and equally, is so close to all amenities. Can’t wait to revisit!

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.

We were in the area for a wedding and wanted a place that our family (8 of us) could be together and hang out but also with areas to rest if needed. This home provided that and more! Plenty of options for us all to gather inside and out. So many TVs and a nice assortment of games also. We all enjoyed sitting outside to chat and enjoy the peacefulness of the water and surrounding area. The kitchen was wonderful, easy to prepare meals and we enjoyed the surprise in the fridge. All the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable - loved the fans in every room. Plenty of sparkling clean bathrooms that we could all get ready without any issues. Would highly recommend this home if traveling to the area. Easy access to the highway and shopping center.

This was a great house! It has amazing art and decorations. There was more than enough room for our family of 2 adults and 2 kids. The neighborhood is absolutely beautiful, full of historic Oakland mansions with flowering gardens. Street parking was plentiful. There are a bunch of great restaurants and a Trader Joe's within walking distance. EJ responded very quickly whenever we had questions and was very helpful.

toni was wonderful! so warm and communicative! i booked this for family visiting from south america and toni made extra sure they had everything they needed. they had an incredible stay—thank you, toni!

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!

Very responsive. The place was very cozy. Would definitely be interested in rebooking another time
