Holiday rentals with lake access in Oakland

Julieta's place is wonderful, offering an experience that goes beyond expectations. The views are absolutely breathtaking and the house itself is exceptionally spacious, meticulously clean, and thoughtfully equipped with a wealth of amenities to ensure your comfort and enjoyment.

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!

Exactly what we needed for a few days in SF. Much more comfortable and quiet than a hotel and everyone had their own bed and space. Host was responsive and place was clean and welcoming. Beds were very comfortable and everyone slept well after long days of walking and exploring. We would definitely stay there again.

Rin's place is great. Clean, new and just like the pictures. We wanted to stay longer, but sadly it was already booked. Rin is responsive and super friendly. Great stay and highly recommended.

Ranjita was amazing host for our trip to Napa and San Francisco. We absolutely loved staying in her beautiful home. All of her decor and layout made it possible for us to have a place to relax and unwind after sight seeing and venturing. Thank you so much Ranjita for all of your attentiveness and for accommodating us!

Highly recommend. Felt like home!! Clean and comfy! He had everything you need for your stay!

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.

The home was very clean and comfortable. It is close to Lake Merritt and other local attractions. It’s on a quiet street with nice plantings.

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!

A very clean and comfortable location for easy access to Oakland Arena. Neighborhood is a bit load at times with barking dogs, but nothing a bit of sound can't dampen. La Tonya was very accommodating for an early check in so I could get a nap in before my concert. Felt secure and comfortable during my stay.
