Holiday rentals with lake access in San Francisco Bay Area

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.

Our stay was peaceful and relaxing. Our grandson enjoyed fishing from the dock and the family has fun taking out the kayak and the paddle boat. It was everything we hoped it would be.

Carlos was very gracious and responsive. We met informally on the walkway into the house and he was friendly and shared the history of the house. There are many unique decorative objects in the house from Bali and other travels. The setting is homey and cultured at the same time. We had a minor accident on the stairs and Carlos was right there with offers of assistance. All was well, and his response was kind and reassuring.

Your home made a great stay, thx so much

Beautiful, clean, spacious home right on the lake. Excellent outdoor patio and seating area with a well maintained private dock. Plenty of parking. We will be staying here again next year.

Mark’s place was spacious and very comfortable for our group of 8 and only a few minutes away from Middletown. Easy access to the private wine tasting we booked at Beaver Creek/Martin Pohl and the grocery store. We were able to use the grill to cook dinner one night. The kitchen was well stocked. The WiFi was slow during our stay but the host mentioned the WiFi doesn’t usually have issues. Since there’s limited reception at the Airbnb, we did leave to take work meetings from a cafe in town that was only a few minutes away. I highly recommend staying here! Be sure to stop by the Petrified Forest on your way in

The host was very responsive and answered any questions I had. Check-in was very easy and checklist for checking out was outlined nicely. The house had plenty of room for our family of four and everyone their own space. Very quiet area.

Thank you Amy for welcoming us in your home, while visiting my parents! Your home and view made a difficult visit into a calm and relaxing place to come back to. My daughters and husband also loved it! Especially seeing the turtles swimming! Thank you so much for your kind words and your beautiful home!

really nice and clean 👌

Terrific place! Very comfortable and in a fantastic location. Talitha and Allen are outstanding hosts.

Belinda's place was worthy of all of the 5 stars I just submitted. We were entirely pleased with all aspects of her home and our stay. If it matters to future travelers, there are 45 steps from the sidewalk to the front door. We managed these steps, but there is no getting around them.

Toni was an amazing host and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable! Their spot is such a home away from home. We had everything we needed! We traveled with our two year old son and their backyard was an amazing spot for him to get outside and get the wiggles out! The walkability was a huge draw for us and it was so nice to have so much nearby. Golden Gate Park was a quick walk and there was so much to explore! Highly recommend this spot to anyone visiting San Francisco.

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.

pleasant decor, all the amenities you could need (Laundromat just next door), friendly neighbors, soft bed, shower has great pressure and all the hot water, even some tequila in the cupboard! 😅 Only thing I could complain about is it gets HOT in there on a hot day but just open the doors and hit the fans. Oh and such nice gardening, fragrant flowers everywhere. Thanks Kyle!

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!

My stay at this Airbnb was truly amazing! It was peaceful, quiet, and perfect for me and my two young children. From the moment we arrived, I felt completely at home. The space was clean, cozy, and had everything we needed—and more! Monique, the host, was incredibly responsive and attentive. She made sure all of my needs were met and communicated with me every step of the way. The entire experience felt smooth and stress-free. Despite having two little ones who can be a bit loud at times, we had no complaints, which really allowed me to relax and enjoy our stay. The amenities were top-tier: a beautifully stocked coffee bar (which I definitely enjoyed every morning!), fast and reliable Wi-Fi, and even a washer and dryer, which was such a blessing when traveling with kids. The location was also perfect—safe, quiet, and very convenient. What made it even better was how affordable and reasonably priced it was for everything that was offered. It was honestly a great value. 💕💕✨✨ thank you

Great location and access to the lake. The place had plenty of lake equipment (kayaks, paddle, life vests, fishing gear, etc) everything you can ask for. Relaxing location in a quiet town, we enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful, quiet, peaceful - a little bit of a drive from most activities, but the drives are just as beautiful. Highly recommend.

I don't think I have enough characters available to describe this experience! We use Airbnb often and this was our best one! First, the host Jeffrey was fantastic. So helpful and communicative. But this home is just a magical place. If you're looking for a very private experience, but still close to the city... this fits the bill. I don't think the photos posted do it justice compared to the in-person experience. The house-keeping crew is perfection... you wouldn't know someone ever visited before you. Everything was immaculately clean. The kitchen has every amenity you would ever need. Blankets, linens, and towels were abundant. Our group had the most wonderful time... thank you Jeffrey and Trey for sharing your home with travelers. We enjoyed the added bonus of wildlife encounters each day as well! I am sharing the link to this property with everyone I know!

My family and I had an incredible stay at Gower’s Airbnb. Honestly, it was even nicer than I expected. This property offers a true California experience that’s incredibly hard to find. I’ve driven along Highway 1 many times, always thinking how amazing it would be to spend time on that beautiful coastal land you see from the road, and this property delivers exactly that. We had lunch and dinner overlooking sweeping views of untouched coastline and the beach below. There’s an easy path down to what felt like a private beach (we didn’t see another soul the entire time), and we spent hours exploring the black sand, walking the shore, and checking out the tide pools at low tide. The whole time, I kept thinking how rare and unspoiled this experience is. Gower has created an incredible home, thoughtfully designed with all the comforts you could want right in the middle of some of the most beautiful land in the world. We’re already talking about when we can come back.

Amazing location right by the lakeside and a beautiful well-equipped house. We could see ducks and swans coming out of the water onto the backyard right from the dining table! Would love to come here again. Thanks for being a great host, Barbara.

Beautiful home and surroundings. We couldn't have selected a better home for our weekend getaway. The home was comfortable and had everything we needed.

We had a wonderful time at Carolyn’s place. We loved spending a day on her deck overlooking the lake - so beautiful. We also took advantage of her fire table out front. She also had a sturdy fold out table for dining - we initially didn’t see it in the pictures but she actually had everything we needed to enjoy a full meal around a table. Bonus points that we could fold it away for more space when not using! Carolyn was also very responsive and checked in daily on how we were doing. Would love to come back!

We loved the place and the ducks were fun. Very rustic and perfect. I think stating turn right after Blackberry Ranch would have been helpful. We were on Hwy 128 back and forth going up roads, driveways etc for 2 hrs. We stopped people to ask, got out with flash on phone and tried calling to let them know we were so lost. GPS took us to the town of Yorkville and coordinates they sent took us further and ended us at a barn. It was so dark we could not see the Tadpole sign but went in each cottage until we found our name. Quite an experience. Love the place though. Great week-end for our anniversary.
