Family-friendly vacation rentals in Alameda County

Had a great and comfortable visit! Very quiet with a private entrance. Close to downtown in a great neighborhood. Friendly hosts. Definitely will stay here again in the future!

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful garden, responsive host, ample street parking. Definitely worth the price. Plus there's a hot tub you can use after the end of a long day or before the start of one like how we used. MINUTES away from bars, restaurants, and shopping in Oakland. Great location. Thank you so much for the comfortable stay!

I had a great 2 days stay so I could check out the Berkeley campus. The house was such a vibe to retreat to at the end of the day. I loved sitting at the table and they have the friendliest cat in the world that often walked me in and off the property and stopped by to say hello. Overall great experience!

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Laura’s place. The place was super cute and it was along a creek. We loved the eucalyptus trees and the greenery surrounding the cottage. We both enjoyed hot tub after a long day of exploring Berkeley nearby.

Felt like it was just lke my home accept they have a hot tub that I used almost every night during my stay also had a beautiful garden. Is very quiet and relaxing.

Beautiful Gem!! The place is definitely worth staying at. Great to relax and connect with nature. Everything was available at my fingertips and made my stay even more memorable. I can’t wait to visit again!

My daughter and I had a fantastic stay! The place was spotless, well-equipped with great amenities, and exactly as described. The garden and backyard truly stand out as it provided such a peaceful and safe atmosphere in a larger city. The host was also very friendly and made everything easy and comfortable. If we ever come back to the Bay Area, we will definitely stay again! ☺️

Charming and peaceful getaway. Enjoyed soaking in the hot tub, walking around the neighborhood, petting the cats, even being offered some Meyer lemons for my dinner. Very comfy bed, too! Just what I needed. Grateful for the respite.

We had a delightful stay for a long weekend attending a nephew's wedding. Wished we had more time just to hang out and enjoy the place, but it was a beautiful and relaxing home away from home to come back to in between dinners, the ceremony, and celebrations.

Ramil's place was located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood, yet still close enough to San Francisco that traveling back and forth throughout the day was easy to do. This location was also only 15-20 minutes away from the Oakland airport. If we return to the Bay area anytime in the near future, I'll definitely be looking at Ramil's place again!

This was a perfect place to decompress during a busy work trip. The space is beautiful, and the attached gym is such a nice treat! Everything was exactly as described, clean and lovely. I would definitely stay again!

I enjoyed my time at Audrey’s place. They are centrally located and the backyard is a beautiful place to work or unwind. Audrey, Jordie, and the pups were very friendly and hospitable. I would highly recommend their place for any guest visiting Oakland.

I stayed here for the weekend to visit my daughter who is attending Cal. The home was very comfortable and conveniently located to school as well as lots of excellent restaurants. It has a very nice view looking out towards the bay and a small balcony. There was ample street parking and easy access to the home. Cindy was very easy to communicate with and quite accommodating. I will definitely be staying here again!

I was in Danville to visit friends. I had time and easy opportunity to walk Iron Horse trail out their back gate to the downtown area and to enjoy the shops, restaurants and ambiance. The area is desirable for so many reasons and John's home and guest house is another pleasant part of that attraction. Thanks.

It was the perfect place for our family to gather over the holidays. Cozy but spacious with that back cottage providing a separate space for separate couple.

Thank you for another great stay at your beautiful place. I definitely will return.

This place was amazing! Super cute, great location, great host! I would definitely stay there again! Thank you!!

This was our 3rd stay here and as always it was amazing! Jenny is the most thoughtful host and we can’t wait to be back again soon!

Christine is a great host! Her descriptions and check in procedure work flawlessly and the apartment is perfect. For me the location was perfectly located between SF and Palo Alto, but if you need to be in SF frequently it may a little far off. The apartment community is great even with outdoor pool and gym I believe. Unfortunately I did not have the time to test it. There is a grocery store right next door which is very helpful. Highly recommended and would stay again!

Everything was perfect the house was amazing with its pool and hot tub… Everything mentioned was there but unfortunately the Air-conditioning wasn’t available for the first floor and the fans in the rooms where not enough for cooling. Lastly, Rahel the host was very welcoming and we had an easy check-in. Great communication she was very responsive to our notes…

We stayed at Sara's while visiting family nearby, but her home felt like a vacation in itself. The backyard is magical - we spent a fair amount of time there, swimming, grilling/dining, reading/napping. The backyard (and its myriad diversions) even lured our tech-obsessed teenagers away from their devices for extended periods. Everything was well maintained, no detail overlooked. We also enjoyed the access to a peloton bike and workout equipment. The interior was clean, organized, stylish but comfortable. The sunroom and small courtyard off of the bedrooms were great for yoga or stealing a quiet moment with a cup of coffee or book. Sara was responsive and attentive. Instruction booklet was clear and helpful. The stay exceeded our expectations. We hope to be back.

The Life House is an amazing property. Our small team came into town for a few conferences and Life House was a perfect place to lay our heads each night. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking a fun, open, inspiring space. Marky was a great host. He made sure everything was ready and quickly responded to any questions we had.

Leonid and Meytal's place was the perfect spot for our family (which includes a toddler and fur child as well). The location was great for visiting the city as well as several friends around the Bay Area. It's also located near a nice trail which was walking distance to a playground (score). Super communicative and also we are very grateful to have a local contact (our family member locked us out of the Airbnb, aghh) who was able to give us a spare key. The only thing is there is no microwave (but we got by just fine). Definitely recommend if you're looking for a Bay Area place for a visit.

If I could give a rating of 6 stars, I would. This is my go-place when I have to be in the Bay Area.....if it is available. Peaceful is amazing to work with. It has a great location, gated parking, very comfortable bed and more
