Alameda Beachhome
Lisa was great at communicating with me and answered all my questions. The location was peaceful and had a beautiful view of the ocean. The apartment was nicely decorated and very clean. There was everything that I needed for a nice, relaxing weekend. The area was very close to restaurants and grocery stores, which was very convenient! Overall had I had a great stay and enjoyed the location. Itās a great place to be when visiting the Bay Area.

Room on the Lagoon
The host is warm and friendly. The location of the house is just by the lake, with beautiful scenery. It's very close to Safeway and CVS, making life very convenient.I'll definitely stay again when I get the chance.

Nest by GLK #302 - 2BR/2BA condo on Lake Merritt
The space, neighborhood, and host are all great. All questions and requests were quickly responded to, and everything about the place was intuitive and comfortable. Lots of great cooking gear so I didn't have to Doordash meals all week. Thanks, May!

Artsy 2BD Loft, Pool & H/tub
Our stay in this premium apartment with three young children was truly memorable. A dedicated parking space was a significant plus in Oakland. Beyond that convenience, the apartment felt like a resort, boasting a full suite of amenities including a pool and game room. The interior was equally impressive, offering a soothing ambiance thanks to the surrounding trees. The unique duplex layout, featuring a double-height living room and bedroom, was a highlight(truly unique to me). To top it off, the loft's piano brought unexpected excitement to our kids.

Remodeled in 2020-Large deck w/ spa & ping pong!
Our family has rented several homes on the water in Discovery Bay and by far this is one of our best experiences. Host (Amy) was incredible, house was beautiful, super quiet, and we all felt like it was our home - versus a rental. Just canāt say enough!

Waterfront with HUGE Backyard
We loved staying at Corria's place. Itās 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). Itās 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 thereās 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). - Thereās an old dock out back - itās a bit rickety, so be cautious and watch kids. All in all, great location & highly recommended!

Remodeled Lakeview Oasis W/Pontoon Boat. ~ 3k sqft
Jonathanās Place was a wonderful vacation home! We felt relaxed and had a great time spending the weekend with our family and friends. There was plenty of space for everyone to gather, cook meals, and get ready for our outdoor adventures. Being right on the water was a fantastic bonus. Jonathan was a gracious host and kindly offered to rent his pontoon boatāalthough we ended up not needing it since we took day trips, we really appreciated the gesture. We did enjoy using the paddle board and the foosball table, which added to the fun. The kitchen was stocked well enough for preparing basic meals, and it was easy to find nearby shops. We also ordered takeout one night, which worked out perfectly. Overall, it was a great stayāweād definitely recommend it!

The Boathouse - Family Friendly with Water Toys
This house was perfect for Memorial Day Weekend. Lots of space, a huge deck, and lots of sleeping space. The open floor plan was so nice! We loved this house and would definitely stay here again. Thank you.

Majestic Manor in Alameda Gold Coast *Water View*
We were very happy with this house. The location was peaceful, beautiful and close to fun shops and restaurants. The house was very spacious for our large group of extended family. Some stuff was a little worn, as is expected in an airbnb, but overall we really enjoyed our stay and would go back!

* Large Updated Waterfront Delta Manor Boat Dock *
Cindy is an amazing host, she is so responsive and easy to work with. Her home is beautiful and we love staying here!

Lagoon Living Offsite + Family Retreat!
I hail from Boston and traveled to the Bay Area so as to have a memorial service for my husband. We again stayed at this beautiful home and were again entranced by its charm and perfection. My deepest gratitude for sharing your beautiful home with me and my family. This experience has allowed us to share hugs, kisses, laughter, love, prayers, and tears in the most memorable way. When I had a question or a need, I received immediate attention and resolution. The home is pristine, blissful with its waterfront location and views, and catered to all ages of my family members. The children loved the grassy, expansive lawns while the adults gathered in the vast living spaces and around the large firepit to share memories. DROdio was kind to pay me a visit and a hug to express his condolence and that was heartwarming. Our stay couldn't be more perfect and I can't say enough about the magnificence of staying at this home!
