Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Castro Valley

Very nice, comfortable home. The home came with everything we needed, including a well equipped kitchen. The house was so close to everything and yet the neighborhood was indeed very peaceful. We really enjoyed our stay!

I always choose to stay at Emrehans when I need a place near San Jose. Very beautiful, clean home/yard, great location. Emrehan communicates well and has been very accommodating to me. Very good price for the stay. Would recommend.

Kit was a great host! She was with responses and the home was perfect for our family of four. We had no issues and will definitely stay here again when we visit our family in Alameda!

Wonderful place in a quiet location.

Our stay was absolutely wonderful! The home was peaceful and located in a quiet, friendly neighborhood with beautiful views. One of the biggest highlights was how welcoming they were to our pups. It made our stay even more enjoyable. Communication was excellent; they were always quick to respond to any questions we had. Overall, a fantastic experience, and we would definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay, will come back again.

Very comfortable apartment, Veronica was available and responded quick for all queries

Tim’s place was clean, comfortable, and well situated. The neighborhood is quiet, but and large. Bed/s are comfortable. My one complaint would be the downstairs neighbor was a bit noisy, but only on the last night. It sounded like they were having a party down there until 1am and I could smell weed emanating from below. Otherwise, I had a very peaceful stay.

An excellent address. The serene garden retreat is very cosy and comfortable extremely well situated. The owner is very nice and responsive. I recommend it highly

A very cozy place, loved the large windows and the fireplace. Comes with parking too, which is a big plus. Located in a great, quiet neighborhood that's a 15ish minute walk from UC Berkeley (the stadium and Haas in particular). Had a great stay overall, would highly recommend!

This was an excellent apartment to stay at for my wife and I for a few nights. It was a very clean, quiet environment up in the hillsides of Marin County. Driving up the hill was a little challenging at times but that’s just expected for the area. The host was very informative from the start and had all the necessary amenities needed. Having the whole downstairs unit was very nice. However, did hear the people above us a lot yet wasn’t too much of a bother since it was just a place to stay while we went out exploring the Bay Area. Would definitely recommend if visiting for a couple days!

Everything as described. Well-stocked kitchen, perfectly capable of cooking meals. Lots of space. ~15 min walk to Berkeley Bowl, which is a great place to pick up groceries. Some reviews mention hearing footsteps overhead; there is an apartment overhead, and the sound is about as loud as you would expect for living in a lower-level apartment. Joe is very quick to respond to questions, which reduces any issues that might come up. I had some problem with the WiFi, and Joe replied quickly to help me troubleshoot the issue. Overall a smooth experience.

This is the best Airbnb I have ever seen. I booked this for my friends that were visiting the Bay Area for the first time. They loved staying at Renzo's 'Gem #1' home! I will not ruin all of the surprises that come with staying at this property. Such a great stay and host!

Heidi’s place is one of my best air b n b experiences. Her house is clean comfortable, snacks and cookware made for an easy transition. The apartment was beautifully furnished and thoughtfully designed. It really feels like she cares about her guests and their experience. The unit is quiet and parking was always right in front. Really nice cafe nearby. Laundry mat was clean and easy to get a machine on the weekdays. I live in oakland but needed a place to stay for a month and it was a mini vacation staying by the lake. A few times I ran into Heidi as she was out walking her dog, she is a joy.

Jonathan's place was truly like home. We particularly appreciated the full kitchen, well-equipped, which enabled us to cook several meals rather than always eating out (although the neighborhood has many interesting ethnic restaurants). The beds were comfy -- both had reading lights -- and screens in both bedrooms and the living room.

I stayed here for a month and it was great, I highly recommend! As described and seen in the pictures. Annie was helpful and ensured I had everything I needed. I think this apartment is perfect for 1-2 people with a child or small/medium-sized pet. Clean and cozy with nice, warm lighting. The bed was comfy, kitchen was small but well-equipped, living room was roomy with a medium-sized couch, and bathroom more than sufficient. I loved relaxing on the deck as well! The neighborhood is hilly and beautiful, close to bus/ferry/restaurants/stores. Touristy downtown, but not as much in the immediate vicinity. I walked A LOT with my dog and enjoyed it, but the hills can be steep! Definitely a very safe area. The only “con” is, in my opinion, it’s just a bit expensive for the size. However, I understand it’s in a pretty wealthy neighborhood and am sure Airbnb fees/taxes account for a decent part of the cost. Suffice to say, this is a once-in-a-long-while stay for me. Hopefully that’s fair.

This place was absolute amazing! We rented it for my daughter sweet 16 with a few of her friends. They paddle boarded and swam. Had the best time ever. Absolutely recommend this place to everyone!

everything was super nice, only thing was the charger didnt work which was very bummed out, but overall house is super spacious and nice, plenty of room for family and friends! mason was helpful & communicative!

Great communication - amazing house!!! We had such a great time. Awesome to work with and so helpful and could not have been better. We’ll definitely be back.

Once you open the door, you are transplanted into a space where a breath is taken and a breath is held. If you are seeking a calmness, this home is the one. Pride of ownership is evident in the furnishings, personal touches and in the whole home itself. Didn’t want our stay to end.

Had an amazing stay at Gina’s house for a girls retreat weekend. The house is amazing with really good vibes! Kitchen was fantastic for cooking group meals and overall could not have asked for a better place!

Beautiful home and great place for us to gather with our children and grandchildren. We would definitely come back. A great time was had by all. Communication was great and check in seamless.

My two adult daughters and myself had a quick overnight stay in San Jose and this place was perfect! Clean! Comfy beds! Plenty of room! We stayed in the third floor suite which had a kitchen and a sweet little reading nook. We will definitely book again when heading through San Jose!
