Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Castro Valley

We selected this property to accommodate our large group and were thoroughly impressed. The spacious layout offered excellent comfort for everyone, while the beautiful backyard provided a perfect gathering space. Kate's responsiveness as a host was exceptional - she quickly addressed all our questions and requests throughout our stay. We wouldn't hesitate to book it again when hosting future guests.

Such a nice, secluded hideaway! The view was as amazing as it was peaceful. My family had a great time.

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.

We were very pleased with our stay, Beautiful home, felt right at home. I will definitely keep this information for future visits in the area.

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.

This was our second time staying at Tara and Reid's listing while travelling for work. Which speaks volumes of how great their listing and location is, on Potrero Hill! The photos are exactly what it looks like; I'm almost reluctant to shout this out for fear that it'll be booked our next time we visit SF again.

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 is such a lovely studio. Super comfy and spotless. The bed is very comfy, the kitchenette was just right for making a quick breakfast, and I loved the deck - could have lounged on the deck chairs for days enjoying the sun and the view. The neighborhood is gorgeous. Quiet but inviting, with some very impressive architecture, and several fantastic little local parks. Everything is pretty steep in the area, and it makes you feel like you're in a different world from the rest of the city. Jan was very responsive and helpful, and we had exactly the relaxing weekend we needed.

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.

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.

My friends and I stayed at Seaon’s home for about a week and we felt right at home. It was a cozy spot with a beautiful outdoor porch and garden to hang out in. There was enough beds for four adults and a baby. Seaon was very easy to communicate with and also responsive when we discussed anything regarding the house. The neighborhood was fairly quiet during our stay which is always nice. We drove to Oakland, San Francisco, and parts of wine country from the house and found it to be in a good central location. I highly recommend this spot if you are looking for somewhere to stay with your group.

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!

Another wonderful stay in this beautiful and welcoming home. We look forward to returning whenever it’s available!

Great stay! The place was clean, cozy, and just as pictured. The host was friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend!
