Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Lake Merritt

Clean, cool little cottage Good neighborhood. Lot's of thingw to do within walking distance

Suzanne made our stay extremely easy and enjoyable! The house is lovely, the bed was very comfortable and had two nice reading lights and plenty of space to put our clothes in the dresser and the closet. The bathroom shower worked great and had everything we needed. I also liked that there was a rolling cart we could keep our toiletries. Suzanne had a kitchen with delicious coffee and let our daughter bring by milk and a few snacks before we arrived. We accidentally broke a cup one morning and were happy to pay to replace it but Suzanne told us not to worry about it, which we really appreciated. All her instructions were clear and she was very responsive. We expect to stay there again on our next visit to see our daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law.

Nicole's place was absolutely stunning, loved the decor. I would recommend this place to anyone staying or wanting be near San Francisco. Thank you for a great 2 days.

We absolutely adored our stay at this property! The home was impeccably clean and tidy, which immediately made us feel comfortable and welcome. Every amenity we could have needed was thoughtfully provided, adding to the warm and inviting atmosphere. It truly felt like a cozy haven—after long days of exploring, coming back to this space was such a joy. We rested wonderfully here, thanks to the peaceful and homely environment. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a comfortable, well-equipped stay that feels just like home. Many thanks to our host for creating such a lovely space!

Even before leaving home for our trip, Michelle was wonderful! She answered our questions prior to booking. Communication with her was very helpful and easy. We highly recommend her cottage and hope to stay with her again in the future. The location is very easy to get to off of the highway. It was very convenient for visiting our UC Berkeley student. Street parking was available nearby. Her property is private, secure, and quiet. We felt very much at home and welcomed by her. Her cottage had everything we needed and more. The cottage is exactly as pictured in her listing. Michelle’s place is bookmarked for us for future stays!

We really enjoyed our stay at Madison’s place. The location is great with lots of restaurants and shops nearby, as well as close proximity to Lake Merritt. The house was clean and comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked and we were able to enjoy several home made meals. We visit Oakland often and would definitely stay again.

I was so glad to meet Julienne and experience Alameda. I hope I will be there again soon.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at your apartment. Very spacious and looked exactly like the photos. Your assistance with the questions I had about the area was extremely helpful and very useful during our visit.

Incredible spot. Lots of space for Alameda, new amenities and very clean. All we could ask for and more!

This was my second stay at Sheila’s property and I would certainly come back again. It is a charming and unusual space with interesting design but also is convenient and comfortable. The private patio outside the unit is a nice feature in mild weather and also allows getting lots of fresh air inside by leaving the door ajar when you are inside. The location one block from Piedmont Avenue means that you can easily walk to dozens of shops and restaurants or just stroll and watch people going by. Everything is literally at your doorstep.

The place was very nice. We have kids & grandkids in the Bay Area and like to visit as often as possible. The place was clean and comfortable but most of all very welcoming. And Ramil reached out to make sure our needs were met. If the need arises we would definitely stay there again

Hello all, I am a traveling nurse on a stent at the hospital down the street and this space was just perfect for my boyfriend and I. He works from home and this was a wonderful little writer's nook. The space is lovely, well equipped and neighborhood is very walkable. Close to many bars, restaurants and coffee shops. Easy walk to Piedmont or Grand Lake areas. The hostess is super responsive and accommodating. Do be aware, that the check-in time listed at the bottom is no joke- the building management does not allow check-in's past about 9:00 pm. I had failed to read the small print at the bottom of the listing, but all worked out ok for us- the hostess was so wonderful for helping us out, I just don't want anyone else to be surprised last minute :) 10/10 recommend this place and would stay again!

Urban oasis is the perfect description for this residence. So quiet. Restful, verdant backyard patio (blooming Angel Trumpets were heavenly scented!), sweet dogs and comfortable and attractive furnishings. Was able to cook my breakfast every morning and easily heat up leftovers with well-outfitted kitchen and high-end appliances. Loved how eco-friendly the home is. Murphy bed in the living room was perfect. Walkable restaurants nearby - esp. Homeroom's mac & cheese! Loved everything about this place. We will definitely stay here again when visiting relatives nearby.

Very cute spot in Adams Point, within walking distance to many fantastic restaurants along the lake. Shimmy was a responsive and friendly host. The place itself is adorable and was plenty of space for 2 people.

Great location! Chase was very nice and her place is very roomy and clean. I would stay there again next time I am in town.

This visit was our second time here. The apartment is attractive, modern with comfortable spaces and furniture. We found the location to be perfect for our needs, and also enjoyed its proximity to a park, a hiking trail, as well as the beautiful yard outside the kitchen door

Absolutely loved the place! The stay was fantastic the host was very responsive, and the instructions provided were clear, thorough, and incredibly helpful

Great location, street parking was pretty easy, very comfortable & clean place

Very convenient location, easy walk to UC Berkeley. Even though it's near a busy intersection, it felt very quiet and peaceful. The unit is much more spacious than I was anticipating and it was nice to have a complete kitchen. Al is a very kind and responsive host. I would definitely recommend!

Very happy with the stay. Nader was communicative, location was safe and location great to airport and city. Would definitely stay here and recommend this place!

Amy met me to give me the keys and walked me through the condo to explain everything. It was a very personal approach. She also reached out to me the first morning to make sure everything was to my satisfaction. Everything was spotless and very high end. The place was very quiet and peaceful. I especially enjoyed the patio. I would highly recommend Amy's place to anyone looking for a base to enjoy San Francisco. I intend to stay again the next time I need a place in San Francisco for a few days.

We had a fantastic time. The view was second to none, with easy access to the beach and restaurants. Kitchen was clean and had everything we needed. Great coffee shop within walking distance (albeit with a decent hill). We happened to stay when whales were just off the coast and saw them from the shore. Could not have asked for a better day. For those with mobility issues - you do need to climb about 10 narrow steps to get to the tram, which lets you skip the rest of the stairs. But there is no way around those first steps. Would absolutely come back.

had a fantastic stay at this Airbnb! The location was perfect—just a 5-minute commute to work, which made my if so much easier. The space was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed for a relaxing stay. The hosts were incredibly friendly and kind, as well as very understanding & above all accommodating.always available if I had any questions and genuinely made me feel welcome. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a convenient and pleasant stay in the area. Would definitely book again!

Ehson's place was a little haven during our stay in San Francisco, located in a wonderful neighborhood. As with any old building, you might hear the upstairs neighbors sometimes, but it's all absolutely worth it for the view and the cozy atmosphere. The sunset from the rooftop terrace is addictive. It’s a great spot: you can walk everywhere, and the cable car is right there. There’s also a great little grocery store on the corner, and plenty of restaurants and bars nearby.
