Vacation rentals with a fireplace in San Pablo Bay

Previous reviews mentioned train noise but the house was well insulated so it was very muted. Blackout blinds and double-glazed windows did their job. The Folgers coffee set up was excellent and they left creamers. Beds were new and clean. Seating was limited, but we are a couple. Everything worked, especially the heater, since it was cold. We will stay again when we visit family nearby.

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!

We chose this cottage for our former college roommates' 3-day getaway. It was exactly what we needed. Beautiful views, a hot tub, comfortable beds, and great amenities. Bright, cheerful, clean, and the wallpaper was fun. Lovely view off the back deck. David had many recommendations for food and things to do. The road up to the place was tight, especially in an SUV so we chose to venture out only in daylight. Check-in and check-out were easy. We loved our stay!

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!

Nice place with great SF views. Beautiful wood floors! Very helpful host and friendly. Good beds and a nice deck. We look forward to our next visit!

6 ladies were here to visit wine country! This place was perfect for us. Lots of space, close to wineries and restaurants. Cynthia’s communication was fantastic and she was helpful throughout our entire stay. We would definitely stay here again!!

Kevin and Catherine's place is exactly as pictured. They were incredibly responsive during our stay and went above and beyond to accommodate my twin infants. The outdoor amenities for kids were fantastic—super kid-friendly! We’d love to stay again.

I stayed at Hector’s place for three nights with my mom and son, and we had a lovely stay. From the start, Hector was very communicative, responding quickly to my questions and providing clear check-in instructions. The home was cute, spacious, and well-maintained—while some fixtures were a bit dated, everything was clean and had plenty of charm. The neighborhood felt safe and peaceful, with convenient access to shopping and restaurants. Overall, a great experience!

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

beautiful 1920s place!! furniture was very comfortable and was right by the bernal summit. loved our stay here!

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.

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.

Could not have been a more perfect place for a girls weekend in Napa! House was extremely clean. Easy to communicate with the host. Would definitely stay again!

Great place for a multi-generational gathering. There were many spaces to gather and the home is large enough to peel off for some quiet time. The outdoor spaces are lovely and private and the pool makes for a beautiful setting. The kitchen has plenty of glassware, dinnerware and flatware which makes feeding a crowd for several meals a day very do-able. Spring lake park is accessible by a path just up the road and the trail around the lake makes for a lovely walk/run. Folks enjoyed "practicing" their fishing techniques but didn't get a nibble. Proximity to Rossmoor community made this a very pleasant getaway with very little travel for our older parents.

Great, safe location! Big house with everything we needed for our large family of 7. Comfy beds, and lots of room to spread out and for the kids to play! Sam was an awesome host too! He helped us late night while we were dealing with an issue at another airbnb. He called us right away to connect, went over to the home and turned the heat on for our arrival, let us check out late since we came in so late, really saved the day on the bad experience we were having with another owner, and he was so friendly and helpful! We would definitely stay again and are so thankful to have found such an awesome host!!! AWESOME STAY!!!

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!

A beautiful, comfortable, spacey home on a magnificent and uniquely designed property. As a long-term Airbnb customer, this place ranked at the TOP for me and my family! Want to stay at somewhere special, in a neighborhood unique, with extraordinary comfort and special outdoor service and play? Book it! This home is SPECIAL! Perfectly priced, wonderfully managed by always-available staff and crew, this is now one of my favorites. Looking forward to returning!
