Family-friendly vacation rentals in Alameda County

The Zen Den was a perfect anniversary getaway. We live in SF, so we welcomed the sunshine on the porch. Deck is amazing. Views for days. House was extremely quiet, and we got plenty of rest. We even saw deer. Tracy was a great host, very responsive and even let us check out late (even though we were out at 11:15 😂) the house was clean and the location was safe. Which was nice cause we got in at night. We got some pastries from a local bakery and sat on the porch for a beautiful morning. Heads up coffee drinkers, bring your own coffee. There is a pot and filters but no grounds. No big deal, just ordered some in. Would stay here again for sure. Thanks for a great wedding anniversary celebration

Had a great and comfortable visit! Very quiet with a private entrance. Close to downtown in a great neighborhood. Friendly hosts. Definitely will stay here again in the future!

Quiet, peaceful, beautiful garden, responsive host, ample street parking. Definitely worth the price. Plus there's a hot tub you can use after the end of a long day or before the start of one like how we used. MINUTES away from bars, restaurants, and shopping in Oakland. Great location. Thank you so much for the comfortable stay!

Very quiet and peaceful setting for relaxation and reading and writing. Easy walking to a lot of good restaurants and public transport. Rainbow and Zan were easy to communicate with and facilitated an early check in which was helpful. Would stay here again!

We had a wonderful stay at the cottage! The garden is full of flowers and eucalyptus trees, and the spa is peaceful and private. The space is bright, very clean, and has all the amenities you could need. The bed was super comfortable and the comforter nice and warm. We especially loved the owner’s artwork displayed throughout the cottage—it adds such a personal touch. The hosts were incredibly responsive and kind. Tilden Park is just 10 minutes away and perfect for nature walks. We really enjoyed our time here and would absolutely come back!

Felt like it was just lke my home accept they have a hot tub that I used almost every night during my stay also had a beautiful garden. Is very quiet and relaxing.

We absolutely loved everything about Eurydice's space. So elegant in its simplicity, and clearly prioritizing coziness and livability. She's thought of so many touches that made it all the more welcoming: extra throws and blankets, a fan and heater in the closet in case you need a temperature adjustment, a night light in the bathroom, super comfy seating and bed. All this set in a gorgeous garden that's very convenient to public transportation and very walkable to boot. On top of all that, Eurydice was a great host: very responsive, warm, and welcoming, even though I never ran into her while we were there. This place really felt like home away from home, and the most difficult part was getting myself to leave! :)

We are local and booked Lori & Don’s place because we were having work done on our house and it was close to our home. I’m so glad we did! I’d give them a 10 star rating if I could. They were welcoming and kind, yet we felt we had our privacy. The amount of snacks, breakfast fixings that included fresh eggs, juices and waters were more than I’ve ever had at an Airbnb! We stayed 6 nights and loved it. Will definitely keep their charming place in mind, when we have out of town guests. Thank you, Don and Lori!!!!

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

Dennis & Tiiu's place was perfect for our needs. We stayed for a week while in town visiting our son, who lives only a few minutes away, so it was a perfect location for us. The location was peaceful and quite. The house was cozy and suitable for two people. It was a little smaller than it looked in the pictures but again, it worked for the two of us. The amenities were as described. We would definitely stay again.

This was a perfect place to decompress during a busy work trip. The space is beautiful, and the attached gym is such a nice treat! Everything was exactly as described, clean and lovely. I would definitely 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.

Cindy’s AirBnB in Berkeley was in a great location, quiet and with a beautiful view of the bay. The street it was on was narrow but parking was always available. The studio was spacious with a kitchen, fridge, cute mini toaster oven, and dining table. Cindy communicated well. We felt right at home and will certainly be back if available.

Cara's place was perfect! It's in a beautiful spot in the Berkeley hills. The apartment is spacious, well-decorated, and comfortable. The kitchen was (more than!) fully stocked and the apartment had anything one could need. Cara provided useful detailed instructions about the apartment and was around in case anything came up. I loved my stay and hope to be back sometime soon!

Thank you for another great stay at your beautiful place. I definitely will return.

Beautiful stay and wonderful hosts. The backyard was so dreamy I felt I was in a well manicured jungle. Great place for dogs especially.

Joshua's home is the perfect family stay in the bay area. It is ideal for all ages from very young to older as there is something to do for everyone in the area. The neighborhood is extremely walkable with many lovely restaurants and shops near by. The house has a very comfortable layout for a group and had everything we needed. communication with host was instantaneous.

If you have a chance to book one of Jenny's properties, I would encourage you to do so. Of all the hosts we have encountered, she is the best. The suite was spotless and thoughtfully appointed with everything someone could want during their stay. The grounds of her home were just beautiful, a welcomed retreat from the outside world. In addition, Jenny was an incredibly resposive host. She provided great recommendation and suggestions for our visit. She was also incredibly kind to my daughter. Thank you Jenny for your warmth in welcoming is to your home.

Christine is a great host! Her descriptions and check in procedure work flawlessly and the apartment is perfect. For me the location was perfectly located between SF and Palo Alto, but if you need to be in SF frequently it may a little far off. The apartment community is great even with outdoor pool and gym I believe. Unfortunately I did not have the time to test it. There is a grocery store right next door which is very helpful. Highly recommended and would stay again!

Everything was perfect the house was amazing with its pool and hot tub… Everything mentioned was there but unfortunately the Air-conditioning wasn’t available for the first floor and the fans in the rooms where not enough for cooling. Lastly, Rahel the host was very welcoming and we had an easy check-in. Great communication she was very responsive to our notes…

We stayed at Sara's while visiting family nearby, but her home felt like a vacation in itself. The backyard is magical - we spent a fair amount of time there, swimming, grilling/dining, reading/napping. The backyard (and its myriad diversions) even lured our tech-obsessed teenagers away from their devices for extended periods. Everything was well maintained, no detail overlooked. We also enjoyed the access to a peloton bike and workout equipment. The interior was clean, organized, stylish but comfortable. The sunroom and small courtyard off of the bedrooms were great for yoga or stealing a quiet moment with a cup of coffee or book. Sara was responsive and attentive. Instruction booklet was clear and helpful. The stay exceeded our expectations. We hope to be back.

We had a great time here. Agree with a lot of the other reviews. Super easy check in with door codes. Parking is $20 each 24 hours, I think first 2 hours are free. Easy electric charging with PowerFlex including what looked like fast chargers. The train blows its horn a little bit when coming by the apartment, but with our earplugs in at night we slept great. The Airbnb provides a pair of earplugs for free. The studio bedroom has sliding doors that were basically like blackout curtains. We had trouble locking the back balcony door but reached someone by phone within minutes and they walked us through how to lock it. Keurig with coffee pods provided. Tons of restaurants and a Walgreens within walking distance. Stanford short drive away. Amenities are great, accessible with a key card. Highly recommend this place. Better option than local hotels for the same price. One of the most beautiful luxury apartment buildings I’ve seen.

The Life House is an amazing property. Our small team came into town for a few conferences and Life House was a perfect place to lay our heads each night. Highly recommend it to anyone seeking a fun, open, inspiring space. Marky was a great host. He made sure everything was ready and quickly responded to any questions we had.

Nice furnished apt with good amenities and upscale Anton apartment complex.
