Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Lake Merritt

Beautiful place with a beautiful view. It’s exactly what you see in the photos.

Really enjoyed my stay here. The host was very flexible and responsive. I had to make several changes and she was so understanding and nice. The place itself was really comfortable and clean.

We really loved staying at Soa's place.

This place really lives up to its name - Urban Oasis. It should have the word paradise added to the description. I was looking for a place to host international guests and wanted a place which they could rest and have some privacy as they recovered from jet lag. As a local resident, I found it hard to believe that such a beautiful location existed so close by. The backyard reminded me of Hawaii. It was so beautiful and serene. Albena has gone above and beyond with all her unique decorative touches, supplies for the home (from phone chargers to best selling books). We used the kitchen quite a bit and it was stocked with pots, lots of dishes, and cooking utensils and supplies. Albena was so warm and friendly and super responsive and had some great tips for what to do. I even learned a few new things. My guests would have been happy to just stay in the home and enjoy it rather than venturing out to SF. I've already recommended this place to friends. It's so delightful!

Noah's house is in a lovely section of North Berkeley — close to some great restaurants, groceries, and interesting shops on Solano Avenue (about a 10 minute walk). We needed a respite from the dog our daughter is fostering, and this well-maintained, peaceful home was perfect. We were able to get our work done (fast, reliable internet), go for walks, and recharge. Thank you, Noah!

We had wonderful time at Heather and Steven’s home. Both are just great host’s, very helpful and proactive, communication was just quick and great. The home was easy to find and everything was as described. The location is fantastic, short walks the grocery stores, Bart and nice cafes. We are locking forward to our next stay with Heather and Steve and can just highly recommend this location.

Comfortable, quiet, peaceful.

We had a great stay at Susie’s Airbnb, it really felt like a true home away from home. The neighborhood was easy to explore and lots to do.

Wonderful place to stay. Great hiking right out the door and delicious restaurants very close! Natalie and Eugene made everything very easy and the place was spotless. Hope we’ll come back some day!

A gem of a space, spent 6 relaxing days enjoying the sound of waves, the wind and watching Karl move in and out. Thank you Yeshi for being an amazing host and human being 🙏

Had to extend a stay in Berkeley at the last minute and this listing was perfect. No hassle, comfortable, great location and beautiful garden. Appreciated it was small dog friendly.

Good location, easy to check in late. I'm glad they provided fans since it gets warm during the day but cooled down rapidly when we got back.

Our AirBnb stay was wonderful - great location, super walkable but still on a private/quiet road. We would highly recommend staying here! The place was clean and comfortable.

Very cozy little apartment, we had a good time. The location is calm. Some things in the apartment are a bit old and could need some repair, but it’s all functional.

We loved our stay at Jan’s place in Berkeley. The space was great for our trip. We absolutely loved the deck and hot-tub. We spent most evenings sitting out there for hours! You also can’t beat the views of the bay! Overall, such a wonderful stay, we would for sure go back and recommend to all our friends and family.

Ottoline’s place was safe, comfortable, peaceful, and clean. It was perfect for our weekend in the area. Otto was very helpful and responsive, and the place itself had everything we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and kitchen was great to make food from the Whole Foods nearby. I would highly recommend.

The place was definitely worth the price. The hosts are kind enough to allow guests to use almost all spaces in the home, including a fully stocked kitchen and a balcony with an amazing view.

Our two families had such a nice time out by the pool, grilling and fishing off the dock. Thank you Sherry!

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.

Beautiful neighborhood. Many walkable trails and parks with access to the Bay Trail. House is large and comfortable (great beds) and spotlessly clean. Large private backyard and very close to the tennis/pickle ball courts and pool. Only complaint is that the kitchen was not well stocked for our two week stay. We needed to borrow cooking implements and equipment from our son who lives in the area. But overall, a wonderful property and would not hesitate to return.

Our family had the most incredible weekend at Gina's beautiful home! First of all, a HEATED POOL makes all the difference, huge plus! We loved spending time in the backyard with so many beautiful outdoor areas to hangout with family, including your own private dock with a kayak! We were a little bummed the outdoor firepit wasn't working because we loved being outside so much but maybe next time. We hope to come back soon! We loved the big wooden table and big cozy couch for all 8 of us to enjoy time eating meals and playing games together! It was super convenient to have the grocery store just 6 minutes down the road as well. She was also extremely accommodating which made the stay even better!

The house, especially the backyard, and the neighborhood in which it is situated, are stunningly beautiful. While guests do not have access to the master bedroom, the price for the rest of the house is well worth it.

Beautiful place to stay.
