Pet-friendly vacation rentals in Oakland

Our stay at Lori and Mike’s place was absolutely fantastic, and Lori truly made it unforgettable. While Mike was away on a trip, Lori went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—and more. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so welcome. She was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in creating a comfortable, personalized experience. She checked in with us just enough to make sure we were all set and shared amazing local tips that really made our trip extra special. Her kindness, attention to detail, and friendly energy made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Thank you so much, Lori—you’re truly one of a kind!

Madis place was exactly as described and very spacious with comfy beds. We requested early check in, which Madi agreed to at a readonable cost. There are many apartments within the location and finiding out where the actual building was was a bit confusing but once we got to the apartment we were fine. We did not use the amenities listed. It was a short commute to Stanford so served us well for the graduation weekend.

We booked this place for a family staycation to spend a long weekend doing nothing but relaxing. This place exactly fit the bill. The hot tub was amazing, the pool was lovely and clean. Our little daughter thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. The place was clean and well appointed with amenities. Best of all, when we realized we might end up arriving earlier then check in time, Alex promptly set us up to arrive a while hour and a half before time!

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!

Had an excellent stay with our family. Will is one of the best airbnb hosts we have ever had and would stay again at this home or any other home he hosts without hesitation. The cactus home is luxurious and has amazing amenities like heated bathroom floors, great outdoor space with pool and hot tub, and a well equipped kitchen.

We enjoyed our stay so much. The deck and view were so beautiful. The home was spacious, clean and well stocked. The location was perfect for the places we wanted to visit and the neighborhood was quiet. We already want to go back!

Gorgeous setting, spacious, well appointed. Great space with views of redwoods throughout. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. They really thought of everything when setting up this place. The trails across the street are phenomenal, as are the neighborhood views. The village is a 5 min drive and one of my favorite little east bay pockets. We hope to return!

Nelson was super responsive and helpful, the space is beautiful, all the amenities were great, and my friends and I had the best time for my birthday weekend!

Even more beautiful in person. Loved this home!! It was very spacious and perfect for a big family. Everything was neat & lots of convenient amenities!! Host was quick to reply with any questions & very friendly too. Was a little skeptical about the surrounding neighborhood but we didn’t run into any issues at all. Family & dogs felt right at home!!

We stayed in the upstairs unit which was bright & comfortably furnished. There is a cute outdoor space behind the house which is shared by guests in both units.

Gabrielle’s place was exactly what I needed for a peaceful get away from the city. It looked exactly as it did in pictures but so much more beautiful up close and personal. The personalized touches and friendly reminders were so well thought out and complimentary to my stay. Gabrielle was friendly and helpful; always responding with kindness and respect. I highly recommend this place for a wonderfully quaint and peaceful getaway.

Awesome space in a very versatile area. Wish I could have stayed longer because it was a great base for all the things I was looking to do in the area. Will stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay and the surrounding area. We will definitely book again the next time we visit :)

My boyfriend and I were in Berkeley for a weekend celebrating my friend’s wedding, and The Peacock Room was the perfect retreat for us, with enough space to rest, hang out, and store/heat up some leftovers. It’s a really cool space with a ton of personality and quirky design, and is nestled in a quiet building complex that is centrally located and feels very private. Checking in and checking out was a breeze, and Erin was very responsive. There were a few ants in the bathroom when we arrived, but Erin brought some spray to use, and they weren’t a problem at all after that. Highly recommend the Peacock Room!

This place is great! very nice and very cute! the tub outside was amazing!

Andria’s place was great. Pictures do not do it justice .i have never seen a kitchen so equipped and high end appliances. The view is fabulous the yard is great the home is very comfortable and close to restaurants. Great sunsets.and very private and quiet. Never heard the traffic like others have noted.

My family and I had a great stay at Chad’s place. The place is adorable and the plants in the backyard are gorgeous! We appreciated how friendly and responsive Chad was. Two people stayed on the bed and two stayed on the couch, which folds out. The couch and bed are all in the same room.

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

Great stay. Wasn’t super conducive to working out of, but if you are visiting for vacation then it’s convenient and safe.

This cottage is a little gem in a desirable part of the city. The upstairs sleeping loft is spacious and well laid out with plenty of closet and drawer space. We loved the thoughtful touches like high-quality coffee, a bottle of wine, extra sheets and towels, and attractive decor and books. Host Johnny was very responsive to our questions about the heating unit and fixed it right away. Not a problem for the physically agile, but guests should be aware that the outdoor side entrance is maybe 24 inches wide, and that the steep loft stairs are necessary to navigate to use the bathroom. Overall, a wonderful stay with a kind and thoughtful host!

It was a clean and cozy space good for 1-2 people, all amenities as advertised. Tanya was great at responding in a timely manner whenever a a question/issue came up. I also got to briefly meet her dogs, which was a fun bonus:) I will mention, there is no climate control in the Airbnb; not a big deal, just something to be aware of when booking. There are extra blankets, an electric fireplace, and a little heater if it gets too cold, but I was actually in town over an unseasonably warm weekend so my way of cooling off the space was just opening the windows once it got nice enough out. There was a large fan under the bed to help circulate air as well if you want

Rebecca was a very thoughtful host. She thought of everything! Extra blankets, tp, towels, and coffee! I don’t understand how so many air bnb hosts don’t think of coffee?

Laura’s place was amazing. I usually stay at hotels especially whenever I have my youngest son (15 yrs old) with me, but we wanted to try something different. I had questions about the area since I’ve never been to Oakland before and being that she was also from Chicago made me feel comfortable asking and trusting her opinion. Her opinion was 100% accurate. We were visiting my older son who plays pro baseball for the local team - Oakland Ballers. I wanted to be in a safe quiet area and her place provided that, along with only being 11 min from the ball park. The amenities were great and her communication whenever I had any questions were quick and responsive. I plan to possibly come back to visit my son before his baseball season is open and I would definitely be looking to book Laura’s beautiful place again. Thanks Laura!!!

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