Lovely Cottage garden oasis w/Hot Tub near BART 🌹

KeaoRating, 5 stars3 months ago
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!

Traditional Japanese Tea House

MaryRating, 5 stars1 week ago
When we walked in, the tea house looked exactly like the pics! The soaking tub was amazing and felt great to relax in and the bed was ultra comfortable and I so want to get whatever mattress that is. This is also really close to The Greek if you’re looking for a place to stay after a concert/show. It was about a 1.5 mile walk or really quick uber ride if you don’t like walking.

Ocean Beach Bungalow

NovaRating, 5 stars4 days ago
Had a lovely stay and grateful for Melisa’s budget friendly airbnb making it easier to stay in the city. Ocean beach and golden gate park are walking distance and two of the most beautiful places in the city—if you’re wanting to escape people and also going to spend a lot of time out. This is a great place. Also nice sized bathtub! :):)

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!

BrookeRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We loved our time here! Not only were Darren and Laura wonderful hosts and communicators, but the property genuinely exceeded our expectations, the Airbnb was MORE beautiful in person than in the photos (hard to believe, I know), and the location of the neighborhood was incredible — high up on a hill of a beautiful and safe neighborhood. 😍 Only recommendation for future guests — book one extra day!! There is so much to do and such little time! We would’ve loved to have one more day to enjoy the Airbnb a little more. Would recommend to anyone and everyone!

Waterfront Marin Retreat with Pool & Hot Tub

AmandaRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago
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!

Greenwood Guest House, a Peaceful Oasis

BeckyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
My stay in Amy's home was relaxing, peaceful and comfortable. I loved the location - nested against the hills and so close to shops/restaurants. I loved walking the hills in the neighborhood and coming back to a quiet and comfortable space. You are in the backyard of the owners but they are friendly and respectful and the setting is idyllic.

Garden Oasis Suite with Spa and Pool, Walnut Creek

ColeenRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
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.

Tropical Garden Cottage +HOT TUB &POOL by Downtown

KatieRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
Description and pictures all matched. It was very private despite the main house being on-site. The hot tub was excellent and was so peaceful among pine and palm trees. Polina met us and showed us around. We did not use the pool but it was available. Bed, pillows and linens comfortable. We had very late nights due to our plans and felt easy and safe returning later at night. Parking on-site was appreciated.
