nice spot to relax with family
Great place, kitchen was very well-equipped, comfortable beds, sparkling clean. Next time we'll come in the summer so we can get more enjoyment from the beach - but it was a cozy spot even for a stormy winter weekend.

Spacious and peaceful gathering space for family
Being close to the walking paths along the beach and having indoor and outdoor space to gather with family members was just what we needed. Comfortable beds, ease of parking, and proximity to Alameda's great restaurant scene made this a great choice for us! I highly recommend this property.

Great place
The house was very nice and very clean. We enjoyed some fresh fruit from the trees in the backyard. The location is great. We were able to take some awesome sunset pictures at the beach one evening and use of the beach stuff was really nice.

Perfect stay!
The Beachhouse was the perfect spot for me and my family. The rooms are spacious and super clean. The host was extremely accessible and hospitable. The kitchen was well stocked. We used the beach chairs for the beach nearby. It was truly a perfect stay!

The perfect place
We totally enjoyed our stay at the beach house. I loved the private sitting areas in both the front of the house to have morning coffee. And the back of the house to relax after a fun day. Loved the tall table for games! They thought if absolutely everything. Can’t thank you enough for sharing this awesome home!! Highly recommend this home!!!!

Family Visit
This was the perfect location for our family to stay while visiting our extended family on the island. If the weather had cooperated, it would have been a perfect spot to take a walk down the beach. Still, it had most everything needed for cooking and relaxing. They have toys and books for all ages. Super clean, feels like home away from home.

Easy, clean, perfect stay
We stayed as a family of 4 that included a 5 year old and a 10 year old. This house was perfect - clean, plenty of room, and the kids were excited to find the shelves of board games and book case of books . There was something for everyone.

Great spot!
Had a great time at the Beach House - comfy beds, spotless, had all the amenities including coffee which was essential after a very late arrival! Lots of games - corn hole, basketball, board games and bikes. Perfect location close to shopping and Northeastern@Mills. Highly recommend - Lisa was a great host!!

Nice hang out spot close to the beach.
I recently stayed at this amazing VRBO property that was an absolute gem! The location was unbeatable, just steps away from the beach, allowing us to enjoy the sun, sand, and surf whenever we pleased. The house itself was well-equipped with plenty of seating space for hanging out, cooking, and dining. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals, and the dining area and hangout spots were perfect for relaxing and enjoying time with friends and family. The cozy and inviting atmosphere of the property made our stay truly memorable. I would highly recommend this VRBO to anyone looking for a perfect beach getaway with all the comforts of home!

Beautiful Beach House!
This home was a perfect stay for our family of 6. We were up in the bay visiting friends and this home in Alameda exceeded our expectations! Home was beautiful and accommodated all our needs. Just steps away from the beach. Very nice neighborhood as well. Lisa was very communicative and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again on our next Bay Area trip.

This is a beautiful, spacious home a short walk from the beach. We could go for easy walks in the mornings and the evenings. The house was perfect with everything we needed and the owners were very responsive. There is a shopping center nearby with everything you could need. Beautiful sunrise and sunset.

Great, but keys were not in the lockbox and had to wait for the owner to bring us keys for the house AND then GARAGE DOOR opener did not work needed batteries. He bought the wrong batteries and finally brought the right batteries but overall the home wad spacious and modern

Best VRBO Ever!
You would think there was not much to add after so many positive reviews have already been posted, but this was by far the best VRBO experience we have ever had. The place is clean, beautifully decorated but not so fancy you would worry about something breaking, less than a block to the very long walking path along the shore, with very comfortable beds. The shelves are full of a selection of interesting and well-curated books to read on vacation plus children’s books for all ages and an enormous number of games to choose from. The kitchen is so well stocked and sunny. During our stay, even the washer and dryer were amazingly clean with no smell of mold nor fragranced laundry products. Plus, there was a drawer with all the things you might suddenly wish you had (including scotch tape, all kinds of batteries, screwdrivers and non-prescription reading glasses). I did not want to leave, and hope to return later this year.

Excellent host. Great place!
The house is great! Clean, great space and has everything you need. Lisa is a wonderful host. She has thought of several small things that make a difference and are not found at all vrbo rentals: toilet paper, paper towels, coffee, beach towels, shampoo, conditioner and body wash, hand soap in bathrooms! The work station desk has 2 monitors and a docking station..it was great! Lisa even offered to get a beach volleyball for the kids and they played every day. The only thing that could be updated is the living room couch..its a bit worn but still perfectly functional. The house is a short walk directly to beach access. The sand volleyball is further down though. Great sidewalks and bike paths along the water! The location is good with easy access to Oakland airport, downtown Oakland and Jack London Square. It was nice to have a garage and we loved the fresh lemons from the tree out back! Would definitely recommend this rental.
