A peaceful, comfortable Oakland retreat with panoramic San Francisco Bay views

We really had a wonderful time here. The view is incredible, the apt cozy with every amenity, with thoughtful tips and easy communication with the host. 10 minutes to downtown Oakland, easy parking. We never made it into the hot tub, but the backyard gardens are beautiful.

We cannot say enough good things about the house. It truly was like a home away from home. Dee thought of everything. Example, night lights, paper products, fully stocked with kitchen equipment, lovely towels and the nicest sheets. The beds are comfortable. Plenty of closet space. I just loved the little sitting area in main bedroom. Also, the sweet scent of the flowers from the beautiful gardens outback. I could go on and on.The house was so spacious and SPOTLESS. I'd like to know her secret to her streakless windows. The washer and dryer worked great. The fridge with ice maker was very cold.The view is spectacular. We spent most nights out there while cooking on the grill and relaxing on the comfortable furniture. Parking was no problem.Dee was extremely friendly and answered questions within minutes. We will certainly try to book this lovely home if we return to Oakland.

This is an excellent property for extended stays with full amenities & an awesome view of the Oakland & San Francisco skylines! The neighborhood is safe, quiet & walkable (if you can manage some hill work)!

Lovely home. It is very clean and feels spacious. Comfy beds, nice neighborhood and incredible views of San Francisco. Dee is a wonderful host and we hope to stay here again!

Home was clean, and the host was very communicative. The views from the back deck are gorgeous!!! We enjoyed our stay, and when in the area, we would love to stay here again!

Our host was incredible. Great communication and willingness to help out if we needed anything- which we did not as she had already provided everything we could need. The house is beautiful and very comfortable. The decor is fabulous and every room, nook & cranny were made for visual and physical comfort. The view! Amazing and such a gift at the end of long days. We’re already trying to figure out when we can come back! We highly recommend this property and host.

Exceeded expectations in terms of home, amenities and check-in. Stunning views, comfortable beds and sweet residential neighborhood. Host thought of everything! Truly a home away from home. Easy access to highway for travel all around the Bay Area, too!

This is the perfect property for us when we visit family in the area. The home provides all the necessary accommodations & features to make you feel welcome & comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, safe & friendly. The hosts, Dee & Kevin are the absolute best in ensuring you have pretty much everything you need to feel at home away from home! You won’t be disappointed!

We had an amazing stay in this beautifully appointed home! From the comfortable Tempurpedic beds, plush bedding to the amazing views from the 3rd story deck overlooking lush gardens and the city skyline, to the retro kitchen, this was an amazing place to call home! The convenience of entering on street level, but having such a high 3rd floor perch overlooking the city was impressive!We cannot say enough about our amazing host, Dee, and her husband Kevin, who were extremely helpful in answering all of our questions and for providing guidance on local shopping., in addition to having a binder full of area attractions. We felt right at home, and will certainly stay here again!!!

This place has the best view of San Francisco—absolutely stunning! The retro vibe is really cool, and the beds are super comfy. Everything was clean and well cared for. Big thank you to Dee, the manager—she was awesome and made everything easy. Would definitely stay here again!

We really enjoyed this rental. It was very well stocked with everything we needed. The view was magnificent!I also have to say the quality of paper products was exceptional! See - Thanks for all your help during our stay! We hope to be able to stay here again during a future visit to Oakland.

We loved our stay. Host Dee and Kevin made us feel at home. Very cozy space spotless clean. So glad we picked this darling place to stay.

spacious two-bedroom on a quiet block with a nice outdoor deck overlooking a lovely garden and a expansive view of Oakland and towards the Bay. well-organized, well-stocked, well-kept. I would recommend, and will look to stay here when I return to Oakland.

Dee and Kevin’s property was so enjoyable . It was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the view was amazing. The balcony was a great place to relax after a busy day of sightseeing, and Dee was so helpful in suggesting places to see and modes of transportation. The retro kitchen was really well done and provided all that we needed. If ever we’re back in the San Francisco area again, we’ll definitely stay here again.

Had a fantastic stay. Dee was accommodating, responsive and thoughtful. Appreciate finding this home and hope to visit in the future.

We keep coming back! This is our 4th visit, it’s become an annual delight. Perfectly located, charming, well appointed, ultra comfy beds and the deck…heaven!5 stars all around.Thank you!

This house is poised on an Oakland hilltop overlooking the expanse of Maxwell Park neighborhoods and a distant profile of the San Francisco skyline. The interior is charmingly eclectic and the beds are luxurious. The location is convenient for getting into the city or out to surrounding communities to the East of the bay. Our host was very helpful and made our visit relaxing. She provided well written and organized descriptions of how to operate the1940ties gas stove and manage our waste. It is a particularly good accommodation for older adults who want to avoid steps. We'd be happy to stay there on our next visit.

This is a cozy, charming, well maintained VRBO. It accurately met its description. It was comfortable and well equipped. I'd definitely stay here again if the need arose.

Clean, accommodating and serene the view the quietness and to top it off our Host Ms. Dee.when ever im in Oakland this is my home away from home .... you will not be disappointed....

We really enjoyed our visit to this charming home over Christmas. It had everything we needed, plus amazing views of Oakland and beyond. Even though it rained much of the time, it was great!

The unit was excellent, comfortable, clean, amazing view, prompt attention to request and issues. Lovely couple/owners. Will absolutely make this my spot when in the Bay Area.

If I could rate this 10 stars I would! Beautiful apartment with incredible views! Dee is an amazing host. She has thought of everything to make your stay the best ever. I’ve never had such a perfect stay at a vacation rental. We didn’t have a car so we took an Uber to the Oakland Ferry Station most days. It was such a fun experience riding the Ferry To San Francisco. We also ordered Uber Eats and Walmart grocery delivery. Both were easy. We had a perfect stay! Thank you Dee for all that you did to make us feel welcome. ❤️

This is a beautiful & comfortable home with wonderful views of the Oakland & SF skylines. The home is located in a very nice, quiet & walkable neighborhood with easy access to transportation & highways. Dee & Kevin are amazing hosts that maintain excellent warm open lines of communication for any questions &/or requests that may arise. Check-in was seamless with information provided well in advance of your stay. All-in-all we felt almost as comfortable as being at home. You will not be disappointed!

The house is perfect. She has thought of everything and made the stay very easy. King beds were very comfy and good pillows. House is so clean and felt spacious. Big bathroom and nice full sized washer/dryer with detergent. The views ranked top of our list. Views from kitchen, living room, deck, dining room and one of the bedrooms. Had several meals on back deck watching sun go down over San Francisco and the bay. Quiet neighborhood, safe area. Free street parking but plenty of open spots steps outside the front door. This stay was so restful and enjoyable. 10/10! Easy access to freeway. The Safeway store near by was perfect for groceries and essentials. Depending on time or day it was just a fun 20 minute drive over the bridge to the San Francisco piers. Alcatraz, Golden Gate Park, Palace of the fine arts, China Town and so many more cool spots. We can't wait to return and will be booking again!

We love staying here every time we come to visit our son and family. Looking forward to the next time!

This is the fourth time that we stay at Dee's Home. The house is beautiful and the property manager is even nicer. Dee accommodated all our needs. She is a five star. We are going back May next year. Rossana and Carlos

We couldn’t have chosen a better spot for our Bay Area trip. Extremely clean, well maintained, and organized. Dee is a great host and the house has everything you could possibly need and more. Not to mention, beautiful views! We will definitely be booking this property again, when we come back to the Bay Area.

This is a beautiful, comfortable home, with an unbelievably fantastic view. Great beds, plenty of space, wonderful restaurants nearby, easy drive to all the wonders of the bay area. We couldn't have been happier. .... I also have to add-- we have stayed in many great vacation rentals in the US and abroad, and the host of this vrbo wins the prize for being the most thoughtful and prepared host we have ever encountered. everything you could possibly need is available, with careful instructions and labels to make you feel right at home. we will be back!! :)

This was our second stay, and it was every bit as great as our first stay which I reviewed previously. Definitely five stars! In fact, I've started telling friends that it is my 'home away from home' and 'our place' when we visit Oakland. Indeed, we've already got our third visit booked. This time, it was middle of summer when we visited, and the bay area was just coming out of a big heat wave. We really, really appreciated the air conditioning the first day or two until the bay area fog came back. The views were as great as ever, and our stay was very comfortable. Until next time, thanks!

We were excited to stay here because of the listing and the pictures. As great as they are, they don't do the place justice. The hosts are wonderful. Laid back, and communicative and attentive - and dare I say caring. Every room is very thoughtfully appointed. The decor was clean and thoughtful and understatedly stylish. Oakland can be hit or miss, but the location here is close to grocery stores and is pretty walkable (save for the hills). It is a very convenient location - easy to get to anywhere from the valley, to Mirin, to Walnut Creek, to Berkeley or even the city. The views are absolutely stunning. We had a magical time grilling our dinner every night and enjoying a glass of wine on the balcony while watching the sunset over the bay and San Francisco. We can't wait to go back to the Bay Area, and when we do, we will absolutely stay here.
