Perfect Stay

Love this rental for numerous reasons! Location is ideal. (Short walk to Lazy Bird coffee for those who enjoy that!) Wonderful neighborhood with gorgeous homes and gardens. The cottage feels large for a one bedroom. Kitchen is beautiful and well appointed! Bed was so comfy! TV with plenty of offerings, WIFI was fast, shower great, (living room furniture is adequate but not "comfy" per se). Overall, a wonderful stay and a darling rental that met our needs extremely well! Love Alameda!

Fun times in Alameda

Cottage was bigger than expected. So cute! Very pretty and walkable neighborhood, close to coffee shops and cafes. Easy Uber ride to the ferry for some day trips to SF. Our host answered immediately anytime I texted. Will look forward to staying here again.

The Little Cottage that Could

Very nice little house and was great for our large dog. The dog park was within walking distance. Standard size frig and oven were great along with a kitchen table that comfortably seated four. Host was very responsive!! Would easily stay again!

Delightful Alameda!

We had never visited Alameda before and were thankful to find a lovely spot to explore the area. If the weather had cooperated we would have enjoyed the lovely outdoor spaces at the cottage. The cottage itself was great for 2 adults (the bathroom was accessed through the bedroom). The kitchen is large and updated. The living room is also large, but could use more comfortable seating.

Cute cottage in a great part of town

Cottage was super! Spacious and comfortable with all the amenities one could ask for. Private patio was a great bonus. The neighborhood was very quiet. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops just a short walk away. Also a short walk to the beach. Wonderful place to stay!

Lovely Cottage in a Lovely Neighborhood

If you are visiting the bay area but want to stay in a beautiful cottage away from the hustle and bustle, this cute cottage in Alameda is the perfect place. Good price, dog friendly, comfortable, and they don't require a 2-3 night stay. Close to the beach and Webster St. I'll be staying there again in a few weeks.

Perfect for us!

I had two of my college girlfriends come into town and we stayed in this cottage. I loved showing the girls around Alameda! It’s a great location and walkable to many restaurants and shops.

Very spacious cottage with comfortable beds and good outdoor area. Only recommendation would be a black out curtain in the bedroom and a heat lamp in the bathroom. I will definitely stay here again!

FELT SAFE AND SECURE

My impression of Alameda island is that it is a very safe little community. We were very comfortable walking to the many shops and restaurants on Webster Street, although common sense made us head for home before it got dark. I would also recommend taking the Alameda/Oakland Ferry to the San Francisco Ferry Station then catch a trolly to Fisherman’s Wharf. A Very enjoyable stay!

Super cute cottage

We loved our stay here. It was the perfect amount of space for the 2 of us, and had a lovely private backyard that we enjoyed with our dog. The only thing I would mention if I had to come with something, is that we weren’t expecting the larger house in front of the property to be a rental as well. Sometimes small quiet groups and sometimes not so quiet. But overall it was a wonderful stay.

Recommendation

I really enjoyed the cottage. Property manager is great and responded quickly when I needed assistance. I loved the area it’s in and Alameda is great. It reminds me of my hometown of Oak Park, IL. The bed was very comfy eatable. I do recommend upgrading the living room furniture. The couch is very uncomfortable and the whole living room could be arranged to be much more usable. However, again I really enjoyed the cottage. The patio is fabulous. I’ll be back!! 🤗

Return Guest

This spot in Alameda is really great, my third or fourth visit. Great location and easy parking. Indoor/Outdoor with the back door is very nice. Great neighborhood, super safe. Took the ferry to SF and caught the Blue Angels air Show. Highly recommend the Seaplane Ferry Stop in Alameda, free parking and lots of it - last Thursday at least. Lots of good stuff on Webster St - start at Wescafe and go from there. Nice and quiet place, very comfortable for our dog and ourselves. Great Kitchen Space. Highly Recommend.

Ideal for a couple.

Our adult kids live in the Bay Area, but don't have space to put us up in their homes. This house was ideal for us. We stayed 5 nights. Our kids came over with board games. They even made soup and baked bread for us in the well-equipped kitchen. The house was spotless.. Quiet neighborhood. 5 minute walk to beach. 10 minute walk to restaurants.
