About this property

Spacious 1906 Victorian in-law apartment

Welcome to Alameda! Though this is a new listing on VRBO, we have over 200 great reviews (4.92 out of 5 stars) on another vacation rental site.

You'll be 2 blocks away from Crab Cove beach and visitor's center, and only 1 block away from Webster Street with easy bus access (AC Transit), many nice restaurants, a small market, hardware store, farmer's market and post office. The Alameda Ferry Terminal is also nearby for hops over to San Francisco or Oakland's Jack London Square. This apartment is great for couples, solo adventurers, and families (with or without kids).

The space
**For everyone’s safety, we have in place a 2-day buffer between guests during which time we thoroughly clean and sanitize!**

This 900-square-foot Victorian in-law apartment has many original moldings and built-ins, plus a lovely claw-foot tub for long soaks. The large eat-in kitchen has full-sized appliances, and there is a washer and dryer in the bathroom. In addition to the flat-screen TV, we've stocked the living room with games and books for relaxing times indoors. You'll notice that the apartment stays wonderfully cool in the summer, and has its own central heat in the wintertime.

Guest access
Each bedroom has one comfy queen bed, and there is also a couch/daybed in the larger bedroom if needed for an extra person.

Other things to note
Since we live right upstairs with regular work schedules and 2 big, friendly dogs, and neighboring houses are quite close, there will be noises during the day. Also, I am a professional pianist, so you may hear me practicing or teaching. We all try to be courteous with our noise and ask that you will be too.

Please note, there ARE steps in the apartment -- there are 2 steps down from street level, as well as 2 steps up again into the bathroom, so it's not an ideal situation for guests who use wheelchairs. These steps have not been an issue for the many wonderful families who have stayed with us.

Lovely welcoming stay.

We appreciated the flexibility and friendliness of the hosts. The place had many homey touches and essentials for us to use. The claw foot tub was such a treat. And we got to do laundry. The walk to Crab Cove was short and a beautiful place to visit. Would stay again.

Wonderful place

The Hostess was very nice and left us with some milk and eggs for when we arrived. They were a welcome sight. The apartment is in a really great area, so close to the water and I felt very safe there.

Spacious and clean, great stay

Dale was a great host for my family in town -- parking space right in front, thoughtful touches with food in the home, plenty of places to sit, a lot of space (much more than the photos suggest), within walking distance of Washington Park and the beach -- all of this made for a great weekend stay for two adults and two young kids!

Great area to spend some family time

The hosts are awesome! The house is super cute, and we had more than enough room for the three of us to spread out. We had all the amenities we needed, even snacks and kitchen gear. They had clipper cards available to load (use a clipper kiosk not the online site) and public transportation was super easy to take from there. We used the ferries, bus and train lines while there and had a slot to park the small SUV we rented. The space was like a home away from home. Clean and cute. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area.
