Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Castro Valley

We enjoyed our stay at Katherine's Alameda Home immensely, especially the quiet neighborhood and the walkability (about 1 mile) to restaurants. We brought our bikes because Alameda is so bike-friendly and it was breeze getting to and from delicious dinner locations on Webster Street. FYI, there are about 6 steps into the home and the bedroom and bathroom are up a flight of stairs. Katharine's place was perfect for us as a couple. The bed was comfy, linens were very clean, and furnishings fit the home style perfectly! We felt right at home. It was a wonderful place to stay for a couple nights while we visited family and friends in the Bay Area and to appreciate the charm of Alameda. Thanks, Katharine!

Jana’s house was great for us. She was very responsive and helpful, communication was timely and kind. The house was as advertised, clean and perfect for us. Highly recommended

Gabrielle’s place was exactly what I needed for a peaceful get away from the city. It looked exactly as it did in pictures but so much more beautiful up close and personal. The personalized touches and friendly reminders were so well thought out and complimentary to my stay. Gabrielle was friendly and helpful; always responding with kindness and respect. I highly recommend this place for a wonderfully quaint and peaceful getaway.

Rick was a great host, and the house was very comfortable for our group.

This a great spot to stay with family and friends when visiting the Bay Area. The location is perfect especially close to Oakland airport and anything Oakland. Street parking is super easy and available. Super chill, safe, vibrant neighborhood with plenty of good eats, drinks and beaches to explore down the street in Alameda. House is a perfect place to relax and totally private would definitely stay again.

Felt like it was just lke my home accept they have a hot tub that I used almost every night during my stay also had a beautiful garden. Is very quiet and relaxing.

Edward’s place was exactly what we were looking for as visiting from out of town for engagement party. His place is easy to find, spotless clean and very modern. I had some changes in the plans and Edward was always there via communication regarding any questions I had. Overall I highly recommend his place to anyone visiting Pleasanton / Dublin area.

Great stay at Randy's place. Very comfortable and had all the amenities and supplies I needed for a two week stay.

I’m a repeat customer and hopefully will return again in December. I don’t want to stay anywhere else.

Yeshi's home is a museum of colorful artwork from her travels around the world. Wonderful to be lulled to sleep by the ocean waves.

We enjoyed our stay at Renée's. It was in a quiet neighborhood within walking distance of several restaurants and a grocery store. The place was spotless and the garden was beautiful. Communication was great and we appreciated the offer to check in early as we were driving around with luggage. Would definitely stay here again!

Good location, easy to check in late. I'm glad they provided fans since it gets warm during the day but cooled down rapidly when we got back.

Very grateful I found this place, Michael was extremely responsive. The place had a really nice loft and bedroom. The location is perfect to walk around and explore Alameda, one of my favorite places in the Bay Area.

Beautiful place in a perfect location especially great during the summer. My family of four stayed there quite easily and the kitchenette was a pleasant surprise. We could actually get a number of meals cooked in there. There is a little bit of a sound proofing issue so make sure to be on the quieter side but probably the best deal in SF for summer!

We loved our stay at Jan’s place in Berkeley. The space was great for our trip. We absolutely loved the deck and hot-tub. We spent most evenings sitting out there for hours! You also can’t beat the views of the bay! Overall, such a wonderful stay, we would for sure go back and recommend to all our friends and family.

Ottoline’s place was safe, comfortable, peaceful, and clean. It was perfect for our weekend in the area. Otto was very helpful and responsive, and the place itself had everything we needed. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and kitchen was great to make food from the Whole Foods nearby. I would highly recommend.

We enjoyed our Father's Day Getaway Weekend. Amazing and responsive Hosts! An appliance issue did come up during our stay, but they were quick to get the problem resolved and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and taken care of Thank You so Much

Our two families had such a nice time out by the pool, grilling and fishing off the dock. Thank you Sherry!

Once you open the door, you are transplanted into a space where a breath is taken and a breath is held. If you are seeking a calmness, this home is the one. Pride of ownership is evident in the furnishings, personal touches and in the whole home itself. Didn’t want our stay to end.

The best in San Rafael, plenty of parking and a kayak . Gina is wonderful our guests arrived early so I was asking Gina for early check in Gina response yes right a way Thank you very much. Our guests so happy to stay at your beautiful house. We definitely come back to your beautiful house again! Thanks again Gina

Sang’s home was beautiful, clean, and incredibly spacious — perfect for our group getaway. The house was well-stocked, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing and fun stay. We cooked, enjoyed time out on the boat, and had such a great time as a family. Communication was clear and helpful throughout the process. Highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for a peaceful and enjoyable escape in Discovery Bay!

This was a great escape in Oakland! Every guest had their own bathroom and the kitchen/living room space was so spacious.

Can't wait to go back, even though we live in the same town! We had to find a place quickly because we had some damage at our home and Laurie and Bradley were so accommodating and flexible. The property is gorgeous! And I can't say enough about the showers. Every piece of furniture was so comfortable, including the beds (and I am very picky when it comes to beds). The view was spectacular. Besides the incredible amenities, Laurie and Bradley were such incredible hosts and were very easy to reach and super responsive to the many requests we had to extend our stay. I highly recommend their house.

Wonderful place in the heart of San Jose! Warmly recommended :)
