The expansive back deck overlooks a lush garden replete with – to name a few of the plants – a majestic poplar tree (condo to many squirrels and birds – and those Anna Humming Birds put on quite a show!), calla lilies in the winter, a robust juniper tree with juniper berries, plum trees, apple tree, fig tree, bird of paradise, spider plants .

We had such a wonderful stay over the Christmas holidays at Dee's place. It was full of vintage charm, immaculate and well cared for. We were treated to an incredibly well-stocked kitchen with every utensil and spice necessary. The vintage appliances were updated and worked well. There is no dishwasher, but we didn't do a lot of big meals, so that worked out fine for us.
The real selling point on this property is the view - you can see from Palo Alto to Napa, including Oakland, San Francisco and all the way to the Golden Gate. We enjoyed our morning coffee while looking out over most of SF Bay.
The property is convenient to all things Oakland, Berkley and only 20 or so minutes into SF without traffic. It's about 15-30 min to the Oakland Airport, so easy in and out.
Our hosts were attentive and helpful - incredibly nice as well. We will be back!

I had a great stay. I was recovering from surgery so I wanted a comfortable place to spend all day inside and this was perfect. The views were stunning, the couch and beds were soooo comfortable, and the kitchen met all our needs. We took one walk down to the town and it was really cute. Dee was wonderful and helpful and so accommodating. The house was immaculate. Definitely would stay again!

We have no complaints about our stay at this property. The host Dee is very detailed and responsive. She provided very helpful instructions on how to find the property, maneuver our way around the property and neighborhood. When you first arrive you are greeted with the most charming little garden with fountain and spectacular mural of poppy flowers, cottage vibes. When you open the front door you are met with an impeccably clean house and astonishing view of the bay. Everything in the house is very easy to find and use, specially since Dee has taken the time to label or explain in her guest notebook. Next time visiting the Oakland area this property will be number one on my list. Thank you Dee.

Yes! One more year in our special home in Oakland. It’s been a tradition since our son got into college and we visit the Bay Area every year.
And now that’s the name we give Dee’s house: HOME.
Dee makes it a even better experience each year. With lots of treats and taking care of us as we were family.
Once again thank you for making our stay so special and caring.

The house was amazing. It was clean, spacious, quiet and the mattresses slept great. The homeowner was very gracious and concerned about our comfort and needs. There was myself and my 2 best friends that stayed here for 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our visit to San Francisco. I would highly recommend this house to anyone. Thank you Dee for your hospitality.

We love staying at Dee and Kevin’s house (we have family nearby so this is our third stay). The view of the Bay Area is captivating, day or night, and this is by far the cleanest house we have ever found on VRBO. And parking is easy. We will be back!

Dee has added such nice, creative touches to her apartment. Everything is provided and well located. The deck is nice with a view of the lights at night. I particularly enjoyed the large soaking tub.
I did have an asthma flare up due to fumes from the 7 pilot lights on the vintage stove. Fortunately after closing the gas valve we were able to enjoy our stay.

My daughter and I stayed for a week and felt so comfortable here. The apartment has such an airy feel with the balconies, and many windows, looking out over the beautiful backyard garden, tall trees, and San Francisco. The owner was very responsive and pays attention to all the details that make a vacation extra enjoyable. We would highly recommend and hope to return.

After a plane delay, we didn’t arrive until about 4 am out time zone time. But when we stepped out the the car, some lights were left on for us along with the most heavenly smell from the garden. We immediately felt like we’d made it home, and we could let the decompression begin! Super clean, amazing views, and convenient, safe location. Really appreciated the extra touches and communication from Dee. Highly recommend!

Occupants 1&2: Dee's place is an absolute delight. I can't say a critical word about anything... beautiful ambiance and energy, stunning views, all comforts in place. If you want a restful oasis this is the place. We stayed in the master bedroom with a door out to a stunning patio / view. Glorious. Thank you Dee!
Occupants 3 & 4: What a dream this place was for us and great memories were made. We had what was known as the "Garden Room" and it was delightful to wake up in the morning to birds cleaning themselves in the bird bath by our window. We slept better than ever while being away from home, as the neighborhood is quiet and the bed is a fabulous Tempurpedic. The host so graciously thought of everything that an occupant could need (e.g., noise machines in the bedrooms, extension cords at each side of the bed for charging your phones, labeling throughout the house, flashlights by the back door, luggage racks, and the list goes on). We had a great time both cooking in the kitchen as well as grilling on the back patio, I was especially pleased with the wide array of serving dishes and cookware. The magic behind the scenes was, Dee. I don't think we have ever had the pleasure of having a host as great as her. The reviews are spot-on, you won't regret renting this place.

Dee’s place has spectacular views. If you get a chance to stay here, you’re lucky, king size beds, decorated impeccably, very comfortable, extremely clean, everything in the kitchen you’ll need to cook meals, every detail taken into account down to the soft, toilet paper.

I have stayed in several VRBOs over the years and Dee really sets the bar high. She does an amazing job of communicating and she has given a lot of thought to what goes into her home. It was stocked with simply anything a traveler could need. I would definitely stay here again.

Property was fantastic. Kitchen was well-equipped for cooking. The stove is like cooking on a luxurious piece of history. Hosts had clearly put thought into a lot of small touches to make our stay pleasant in every way. It was our first visit to California, and we would definitely stay again.

We have stayed at this property many times and it has always been wonderfully charming and inviting. Our hostess, Dee, is unobtrusive but makes sure that we are comfortable no matter the weather. The views are spectacular and the VRBO exactly as pictured and furnished. We will always come back as it is our home away from home!

5 star amenities. Beautiful view! Very good food nearby. Easy commute to the city.
Beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was fully stocked with dishes, pans, coffee, tea and spices.
We had 3 adults and a teenager so the spacious house was welcome. Watching the sunset over San Fransisco on the comfortable deck was amazing. The birds in the treetops were entertaining. After a day sightseeing in the city, it was nice to be in the fresh air.
The owners were accommodating and friendly. It felt like we had our own house.
A surprise was the Redwood Forest a 10 minute drive away!
Best VRBO we have stayed in and with an older family we always use them.

This home is true to the pictures listed, 100% accuracy. Spectacular views of Oakland and San Francisco, home was clean and comfortable. On street parking can be a little challenging but no biggie, we managed. Overall, a very clean comfortable home

The host, Dee. Very kind. Prompt. Willing to help etc. they do have a slight TV issue. The main bedroom TV you can’t move or tilt. Yet it’s facing the corner. Boxes and cords hanging below it as well. I was nervous it would fall. Living rm TV wouldn’t work all week. Being I am in AVR work. I could tell it was not fixable by the owner. I restarted the cable box etc. nothing would make it work properly. Other than the TV’s... the only other sm issue. Was the ice machine. It doesn’t stop making ice. If it weren’t for hearing it clanking into the freezer I would have woke up with an entire freezer filled with ice, so when I open the door a couple pounds would’ve fallen onto the floor. I figured out a way to use my own personal ice pack to lean against the structure that makes the eyes come out. I suggest asking for help for the ice. I figured out a way to force it to stop. Beautiful views from the back balcony. The Garden bed Rm can confuse. As it as it shows back pvt garden,however. The garden area for the bed rm is actually in the houses main front window. NO privacy from the street or neighbors. I never walked in the room. TV viewable in there. A dishwasher would be great. As I brought my own drinking glass & paper plates. I didn’t want dirty dishes. Again, the host & privacy great- the owners live on property. Was no problem. They were very kind & accommodating. Yes- worth the price. The value is just abt right. I had a lovely stay. The washer & dryer was a big plus.TY. GREAT

We are already talking about going back to Dee's and my suitcase is still on the floor, unpacked. Experiencing the Bay Area while staying at Dee's is a dream come true. The house is so comfy, clean and fully stocked with whatever you might need, including so many maps and books and brochures about all the many wonderful things to do and see and eat in the area. Taking in the view of the ever changing cityscape while sitting on the beautiful porch in a comfy chair is hypnotic. You really feel like you have found a home in a new and beautiful and interesting place. Leaving was very hard, but we are hoping to return soon.
Thank you Dee!

Within 2 min of getting in the house - we knew we’d found a great place. Bedrooms are large. Decks are fantastic and the view of the city at night was just amazing. Great spot for us to go around the area. Definitely would say having a car was helpful but easy to use Bart getting into the city.
