The home was exactly as described and perfect for our needs. The property is spotless and well equipped.
The owner was a pleasure to work with and so helpful with checking in procedures and timing. Margaret’s recommendations were spot on and incredibly helpful. I took pictures of her recommendation page for our kids that just moved to Alameda.
Thank you for opening your darling home.

Stayed here for 3 nights. Property is clean and nicely decorated. If you are visiting Alameda (or the East Bay) and need a nice homebase for 2 adults this place is worth checking out. Communication was clear and responsive. I'd definitely stay here again on my next trip to Alameda.

This stay was as good as it gets for a VRBO rental. The house was *immaculate* in terms of cleanliness, and this may be my first VRBO trip where absolutely everything in the property was EIWO (everything in working order). It was a pleasure to work with the owner, and I look forward to coming back!

Fantastic apartment within walking distance of Park Street restaurants. We had a lovely getaway in this immaculate art deco apartment and returned relaxed and refreshed. We will definitely be back.

Spent this year’s annual girls weekend with two of my good friends in Alameda. This cute house is the perfect location to walk to local restaurants, and is an easy drive to Alameda Point and for a day in San Francisco.

We just returned from our stay and Margaret's home in Alameda. Beautifully appointed with all of the comforts of home. We stayed when there was unseasonably warmer weather, and the central AC worked very well to cool the home. The king sized bed was soft which we enjoyed, but those who prefer a firm mattress may not be as happy. Self check in and out was perfect, street parking a breeze and a quiet location we would highly recommend. Thank you Margaret!

Everything was perfect starting with Margaret, the owner. Beautiful house with all the amenities.

This home is one of the nicest rentals we have ever had the pleasure of staying at. Everything was top quality, from the kitchen appliances and cookware to the towels and bed linens. The king bed was very comfortable as was the sofa-bed as reported by our 12 year old grandson.
We never had a problem finding a place to park on the street, and it was only a 7 minute walk downtown to the shops and restaurants. It was about 30 mins over the Bay Bridge to San Francisco, depending on traffic, and Margaret had given us a heads up about getting the Fastrak for the tolls which made the trips go smoothly.
Margaret was excellent at communicating whenever we had a question and let us know when the WiFi was being repaired, which didn’t take long.
We would most definitely stay at this rental again if we're in the Bay area. The neighborhood is lovely and quiet and a nice respite at the end of a day of sightseeing.

We could have checked in a little early because owner messaged us that the unit was ready. Upon arrival, we found the space was even nicer than described. The high quality interior seemed brand new, and everything was so comfortable and handy. I can’t name anything that could have been better. Bed, bedding, shower etc were first-rate. Appears smallish on the outside, but the interior was very roomy. We enjoyed walking around the neighborhood and spotting fairy gardens and Little Free Libraries. Plenty of coffee shops nearby for my needs. We also went to Ole’s for breakfast twice in four days. We will be back.

We enjoyed our five nights here very much. The little house is immaculately clean and nicely decorated. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom and kitchen were modern and had everything we needed and more. It was an easy walk to Park St. and good restaurants. If you're an Oakland Athletics fan, it's very convenient to the Colisuem. Very nice stay.

Beautiful, comfortable property in a very convenient location. Easy walk to south shore beach or over to Park Street cafes and shops. Everything was as described. Lots of natural light. The kitchen counter was very suitable as a computer desk. Very comfortable bed. Great artwork! Excellent communication with host.

I can’t say enough great things about the property and the owners. It is so well kept, clean, and centrally located. It has everything you can think of for a comfortable stay. It’s easy to see why the calendar shows this property is often booked in advance. Will definitely book again when we visit Alameda again.

This house is just the cutest! The location is quite close to the main area of Alameda with all the restaurants, too. Great kitchen and comfy living room. Also was super quiet area.
Margaret was really great with restaurant recommendations and making me feel welcome. (There's a binder with all kinds of great tips for the area.).
Couldn't have been happier with my stay.

Bee-Friendly Garden
The art deco architecture and fittings are wonderful, but the flower garden and the bee hive in the tree hollow were what made this home really special.

What a great little rental! My family of 4 really enjoyed our stay here. It was clean and comfortable with all the little amenities to make things easy especially with my baby like a playpen, high chair and Keurig for Mommy. The biggest draw for me though is the gorgeous garden surrounding the house...I woke up each day to a nice cup of coffee on the outside patio shaded by a fragrant plum tree. The neighborhood feels really safe and you are about a 5 minute walk from main street with restaurants and entertainment. Honestly just walking around this quaint little neighborhood is entertainment itself. I would definitely recommend this rental to a friend (actually I already have!)

This is our second stay at this beautiful space. It is so clean and comfortable and so close to so many things. Alameda is a lovely little city and has so much to offer. The yards in this neighborhood are just beautiful and we are so relaxed in this little corner of the city. Thank you for your hospitality!

This was just the perfect place to stay in Alameda; the sunshine just poured in the windows all day long, we were within walking distance to so many restaurants, and the house was immaculate and very well supplied (especially the kitchen!). This would be a great place to stay for an extended period, not just for a brief vacation. Thank you Margaret! Susan Theiss

One of the best!
My girlfriend and I stayed here for 4 days and absolutely loved this house, location, and beauty! The bed is so comfortable we almost didn't get out of bed until late in the afternoon!
The beautiful garden and friendly honey bees make this location an Oasis!
Will be back soon!
