This fabulous Water-Front Home with it's own deep-water boat dock is the perfect place to stay while vacationing in the Bay Area! Imagine relaxing on your own private deck as you take in the fabulous sunsets overlooking the beautiful San Francisco Bay. In just minutes you can be boating or kayaking on the Bay.
This lovely home with all it's amenities is located on the Western side of the Island of Alameda, virtually 20 minutes by car or 30 minutes via Ferry across the Bay from San Francisco. This incredible home offers a true Home-Away-From Home atmosphere with many creature comforts for you and your guests to enjoy...especially the spectacular sunsets, cool breezes and breath-taking views of San Francisco and the Bay.
The quaint Island of Alameda features it's own Park & Beach where a variety of water sports can be enjoyed, including paddle- boarding, wind-surfing & kite-boarding. Additionally, the Island offers unique shopping, many fine restaurants, biking and walking paths that feature terrific views of San Francisco.
There are many popular attractions nearby to see and visit, and all within a short driving distance. Napa Valley's wine country with wine tasting tours, unique shopping and hot-air balloon rides...just an hour away. Of course the tourist attractions in San Francisco are endless and only a short drive or Ferry ride across the Bay!
The weather in Alameda is perfect, with it's own micro-climate, you'll find it's slightly warmer than San Francisco yet still cool enough to enjoy the temperate climate of this quaint little Island!
This spacious Water-Front home offers many amenities, room for privacy and many other luxuries you won't typically find in a hotel room. The completely equipped Gourmet Kitchen is convenient, fun and a huge money saver when you can prepare family style meals for your entire party...add to that the on-sight laundry facility and you save even more time and money for extended stays. When you compare the amenities and savings of this Home-Away-From-Home to that of most hotels, it only promises to make your stay even more enjoyable and affordable!
The price is just $2,800/week for a party of (6) six, which is slightly over $66/day/person (with cooking and laundering facilities included). Compared to the cost of local hotels in the Bay Area $2,800/week for this magnificent fully furnished water-front property is a fantastic alternative to a hotel!
Holidays and Summertime are our busiest times so make your reservations early!
Monthly Pricing is available upon request.
