About the neighborhood

Oakland

Located in Upper Rockridge, a neighborhood in Oakland, this cottage is in the mountains. Pier 39 and Ferry Building are worth checking out if shopping is on the agenda, while those wishing to experience the area's natural beauty can explore San Francisco Bay and Alcatraz Island. Check out an event or a game at Oracle Park, and consider making time for Bill Graham Civic Auditorium, a top attraction not to be missed. Kayaking and water skiing offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking/biking trails and horse riding nearby.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
We'd like to introduce ourselves. Bradley and I renovated the home last year. I am a designer by trade and offer retreats for women. Bradley works with environmental technologies. We live nearby here in Upper Rockridge with our dog Supernova who is an explosion.

Why they chose this property

Bradley and I started a home flipping business at the start of Covid since both of our businesses slowed down. After renovating and restoring the two homes on the compound, we decided to hang on to the property. The main home is fully renovated and will not have guests in it when the cottage is occupied. The whole quiet compound is exclusively yours to enjoy.

What makes this property unique

The private outdoor dining and lounging areas are beautifully landscaped with 360 degree views of San Francisco and the bay. Moroccan lanterns swing above a large, outdoor dining table and the outdoor living area is complimented with a fountain and a fire pit.
