Wow what a terrific stay! Hosts were responsive and accommodating and the house is stunning! Beds were super comfy. Design inside was thoughtful, aesthetic, comfortable and beautiful. We absolutely loved it!! Telling all our friends about this spot!
We had a wonderful stay! The home is spacious and beautiful! We loved that there are 3 complete living spaces in the home, perfect for the 3 families staying there. We loved it so much that we reserved this week for next year!
Everything was easy - from check in to check out - excellent location - plenty of comfortable space for our party of 12, well furnished and stocked, easy communication with host - highly recommend.
Wonderful place for group gatherings and retreats!
I booked for a gathering and it was the perfect place for us. The space is beautiful and spacious, in an ideal location for either folks traveling and wanting to be close to great restaurants, to walk around the lake and see views, or relax inside and be able to cook and do activities. If you're looking for a place to stay for a family reunion or gathering, I'd definitely recommend!
Lovely house, great beds. Perfect layout for large groups. Driveway long and can park multiple cars in it. We had a wonderful stay. Modernized house with many conveniences. Owners are responsive to communication. Walking distance to Piedmont Ave with great restaurants and shops.
Nicely maintained and well stocked home for family and friends gathering. The home has ample space for parties to spread out and enjoy their own space. The host is very responsible and helpful. We had a great stay. Suggest to add a couple of folding tables so the main floor can host a larger dinner than just 8 people.
This house was perfect for our offsite staff retreat. The amenities were hotel quality, the kitchen had everything we needed, the beds very comfortable, lovely decor and beautiful touches throughout. The host, Beda, was so helpful and went the extra mile during our stay. Hope to come back for our next retreat!
This is an awesome property, we had several generations from all over come together for a great time! This house has enough room to spread out and also bring everyone together for meals and conversation. Beda is a great host. Highly recommend and we will be back hopefully soon!
Beda was a fantastic host and very patient with all of the questions I had before my group actually arrived at the property. He was great and the property really was fabulous, exactly as you see in the pictures and the description and our group of 16 adults fit very well into the space and did not feel crowded.
We loved this property. There was room enough for 12 of us, and the Tiki Barn was an added bonus. The house was clean, well stocked, and looked exactly as the pictures were shown online. Beda was so accommodating by allowing us an early check in. Would definitely rent again.
We rented two houses for over 30 folks; and we were able to arrange lots of great stuff for the weekend (Oakland Museum Friday Nights food trucks, Lake Merrit group massage then Farmers Market, Montclair picnic - All really close to the house (we also did a day trip to SF/Fisherman's wharf). The house was a perfect gathering place, and those who actually stayed loved the acommodations and the neighborhood!
We had a great stay at this property. Everything was clean and comfortable. Tons of driveway space. Beds were good with nice linens. Kitchen was great. There is filtered water dispenser in the fridge you just have to open it it’s inside. Neighborhood felt safe. Would stay again.
We were a large remote team that used this home for an off site gathering. The home was gorgeous and the hose was incredibly responsive and helpful. We couldn’t have been happier and hope to host future off sites here!

About the host
Your host
Hello! My name is Beda and I'm a Bay Area Native, living in Oakland for the past decade. My passion in life is to travel the world and play beach volleyball with local beach communities. Couple that with a beautiful sunset in the evening and you've described my perfect escape. :) This passion has brought me to all sorts of different Airbnb's as a guest, and I hope I can perpetuate the best qualities & aspects from my experiences into your stay!
My day job is selling software & cloud, though I'm admittedly much more interested in real estate. I hope your stay here will give you a glimpse into my preferences around design, hospitality and travel!
