Charming Alameda Cottage

This is a sweet cottage in a very nice neighborhood. It was even larger than I expected, and was well appointed in a sort of “shabby chic“ fun & comfortable way. The bed was cozy and the outdoor area was beautiful and idyllic with lovely plants and landscaping. As a woman alone, I felt very safe there. The one disappointment I had was that items you expect to be in a VRBO were not there. There were no measuring cups, measuring spoons, paper coffee filters or baking/muffin tins, and the supply of dishwasher soap, paper towels, Reynolds, wrap, and other things were low enough to last just one day. I believe that if I had taken the time to notify management, they probably would have purchased these items for me, but I decided to just go out and buy them along with groceries. Since I left what had been missing there, anyone staying at this cottage should find it well stocked. I really enjoyed this out-of-the-way cottage!

Lovely Cottage in a Lovely Neighborhood

If you are visiting the bay area but want to stay in a beautiful cottage away from the hustle and bustle, this cute cottage in Alameda is the perfect place. Good price, dog friendly, comfortable, and they don't require a 2-3 night stay. Close to the beach and Webster St. I'll be staying there again in a few weeks.

Lovely pocket of Alameda

Great place for a quick weekend visit in the Bay Area. Accurate description and very clean. The walkway and path through the backyard and toward the cottage isn’t well lit - there’s a spotlight at the beginning but after that it can be hard to see. It isn’t a problem, just plan accordingly if you plan to arrive late on your first night (like I did) and have your hands full. Once I was familiar with the place, the lighting wasn’t a big deal at all. I would definitely stay here again!

Return Guest

This spot in Alameda is really great, my third or fourth visit. Great location and easy parking. Indoor/Outdoor with the back door is very nice. Great neighborhood, super safe. Took the ferry to SF and caught the Blue Angels air Show. Highly recommend the Seaplane Ferry Stop in Alameda, free parking and lots of it - last Thursday at least. Lots of good stuff on Webster St - start at Wescafe and go from there. Nice and quiet place, very comfortable for our dog and ourselves. Great Kitchen Space. Highly Recommend.

FELT SAFE AND SECURE

My impression of Alameda island is that it is a very safe little community. We were very comfortable walking to the many shops and restaurants on Webster Street, although common sense made us head for home before it got dark. I would also recommend taking the Alameda/Oakland Ferry to the San Francisco Ferry Station then catch a trolly to Fisherman’s Wharf. A Very enjoyable stay!

Cute cottage in a great part of town

Cottage was super! Spacious and comfortable with all the amenities one could ask for. Private patio was a great bonus. The neighborhood was very quiet. Lots of restaurants and coffee shops just a short walk away. Also a short walk to the beach. Wonderful place to stay!

Schönes gemütliches Cottage

Süsses Cottage in ruhiger Gegend. Sehr angenehm. Kleiner Garten um auch mal draussen zu sitzen. Freundliche und hilfbereite Gastgeberin. Es wäre aber hilfreich, wenn in der Anzeige erwähnt wird, das das Bad nur über das Schlafzimmer erreichbar ist. Schön wäre auch wenn es einige Informationen in papierform über Bus und Bahnverbindungen gebe und über Bezahlsystem hierfür. Ansonsten wir haben uns dort sehr wohl gefühlt. Wenn man die verkehrsverbindungen kennt, ist die City mit den Sehenswürdigkeiten gut errwichbar

Back in Alameda

Having lived in Alameda for 19 years it was wonderful to come back and stay at the adorable cottage. It is in a great location and you easily walk everywhere. It a perfect size for my husband, me and our 15lb dog. The private garden was wonderful too! Only complaints are the lighting in the bathroom over the sink could be brighter and the sofa could be more comfy. Other than that the place was great!! Big kitchen w lots of useful tools. We will definitely be back!

Good location for going to San Francisco and surrounding Bay Area. Alameda is a quaint small town. Nothing much has changed in the fifty years since I went to high school here. Great place to just walk the quaint neighborhoods.

Alameda cottage

The property is located in a charming area, close to some grand houses, Crown Beach and an adjoining park. Great for walking your dog. Cottage was nicely furnished with everything one would need. One serious negative was the hot water. It either took several minutes to come, or we got tired of waiting /wasting water and took a shower at our next accommodation. This knocked a star off of our rating.

Alameda has everything.

Returning guest and love the space, very roomy and well appointed. A few blocks away from Webster Street, chock full of great restaurants and shops. Quick drive to the beach with wonderful city views. Just a hop to the ferry, Jack London Square. A great dog park , a couple blocks away. Neighborhood is great for walking and easy parking. Can’t wait to go back!
