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!

Great Stay

We had a fairly large group of 12 looking to explore SF and the Bay Area. The house is located in a safe area with pretty easy access to the bay bridge, bart, costco, Oakland airport, etc. We had tons of room to spread out and everything worked out great. We had a small hitch with the door code upon checkin, but the property manager was prompt with responding despite how late it was. We loved this property and would happily use it again if visiting SF or Oakland.

Awesome group retreat

This house was a fantastic setup for a group of families with young kids. The flexibility of having the 6 twin size mattresses/cots was great for letting kids sleep in the same room with their parents. The kitchen was well equipped to cook for a large group (we didn’t even need the upstairs kitchen except for running the extra dishwasher and borrowing some plates and cutlery). The layout was great for the adults to hang out in the downstairs living room and watch the kids playing in the yard, or around the dining table with kids in the living room. The house was spotless and the linens were plentiful. Thanks so much!

I want to live here!

This home is so gorgeous and such a sanctuary I never wanted to leave. I loved all the artwork and furnishings. It was a beautiful neighborhood and a beautiful walk to the rose garden and restaurants on Piedmont Ave. I joined friends from all over the country and Canada for my 50th birthday and I wish I hadn't planned to do anything but hang out at the house. Beda was an amazing host, even answering my phone call when he was out of the country on vacation. I can't recommend this place enough. Do not hesitate!!

Great place for a large family!

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.

Beautiful space with plenty of room

We had such a great time in this large Victorian house, we had two sets of grandparents, 5 adult “kids” and 2 grandchildren. It was very clean and beautifully decorated, we can’t wait to book it again! Beda was very responsive for all our questions, he even had a guide for the local area! The location was great, we loved walking to Fentons for ice cream and strolling along Piedmont Ave. Very highly recommend booking this space!

Fabulous stay in a wonderful home

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.

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!
