Guesthouse vacation rentals in Orinda

This beautiful Oakland Oasis was better than I imagined it would be! This place exceeded my expectations! Coming through the gate the first night, to a path of twinkling lights leading us to our adorable cabin took my breath away! It was the perfect location for peace and quiet right in the middle of Oakland. My only regret is that I didn’t spend more time on the property. We flew in from out of state to visit friends and spent a lot of time out and about. I definitely want to come back to spend more time hanging out in the backyard with the goats and chickens. My 13-year-old loved the backyard, the trampoline and the animals. The location was very walkable and within several blocks of many restaurants and shops. We rented a car and street parking was easily accessible. Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park was only an 8 minute drive away and we spent most mornings walking through the mountains enjoying the beautiful trees and views of San Francisco. Highly recommend this listing!

Hope and Jeff are the best, nicest, most accommodating hosts I've encountered in all of my AirBnB experiences. Due to changes in my work assignment, I had to extend my stay and was by far their longest-staying guest ever (10 weeks). They let me stay right up to the day they began renovations in their guest house. I look forward to staying there again and introducing my wife - I look at them now as friends as much as hosts. A wonderful experience.

This was an EXCELLENT Airbnb. Great value, beautiful property, plenty of privacy, exceptionally good instructions form the hosts. I can not recommend highly enough. Great place to recharge.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at Laura’s place. The place was super cute and it was along a creek. We loved the eucalyptus trees and the greenery surrounding the cottage. We both enjoyed hot tub after a long day of exploring Berkeley nearby.

Barbara and her Backyard Beach House were wonderful. Best stocked Air B & B we've ever stayed at. Clean, comfortable, and relaxing. Especially convenient for us because we were visiting family a mile away. We'll definitely stay again. Thanks!

My wife and I enjoyed our stay at Sarah's place! Sarah has created a back yard paradise and the cottage is lovely. The beds are really comfortable. It is also within walking distance of a great coffee shop that had wonderful breakfast and lunch options. We ate there several times. The Vallejo ferry to San Francisco is a convenient distance from the cottage and worth the ride. This is a wonderful gem in the Airbnb world. And Sarah is amazing!

I’ve stayed here several times while visiting family in El Cerrito. The cottage is so comfortable, well-equipped and the garden is calming. Jun and Susan are quick to respond to any questions, provide local recommendations, and make this place feel like home.

Will and Jane were excellent hosts. The back house is light filled and spotless. It’s comfortable and well organized. It was peaceful, tucked away in a garden! I loved feeding the fish. Both Will and Jane were responsive and offered a great recommendation. I know I’ll stay here every time I come to San Francisco!

This was our second stay at “The Cottage” and we’ve enjoyed both trips. It’s very nice and clean, very quiet, and our hosts were very available and responsive (not that we needed anything.) the amenities were good, anything you needed, and a good size for the two of us and our small dog. There is a nice local hiking trail to the reservoir but the cottage is settled on the hilltop, so any hikes (or walking to the store) can be pretty steep. A good workout if you’re prepared. There are stairs from the parking area, a bit steep if you have any disability issues, but I believe there is another access through the main property if needed (we didn’t.) Very quiet and secluded, saw wild turkeys and deer. Would definitely recommend.

Had a quick trip. Great place for an overnight stay. Or longer. I had everything I needed and more. Peaceful and quiet. Super clean and comfortable. Andrea is a great host. Communicates quickly.

I enjoyed my stay at Mary Lee and David’s place. It was perfectly located for my purposes, affording easy access to both the East Bay and Marin. The place is well appointed and clean, the entry through the backyard pretty, and the neighborhood charming. They were great hosts - available, but not hovering, their communication clear and timely.

Mira was quick to respond and provided clear directions. Her place is in a quiet residential neighborhood. It’s bright and airy and had everything we needed for our short stay! Will certainly stay again!

Eugenia’s place is in an idyllic location in the Berkeley Hills. It’s a cozy space, beautifully designed with every need anticipated. It’s clean, new and fresh. We’d return in a heartbeat and hope to do so soon.

This place was so beautiful, the pictures didn’t do it justice. Perfect location close enough to restaurants, and lil shops!! Just away enough out of the city, but not to far out. Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting a nice cozy easy place to get to. Also my wife’s 50th birthday and I asked him to do something special for her birthday and he put out a birthday banner and a bottle of champagne!!

A quiet and comfortable spot. Unlimited things to do with its proximity to the grand/lakeshore district. I love the view from the backyard and have had a great peaceful stay everytime I’ve booked. Would highly recommend!

We hit the jackpot with Cherry Lane. It was a family visit for us with a bit of sightseeing included, Everything we could wish for in a holiday rental, including Chickens {with fresh eggs} and pets to fuss. We would love to return but our age is against usand the cost of flights from the UK is getting harder to find. Thank you Daneil xx

This was my second stay at Mary's place and it was great again. Beautiful quiet location, very walkable, close to public transportation, the beach and restaurants. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and got to know Mary more on this trip.

Comfortable stay, close to friendly Solano Avenue. Very walkable area. Thank you!

I stayed at Steven's place while attending a conference at SFSU. It was in a nice and quiet neighborhood and very conveniently located for my purposes. It was a quick walk to the university. It was also a 10 minute walk from grocery stores/ a mall and a 5 minute walk to the MUNI. The apartment itself was clean, quiet, and had a very comfortable bed. Steven was quick to respond and very accommodating when I had questions about my reservation. I would stay here again.

First let me start by saying the pictures posted are exactly as the place! It’s street parking but felt safe as a residential neighborhood with plenty of parking. Kananu was very respectful & responsive within minutes if not seconds! Kananu’s place has everything you need to feel right at home. The host gave nice recommendations for what’s in the area for dining, fun activities for all ages & shopping. We had a small issue with the water heater making nose and she was able to get the issue resolved quickly without interfering with our stay. I would definitely recommend Kananu’s place to anyone traveling to the area and definitely will be back for another stay! Her place definitely makes you feel like you’re in your own home.

This was my second stay at Xiaole’s place. Bed is very comfortable, nice linens and pillows. Nice bathroom with large shower. Kitchenette very adequate for my needs. Location borders Pinole which has lots of places to eat or takeout.

Charming garden cottage with great location. Very close to vibrant commercial district yet very quiet and peaceful. Lots of street parking and close to transportation.

Enjoyed my stay again! Friendly and responsive host, place is clean and as described. Looking forward to booking in the future!

Was a good option for our group of 7 to stay. The hosts were prompt in helping out.
