Guesthouse vacation rentals in San Francisco Peninsula

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!

I had such a lovely stay at Maria's cottage! Comfortable bed, loads of towels, coffee, and sparkling waters combined with gorgeous views made for a special couple of days. As other reviews have mentioned, you can tell that Maria has a love of hosting, which shows up in the sweet touches and great organization of the space, as well as her kind communication. I will return to this property, especially as it is priced so well!

Amy's place was wonderful - one of the few places we've ever stayed that was even better in person than in pictures. It was clean, spacious, and very comfortable for the 2 of us. The outdoor space was amazing, plenty of quiet spaces to lounge in the sun and walk around. The area was great as well, quiet but close to downtown, and Amy was a thoughtful and responsive host, we really appreciated her thoughtfulness. The one thing to note is that the Wi-fi could be unreliable - we both worked from the Airbnb, and made it work for the week, but something to note for future visitors. We'd definitely recommend this place and plan to come back next time we visit. Thank you Amy!

We stayed here to explore San Francisco and take day trips around the area! SF is about 20-30 minutes depending on what part of the city. Half moon bay is around 30 minutes as well. SFO is very close around 15 minutes. You do hear the occasional rumble of airplanes landing and taking off but wasn’t an inconvenience for us. This Airbnb is separate from the main house and you need to walk through the backyard to get there. We did find a couple spiders in the unit. Maybe because it’s an older home and surrounded by nature. Overall, we had a pleasant experience staying here. Parking is convenient on the driveway and the unit had everything we would have needed. Hosts were very responsive and we enjoyed our stay!

We had a nice stay at the Berry Patch cottage. It’s bigger than what shows in photos – you have to walk from the bedroom through the kitchen and living room to the bathroom. We spent most of our time in the bedroom cozied up next to the propane fireplace. This cottage does not have a fully enclosed yard like the smaller cottage next door. Our dogs still enjoyed exploring the yard on leash, and there are plenty of options for walks in the neighborhood and nearby. The modest digs was all that we needed to have a lovely weekend. Jeri is a sweet host and her raspberry jam is delicious on a slice of local bread!

If you need to stay in West Berkeley, this is a very convenient spot. The cottage is unusual and artistic. We particularly enjoyed the upstairs kitchen with loads of windows.

This was a perfect place to decompress during a busy work trip. The space is beautiful, and the attached gym is such a nice treat! Everything was exactly as described, clean and lovely. I would definitely stay again!

We enjoyed our stay at Barbara's charming Backyard Beach House for the third time, and felt at home there. We find it restful to stay in this quiet neighborhood. It's always nice to communicate with Barbara and Ken, as they are readily available if we have questions or requests. We consider this house a gem of a find. Thank you again Barbara and Ken for contributing to our lovely vacation.

Great host and amazing place to stay.

Mary Lee and David have created an apartment that feels like home. Very thoughtful supplies and amenities, very responsive hosts, in a quiet and uncrowned neighborhood with easy access walking to the historic center, easy parking and easy access to the freeway. Met and exceeded all our needs.

This place is amazing..super cute and cozy...definitely recommended 💯

David is a great landlord. He was extremely fast to answer all questions. He was super helpful too!

I highly recommend Joyce’s place. It’s very roomy, private, and quiet. It’s a beautiful space in a nice neighborhood, with plenty of restaurants and grocery stores nearby, and a nice park just a few blocks away.

This is our fourth stay at Creole Place. Both Susan and her husband Gerald are very accommodating, kind, and responsive in every way without ever interfering in any way. The quiet location is easily accessed plus it is a quick walk to Safeway, CVS, and shops and restaurants at Red Hill Shopping Center. Our grandson has stayed with us and loves visiting. There is a beautiful very large screen TV with multiple kid friendly programs. A park with a ball diamond and playground, and a nice hill for exploration are both close by. Nice restaurants close by, but I really also enjoy cooking in the lovely kitchen. We celebrated Christmas** here with our family, and have made reservations to return to Creole Cottage in late April. **We were not able to find Christmas wrapping paper (last minute gifts) and the stores were SOLD OUT. I ran into Susan and mentioned going back to get bags when I really wanted/needed paper. She was there in 5 minutes with her wrapping paper.♥️

Great host, always responsive and helpful. The place itself was clean and a great place to stay.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay! Peaceful and quiet!! Robert and Pamela were really awesome communicators! We loved it there!! And definitely would like to return back if in that area!!

This place is perfect. The view is awesome. The deck is relaxing and it is very peaceful. Everything was great. The sheets are so soft and comfortable. I would stay here again for sure!

Such a lovely place! Wonderful host and a beautiful, peaceful neighborhood in a great location near many activities. The eggs were such a nice touch and we loved the chickens! Everything was very clean, and we were provided nearly everything you could need! Truly a sanctuary, couldn’t recommend more!

First off I want to publicly say Thank Betsey for everything!! Great location, easy freeway access. Very close to downtown for restaurants and entertainment. For extended stays it is the best!!

We had a wonderful 2 week+ stay! The amenities and convenience of this Airbnb can't be beat! We loved that it had 2 bathrooms, an office and ALL of the streaming services available to guests. Nikki replied to all of my messages really quickly and was very kind. My one and only note would be that the bed was pretty firm and after a few nights it started to be uncomfortable but that could 100% be just my own preference. I'll definitely recommend this location to friends and family! ❤️

Silvia clearly enjoys spoiling her guests! The Studio is furnished with everything you need and more including a yoga mat, Echo Show for music options, coffee for the week, snacks and lots of other thoughtful items like bathrobes and slippers. The sleeper sofa and pillows are comfortable and it is quiet at night for easy sleeping. The shower is large with 2 spray heads and plenty of hot water. The WiFi works well and there is room for 2 at the workspace counter. Some of the appliances to be found in the kitchen - Kitchenaid Mixer, Vitamix Blender, rice cooker - totally outfitted with cooking/baking gear and utensils. The pretty view from the french doors and 2 sets of seating options on the patio enlarge the space, and luggage can slide under the sofa bed so it’s out of the way. Silvia responded promptly to any questions and was extremely accommodating to any requests that we had. Good shopping & dining is nearby. Great stay - looking forward to booking again!

Helen's place is roomy with a well-equipped kitchen and a nice bathroom. The dishwasher and washer/dryer provided added convenience. The location is just off busy Woodside Road with a Safeway market about 5 minutes away on foot.

Great host, very quick to respond the place was wonderful and I enjoyed my stay there and will be definitely looking forward to staying here in the future as well five stars highly recommended!

We chose this stay to host guests over the holidays and it had everything we could’ve needed. The kitchen was functional for cooking breakfast and the rooms were very private and had their own bathrooms. Xing Tian was very helpful when we needed an extra gate key, and when we had any questions. We’ll definitely be coming back!
