Adorable cottage behind a Victorian. It was very charming and much larger than I expected. I would recommend this place.

I really enjoyed the cottage. Property manager is great and responded quickly when I needed assistance. I loved the area it’s in and Alameda is great. It reminds me of my hometown of Oak Park, IL.
The bed was very comfy eatable. I do recommend upgrading the living room furniture. The couch is very uncomfortable and the whole living room could be arranged to be much more usable.
However, again I really enjoyed the cottage. The patio is fabulous.
I’ll be back!! 🤗

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!

What a cute little cottage. All the amenities were at the cottage. We enjoyed our morning walks. The location felt extremely safe. We will definitely be back.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

Very spacious cottage with comfortable beds and good outdoor area. Only recommendation would be a black out curtain in the bedroom and a heat lamp in the bathroom.
I will definitely stay here again!

Cozy cottage

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.

lovely cottage -- well appointed and spacious. Great kitchen! Was a nice space to have a quiet few days.
4.8
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.

Property was great. Easy check in, very clean, plenty of places to relax and enjoy the yard. Neighborhood is great. Easy parking. Short walk to restaurants. We loved it and so did our dog, will definitely be back!

We booked this house as an alternative to staying in a hotel while celebrating my daughter's Berkeley graduation ceremonies. This was a great place to stay. The host was very responsive! The house accommodated 4 people very comfortably. The only drawback was having to travel back to Alameda from Berkeley. But if you are coming to explore the SF area, this is a perfect place to stay. It's walking distance to the shops and eateries on Webster St. and quick to the city either via car or the ferrry. Highly recommend!

At Home In Alameda
Great location, easy parking and neighborhood seems very safe.
The cottage is very well appointed, clean and quiet. Very roomy for the two of us and our pup. Outdoor space a real bonus.
Webster Street with shops and dining is walking distance.
Excellent stay and have already booked again!

Super cute cottage
We loved our stay here. It was the perfect amount of space for the 2 of us, and had a lovely private backyard that we enjoyed with our dog. The only thing I would mention if I had to come with something, is that we weren’t expecting the larger house in front of the property to be a rental as well. Sometimes small quiet groups and sometimes not so quiet. But overall it was a wonderful stay.

This is a quiet retreat, more spacious than we expected. The single bed with trundle is part of the living room furnishings. The dining table is in the large kitchen. We did laundry. We found everything we needed in the kitchen

Our adult kids live in the Bay Area, but don't have space to put us up in their homes. This house was ideal for us. We stayed 5 nights. Our kids came over with board games. They even made soup and baked bread for us in the well-equipped kitchen. The house was spotless.. Quiet neighborhood. 5 minute walk to beach. 10 minute walk to restaurants.
