This was such a relaxing place to stay. You have your own dock with many items to use not just a bbq. We spoke with Gary a few times. Once was regarding the bathroom fan, he was very empathetic and responsive. Lisa, we only got a chance to say hi in passing. We didn’t get to spend much time here… wish we did. For our first VRBO type stay, it was a huge success. Thank you Gary and Lisa for having us.

As soon as we got there, we tried to heat up our food in the microwave and the breaker goes. This happened throughout our stay. At one point we were without power to our fridge bathroom and TV. He finally got an electrion to come out on Friday, the day we were leaving. Was not a fun time.

Bedroom is in a condo, but has its own entrance. Table and chairs on deck is shared with owner. Owner very nice! Room needs a bit of a cleaning - shower somewhat moldy. Cobwebs on the walls. Water, coffee maker, snacks included - nice touch. "Kitchenette" is actually in a closet - kinda strange. Perfect location in Alameda.

The location was very nice but the room was VERY hot and the mobile air conditioner was not functional. Be aware that this is a room in a house with a separate entrance but you do share walls with the owners. There were plenty of towels and bottles of water along with a few snacks which was nice. But the used bottles of shampoo/body wash in the shower kind of grossed me out. Also, the tv was older and not a smart tv so there were few channels and not great reception.

Our room was very nice. You can’t really prepare food there but they have converted a closet into a small kitchenette with a refrigerator microwave and coffee maker. If you are just going to sleep there it is perfect. It is attached to their living quarters so you can hear them which means they can hear you. Beautiful setting right on the bay. Would definitely stay there again.
