About this property

Garden Bungalow Apt on the Island of Alameda

This 1940's, jewel of a rental allows you to escape the chaos of your days and rest inside a tandem, bungalow-style five-unit oasis that enters from a lushly landscaped courtyard where fresh air abundantly flows through the windows of every room. The serene setting creates a quiet, peaceful atmosphere for your travels.

Your bedroom hosts a queen sized bed lined with crisp, cotton linens, along with a fold-out sofa in the living room that also provides a large desk if working is necessary.

Recently remodeled, the kitchen is fully supplied and ready for you to add groceries and prepare meals to be enjoyed at the eat-in kitchen table. You have your choice of a bath or shower in the updated bathroom. Hardwood floors throughout and an on-site, coin operated laundry facility is available. No need for you to struggle with parking, you will have a coveted, dedicated off-street parking space! If you're a reader, you'll have to check out the Little Library located out front.

This guest unit is situated away from the street in a quiet residential area, centrally located on the charming Island of Alameda. Our Island was once known as "The Coney Island of the West" where wealthy vacationers from San Francisco would come to spend their summers on the beach. Now, well known for the fabulous views of The City from the long stretch of beach on the Bay, tree-lined streets with sidewalks and bike lanes, one of the largest collections of Victorian homes and other architectural masters, the USS Hornet air craft carrier from WWII, filming of many movies and headquarters of several well known companies. If you're lucky enough to visit during the 4th of July, we also have the longest parade in the country! Not to be missed is the fully restored Art Deco period theater downtown.

Perfectly situated in the San Francisco Bay, within a ten minute drive to the Oakland Airport, guests can easily walk to coffee shops, cafes, local groceries, shopping, and best of all; the beach is only a four-block walk away!
There are two ferry terminals that that transport you to San Francisco and other ports around the Bay including Pier 39, the SF Ferry Building, Sausalito, Larkspur, The Giants games, etc. We are located within a 10 minute drive from to Oakland Coliseum where you can catch an A's baseball game or concert.

There are about five steps leading into the unit, in case of mobility issues

This is very special. As you stay a week, you realize how all the things you have at home are here, and good quality too. It's beautiful, the seats outside are idyllic, I've used it just to reflect even for 5 minutes. This is a wonderful home and a very beautiful home as well, beautiful bath. kitchen, table at window... So restful for your holiday.

Excellent choice for a stay in Alameda
This is the third time in 2023 that we stayed about a week in Alameda. All three of the stays were good, but we give this our highest rating. The property itself has a great location in the center of Alameda though closer to the east end (Park Street) than to the west end (Webster Street). The street where the rental is located is very quiet, but only a short distance from Encinal Avenue, and its small business district with a market (Encinal Market) and a great coffeehouse (Blue Dot) with homemade baked goods and simple breakfasts. From the vrbo it's about a one mile walk to Park Street with its excellent array of places to eat, drink and shop. South Shore Center is a major shopping center nearby, with all of the necessaries including a splashy Safeway, Trader Joe's, and much more. The lodging is cozy but more than adequate for two guests. It's nicely furnished with everything you will need. It's very quiet as is the street that it's on. It's not a limitation, but be aware that if you have an automobile (vs an SUV or truck) you will need to park on the street. The parking space is a steep ramp from the street to the garage. We tried, but our sedan scraped the sidewalk as it was partly on the street and its front end on the ramp. We didn't try further, and simply reversed back into the street and parked the car there. We never had an issue finding close-by street parking There aren't any day-of-the-week or time of day restrictions. You'll really like this vrbo!

Great Quiet Apartment
We stayed at Betty's rental for 10 days over Thanksgiving while visiting family at Alameda. The location was convenient, safe and quiet. The apartment itself was very comfortable and clean. Online pictures and information are accurate. Hopefully we can stay here again the next time we travel to Alameda. As other people have mentioned, the parking spot was great! Ken & Kathe

About the host

Hosted by Betty Gladden

Host profile image
Betty owned and operated The Garratt Mansion Bed and Breakfast here on the Island for 30 years where she fine tuned the art of hospitality by engaging with guests from all over the world as well as hosting many weddings and events on site. This may be a new listing, but we are no strangers to the vacation rental market, just took a break for a bit.

Why they chose this property

This property is Betty's favorite because of the peaceful design courtyard setting. Alameda is known for it's near perfect weather year-round and every room is complete with fully operating windows to allow this must-have bay breeze to flow through. This property is in an excellent neighborhood and location that you can walk just about anywhere you need.
