*Please read out entire listing before booking :)

When you enter the home you will be greeted by sweeping views of Oakland, SF and the Bay. There are Bay views from every room in the house and the sunsets are to die for. The upper floor is open concept and boasts the living room, office, dining room, kitchen, bedroom with full bed and full bathroom. The living room couch is incredibly comfortable and this is where your fifth guest may sleep.

The lower level is a primary suite with King bed and its own full bathroom. The bathtub is a little funky (previously refinished and starting to show wear in the finish) but the water pressure is exceptional. A second office/walk in closet and laundry area completes this level.

The hot tub is located right off the primary bathroom and can also be accessed down the side stairs by the succulent garden. The views from the hot tub are exceptional and the hot tub is covered allowing for cozy tubs during any type of weather. During the warmer summer and fall months we suggest turning the hot tub down from 104 degrees to 100 degrees. It makes for a more refreshing visit.

OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
Our neighborhood is very friendly and there is a 10 acre open space off-leash dog park nearby with lovely hiking trails that wrap around the hill. The views and nature are incredibly satisfying and we hope you have a chance to check explore.

GETTING AROUND
Our neighborhood is central to everything in Oakland, however it is also very much off the beaten path. Please plan for most travel requiring a car. It is 8 minutes to the nearest grocery store, 8 minutes to the Oakland Zoo, 10 minutes to Downtown Oakland/BART, and 20-60 minutes to San Francisco depending upon traffic. The best times of day to travel are between 9am and 2pm to avoid traffic on the highways.

PARKING
Guests are welcome to park in the driveway, just in front of the driveway gate. There is also ample street parking. Given that the front gate can be mechanically temperamental, we are not offering secured parking or garage access at this time.

AIR CONDITIONING
Please note that we do not have AC. Oakland's hottest month is October, although July - November can average between 72 and 80 degrees. In October the temperature can reach the mid 90's and on very rare days, 100 degrees. There are three ceiling fans on the upper level and a window AC unit in the upper bedroom if you really need to cool off. We've found that keeping the blinds, doors and windows closed on the upper floor in the morning keeps the house nice and cool through the afternoon. We specifically picked the blinds on the upper floor to keep the sun out but allow the views in so you will not be without beautiful vistas while you stay cool.

SMART TV(s)
Please note that while we do have Smart TV's, we DO NOT offer cable TV. There is an app via Samsung that allows you to watch many additional channels, but the primary feature we offer is the ability to login and stream your own services such as Netflix, Apple TV, Hulu, etc from either TV. Please be sure to log out of your apps before you leave!

PET FEE
There is a $75 pet fee per pet and your pets must be:
a) well-behaved
b) house trained

PET RULES
1. 2 dogs max!
2. Make sure they go potty outside and pick up their poop.
3. Trim their nails (especially big dogs) before your arrival as to avoid any additional damage to the hardwood floors.
4. Do not leave them unattended in the house, unless they are crated.
5. Do not let them on the couch/bedding if they are heavy shedders. A cozy dog bed has been provided for them to use.
6. If you intend to let them outside unattended, walk the property to ensure that all gates are closed and that they cannot jump the fence (some large dogs are incredible jumpers!).
7. Keep them leashed on walks in the neighborhood.
8. Wipe their feet and do not let them in on the carpet with wet or muddy paws.

HOUSE RULES
Our house rules are simple, first and foremost, enjoy yourself! You are here to relax and rejuvenate. With that in mind, please adhere to the following house rules while you enjoy your stay:

Quiet Hours:
Quiet hours are 11PM-8AM. You are still welcome to hot tub during the hours between, but please no loud music or conversation.

No shoes inside:
Please remove your shoes when in the home, especially on the carpet downstairs.

No smoking inside the home:
Please remember that there is NO SMOKING of any kind inside the home. What you do outside of the home is up to you. If you do smoke, please use a can or bottle to dispose of your butts and throw them in the outside trash when you leave.

Shower Before You Hot Tub:
Please be sure to rinse off before entering the hot tub. The objective is to make sure all hair products, lotions, and natural body oils are rinsed away before entering the spa sanctuary.

Our hot tub technician (Tony) will service the hot tub every Monday between 12pm and 2pm. There’s nothing you need to do but be aware of this as he will let himself onto the property to do the job. Please wait at least one hour after he's gone to enjoy the tub again. This will allow the water to come back to a balanced state before you enjoy it.

REVIEWS
We kindly ask for your understanding and compassion when sharing feedback about our home. We understand that each experience can vary, and what might not meet one person's expectations may exceed another's. We genuinely value your input, appreciate your feedback and are committed to making this the most comfortable home you've ever visited. Should you need help with anything or have questions about something that will improve your stay, please do not hesitate to reach out during your stay so that we can help you.
