Oakland Gem

This place was absolutely amazing! Our friends were in town for a fantasy football draft and decided to stay here and I gotta say everyone was impressed. The view is breathtaking and there’s so much space! Great location too, central to everything without the hussel and bustle of the city. My husband and I were sad to say goodbye. Cannot recommend this place enough!

Awesome place in Oakland

Highly recommend Drew’s place in the Bay Area! Spectacular view - we loved watching the sunsets and the city lights! House was very spacious - loved the open living space and kitchen. It was clean and as described. Location was safe and near trails. Drew was a great host that was responsive and helpful. We will definitely stay at Drew’s place again!!

Executive Leadership Retreat

We rented this beautiful house for an executive leadership retreat. The location was perfect - sweeping views, quiet area, and very inviting amenities. We made ourselves at home to dive deep into the business, bond over food, and spend time together outside the office. We communicated closely with Drew and I felt completely supported by them for every need and question. Thanks for having us!!

Felt like home! Amazing view.

Highly recommend staying at Drews Place! Place was beautiful, clean, spacious and very comfy. Had 5 of us staying and had plenty of room. We loved the firepit and the view was amazing. Greocery store close by if needing anything. Esay check in and Drew responds very quick if you need anything. Place has everything you need including a tablet that shows how to work things, which came in handy. Equiped with almost everything you need and very homey enviroment to stay. Definitely would come stay again and recomend to anyone coming to stay in the oakland area.

Gorgeous house, incredible views

This is a five star house. The only reason I gave it only four is that we were a senior group, somewhat mobility impaired. Please note that views=stairs. Some are a bit narrow and steep. But for families and groups, it’s an amazing place. Well equipped and definitely set up for bigger groups. Loved our stay overall.
