Gorgeous home in the heart of walking Rockridge neighborhood.


Our new 2 bedroom, 3 bath Craftsman home is located in the heart of Oakland’s Rockridge area. It is a charming walk friendly neighborhood which has ample restaurants, markets, boutique shops, and many modes of public transportation. Rockridge has a blend of urban action yet still maintains a friendly neighborhood with a welcoming sense of community. Our Gary Parsons designed home has 2 bedrooms/2 baths upstairs (including a deep soaking tub) and a vaulted ceiling, light filled master suite.

Walk less than 10 minutes to numerous popular restraurants, bars, coffee shops, exercise studios, spas, food markets. High end kitchen, barbecue and fire pit for your use.

Enjoyed Christmas and New Years in Rockridge!
We have stayed at Ed’s lovely home several times and always enjoyed it. Rockridge is a wonderful, vibrant neighborhood. Ed’s home is situated right off College Ave and very close to where our daughter’s family lives. We kitchen is well appointed and TV etc work great. We unreservedly recommend this lovely VRBO.

New house; great location
All new and very clean. Excellent location near all the restaurants and shops of College Avenue, in Rockridge. Ed was a super host, responded quickly every time we contacted him. This was our 2nd stay at this lovely home.

Wonderful Rockridge Home
Conflicted about writing a review because I want it to be available the next time we visit Rockridge. This is head and shoulders above other homes we’ve visited. Spacious, comfortable, clean, equipped with everything you need in a great location.

Gem of a home in Rockridge!
We have stayed at Ed’s lovely home multiple times, and each time we comment how much we enjoy it. It is perfect in every way: wonderful neighborhood (restaurants, coffee shops, book stores etc) super comfortable home (clean, nice furnishings, including cookware, appliances, great showers and bathrooms in general, good wifi.) Ed is a wonderful host, super helpful if you have questions but otherwise makes you feel like it’s your home while you’re there. Suffice it to say, we’ve already made our next reservation.

Family Visit in Rockridge
This is a fabulous property. The kitchen and baths are completely updated. The kitchen includes every utensil/pot/pan/dish you need to make dinner. So many don't! It is close to markets, restaurants, and transportation. My family agreed that we would definitely stay here again. Thanks to the host for providing such wonderful accommodations.

From the moment we checked in to Ed's house we knew it was going to be special. Ed was a great host and lived up to who I thought he would be based on our pre-occupancy emails. The house is wonderful, is fully equipped and in a great location just off of College Street nearby many of Berkeley and Oakland's best restaurants. Ed facilitated parking for our rental car by pre-purchasing our parking permits for us for the month we were there. In all this was a 5-star place to stay. No doubt we will be returning!

A Rockridge Jewel
This is the second time my husband and I have stayed at this lovely Rockridge home. Again, we had a wonderful time! The house is perfectly appointed and so comfortable. Our host, Ed, is kind and responsive, though seldom needed because the house is so carefully maintained. We love the neighborhood and we will return! Thank you.

Lovely home next to College Ave in ❤️ of. Rockridge
Between the home, which has been totally remodeled and offers every convenience, and the neighborhood which is adjacent to College Ave (restaurants, shops, book stores, BART stop, TJ and coffee shops), we had a wonderful time staying at this VRBO. The TV offerings were also great (important to my husband during baseball playoffs:). Home is full of light and super comfortable. We already have made plans to return. Thank you!

Very comfortable rental
We enjoyed our stay in Oakland. Ed’s home is very comfortable and the location worked out great for us. I enjoyed the kitchen and gas grill outside making quite a few of our meals. The kitchen could use a new skillet. The ones available were a little past their prime. Also, it was very warm when we visited and the beds only have heavy duvets on them. There was only one light weight blanket to use. Most of the nights we needed a little more than a sheet and the duvet was just too warm. Overall, I think this was a gem of a rental. We appreciated how clean the home was. Walkability to the shops, restaurants and Bart station was perfect. Thank you Ed for allowing us to stay in your home. We hope to be back again.
