BridgesView Spa & Couples Retreat with 2 easy parking spaces & laundry

Located just 30 minutes away from San Francisco our luxurious suite features a beautiful view towards the Bay and Golden Gate Bridges, designed especially for couples wanting a romantic getaway or anyone needing a relaxing space. Soak and play in a gorgeous bathroom featuring a two-person jetted tub. Easy street parking is always available, and garden lined exterior stairs take you to the private entry and exterior patio. A laundry is provided for exclusive guest use. Hikes into the canyon below or neighborhood above are a special treat.

This studio was designed by owner/architects, located on the lower level of their beautiful Mediterranean styled home, but has complete privacy with a separate entry and patio. The decor is modern and welcoming. The windows overlook a sea of California oak and bay trees to an amazing view of the new Bay Bridge tower, San Francisco, and the Golden Gate Bridge beyond. Fireworks in San Francisco can be enjoyed from the bed or the patio!

The suite features a wonderful king-sized bed; a beautiful designer bathroom with two-person tub, walk-in shower; plus a modern, unique kitchenette featuring Lavazza espresso coffee maker with complimentary coffee pods. Kitchenette includes filtered hot and cold water dispensers, microwave, small refrigerator, induction cooktop, and a "Ninja" oven that can toast, bake, broil, and air-fry! The dining table features a beautiful view as well.

The suite is naturally cool in summer, but an air conditioner is provided for those occasional hot days. Radiant heated floors are marvelous on cool days in the Bay Area. A laundry room with full sized washer and dryer is available for your exclusive use.

But the best part is the view...you can watch the sunrise illuminate downtown Oakland and San Francisco, enjoy ever changing sunsets, or perhaps witness a carpet of fog crowned by a clear blue sky. You will delight in the ever-changing view!

We are often not home and will not meet you unless you want to. We value our privacy and yours.

Oakland is centrally located in the Bay area and enjoys great sunny weather year round. Our neighborhood is called Oakmore Highlands and overlooks Dimond Canyon Park, which features a wonderful hiking trail. It's a very nice walking street, with friendly neighbors. Also very popular with bicycle riders.

Transportation and parking are very convenient. There is ample on-street free parking on this quiet street with only one immediate neighbor. Freeway access is very quick and easy via highway Highway 13 and I-580. San Francisco is about 20 minutes away, or a convenient commute via BART from its nearby Rockridge Station. We are very near the University of California at Berkeley campus (~18 min.) and major highways 80, 580, 24 and 880, which can whisk you to the vibrant galleries of Sausalito (40 minutes), San Jose (50 minutes), or Santa Cruz (90 minutes). If you are up for a day-long outing, don't miss the grand Muir Woods, wine tours in Napa, or mud baths in Calistoga. Quick access to sunshine on foggy days via the Caldecott Tunnel to points east - Orinda, Lafayette, Walnut Creek, and Lake Tahoe (~3 1/2 hours.)

If you need anything please contact us. We take great pride in our property - we want to hear about anything which is not to your satisfaction or is not working properly.

Perfect home away from home
This is a must stay!! The location was perfect and the property is beautiful. The home is loaded with amenities and San Francisco was only about a 20 minute drive. The area is filled with quaint restraints and stores. We could not have stayed at a better place if we tried!

Relaxing stay with a Wonderful View
We highly recommend this wonderful apartment when you are visiting the area. The owners have put a lot of thought and care into their rental as is evident in their well appointed kitchen and upgraded bathroom...heated flooring no less! Relax in a very quiet setting with a private entrance and beautiful view. The owners responded quickly to all inquiries and also provided a welcome basket filled with goodies and all that you would need for a quick breakfast of coffee, croissants and fruit. Really enjoyed our stay.

I loved it here! I want to move in. After my trip I went home and was disappointed because I realized the VRBO bed was more comfortable than my own. Marianne is very nice and easy to communicate with. 11/10 stay

Oakland At It's Best
What agreat place to stay! We were in Oakland for six days visiting our son and playing.The location was perfect. Walking a beautiful and quiet nieborhood,biking out the door in the Oakland Hills, and some very good restuarants minutes away. The apartment is quiet, private and very comfortable. A perfect place to come "home" to after an active day. I would recommend this accomodation to anyone. I will definitely stay here on my next visit to Oakland.

Our best Oakland stay!
We have visited our daughter/son-in-law/grandchild 6 different times and used VRBO to book a place to stay. This by far has been the nicest rental that we have stayed at. The location was perfect for us. The accommodation were very comfortable. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The bathroom has a heated tile floor so you are always warm and comfy getting out of the tub/shower. The kitchen is fully stocked so if you plan on cooking you would have everything you need. Marianne provides you a welcome breakfast basket to get your stay off to a great start. The internet, TV, and Cable provided you with all you need to stay connected. We are looking forward to our next stay where we can book this rental again.

Great Stay !
I would highly recommend this apartment. I debated staying in San Francisco or Oakland. I'm glad I stayed in this apartment in Oakland. The drive to San Francisco was only 30 min. The apartment was worth the drive. The house was very well maintained. The apartment was exactly like the pictures. The heated floor in the bathroom was very nice. It was in a very nice neighborhood. The laundry room downstairs was very large and a big plus for me. The kitchen was well stocked. The price is great for all that your getting. Thanks Marianne!

Loved the location, the condition, and the experience
Don't knock it because its Oakland. It's a GORGEOUS neighborhood. I stayed at the house with my son and a friend. It's not the main house, but a separate entrance to an apartment space that had one bedroom, and one full bath. The living area had a pull out couch. So two sleeping spots. The whole unit was super upgraded (granite, travertine, stainless appliances etc.) , beautiful, and was incredibly comfortable! Distant but very nice views of the Bay Bridge and even the Golden Gate Bridge. Quiet as heck! Perfectly easy parking on the street at the house. One flight of stairs to get to the unit. The whole stay was WAY BETTER than a hotel. A nice hotel will get you smaller space, and endless extra charges for parking, and $5 for a bottled water. NOT HERE. Fully furnished kitchen with dishes, oven stove, and full size Fridge!! We used it! 5 days!! No $5 cans of soda like in a hotel! The only downside to this home was that the wi-fi didnt work well in the living room. It worked great in the bedroom, but not the living room. Elsewise, I would stay here again in an instant. They also have a free to use washer/dryer. Drive to the bay bridge is maybe 15 minutes tops. Traffic is going suck in the bay no matter where you stay. Also close to stadium where A's/Raiders play... maybe 10 minute drive. But we spent most time in San Fran. Only $5 to cross the Bay Bridge and you only have to pay when going to SF. You dont pay when going back to the Oakland side. Totally would stay here again!!!!!

A Beautiful Apartment
We had a great time in the Bridges View apartment. It’s well equipped, quiet, and has a very comfortable layout. We slept well and had a great visit with our California family. Thank you!

Lovely and Quaint Apartment
My husband and I needed a place to stay while visiting our son who lives in Oakland. He recommended the Oakland Hills area. I soon came across Marianne’s quaint little apartment with views of SF. The price was right too. The apartment was clean with a comfortable bed and had all the amenities a vacationing couple could possibly need. Although we were gone most of the day, it was nice to come back to a peaceful and quiet apartment.

Cozy, clean and upscale
This lovely apartment is situated in the Oakland hills with a marvelous view of Bay Area bridges. It is perfect for a couple and makes for a peaceful getaway in a great residential neighborhood with two parking spaces available. The apartment is beautifully decorated and stocked with most everything you could need. Full compact kitchen and comfy bed. Be aware that there are several flights of steps down, but the location makes the walk worth it. The owner is a friendly and gracious hostess. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Beatiful appartment with a stunning view
The appartment is a nice and cosy place to come home to after a day in the city. Its well decorated, clean en all amenities. The recently renewed sofa/bed is a good sleeper. We appreciated the peace and quietness of the place every night we came 'home'. One thing to take into consideration is that you do need a car..The location is rather far from the city. Also keep in mind the rush hours at the freeways. But latter items are easily solved by planning..just leave after 10.00am en return a little later at night. Altogether we had a wonderful five days in the Bay area and we can really recommend the Oakmore Leimert appt. Many thanks to Mrs and Mr. Miller for their hospitality
