East Bay Island Community Craftsman Cottage minutes from San Francisco, CA
Alameda is a quaint, walkable island located just 6 miles east of San Francisco across the Bay Bridge. Perfectly situated for exploring the Bay Area, it offers the charm of a small town with easy access to big-city adventures. Our Home offers a Prime Location. We reside only 2 blocks from Downtown Alameda (Park Street), where you’ll find delicious restaurants, cozy cafes, lively bars, a movie theatre and unique local shops. We are just 1 mile to Alameda Beach, featuring a stunning 2+ mile coastal walk with views of the Bay Area Mountains and the San Francisco Skyline. Hop on a 20-minute ferry to San Francisco from Alameda’s docks, or take the BART train from nearby Oakland (2 miles away) for quick access to downtown San Francisco, Berkeley, Lafayette, and Walnut Creek, and more. Drive South along the Pacific Coast Highway and explore beautiful Carmel, Monterey and San Luis Obispo.
