About this house rental
Welcome to our elegant, newly renovated 2BR/3BA designer home by Gary Parsons, just minutes from UC Berkeley in Oakland’s charming Rockridge neighborhood.
Spanning two beautifully renovated levels, the home offers a refined balance of comfort, style, and livability, making it an ideal place to settle in for a weekend visit or a longer stay. It is especially well suited for family visits, Berkeley stays, and time spent exploring the East Bay. The living room features a luxury American Leather queen sofa bed, known for its exceptional comfort, along with a nearby full bathroom for added flexibility and convenience.
The kitchen is fully equipped with high-end appliances, including a six-burner gas stove, and is thoughtfully stocked for cooking and entertaining, with service for up to 10 dinner guests. Both floors enjoy abundant natural light by day, while sophisticated dimmable lighting creates a warm, inviting atmosphere in the evening.
The dining area opens to a small south-facing deck with a barbecue and fire pit, ideal for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or relaxing at the end of the day.
From the house, you can easily walk to excellent restaurants, cafés, markets, bookstores, boutiques, fitness studios, and spas. BART and other nearby transit make it easy to get around Berkeley, Oakland, and San Francisco, while the neighborhood itself offers the charm, convenience, and walkability that make Rockridge such a favorite place to stay.
Whether you’re visiting Berkeley, spending time with family, or simply looking for a stylish and welcoming home base in the East Bay, this home offers a comfortable place to settle in and enjoy the neighborhood.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
This delightful house is in one of the most walkable neighborhoods in Oakland. I lived in the neighborhood for 30 years, so I know. Every detail about the house was thought out, including the heated toilet. I rented this for family coming from Italy. My 87 yo cousin and his daughter. They loved it. The house is off College Ave, a main shopping/eating street in Oakland. Market Hall with all the food and wine shops is just blocks away. Trader Joe’s is just on the other side of the BART station. So many restaurants and coffee shops. This the best part of Oakland.

Once again, a wonderful stay at this home. The house is very comfortable, the location is fantastic, and the owners are very responsive. Would return again.

6 / 10Average·Oct 2024
The listing said parking available in the driveway. There was NO safe parking in the driveway. Street parking was restricted. We found that out after our arrival.
The house was modern and well equipped. The listing said there was a pool - no pool. The listing said there was an elevator- no elevator. The listing said there was a desk and a desk chair, it had neither.
