JadeHome -- Townhome style
Guest rating: 4.9 / 5
Overview
JadeHome -- Townhome style is a self-check-in vacation rental in Alameda, California, offering a full two-bedroom, one-bathroom townhome laid out over two floors. The unit has been refinished with hardwood floors in the living room and bedroom and new tile in the dining, kitchen, and bathroom areas, giving the space a clean, simple feel. With 378 reviews and a near-perfect 4.95 rating, it stands out as a well-maintained, home-like alternative to a traditional hotel.
Rooms & Layout
The two bedrooms and single bathroom occupy the upper floor, while the living room, dining area, and kitchen are downstairs, making the layout well suited to two travelers or a small family sharing the space. The living room includes a flat-screen TV and cable TV access, and the home is fully non-smoking and climate-controlled with air conditioning and heating.
Kitchen & Practical Amenities
The kitchen comes equipped with an oven, stove, microwave, and cooking wares, plus a coffee maker for mornings, making it easy for guests to prepare full meals rather than rely on dining out. An in-unit washer and ironing board add further self-sufficiency for longer stays, and free Wi-Fi and free on-property parking are included.
Check-In & Guest Policy
Access is via a keypad lock on the front door, with the code sent after booking, allowing flexible late-arrival check-in and a simple lock-and-leave departure with no cleaning chores required of guests. The property does not allow pets, enforces a strict no-smoking policy indoors with a penalty, and restricts overnight stays to guests included in the reservation.
Location & Surroundings
The townhome sits about five blocks from Alameda's Webster Street commercial district, putting a range of restaurants, cafes, bars, and boutique shops within easy reach, including The Fireside Lounge, Peak brunch restaurant, Ceron Kitchen, and Pier 29 Waterfront Restaurant & Bar. Two bus stops (Lincoln Av & 5th St, and Webster St & Santa Clara Av) sit within a few hundred meters, and ferry terminals at Main Street Alameda and Harbor Bay, plus Oakland Jack London train station, are all within roughly 2.5 to 4.7 km. Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport is about 8 km away and San Francisco International Airport about 19 km away, while South Shore Shopping Center, Crown Beach, and an Alameda dog park are reachable in about a five-minute drive.
Best for
This townhome suits families and small groups who want a full kitchen, laundry, and multiple rooms to spread out in rather than a single hotel room, and it works equally well for business travelers who need a quiet, private base with free Wi-Fi and self-service check-in. Its walkable proximity to the Webster Street dining and shopping district and nearby bus and ferry connections also make it a good fit for travelers who prefer getting around without a rental car.
Travel tips
Bus stops at Lincoln Av & 5th St (241m) and Webster St & Santa Clara Av (562m) make it easy to reach downtown Alameda and Oakland without driving, and the Main Street Alameda Ferry Terminal (about 2.2km) offers a scenic route into San Francisco. Since check-in is self-service via a door code sent after booking, guests arriving late or early don't need to coordinate arrival times with a host. Free on-property parking is available for those who do drive, which is convenient given Oakland San Francisco Bay Airport is under 8km away.
