As all of the other reviews have explained, Tom’s place was perfect for a relaxing getaway for my boyfriend and me. He checked in on us during our stay to make sure everything was going well and quickly got back to us with any questions overall. I didn’t realize how close to the water the house was, as you can wake up and look right out to the bay. Oakland beach was a typical bay beach, yet wasn’t as clean as most beaches. However, it was very peaceful and no big crowds which was nice! In general, I would recommend Tom’s place to anyone.
