Spacious home in the hills of El Cerrito overlooking the Bay.
Open floor plan with large windows and wrap around deck with panoramic views of the entire bay, San Francisco, Golden Gate Bridge and Oakland.

Peaceful location that's close to everything but also in nature with hiking trails across the street and Tilden Regional Park within 10 minutes. Great for visiting professionals or a relaxing getaway from the city.

Street parking only - usually there are 3 to 4 parking spaces in front of the house

Adjacent house is under construction but it is not very noisy. The Accessory Dwelling Unit at the back is gated and has a lovely rescue dog on site.

Loved everything about this place!

Absolutely loved this rental. The host was very communicative before we even arrived and during our stay. The house was very clean, comfortable beds, and the fans were a nice addition. The view from the balcony was absolutely breath taking. Waking up in the morning to the Golden Gate Bridge is something I’ll never forget. Lovely, nice host. I will definitely plan to book here again on our trip next year!

San Fran Fun

In California for the first time ever, visited Alcatraz, Golden Gate and Sanoma wines!!! El Cerrito was a perfect haven! Our host made sure we knew all about the property before our arrival and made sure everything was ready for us. The house was just as described and the view for morning coffee was BEAUTIFUL!!! Living area was spacious and the beds were super comfy!! The neighborhood felt very safe and we even saw wildlife (turkeys and deer)! We highly recommended this host and property!!! Thank you!!!

Family summer vacation

We stayed only one night, but it was really nice house and place. You can have beautiful view of San Francisco downtown over the bay, which was more beautiful in the night. Next time we will stay here for longer.

Amazing house with gorgeous views

Great location, with incredible views of San Fran. Close to Napa, Tilden Park, Berkley and if you want to take the Bart into SF, close to that too. House is clean, comfortable and feels like home. Host is super responsive. Highly recommended!

Nice house

The photos are accurate & the house is clean. The view is amazing! There are only a couple of minor drawbacks….there is no AC, a fact that I didn’t even think to check for. There are plenty of fans, but it got quite warm in the living area. Parking is on the street, which is down a very steep driveway. I would recommend this house.

Great stay in the Bay

After a series of excellent communications with our host, Wendy, I was not surprised to find the property as lovely as it appeared on the website. The house was as shown. It was immaculate and the self check-in was easy. The drive is steep and parking is at a premium, but it was a non-issue for the younger members of our group of three. I highly recommend this property with the excellent view of the Bay to anyone staying in the El Cerrito area. Make sure your online map system is functional. Those roads can be quite confusing but worth the effort once you get to your destination. Thanks Wendy!

Incredible view and thoughtful host

Looking out the front of the property is incredible. Lots of light and space in the living room/kitchen. Host was gracious and responsive. They’ve set it up thoughtfully for guests, stocked with all the essentials and even some things one might have forgotten like a toothbrush. I was nervous once I realized we were sharing a wall with other residents because of our loud toddler. The bedroom in the back would have been really nice if you could open the big sliding door and open the curtains but there were building materials stacked outside on that side of the house. Overall a fantastic spot.

Great home and view but access to doorway is difficult for mobility impaired

This is a very nice property with an owner who responded quickly to our every need. However, I would caution anyone who has difficulty walking up an incline that there is a steep curving driveway to the front door. You are not allowed to park at the top of the driveway (street parking is available) and you can not turn around at the top. You must back your car down the steep curving driveway. In summary, if you are physically fit this is no problem. But if you are elderly or disabled, it is.
