Book a El Cerrito Cottage

"We had a great time when we stayed at Ted's place. It was central to the events at Berkeley. Ted helpful and was available to assist us when we got there with some details."

"This is a fantastic little comfortable house close to the beach. The best part is the private wind-protected backyard for relaxing, eating, and hot tubbing. The beds are super comfortable. The only downside was that many of the pots/pans required washing before use."

"The universe smiled down on me by allowing me to find this hidden gem. This space is amazing. The amount of beauty and love that has been brought to this space by John and Arthur is simply amazing beyond words. I will travel back again just so I can stay in this beautiful Hidden Zen Gem. I am grateful beyond words."

"This place is delightful. It is right on the beach and you can wake up to the sound of the pacific. The owner, Angela, is lovely and welcoming."

"Location, location, location. We love being so close to the beach. Your cottage is adorable and we loved it again. As far as feedback, we have some. The backyard was a bit run down this time. The fence was broken I imagine from the rain storms . It also looks as though the gardener left piles which were needed to be recycled into the green bin. Last time the back yard was pristine. The bed was also a bit soft this time. Everything breaks down eventually. Just feedback for you. On the whole,...

"My partner and I had a pleasant stay in the cottage which was private, clean, bright and comfortable, though dated and as we were told, will eventually be renovated. For our stay it was very functional. The kitchen is equipped with full sized appliances and a dishwasher. There is a small laundry room in the cottage with full-sized washer and dryer, great for stays over a few days. The bedroom has a comfortable bed and lovely views out to the trees. The bathroom was small with a tiny shower...

"Completely comfortable - would definitely stay again."

"Very cute little beach house. Easy in/out, close to the beach. Only negative would be lack of an oven to cook. Otherwise, place was clean, really enjoyed it. Would stay again, for sure."

"Comfortable stay in an idyllic location with the the best of Berkeley nearby."

"We are locals and this was the perfect getaway to our favorite beach in the area. Easily walkable to restaurants, the beach, and one of our top hikes (Matt Davis). Perfect for a family of 4. It's part of a hub of cottages and I would love to look into booking out a block of them with families/friends. Property interior is super cute and newly renovated. Can't wait to return!"

"I loved my stay at this comfortable, quiet, private cottage. It was a perfect location close to stores, restaurants and the sights I wanted to see. There were even two deer who hung out under the trees outside the carport. I appreciated the kitchen which was equipped with everything I needed. Once I needed to contact the host about something and she responded immediately. I would definitely stay here again."

"The rental exceeded all my expectations! I especially loved the quiet and secluded location of the cottage. The interiors are thoughtfully appointed and designed, providing a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. All the amenities I needed were available, including an ironing board, iron, fridge, and toaster. It was delightful to sit on the deck and relax in the sun. Even small details such as bathroom towels and bathroom tissue were of premium quality! I had a bit of trouble finding the correct...

"The unit itself was very nice, well appointed and in a great location. It had everything we needed to cook and bake. The fresh loaf of local bread was a really nice surprise. At the time of our stay (May 2024) the staircase down to the unit was under construction. The only way down to the unit was a dangerous trail with wobbly steps. This was a challenging climb in and out, but with luggage, it was a nightmare."

"The cottage was very nice, clean, organized fully stocked with everything you could need. I highly recommend."

"It was a pleasure to stay here, thanks Swami! The furnishings are quite sparse but all nicely comfortable and functional, with very good facilities all around in the bathroom and the well-equipped kitchen. It is relaxingly quiet and private, and in a pleasant area. Great location for a visiting academic (as I am), with an easy walk to the university campus, lots of restaurants of all kinds nearby, and BART station. I’d be very happy to stay again on future visits!"

"Cute shabby chic-style casita - 5 min walk to beautiful clean beach, coffee/lunch/snack/ice cream/dinner options plus a little general store across the street. The main casita has one bedroom, 1 bath, living/dining and kitchen. Back casita has just bed/bath. They are connected via 2 lush & lovely courtyards: one with the grill and the other with firepit, chairs and picnic table dining. Landscaping is very zen and we could hear the ocean at night. Interior-wise, has anything you could need and is...

"We rented this for an ACL surgery recovery and it was the perfect space!"

"I wanted some place to unwind after a long road trip and this South San Francisco gem was just perfect. With all of the comforts of home, I was able to prepare meals, sleep as I pleased and enjoy solitude and silence"

"Good and safe personal very friendly "

"Everything was great with the property. I would have loved to watch tv before bed but all wax well. "

"First let me say, we had a great time at this property. This is a small house in the city. Great location. We could walk to restaurants and play pickleball at the playground next store. It had three good size bedrooms, with super comfy beds. Only one real bathroom and shower, as the second bathroom was tiny and only had a toilet. But we managed to make it work, once we figured out how to get the hot water. I finally broke down on the second day and messaged the host, and he responded very...
