Guesthouse vacation rentals in El Cerrito

Camille’s retreat is a true oasis, where you can escape the hustle and bustle of the day. Even when relaxing inside, you feel as if you are in the middle of the garden thanks to the large and plentiful windows surrounding you. The only sounds we heard were the birds, who were also enjoying garden. Camille is welcoming and kind and has truly created a serene and lovely space fo repose. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us, Camille.

I was in-and-out, but it seemed like the kind of place I could linger for a spell. It’s a credit to the cottage and how much quality sleep I got that I have so little to report. Our hosts were very quick to respond and eminently reasonable. The location was also excellent. I’d certainly do it again.

simply Laura's family are so wonderful hostess, beautiful persons and the house is very nice place, peaceful, beautiful and for my wife and I will be thinking to return again soon.

we absolutely loved Chantelise's cottage. It was our first flight with our 7 month old and the space was perfect. Our son lived the micro farm. Such a beautiful space. We will be visiting again!

Very quiet and peaceful setting for relaxation and reading and writing. Easy walking to a lot of good restaurants and public transport. Rainbow and Zan were easy to communicate with and facilitated an early check in which was helpful. Would stay here again!

It was a great stay. They have a beautiful property and garden. Berkley is a great walking city. It was fun to explore. This was my 2nd time to Berkeley, and my wife and kid's first. She loved the city. Thanks for a great stay.

Great stay, comfortable home and just what we needed. Hosts were very friendly and helpful for any question we had. Bedroom bed was very comfortable and the house is decorated beautifully as well as very clean. Loved the window seat to relax by. Directions to house were great and helped us find it the first time up the hill. The home manual was very informative and we also loved all the local recommendations. I would definitely recommend this home for others needing to stay on this area.

Charming, Well Appointed, Cottage Behind the main house, past a pathway strewn with various projects-in-the-works, as well as lush greens, is a delightful hideaway. Inside, a fully equipped kitchen, and dining area, which opens on to a living area with a large TV, and a DVD player with a very nice collection of films. The separate room had a very comfortable bed, excellent lighting, a bureau and closet, and a bathroom with a pleasant shower, and very nice towels. Liberal use of skylights brightens the cottage (but if you want less light the skylights are easily covered, controlled by a convenient wall switch.) The quality of products (kitchen and bathroom) is first rate. Although small, everything just works. There’s not a lot of extra room for anything. One needs some creativity to find space for luggage, or to find desk space for a computer. Totally worth it though. We’ll come again.

Andrea's apartment is compact but beautifully appointed. I was working in San Francisco, and having the beauty, convenience and peacefulness of Marin County was well worth the 25 minutes. Whole Foods is a couple of blocks away, and the richness of 4th street restaurants and shops make this the perfect pied-a-terre. Thanks Andrea!

Jill’s place is fabulous. The deck overlooking the creek is even more beautiful and relaxing than we expected. A wonderful base for exploring Marin county, San Francisco, Point Reyes National Seashore and beyond. We would love to come back!

This was our first time staying in a guesthouse, and sharing a space with the owners, and I was completely blown away, we both felt right at home, so much so we didn’t wanna leave haha. Victor and Michelle gave us our privacy but also complete freedom to play music, relax on the patio, and roam around their absolutely beautiful backyard. We were able to come and go as we please and always know our things would be safe. The kitchen had everything you could need, the bed was extra comfy and the shower was a DREAM, the whole experience was incredibly cozy and peaceful. This was truly the best place we both have ever stayed, 1000% would recommend!!!

David‘s place was lovely. We really loved the backyard as it was very tranquil and very beautifully landscaped. If it hadn’t been such a windy week, we would have spent lots of time out there. The inside of that place was lovely and comfortable. David was a very nice host and very helpful as well. We would definitely stay here again.

Martin and his accommodations were the BEST!! We are already planning our next stay.

Alexi's place was wonderful for a three night, mid-week stay. His place is clean and spotless. Quiet and peaceful. The pictures and description are accurate. I found the neighborhood behind his house to be a lovely and hilly place to walk. There is a teeny bit of a walk from parking on the street in front of the house to the unit at the back of the property, but that takes only one minute and is easily doable by anyone. Just keep that in mind if you need to make multiple trips to bring in your things. Alexi is a great host. Very communicative, kind, and easy to interact with.

The Casita in the Trees was the perfect getaway and Melodie and family were amazing hosts. The space has a very nice layout, the kitchen and other rooms are lovely with charming ambiance and thoughtfully stocked, you have everything you need and more. The soft morning birdsong was so pretty amongst the oak trees, the view is spectacular, and Melodie was such a thoughtful and kind host. I would absolutely recommend!

Would highly recommend! We had a lovely time and the breakfast was fantastic!

It was amazing. The scenery was beautiful! The trails were great, check out the one behind the stage at the park up the road. Sarah mentioned it to us and it was well worth the little walk!

The quaint little cottage was tucked away in a peaceful neighborhood, nestled right in the backyard of the owner's home. We absolutely loved spending some quality time together! The beds were comfortable! They were nice and firm, just how I like it. The chickens were absolutely adorable, and they were being taken care of so well! We can't recommend this place enough and are already looking forward to our next visit!

Loved my stay! It was the perfect home base while exploring the Bay Area. Felt super safe—especially as a woman traveling alone—to be behind the main house, a locked gate, and with my own personalized entrance code. The space had everything I needed for a comfortable stay. Would definitely recommend!

My husband spent two nights at Nanci’s cottage (I was unable to go with him). He shared with me the place was spotless, private, quiet, well-appointed, in a great area with lots of walkable restaurants and coffee shops, very comfortable for sleep, and had a beautiful garden with wildflowers near the cottage entrance. It was a perfect spot for him. Highly recommended for a solo traveler or for a cozy couple. Would definitely consider again next time we’re in Oakland.

Truly one of the loveliest places I have ever stayed at. Simply gorgeous and so spacious. Also, the host’s friend was nice enough to go through the trunk of my car to help me unlock it when I lost my keys. Best place I have ever stayed at with Airbnb.

Description and the pictures were all accurate. Very easy walking distance to the BART station with easy access into SF. House is very private and in a nice area. Polina was extremely helpful with making recommendations for SF. Would certainly recommend.

What a great spot!! Totally private and safe, but right by the best park in Oakland. Special bonus that there was kids books!

This was the closest we have felt to a home away from home. Andrew and Leigh have created a hilltop haven that I liken to Big Sur with a hint of Esalen. For those that have never been to either - it was a space to get back in touch with nature and ourselves. Andrew was so helpful and perfect in his communications in the Airbnb app and also in person. The full kitchen gave the option of cooking meals, the small touches of bathroom extras and the detergent for laundry was generous and so appreciated, and the bed was very comfortable. The little vanity desk was just right for working and putting on makeup in natural light. The highlights for us personally involved their animals! Feeding the goats, and meeting their dogs, Rufus and Heidi, was so fun. Heidi is a true boss. We hope to return one day to “Heidi’s Place” and highly recommend this wonderful retreat.
