"The owner, Linda, is a wealth of information when it comes to what to do in the area. Such a cool lady & best host ever! The cottage has it all. You don’t even need to leave the area to enjoy a full weekend! There’s a shed full of beach goodies including wetsuits of all sizes, boogie boards, surfboard, sand toys, beach bikes & even a wagon to get it everything to the beach & back! The cottage is comfy & inviting! It has all the comforts of home & is well supplied. Linda pays great attention to...

"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."

"Very clean, great space, very nice views and quiet!"

"This was just what our family needed. It’s close to the beach and has enough room for the three of us."

"Bright, sunny, compact. Great spatial arrangement (I like duplexes) and lots of thoughtful touches. But drive a small vehicle (road is windy and narrow)."

"A beautiful property in a quiet lovely hillside neighborhood. We were surrounded by mature trees and vibrant spring blooms. The property was built in a very thoughtful and artful way that made the experience extra special. It truly was a little piece of heaven. We hope to come back someday."

"Overall this is a comfortable place to stay, in a quiet neighborhood. There were a few things that needed attention. First, the oven was dirty, causing the smoke alarm to go off repeatedly during use as soon as it approached set temperature. Second, there was a stool in the kitchen that was extremely rickety and should not have been in use. Finally, and most significant, the garbage disposal did not work. May have been jammed by previous occupants. When this was called in, someone did show up...

"We felt "at home" in this cozy cottage, loved the experience we had."

"Cozy, has everything you could want. Eda was very accommodating in every way. The neighborhood is charming and close to town"

"Great experience. Perfect for a working weekend."

"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...

"Peaceful view towards the ocean through the opened wall of windows. Great room was spacious, well supplied kitchen. Large rainfall shower with good water pressure. However, there is no storage for clothing, so we lived out of suitcases for the 5 days we were there. It met our needs."

"Wonderful home within walking distance to the beach. The home was clean and had basic kitchen supplies. Bed was comfortable and the home was clean. The deck and outdoor shower were the highlights of this home. We enjoyed our stay!!"

"Very cozy, and a great neighborhood. The redwoods are fabulous. Teresa is super nice host."

"I loved every minute staying at this magical retreat! It's located steps from the beach and is perfect for one person. I spent most days on and around the beach, cooked most meals in the well-equipped kitchen, and listened to the waves at night."

"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!"

"The cottage was located in a nice neighborhood and just right for a solo week attending an educational art program. It was private and had all the essentials. The toothbrush and bath loofah were a thoughtful touch."

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

"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...

"The place was nice and clean. I was expecting my security deposit back and I did not receive it cause I was charged for some towels and bed sheet that was stained $225 dollars not fair! Even tho we fixed the broken handle on the stove and our door went bad since the fridge didn't keep our food cold enough. I did not want to complain cause I really they wasn't gonna play me with my deposit but that was very unfair all of that comes off in the wash I'm sure "

"For my needs, it was conveniently located and easily accessible by freeway or public bus. Property needs an outdoor smoming area to be perfect."
