Beautiful, relaxing home with natural light & beautiful views of San Francisco.


Listing Description

Quiet, peaceful home in the Richmond Hills, close to Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco, Marin County, and Wine Country. This house offers private entry, plenty of free parking, and is close to BART. Child, family, and pet-friendly. Great wifi for working from home.

Whether you are looking for a weekend getaway or a place to settle in for a few weeks with your family, this calm and comfortable home is the perfect setting.

Use it as a home base for exploring the many sites and cities the Bay Area offers. Drive to wine country, or take BART into the city.

Staying local? Explore Wild Cat Canyon, a beautiful regional park within a 15-minute walk with multiple trails and eucalyptus trees. Walk to the local market or check out the many restaurants and cafes in the surrounding area.

Need a relaxing day indoors? Read in a living room full of natural light, with large windows showcasing the San Francisco Bay and city skyline. Fruit trees adorn the front patio, and a garden oasis promises a sun-drenched afternoon. The three bedrooms are furnished with comfortable beds, and one of the rooms can easily function as an office.

Note: The in-law unit (downstairs, separate entrance) is occupied by my daughter and our golden doodle. They are quiet and respectful and can help with any questions or needs you have during your stay. The backyard is not for guests use.

Neighborhood Description

The East Richmond Hills neighborhood is a peaceful and friendly neighborhood that is close to the freeway and BART, yet feels like a hidden gem off the beaten path. Here are some of the beautiful places our neighborhood has to offer:

Dog-friendly parks:
Wildcat Canyon Regional Park https://www.ebparks.org/parks/wildcat/ - 1 mile
Mira Vista Field (entrance on Zinn St.) - 0.2 miles
Point Isabel - 5 miles. While a bit farther, this is a dog and human paradise where dog owners can enjoy coffee and snacks while their pups socialize)
Food and drinks:
Arlington market - 0.3 miles
Catahoula Coffee - 1.4 miles
Dozens of restaurants with 4 stars and above on San Pablo Ave - 1.2 miles
Our favorite cafes and restaurants are on Solano Ave in Albany, CA - 5.5 miles
Sightseeing
San Francisco downtown - 16 miles. Although traffic in Bay Area can slow down access to the city, it only takes 20-30 min to drive to San Francisco when roads are clear. There are two ways to drive to the city: via the Bay Bridge and via the Richmond / Golden Gate bridges. This helps when there is heavy traffic on one of the routes. BART is also a great way to get to the city and the station is 5 min drive from the house. It is also accessible by bus.
UC Berkeley - 10 miles
Marin County - 16 miles
Napa Valley - 30 miles
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom - 18 miles

As a frequent traveler myself, I appreciate places like my home that allow you to get the feel of real life and avoid tourist traps.

Perfect for 6
My 5 family members and I stayed for 2 nights over Thanksgiving and it was just wonderful. The house is cute and comfortable with Gorgeous views. It's out of the hustle and bustle to downtown but still close stores. The neighborhood felt safe and the couple of neighbors we saw were friendly. 10 out of 10 would stay here again. My only suggestion would be to bring a couple gallons of water for drinking if you're not used to city water! Lol

Great location!
Great location and fantastic views! Advertisement on Vrbo suggests back patio and hot tub are part of rental but there is someone living downstairs and so those are private. I think in the instructions to the place, it suggests you can ask to use those but we didn’t see those right away so when I went back there, I surprised the tenant and her dog. That was fine cause hot tub wasn’t what I wanted anyway. Just a little misleading in the advertisement. Otherwise, a fantastic place!

Just what I needed, quiet , peaceful, property. It’s in a settled community where you can walk for hours and see beautiful views and interesting variety of landscapes. Easy access within minutes to Freeway if wanting to travel by car and explore the Bay Area. The Host was amazing, she communicated with me from the time I booked the property, and even after we checkout. I would definitely recommend this property and would like to come again.

feels like home
we loved how homey this place felt. Everything you could need is provided. Quality linens and towels. Easy parking. Quiet, safe, clean neighborhood. Beautiful views and a cozy atmosphere. Luckily it was pet friendly too. We always treat our stays with the upmost respect and cleanliness but sometimes hosts do not allow dogs. Our babies were able to enjoy the patio which is nice to have when wanting a little fresh air. Great stay
