Perfect Spot for our Adult Sibs
We stayed at this house for our daughter's wedding at the Berkeley Country Club. It's only 2.5 miles away from the venue, has very comfortable bedrooms & bathrooms, and most importantly has a remarkable view from Sausalito to Oakland including San Francisco and both the Bay and Golden Gate bridges. Our siblings from Chico especially loved the view & dramatic fog that rolled in and out. The kitchen is nicely appointed also!

The views are as advertised - spectacular. Comfortable and clean. Wonderful living room area for watching all aspects of the Bay Area weather rolling through. The driveway is pretty steep, but everything else was perfect.

Stunning Bay-View Vacation Rental in Kensington!
We were there to move our daughter in at UC Berkeley. The place was fantastic. The views were great and the house was very clean. We will definitely consider staying here again when we return.

Can’t beat the view!
We were there for a friend’s birthday party in the neighborhood so the home was super convenient for us. The house was comfortable but we really only slept there. The bed pillows could use replacing but, otherwise, it had all we needed. Thank you!

Stunning Bay View
We thoroughly enjoyed our 5 day stay. The view is stunning and the living and dining room areas are spacious. The kitchen is updated with new appliances and was clean and functional. We rested well in the bedrooms and the baths were supplied with toiletries. Our host communicated with us from the moment we booked and kept in touch before and during our stay. This VRBO will definitely be one we will stay at again.
