About this property

A Spacious Home with a Great View of San Francisco Bay and Mt Tamalpais

Enjoy a California sunset on the deck and watch its amber against Mount Tamalpais, or relax in the private front yard or barbecue in a quiet upscale neighborhood. Fully furnished spacious home. Ideal for a large family of up to six. Here are a few of its features and location:
A 3 BR 2 BA (2200 sq. ft./204 m sq.) home. Two rooms have queen bed and the third has California King bed. Close to BART (train to SF and Bay Area) (1 mi), Berkeley (8 mi), San Francisco (18 mi), and Napa (30 mi). Spacious, clean and family friendly. Close to great restaurants and family-friendly activities including free access to multiple tennis courts. My place is great for couples, and families (with kids). Close to Wild Cat Canyon Park (1mi) and Tilden Park (1 1/2 mi). Natural Grocery Store and Food Annex is just 3 miles away. A food super store (Safeway) is within a mile. This home has all the basic amenities you will need for cooking and wifi internet access. Plenty of hotel-standard linens and towels.

This is a beautiful, comfortable home with stunning sunset views. The large open layout provides multiple spaces for different people to hang out and the open areas are set off from the three bedrooms in a way that offers privacy. We have enjoyed this place so much we have stayed here twice. This time, my parents (who are in their 80s) joined us, and it worked out very well for them, too.

Thank you for taking the time to review Sunset View. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay. We did notice that your rating was four stars, which seems to be related to the checkout time. While our standard checkout is 10:00 am, we were happy to extend your stay until 12:00 pm to accommodate your request as best we could, while still allowing our cleaning team enough time to prepare the property for incoming guests. We truly value your feedback and hope to welcome you back to Sunset View in the future.

Family time

The views were great and we enjoyed this lovely home which accommodated all our needs. We were there for a family reunion and this home was located in between two family member's homes making it a great location betweem Albany and El Sobrante. We would definitely seek out this home again when visiting the bay area.

Amazing views from the hilltop gem!

Our family of five (adult kids) thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The listing was accurate with an open floor plan, clean home, and spaces to gather, inside and out. The neighborhood was quiet, complete with a local market within walking distance. We would highly recommend this property! Fassil was great to check in with. Thank you!

Perfect for us!

It was everything we needed and more. The courtyard and deck gave us options to enjoy the sunshine and incredible views and the spacious and comfy configuration allowed us to both catch up and find time and space for occasional calls that required time away from the group. The hosts were quick to answer questions and provide details we missed.

Fassil is an excellent host, he made my return to home visit so easygoing. I was able to enjoy the time with my siblings, so awesome. My best friend and I enjoyed the views every morning and evening. We didn’t want to leave. I hope to stay there again, if you will have us. Apologies for taking so long to leave a review. It was a stressful time for me, affected by the Government shutdown and all. Again thank you Fassil

Nice home with a beautiful view!

The home was perfect for our family of four with room to spare. Nice patio and deck to sit in the sun or read a book. It was the perfect central location for us to visit our son who lives in Berkeley. We were able to drive or take the BART to many sights in the area. We took a drive to Napa in less than an hour. Great week!
