Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Berkeley

Beautiful home right in the middle of the dipsea trail stairs - go up the stairs to reach great hiking trails, down the stairs for great restaurants and shopping. Comfortable beds, clean and cozy home, responsive and friendly hosts. Be aware of the somewhat challenging parking - bring the small car. Absolutely worth it, we’d love to come back!

We stayed in the upstairs unit which was bright & comfortably furnished. There is a cute outdoor space behind the house which is shared by guests in both units.

Awesome space in a very versatile area. Wish I could have stayed longer because it was a great base for all the things I was looking to do in the area. Will stay again.

Our family absolutely loved this home. The beds were comfy and gave us rest after busy days in the Bay. The host was responsive. Check-in instructions were easy. The neighborhood was quiet and we felt safe. We would love to stay here again during future Bay visits.

Mel’s place was wonderful! Mel communicated with us prior to our arrival to make sure we had everything we needed and provided recommendations for local restaurants. She made sure to put the lights on for us because we were coming in late in the evening. The place was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. The beds were very comfortable and we slept great. Would highly recommend Mel’s place!

Naomi's place was great! They were very responsive and the space was beautiful and fit all 6 of us nicely.

We stayed at Tracy’s for 3 nights around our daughter’s graduation for our family of 4. We loved our stay and would definitely choose to stay here again. The living space was open and filled with light, the beds were comfortable, and the outdoor deck space was private and peaceful. We enjoyed walking to the Berkeley Rose Garden to watch the sunset each night. We highly recommend this home.

Amazing place to stay with our two dogs. Felt right at home.

Our stay at Lori and Mike’s place was absolutely fantastic, and Lori truly made it unforgettable. While Mike was away on a trip, Lori went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed—and more. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel so welcome. She was warm, thoughtful, and incredibly attentive without ever being overbearing. It’s clear she genuinely cares about her guests and takes pride in creating a comfortable, personalized experience. She checked in with us just enough to make sure we were all set and shared amazing local tips that really made our trip extra special. Her kindness, attention to detail, and friendly energy made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better host. Thank you so much, Lori—you’re truly one of a kind!

We had an amazing stay at Casita Casita, the kids had so much fun in the pool and the kitchen was beautiful. On the last day, my six year old didn’t want to leave, she said she wished we could live there forever. It was super clean and when I did have a question, Courtney replied almost immediately. She was super great to work with, she sent us the house guide before our arrival and it included food recommendations. There was also a book printed guide which we actually referenced a lot! So that was helpful. The location is EXTREMELY walkable, we had fun walking to local shops and restaurants and the local park and bocci ball court.

We booked this place for a family staycation to spend a long weekend doing nothing but relaxing. This place exactly fit the bill. The hot tub was amazing, the pool was lovely and clean. Our little daughter thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub. The place was clean and well appointed with amenities. Best of all, when we realized we might end up arriving earlier then check in time, Alex promptly set us up to arrive a while hour and a half before time!

Our family had the most incredible weekend at Gina's beautiful home! First of all, a HEATED POOL makes all the difference, huge plus! We loved spending time in the backyard with so many beautiful outdoor areas to hangout with family, including your own private dock with a kayak! We were a little bummed the outdoor firepit wasn't working because we loved being outside so much but maybe next time. We hope to come back soon! We loved the big wooden table and big cozy couch for all 8 of us to enjoy time eating meals and playing games together! It was super convenient to have the grocery store just 6 minutes down the road as well. She was also extremely accommodating which made the stay even better!

Had an excellent stay with our family. Will is one of the best airbnb hosts we have ever had and would stay again at this home or any other home he hosts without hesitation. The cactus home is luxurious and has amazing amenities like heated bathroom floors, great outdoor space with pool and hot tub, and a well equipped kitchen.

We stayed at this place for nine days and had a fantastic experience. It was clean and plenty of space in the house. By car it's easy to experience the whole Bay area from this place.

Gorgeous setting, spacious, well appointed. Great space with views of redwoods throughout. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. They really thought of everything when setting up this place. The trails across the street are phenomenal, as are the neighborhood views. The village is a 5 min drive and one of my favorite little east bay pockets. We hope to return!

Melodie truly goes above and beyond to ensure customer satisfaction. She thought of things like Contact Lens Solution! This was the first time i’ve ever seen that in a care kit. I also can’t speak more to kindness as when she allowed me to stay an extra hour because I was having a hard time parting ways with this new found peace and comfort. Then I added a second hour and simply felt like extended family at that point. The heated saltwater pool under the blue sky surrounded by chirping birds and nature was extremely soothing to my spirit. I shall return.

I really enjoyed my stay at Reuven's place. Reuven was a welcoming host with prompt responses . He checked in regularly during my stay to make sure I had everything I needed. I met Reuven a few times in person and he was always warm and friendly. The cottage itself was very comfortable and clean and had high quality amenities. It's located in a nice neighborhood and you can walk to pretty much everything including UCB. The off-street parking spot and brand new washer/dryer were especially helpful. I highly recommend the cottage to anyone visiting the East Bay and I would love to stay here again when I visit my daughter next time!

Great place, had water in the fridge for us, well stocked with amenities.. Thank you Puck!!!!

This cottage is a little gem in a desirable part of the city. The upstairs sleeping loft is spacious and well laid out with plenty of closet and drawer space. We loved the thoughtful touches like high-quality coffee, a bottle of wine, extra sheets and towels, and attractive decor and books. Host Johnny was very responsive to our questions about the heating unit and fixed it right away. Not a problem for the physically agile, but guests should be aware that the outdoor side entrance is maybe 24 inches wide, and that the steep loft stairs are necessary to navigate to use the bathroom. Overall, a wonderful stay with a kind and thoughtful host!

Lovely bungalow with an exceptional backyard space. Very comfortable beds, and fully stocked kitchen made for a great home away from home stay.

This cute little cottage was such a pleasure to stay in. Amir was super responsive and did a great job finessing the details of the place to ensure comfort, coziness, and convenience. And everything was sparkling clean! You can tell he put a lot of thought in to making the place feel perfect. Absolutely loved it, would highly recommend a stay here. Trust the reviews :)

Great location in a quiet lovely residential neighborhood, but just a block from a large variety of shops and restaurants. This was our second stay because of proximity to friends in Rockridge.

absolutely loved the stay. so relaxing and fun. always wanted to do it

This is the second time I've stayed here and will be returning for more time as I look for a house in Oakland/Berkeley. The location near the Claremont and neighborhood is one of my favorites and Malcolm's place is so convenient to Rick and Ann's, Fournee Bakery, Peet's and the neighborhood for walking and exploring. It also has great access to the Oakland hills and throught the back way to Orinda and Lafayette. A perfect location.
