Located in the town of Kensington amid the Berkeley Hills, this home provides a great base for a family looking to explore California’s coast. It’s a lived-in family home and some of the rooms may appear a little messy, but it has plenty to keep you entertained. There are lots of books and games here for the kids and when it’s the right season, you can pick fruit and vegetables in the front garden. Kensington’s small centre has a few shops and café, but if you’re looking for more hustle and bustle you can catch the commuter bus to vibrant San Francisco.
