Magical!!!
Incredibly inviting in every way. Attention to even the tiniest details of needs for a relaxing stay. Janell was prompt and timely for any necessary communication. The place exudes spiritual connection and kindness. A communion to the rhythms of nature. An "A+ host"!! Stayed a month, not wanting to leave.

Amazing Stay on an Incredible Sausalito Houseboat
If this property is available, and it lines up with your travel dates, just book it! I’ve stayed at many places, and this was one of the most comfortable and clean places ever. The host is super-responsive and clearly cares for this “floating home.” Upon arrival, the boardwalk will greet you with potted succulents while the home is warm and unexpectedly spacious. One can feel the tidewater surroundings of this incredible location where birds fly overhead and herons wade. Plenty of supplies covered all of the essentials. Highly recommended!

Unique experience
We enjoyed our stay overall. The home is a little dated, but the primary bed was comfortable. We didn’t cook, so can’t speak to that. It was conveniently located for excursions to many places that we wanted to see. The neighbors were very friendly.

What a treat!
We rented this lovely float home for our 30th wedding anniversary and it was our first time to San Fran but we wanted the more laid back feel of Sausalito. This property and location didn’t disappoint and we had a wonderful time. Walking distance to a small cafe and mini market and we Ubered everywhere else. The float home was as advertised and our host was lovely and responsive. She even left a special treat on our first night. Highly recommend.
