Once in a lifetime experience! Such a great romantic getaway for my wife and I. Lots of stores and restaurants within walking distance. We were there for three days and we could have definitely stayed for the week. We will be going back in the future. Thanks for the amazing weekend

Such a unique and memorable experience! I found this houseboat to be very comfortable, well-equipped, and more spacious than it looked online. It is located on a friendly and quiet dock with convenient access to excellent cafés, restaurants, and stores. Parking was easy. There was no wifi on the boat so I used a hotspot from my phone. The host was communicative and helpful before, during, and after my stay.

We had a great time on the boat. My friend was 80 and did great with navigating the stairs and steps to the bathroom and off and on the boat itself. It was so relaxing and serene.

The view on the back of this boat was nice. We really enjoyed the location and proximity to downtown Sausalito. The host was slow to respond through the app and we did not receive videos to explain key details such as parking and door locks. The written directions were possibly outdated or just incorrect.

This is a dreamy, cozy boat in a very nice, old skool marina. The neighbors were all so friendly and the views of the marina and the hillside (with fog creeping over it or sun rays peaking through the clouds) made it magical. The only thing I’d change would be to have at least two cook plates. It was difficult to cook for three people with just the one. However, if you just want to eat out, there are many great options within walking distance and a great natural food store just a block away. Definitely a restorative stay.

I loved the boat but my friend had trouble getting in and out of the boat and couldn’t get into the bathtub. She has a bad knee. She went to a hotel instead. Point being if you have mobility problems this isn’t for you. But if you want a fun experience you’ll love the boat. I’m 76.

Lovely boat, very boho vibe to it. Comfortable bed. My biggest issue was the temperature. Granted, it was chilly in Sausalito (40-50), but the boat was very cold even with the heaters on.
