This home is large and comfortable with all the amenities you could ask for. It's not just a house but a vacation experience. While it's a unique community, it also felt very easy and welcoming. I will be back.

Immaculate, Comfortable & Quiet

This is our second stay at this home. It was already great, but since then there have been several upgrades to make the space even more modern and comfortable. Somehow the owner managed to make the house unique but also feel like home. The floating home has more amenities than I'm even used to, and all questions I had were answered swiftly and professionally.

Magical stay in a most beautiful houseboat

This must be one of the most gorgeous houseboats in Sausalito. Loved everything about the experience - great communication, wonderful location, beautiful space, lovely decor, everything needed for a home away from home. Not to mention the luminous rooms & sun decks, superb sunrise views, spectacular sunsets, AND moon & stars through the skylight over the master bed. Magic! Thank you such a wonderful month.
