Why the Owner Chose Sausalito
We bought this as our home to live in forever but now we share her with others while we are travelling.
The Unique Benefits at this Floating Home
The views are magical, they change hourly as the tide comes in and out and as the fog rolls in and out. The decks offer ample outdoor space to enjoy the sun and the boats. Each bedroom has it's own level which offers the ultimate in privacy when the houseboat is full.The bathrooms are spacious and cheerful and the location is just perfect.
