Why the Owner Chose Sausalito
Sausalito is one of the most beautiful and romantic locations anywhere in the world. A houseboat is the quintessential location in Sausalito. To be on the water, with the constantly changing tides and wildlife, yet be so close to restaurants, entertainment, shopping and conveniences is ideal. Just minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco to the south and the wine country and redwoods to the north - plus the beaches at Stinson.
The Unique Benefits at this Houseboat
Having a private dock with a motorboat and kayaks is great fun. From the houseboat you can go out into the Bay, see Sausalito from the water, Belvedere, Tiburon and San Francisco. Dock at local restaurants and have lunch or dinner. In addition to the dock, we have tried to provide every entertainment system and appliances, etc that are available - two large plasma TV's HD, digital cable with all the premium channels, Wii games, etc. etc.

I just wanted to thank you again for letting us stay at your houseboat this weekend. We enjoyed the champagne and basket of fruit. Our wedding was beautiful, especially with all the activity from Fleet Week happening. We took some pictures on the wooden pier with all the beautiful flowers. All of your neighbors walking by were very nice and congratulated us. We didn't have any problems with the parking at the marina...no one was towed or ticketed. Thank you again for accommodating us with the early check in and late checkout. Everything was perfect. Best Regards, Lance Hershman

It is a great location and made me want to move there forever. As just one couple, the price is a bit high for a weekend but great nonetheless. Also, there is quite a bit of privacy on this dock as compared to others. Everything is first-rate from the bed to the television and stereo system. Susan, the owner was very generous – thank you for the delicious fruit and wine. It was the perfect way to kick-off a weekend. We’ll be back soon! A. Smith
