Bring Your Boat 24 Foot Private Dock

The house was stellar! We have decided that this is the standard for comfort. However many days you are planning... add 2 cause you will not want to leave! I am looking forward to another visit soon!

We stayed over the Labor Day weekend and everything was great! Gina's home is beautiful and spacious. The kids enjoyed the unique spiral staircase that leads up to a large room overlooking the river. The backyard connects straight to the river and is perfect for those who enjoy fishing. Had a few bites, 6 fish in total (catch and release). Wish we could've stayed a day longer as we didn't want to leave! Thank you for sharing your home with us Gina and we hope to be back soon!

Great location, easy to get to from the Bay Area. We wanted to have a warm get away for the weekend. We got that and many other boxes checked. Relaxing view, wonderful oak tree for shade, huge rooms!

Property had great views and off the beaten path. Very clean. There are some normal maintenance issues that I’m sure Gina will address. Overall a great place!

Great getaway for the family. We recently stayed at Gina's property and really enjoyed ourselves. The house was really clean and we were able to accommodate our family of 4 and my parents. Parking can be limited, as it was for us with a truck, trailer, and SUV so our day guests had to park down at Vieira's ($8 a day). Wasn't bad though cause we just picked them up on Vieira's dock with our boat. I think everyone enjoyed sitting in the massage chair at the house, great bonus. The communication with Gina was awesome. We had a issue with the septic system backing up while we were there. I called Gina around 10pm and she answered and sent someone out to fix it that night. Gina was very nice and accommodating. A giant plus for us too, is that the property is dog friendly so we got to bring our golden retriever with us. One surprise for people planning on BBQing, the property only has a charcoal grill. There were no charcoals left in the bag, so we had to make a quick trip Rio Vista to get some coals. Haven't used a charcoal grill in a long time and was amazed how flavorful our meals turned out. Another surprise is the stove top is a touch top (no knobs). It took us about 10 minutes to figure it out. Highway 160 is directly across the river from the property and we were amazed on how many vehicles travel along that levee highway. Can be a bit noisy at times.

Just some FYI's for future renters with boats:

There is not a launch ramp on the island. You must pay a fee to launch over at Vieira's across the river which is $15 a day. We only paid once to launch because we would leave our boat tied up at Gina's dock each night. Vieira's is about a 10 minute drive from the property. Gina's property was able to accommodate our large quad cab truck and trailer (which is about 28' long). However, it was extremely tight trying to maneuver the truck and trailer across the one lane bridge that's in front of the property and to fit underneath the awning next to the house. We ended up unhitching the trailer and rolling by hand into the parking spot.

Obviously, the property is along the Sacramento River and it does get a bit of boat and pwc traffic on the water. There are 5mph buoys anchored about 200 ft from the dock but you still get bounced along Gina's dock. It can also get windy at the property which can play a little havoc on the boat.
