About the host

Hosted by Regina

Host profile image
Joe and I love the Sausalito Floating Home community for the natural beauty and the sense of friendly community. You can choose to enjoy the boats, boards, kayaks, and other toys or, quietly enjoy your holiday as a romantic getaway. The RMS Sage has "front seat" viewing of the the float - in free music concerts on our own lagoon. Or walk into town where there are plenty of art galleries, great upscale and basic restaurants, music spots, fresh bakeries, and a few choice dive bars.

Why they chose this property

Sausalito floating home community is a historical paradise and a particularly friendly environment amidst a peaceful and beautiful water neighborhood. The RMS Sage is a stunning, fully updated, and wonderfully located floating home located on the primary lagoon, in deep water. It is the only floating home with full three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Located adjacent to Jennifer Garner's floating home used as the set for "The Last Thing He Told Me," a stay on the RMS Sage is a very special floating wonderland.

What makes this property unique

Large and lovely houseboat in the historic Sausalito Floating Home community. "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," was written by Otis Redding about these docks.
Who else called Sausalito home?
Jerry Garcia, Julie Christie. Children's book author Shel Silverstein, novelists Gina Berriault, Isabel Allende and Amy Tan, Giants baseball players Tim Lincecum and Tommy La Stella, philosophers and environmentalists Alan Watts and Paul Hawken and sentimentalist Rod McKuen (Back to Sausalito)
Also, this is the only 3BD/ 3BA vacation rental available on the lagoon.
