About this property

Secluded, Romantic, Private, on the Water

This romantic cottage located on historic 'Ark Row', has a quiet, peaceful setting with a lovely view across the bay. The cottage itself is located in town on its own private dock over the water. It is not 'near' the water, nor does it simply have a 'view of' the water. Drop a pebble a the dock and is splashes into the water. Read or write, dine or observe a parade of maritime life: sailboats, diving Pelicans, and curious seals. Though ten minutes to the Golden Gate Bridge and 15 minutes to downtown San Francisco, you will be in your own secluded world.

Throughout Marin County there are fabulous biking and hiking trails with kayak and boat rentals available in Sausalito. The mini environment of maritime Sausaiito has long been recognized as the most temperate weather in the Bay Area - cool in summer and characteristically fog free most of the year.

Available for long or short term rental, historic waterfront ' ARK' (House on a dock.)

Tiny place with gorgeous views of the wildlife, in the center of the action.
Holiday trip to a new place. Great seafood dinners, in walkable area. Views over the bay to SF are great from the brewery. Enjoyed watching the birds, harbor seals and gulls. When the tide comes it water splashes under your feet, very nautical experience without setting sail.

LOVED
If you’re debating whether or not to book this charming guest house, do it. Do it yesterday. There is a separate gate that leads to the back porch of the house where you’ll find the cutest guest house. The place is a decent size for two people. Everything was clean and found just as described in the listing. The kitchen is minimal but there’s enough for you to get by. The fridge space is small and does not include a freezer. No spices. When I arrived the weather was pretty hot. Inside the house was warm as well even with the fans on. Once I opened the doors a windows to allow more airflow it cooled down and I was able to sleep comfortably. The next morning the home owner was kind enough to check on me to make sure I was comfortable and asked if there was anything she could do. Most of the trip I either spent on the porch or exploring the near by trails and when I returned the house was always a comfortable temperature. This cottage in is prime location! Just outside the busyness of sf. Point Bonita is only 20min away and so worth it!! But you could honestly spend all your time at this cottage or enjoying Sausalito’s cute shops/restaurants and enjoying the beautiful bay views. I could go on forever about this place! I was so sad to leave. I will definitely be back!

Perfect spot
This place was perfect for me. Within walking distance to everything including my son’s place. The view of the bay off the deck was great and even saw some seals! The owner lives next door and was lovely to talk to .

About the host

Hosted by Marion Slater

Host profile image
I have owned the cottage for more than 40 years, it was originally a boat house owned by a captain of a fishing boat. I had always admired the property for its location on the water, when it was offered for sale I was happy to buy it, have been glad I did.

Why they chose this property

Once you see the cottage you will see what a lot it has to offer in its location, close to everything people come to Sausalito for, the lovely view, access to San Francisco and the wine country.

What makes this property unique

For guests interested in kayaking or boating in general, there could not be a better place than the San Francisco Bay. Here in Sausalito every possible type of sailing, sailboarding, boating is available. Some of the best restaurants, coffee shops and cafes nearby.
