Waterfront Boutique Bungalow 1-Walk to Ferry to San Francisco, Free WIFI Parking
Summary: This vintage bungalow is located in St. Vincent Historic District, within walking distance to waterfront restaurants, amenities and a world class ferry service to San Francisco and a short drive to the world renowned Wine Country. Renovated by award-winning architects, this original tiny house is your home away from home, while enjoying affordable 5-star premium boutique experience! The owners are, mom-and-pop, all time Superhosts with over 650 nearly 5 star reviews. Be My Guest!
The Space: The historic Bungalow, the original tiny house of 700 square feet area of space is ample for up to 4 guests. Again, fully renovated for modern convenience but keeping all historic charm intact. The bungalow has one-bedroom, walk-in closet, one bath (Jack and Jill) with a claw foot tub, large eat in kitchen, laundry/pantry room and a cozy comfortable living room. A private outdoor area with seating is available for your use. There is other outdoor seating for larger groups. Stylish furnishings and a fully equipped kitchen await to show off your culinary talent. The porch, deck or front steps of the property is a wonderful place for you to hang out and watch the sunset over the Napa River, it is quite stunning.
There are dedicated AC window units in both the living room and the bedroom. The Bungalows have heating and cooling, unlike some Victorians.
Boutique Bungalows have over 650 nearly 5-star reviews! Our reviews speak for itself, but I can attest, our Boutique Bungalows are at a top-tier accommodation for any short-term rentals and hotels available in the area and the region. For its premium offer at affordable budget, value is stupendous!
Here are what guests are saying: “immaculate, stylish, cozy, kitchen with all imaginable tools, most comfortable and cozy bed, all with exceptional hospitality of host who responds quickly.” For all that, Bungalows are an affordable option to costly Wine country accommodations. 99% of guests rate the value five stars. Many are also surprised by how close the wineries are, and as I have highlighted, guests agree that it is a “great jumping-off point” to what the Bay Area offers.
Waterfront Weather: The microclimate of the bungalows is an enjoyable place to stay. It is +/-15 degrees cooler with its waterfront breeze in summer thanks to the proximity to the Bay. In winter, it also has a moderating effect on the chill factor.
One guest exclaimed, “this was the most relaxing vacation I had in 25 years,” sitting under a shade looking at the Napa River right from the property (BB3).
Bungalow Two has a private dedicated car park right next to the unit.
Guest Access: Each Guest/group have access to their entire freestanding bungalow, affording complete privacy. Unlike 90% of STR in the area, our Bungalows are fully detached, charming houses with each having its own private yards and views to the Napa River from the Property grounds.
Contactless Checkin-Checkout: The entry door is equipped with a private access code for Your use only. You can check in and check out at your own pace anytime. Please ring a bell if you forget your code or have any issues, and we can help.
The Neighborhood: The historic St. Vincent district is peppered with beautiful historic Victorians, including one famous Julia Morgan building. The Boutique Bungalows were part of the worker housing for the Mare Island Shipyard. It is vintage and charming to boot. All Bungalows were renovated for modern convenience but keeping its character in tact. Live in history and try out these original tiny houses! A quick walk down to the Ferry Terminal with service to San Francisco and the SF Giants Ballpark, numerous waterfront restaurants & bars, walkways, and nature trails. Walking distance is Mare Island with its outdoor Breweries, wine tasting rooms, and historical shipyard and officers mansions worth taking a tour. The ferry ride across the Bay is an absolute treat in itself. Leave your car and hop on a Ferry; for couples, it is a much better way to visit San Francisco. Vallejo is famous for its waterfront festivals(Pirates, Vintage Car Shows ++), Sear Point Raceway, Six Flags Amusement Park, and a gateway to this beautiful Bay Area. Treat Bungalows as your jumping-off point to Marin, East Bay, San Francisco, and VA hospitals in Fairfield. Only a short ride to the world-famous wineries and San Pablo Bay Wildlife Sanctuary for fantastic bird watching. And for trivia, Vallejo was the original capital of California!
Getting Around: Centrally located, Vallejo is an excellent hub for your Bay Area attractions with easy access to Sonoma/Napa wineries, North and East Bays, and San Francisco. You have quick access to major highways via HWY 37, Interstate 80, Interstate 780, and direct ferry services. I would recommend renting a car for families and people who wait 5 minutes for the nearest parking spot kind of person.
Bungalows are accessible via automobile, ferry, Bart, Bus, and Uber/Lyft.
Note: Even though Bungalows are located walkable distance to major transit options, I recommend having a car for grocery shopping and other site seeing in those days you need to rent cars.
Other Things to Note: FREE Parking: There is plenty of unrestricted street parking immediately in front of Bungalows. There are no parking rules: unlike any other cities in the Bay Area.
FREE WIFI: Fast Xfinity/Comcast Wi-Fi for guests: 225 MPS speed.
Sofa Bed: Please inform us of any two-guest reservation that requires sofa bedding. Sofa bedding comes automatically for three + guests. For two guests not using the main bed together, please inform us.
Sofa Mattress: 4" thick memory foam bed for comfort.
Pack and Play: If you need the pack and play, for children under 36" tall, please inform us no later than 72 hours (about 3 days) before check-in. Booking time is the best for asking for the pack and play. If you forget, I must charge $25 for the setup fee.
Bedding/Linens: I am a linen snob. Nothing in our Bungalows is polyester or microfiber. All 100% cotton single ply long staple yarns for bed sheets and 100% cotton turkish towels only.
Cleanliness is Godliness: Cleanliness is the top priority of other premium features we provide. IE luxurious bathrobes. Our cleaning fees reflect living wages for our hard-working cleaners creating jobs for locals.
Contact less Checkin and Checkout: So easy! The door code is your last four digit of your phone number activates at agreed checkin time and deactivates 11:30 AM checkout date.
Checkout Instructions: We do not ask guests to conduct laundry list of chores before they leave! We are easing COVID rules, and all guests must do is put away dirty dishes or soak dirty pans. This is if you used them at all. This is to aid cleaners for a quick turnaround so other guests can check-in earlier if necessary.
Bungalows: Bungalow one is styled mid-century modern, Bungalow two is French Cottage, and Bungalow three is French Provence. They are separate freestanding little houses on one large lot with ample outdoor space in between. Located on the hill overlooking the Bay, it provides relaxing views, but you need to climb stairs.
Quiet and Peace: Many guests cannot believe how peaceful and quiet our neighborhood is. So close to the Marina but far away enough for any traffic noise or commercial traffic.
Interaction with Guests: I am available for any questions as they arise. There is also a guest information manual in the home, listing attractions in the area. I live near by where I can be available for any emergencies. Please call the number listed on the Airbnb.

The bungalow was a lovely and peaceful place to stay. The space was quiet, safe, and very comfortable.The setting is especially beautiful. I loved listening to the prolific birdsong in the morning, and at night the angel’s trumpet growing outside gave off the most wonderful fragrance. It made the whole place feel incredibly serene.A great place if you’re looking for somewhere calm and restorative.

This was a great place for us for a planned wine country trip. The weather turned too hot but we were a short drive to beaches and cooler weather near San Francisco which was very convenient. The home is equipped with everything you need and a quaint cool place to stay. Would stay again!

We had such a great time at this property!! The hosts were great and responsive. They thought of every little detail to make sure guests have everything they need. The bungalow is fantastic!! Walking distance to the ferry for San Francisco is such a great location.10 out of 10, would recommend!!
Pleasant stay! Had the additional perk of a private spot for parking off the street. Bed is comfortable and all the amenities I could ask for were available.

Thank you for your patronage and thank you for your cooperation to move to Bungalow Two as we had a double booking. And yes, the Bungalow Two offers a private parking which is an added bonus! I’m happy your experience was positive!
Hi Roger I am sorry that the bed was uncomfortable for you. This is the first time I had a complaint about this in the entire time I have been in this business. Was there something wrong with the bed? I did not hear anything from you during your stay and cleaners did not say anything specifically about the bed.
I am puzzled because I pride in everyone loving about the bed and sheets etc. etc. Please do notify me if something is wrong so we can fix it while you are staying with us.
Thank you for choosing our Boutique Bungalows.
This is the review from the guest who stayed just before your stay:
Rachel (from the other mammoth STR platform)
"I don’t have enough good things to say about this lovely cottage. It was clean and well stocked. We had everything we needed for a few days of touring Napa. I would highly recommend!"
“We absolutely loved our stay! Thank you for having us!”
My family had my Mom’s 80th birthday party in Vallejo, we’re from here, but haven’t been here in years. Staying here made coming back home a pleasure. Thank you for making my stay so very comfortable.

Perfect....loved it!!
We had a wonderful stay! The house is truly awesome! It is so clean, comfortable, homey, quiet, and provides everything u need!!! I cant say enough about how great our stay was. Our hosts left us a bottle of wine in the fridge, which was perfect to end our first day in Cali. The bed was great, the convenience of the location of the house was perfect! We will definitely stay here again!! Loved, loved, loved it!! We were actually sad to go!

The bungalow worked perfectly for our family. It was spotless, well equipped, and perfectly situated for our day trips around the Bay Area. We really wanted to take the ferry to a Giants baseball game but we couldn't fit it into our schedule. Next time.

Thank you Boyd for taking the time to review us and sharing your experience! I am glad you enjoyed your stay.
This was a really nice, cute, and cozy bungalow. My girlfriend and I were looking for an affordable place to stay near Napa, and this cottage in Vallejo worked out perfectly. It was an easy 30-min drive to the Oxbow Market in Downtown Napa. We also had amazing pizza at Napoli Pizza in Vallejo (a small but delicious pizza spot just a few blocks from the bungalow). The space in the cottage was relaxing, the bed was comfortable, and the use of the TV (with Netflix & Hulu access) was great! Highly recommend!

Property was absolutely spotless. The kitchen was well stocked with the essentials when we arrived which was very much appreciated after a long trip. My daughter and I were attending an event on Mare Island. Location couldn't have been better. Could see the island from the front porch. Ferry terminal was a few minutes away by car so make getting into SF super easy. Host was very responsive. Would highly recommend the property.
