About this property

Cozy quiet & relaxing hide-a-way in the heart of Sausalito's ‘Hurricane Gulch.’

Nestled amidst the lush gardens of the property’s quaint & quiet private courtyard, you’ll find your cozy cottage perched just a few** steps above the (proverbial) ‘Dock on the Bay’. With views overlooking the bay and back dropped by the eponymous SF skyline, you’ll be hard-pressed to determine whether or not to perch-out under the serene Sausalito sun while watching the tide roll-away, or, lounge the day away with a good book and cool breeze to keep you company. Godspeed! **Disclaimer: a “few steps” may in fact be more than just a few.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights with our 1 year old Jack. The place was absolutely spectacular, with breathtaking views of the bay and SF from all the windows of the house. It's super walkable to town, and we really enjoyed all the nautical decor. Charles and his family were very accommodating and even carried our pack n play up the steps for us. Would definitely stay here again.

We loved Charlie’s little guest house. So quaint and well cared for with great views and walking access to downtown Sausalito. Loved the little porch out front and watching the swirling summer fog in SF. Charlie is very friendly and easy to reach by phone. Make sure you pack light and can walk up a lot of uneven stairs.

I booked this property because my mom has cancer and needed radiation in San Francisco.When I explained that there was no way she could climb the stairs, no offer of a refund, even partial was made. The description did not give warning.

Facts: Host identified a "few steps" in description of property, upon booking host states 50 steps- fact more than 80 steps with rope as handrail. Parking host implies "unlikely a problem", City parking signs identify 2 HOUR parking 7:00 AM-6;30 PM. Fact: car must be moved every two hours. Public parking lot cost 18.00/hour. It required 1 hour to locate initial parking to check in. Host identified available to be reached, check in time, 4:00 PM, host was called however host did not respond until 9:30 PM . Host was argumentative, very unprofessional and unpleasant.

My Favorite New Sausalito Getaway

This beautiful bungalow is an absolute gem! It's perfect for a romantic getaway, solo writing escape, or a long weekend in a beautiful California town. We loved absolutely everything about this place, and the host was so friendly, helpful, and a very cool dude. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Cozy Getaway

Small cozy quiet property located just off the water overlooking the bay. Clear view of the bay bridge. Heater works wonderfully for the chilly Bay Area breeze and the little wood burning fireplace works wonders when the fog rolls in. Owner of the property even helped us bring our bags all the way up. Very friendly, would recommend!

Beautiful Stayover

We had to fill a gap before our flight for two nights and this was a lovely spot. beautiful view from the deck, lovely patio, privacy and close to the market and coffee bar. And on the quiet end of the waterfront in Sausalito. Just fit two adults upstairs and one teen on the downstairs pull out. There are lots of stairs up, which was not a problem for us. Charming.

Do not ever stay at this property unless a helicopter lowers you to the front door from the sky. Even if you don’t need to park a car and drag your luggage from god-knows-where you will still have to contend with 90 steep, dangerous, slippery steps to ascend and descend from this place. Bring groceries, don’t bother because the kitchen is hardly equipped. Toilet paper? BYO. I could go on but believe me, this place SUCKS!

It’s a great place to stay, but need to fix the wifi

Th space and the location is great. My biggest issue was no WiFi connection in the space. I couldn’t do any work at all. Reaching out was a struggle, Charlie did eventually respond and offered me to use the WiFi in his apt. Unfortunately, I can’t bring everything back and forth in the dark. I want to love my stay but it was just to sleep. It was tough.

Comfortable cottage above the beaten path

Don't let the 86 stairs and parking challenge keep you away from this quaint cottage on the hill above the bay! Beautiful million dollar views of both the bay and Sausalito skyline from your private deck where you can enjoy morning coffee as the sun rises over the bay. A short walk away is Golden Gate Market, a convenient neighborhood market with friendly helpful staff and surprisingly well stocked with groceries and delicious prepared food packaged for take-a-way meals. The Italian restaurant Aurora is also within walking distance - fabulous food, friendly service and away from the crowds. I loved the location of this property as I felt more like a Sausalito local and less of a tourist but if it's the tourist's experience you desire it's just a scenic walk away down Bridgeway along the bay. Best of both worlds.

Charming hideaway in a fantastic location. Walk to everything in Sausalito. Wonderful views. However, there are some caveats. The cottage is accessed by a series of 60 irregular steps. Do not book this if you have any kind of mobility issues. Same concern with the bedroom stairs - steep with incomplete railing. Also bedroom and stair ceilings are very low so not great if you're 5'9" or taller. Kitchen was a little disappointing. Microwave had dried-on food. No dish soap or cutting board. In spite of these challenges, the cottage is a fun stay for an adventurous couple.
