Amazing Houseboat in Sausalito
This is the third time that we have booked a houseboat in Sausalito. While all of our experiences have been positive, this boat was by far, the nicest, decorated with art from around the world, comfortable beds and living area and an amazing deck on top of the house overlooking the bay. The houseboat is walking distance from many businesses and restaurants and a walk or bike ride from downtown Sausalito. The owner was helpful, friendly and accommodating in every way. I can not say enough about the boat, the owner and the overall experience. Thank you Wilford!

The Perfect Retreat
Cosy, quirky and comfortable. Such an interesting home with all the many different artefacts and books around for you to enjoy. They reminded us so much of places we have lived in or travelled through, maybe that is why we felt so at home !
Thank you for sharing your home Wilford and also thank you to Gail and Kathy who were so helpful with restaurant suggestions and recommendations on where to visit.
We have had a wonderful stay and thank you for the wine !

Houseboat Heaven
An absolute magical vacation for our family of 6. The boys and girls all enjoyed the Kayaks, roof top, and the various quiet reading nooks throughout this very spacious houseboat. A fabulous location to venture off to Napa, the East Bay, and of course all the magnificent sites of San Fran. Loved meeting the owners and learning all about their favorite travel destinations as the HB is filled with treasures from near and far.

Magnificent & Magical
We stayed for 10 heavenly days and enjoyed every second. Wilford & Carole and their floating home haven is a true sanctuary. We kayaked every day and reveled in the hot tub, bedroom fireplace and all the art, and the VERY creatively inspiring environment. Luxury, adventure and the best of being "at home" while away.

A Perfect Trip!
There is nothing I can say about Wilford and Carole and their fabulous houseboat that hasn't already been said. My husband, myself and another couple had the pleasure of spending time here and every day was perfect. We did tons of sightseeing in San Francisco, as well as the Napa Valley Wine Train, which is a must, and everything was easy to get to. We all agreed that the best part of the trip was knowing that we would be returning each afternoon or evening to our exciting accommodations. It made us all smile! We plan on returning in the very near future. Thanks again Wilford and Carole "for the memories".

Happy guest!
We were planning a family vacation to San Francisco that involved needing accommodations for 2 couples and 2 teenagers. We wanted something comfortable and reasonably priced (very hard to find in the SF area). The houseboat certainly met and exceeded all of our needs! The owners, Wilford and Carole, were extremely nice to deal with. The house itself, was like living in a comfortable museum, due to the "souvenirs" of the owners extensive travels. The artwork, decorations, and furniture were pieces that could be studied all day long! Even the dishes were precious relics of another culture, yet there for our enjoyment and use. Honestly, San Francisco became an afterthought, since we enjoyed the house so much. Nobody had any interest in leaving it! Along with staying in a beautiful setting, there were great "toys" such as bikes and kayaks, which I regret not being able to use due to other plans, but hope to return and use someday. I am honored to have been trusted with the house & cannot find one negative thing to say. The roof balcony was awesome, the beds were comfortable and sleeping arrangements were quite private and cozy. After many nights in a hotel, this was everything it promised to be and more! Sausalito was a very nice city and easy commute to San Francisco or the wineries.

Best "Home Base" for Sightseeing in Northern California
First, the owners are accommodating to the point you feel like family - thank you Wilford and Carole for sharing your beautiful home with others! It is everything and more than what is portrayed in your description and photos!
Second, the home is gorgeous and although filled with treasures from across the world and a book collection to die for, it was comfortable and homey, down to the gas fireplace in the living room, which you WILL use in the mornings with your coffee. And we can't forget the oh so comfortable bed and linens to dream the night away after a long day of whatever! The inside of the home is filled with life in the form of live plants and flowers, including orchids and a banana tree (still not sure if this is real). The kitchen has all the amenities you need and a grocer/deli/restaurant within 2 minutes walking distance of the home to purchase supplies to cook the entire week if you don't enjoy eating out in the many local restaurants (we recommend Tommy Wok's and Sushi Ron). And last but certainly not least, there's the rooftop "lounge" and/or the "private" hot tub to enjoy after long days of hiking and sightseeing or just lounging. Kayaks and bikes available for use right at your front door, too, although we did not take advantage of these items - too busy on the CA1 locating new and exciting places to hike.
Third, you can travel CA1 everyday from here and hike to some of the most beautiful locations known to man. The farthest we drove was 47 miles and that took us to Pt. Reyes National Seashore and the lighthouse there. We highly recommend renting a convertible to visit this beautiful Northern California destination.
May your visit be as pleasant and wonderful as ours!

Our stay was delightful and the houseboat just
great. I'm racking my brain to think of some kind
of improvement, but nothing comes to mind. The
kitchen in particular was wonderful--everything we
needed was there and although we didn't cook
every night, when we did we knew we'd have the
utensils to do it right. -- July 2008

This is a delightful home...
This is a delightful home and I would strongly recommend it to anyone who wishes to stay in Southern Marin.
Pros: The house is filled with beautiful artifacts from various eastern cultures and is well stocked with books. The middle floor provides ample dining and living room space for a large family while the top and bottom floors house both bedrooms and quiet sitting rooms. It is not obvious from the text, but there is both a queen bed and a pull out sofa on the bottom floor. The hot tub off the master bedroom is AMAZING - private yet open to the sky it allowed my wife and I to take a relaxing dip in the tub every night. The freeway access can't be beat allowing for quick trips down into the city or up into northern Marin, Napa, and Sonoma.
There is a deli/grocery a short walk from the houseboat.
Cons: If your dream is to stay on a houseboat that feels like a boat or to be isolated from everyone, alone on the water this rental is not for you - this houseboat is simply a (beautiful) home moored alongside a dock.
Other: Parking is a little wonky - everything nearby is theoretically reserved for long term marina residents...but I parked near the boat for a week without problem. Also, the owner expects renters to be met by a friend of the owner upon arrival and departure. This was not a major issue since they were very accomodating, but it is different and may pose a problem for those with particularly early or late arrival/departure schedules.

What a delightful way to ...
What a delightful way to vacation. We traveled to SF from Florida to visit family and friends for a reunion in northern Marin. Having family in Marin and the City this was the perfect "Spot" for us.
The houseboat was everything we expected and much more. It was very spacious and comfortable for a grown family of five. When you think of a vacation rental usually what comes to mind is a sparcely furnished and supplied home. This is like going home, only to someone elses.
The views were fabulous, the location was very central to the Wine Country or San Francisco.
We would definitely return on a future trip to California. Absolutely top drawer. Excellent and a great value.
Thank You !!!

この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
We enjoy living 'on the docks' in Sausalito. We moved here from Belvedere, CA. because we found the houseboat community filled with interesting, creative people with casual, unpretentious, active, lifestyles. Being only 20 minutes by car to the middle of San Francisco for cultural, educational and social activities, and less than an hour from Napa and Sonoma and the beautiful wine country, are all big pluses. Hiking is five minutes away and great restaurants are nearby. We feel we have the best of many worlds right here. We call our houseboat "Shangri-La" for one feels they are living in a different and very special world.
この宿泊施設の特徴
Ours is a home that is ideal for a couple (or two) who appreciate the finer things in life and would like to relax and entertain in style in one of the most unique houseboats in the world.
