The boat was fantastic and relaxing. It was surprising how big and well appointed it felt. Looking out at the water was perfect. The host gave us very clear video directions to find it, which were so helpful.

Lovely boat, very boho vibe to it. Comfortable bed. My biggest issue was the temperature. Granted, it was chilly in Sausalito (40-50), but the boat was very cold even with the heaters on.

The house was perfectly setup as the description stated. Very charming! The parking posed to be a bit of a problem. The neighbors in slip 8 didn’t get the memo about the quiet hours from 9p-9a because they were up well after 3am making lots of noise and turning lights on and off. Overall, we had a great stay!

Weekend on the water

Great place to celebrate our anniversary. Walking distance to great restaurants, right on a wonderful bike trail, sunsets over Mt Tam, great low-key neighbors, and a great nights sleep in a comfortable bed.Hope we’ll be back soon.

Great view

We are in our 80s so getting suitcases, etc down the long dock and into the boat was a challenge. Once on the boat we loved the view and seals, pelicans, terns, etc. Had a great time.

We had a magical stay in our floating love nest on the Bay. Our friends were staying at the inn above the tides and we were so happy to find this spot nearby to stay. It’s a proper boat but has all the amenities of a house. I especially loved the bathtub. We enjoyed having our coffee on the deck outside while watching the seals and aquatic birds.

Just what I needed to reintegrate after a week of device-free personal growth. I can tell the description has been updated to reflect concerns from previous reviews, so I felt like I was well-informed of what to expect. Several seal sightings from the back deck were an added bonus!
