About this property

Live and play the elegant way; privacy or community; you choose. Floating in deep water directly on the primary lagoon in San Francisco Bay's Historical and classic Sausalito, the is the only 3BD/3BA houseboat available. This is the stuff of songs, books, and movies. Our local arts and music community offers a special vibe. Just north of the Golden Gate Bridge (15 minutes to San Francisco), bicycle to Muir Woods and Beach, take the afternoon for a wine country visit. It's all here-living on the water on the RMS Sage. Your vacation haven is located just steps from the floating home used in the filming of a current TV series, and is included at the opening each week, and most of the outdoor shots. Magical.

Magical stay in a most beautiful houseboat

This must be one of the most gorgeous houseboats in Sausalito. Loved everything about the experience - great communication, wonderful location, beautiful space, lovely decor, everything needed for a home away from home. Not to mention the luminous rooms & sun decks, superb sunrise views, spectacular sunsets, AND moon & stars through the skylight over the master bed. Magic! Thank you such a wonderful month.

About the host

Hosted by Regina

Joe and I love the Sausalito Floating Home community for the natural beauty and the sense of friendly community. You can choose to enjoy the boats, boards, kayaks, and other toys or, quietly enjoy your holiday as a romantic getaway. The RMS Sage has "front seat" viewing of the the float - in free music concerts on our own lagoon. Or walk into town where there are plenty of art galleries, great upscale and basic restaurants, music spots, fresh bakeries, and a few choice dive bars.

Why they chose this property

Sausalito floating home community is a historical paradise and a particularly friendly environment amidst a peaceful and beautiful water neighborhood. The RMS Sage is a stunning, fully updated, and wonderfully located floating home located on the primary lagoon, in deep water. It is the only floating home with full three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Located adjacent to Jennifer Garner's floating home used as the set for "The Last Thing He Told Me," a stay on the RMS Sage is a very special floating wonderland.

What makes this property unique

Large and lovely houseboat in the historic Sausalito Floating Home community. "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," was written by Otis Redding about these docks.
Who else called Sausalito home?
Jerry Garcia, Julie Christie. Children's book author Shel Silverstein, novelists Gina Berriault, Isabel Allende and Amy Tan, Giants baseball players Tim Lincecum and Tommy La Stella, philosophers and environmentalists Alan Watts and Paul Hawken and sentimentalist Rod McKuen (Back to Sausalito)
Also, this is the only 3BD/ 3BA vacation rental available on the lagoon.
