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.

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.

The view was beautiful, the boat was neat. A nice adventure. Privacy was a little lacking and parking (overnight) was tricky and expensive.

Amazing Spot

Thank you for a wonderful weekend! Loved being right in town, but on the water. We enjoyed dinner on the back deck overlooking the harbor listening to live music from the nearby club. A very unique stay.

One of the best places I’ve ever stayed!

I highly recommend this property! Our stay was quiet and serene. The aquasuite was immaculate and beautiful. Lourdes was very communicative, friendly and helpful. We were literally steps from great restaurants and bars! I will definitely book this again!

Perfect Location

Had some initial issues, but Lourdes was quick to respond and solve the issues. It would help if someone could meet the renters upon arrival and walk through the particulars of the boat. Great location!!

Wonderful place to stay and rest

The place is wonderful to enjoy the peace and the sea, very well equipped. The negative points are that in summer it gets very hot and it is difficult to sleep without an A/C and in the early morning a lot of sunlight enters, so you might need masks to sleep well.

Relaxing and quiet

Unique experience to stay on a boat. Has everything you need like tiny house. Stairs down to bathroom may be tough for those with mobility issues. Neighborhood is nice with lots of dining options and easy access to SanFran. Overnight parking took some googling to figure out, but you can park about a block away. Also on site parking for max 3 hr, but worked well for us with other agenda items. Should also note easy drive to Muir woods National monument if that is on your list. Overall, great time and meet our expectations. Worth a try if staying in the area.

Very charming boat. Amazing view from the boat, not all of the boats have a view and this houseboat's view was great. Very quiet and relaxing on the houseboat.

So much potential… but sadly it doesn’t deliver.The size, shape, and location of the boat are great, but the furnishing makes it difficult to enjoy. The deck looks like a garage sale — overcrowded, four stools (who wants to sit on stools on a boat deck?), and not a single lounge chair. Inside, same story: crowded, unpratical layout.Privacy is also an issue. The paper umbrella covers only part of the front window, while neighbors on the two-deck boat next door have a direct view of the bed and living area.In the bathroom very unsanitary shag rugs beurk!, plus a moldy, smelly bath mat.Communication with Lourdes was disappointing. She seemed uninterested and sent two unhelpful videos. There’s no actual address number “9” on the boat as shown, and the toilet instructions were almost a joke. She left only the bare minimum of toilet paper — I ran out.On my first day, I returned from a 6-hour hike to find there was no running water on the boat. I messaged Lourdes at 6 pm, and she responded at 9 am the next day!?!As a visitor from outside the US, I needed wifi, but the password provided was wrong. Despite my explaining this, Lourdes kept insisting I was entering it incorrectly (during my stay I connected to countless wifi in Sausalito with no problem!) I had to rely on my home internet provider instead, incurring extra costs. When I asked for reimbursement, she refused and blamed me.This boat could be fantastic if managed properly, but with Lourdes, I cannot recommand.

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!

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.
