My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Harrison house very much. We know the area well and chose Sausalito for the proximity to family and area attractions. Harrison House was perfect with everything we needed……a well appointed kitchen, comfortable beds, easy parking. Communicating with Teresa was excellent and she even left a welcome basket with goodies. We would definitely choose Harrison House again.KC and Ann Slichter

Perfect location for a Sausalito stay. Very close to restaurants and ferry. Quiet upscale neighborhood, very safe. Beautiful view out the windows of Richardson bay and surrounding communities. Kitchen is very well equipped, everything in working order, beds comfortable, linens luxurious. Our hostess did an outstanding job communicating with us and checked several times to see if we needed anything. I would consider this condo a real find and excellent value.

The kitchen is well stocked with glasses, dishes and cutlery. We really appreciated the great communication with Teresa who checked in with us to make sure everything was in order.

Wow

We loved our stay at Harrison House! Teresa was an excellent, attentive, and gracious host. The place was quiet, clean, and surrounded by beautiful views--everything we were looking for! Relaxing and refreshing. We could easily walk to downtown Sausalito for food, drinks, strolling, and shopping. We were also close enough to San Francisco that we did not have to deal with the noise and hustle of a big city. Harrison House is superb on every level.

This property was just perfect for my husband and I. It was centrally located in Sausalito. If you don’t mind climbing some stairs and a few hills, it’s right in the center of town. We had a wonderful week exploring the wonders of Marin. Teresa answered all of our questions and provided wonderful goodies for our stay. The apartment has a full kitchen with anything you might need. The bed was comfortable as was the well equipped bathroom. If you’re considering this property, don’t be intimidated by the parking. In addition to the driveway, you can also just park on the street. We would happily stay at this property again.

Great home base for touring

We had a great 10-day stay and Teresa is a warm host with great communication. The apartment is very clean and has an open feel to it. Great view from the livingroom, including the bay and a young coastal redwood. The kitchen is well equipped and has easy workspace for cooking. The beds are comfortable. The soaking tub is a bonus. Our favorite walking route to the boardwalk was down the stairs path, called Excelsior, about 100 ft from the front door. It is centrally located for lots of exploring and hiking. We were sad to leave and would book here again.

This is our second stay at Harrison House, about a year apart. Again we appreciated its comfortable, quiet, picturesque, elevated position above Sausalito, yet accessible for an aerobic 400m walk to waterfront San Francisco Bay and attractive village-like Downtown, with its included: ferry terminal, delis, coffee-spots, quality restaurants and more. The apartment is clean, well presented, with great 'Bay-vista windows, reclining armchairs, airconditioning, optional fresh air, and very well equipped. Our host provided welcoming wine, chocolate, tea and coffee provisions which is an added, delightful touch. Street parking worked well, as there is alternative front and back apartment access to forked roads.It's the type of place to which we would return again! Highly recommended!

The best of Sausalito

I stayed from mid-March - April and absolutely loved it. The unit is located on the first floor of a 2 story walk up that houses 4 units. The unit has beautiful views of the bay and is a quick 7 minute walk down to the ferry, which takes you to San Francisco. I worked in the city so I took the ferry almost everyday. The entire unit was also nicely finished and furnished. We cooked dinner many nights with the high end appliances. Overall, the place felt like home from the moment we walked in. Irma and Teresa were extremely responsive and helpful if we needed anything. We hope to go back one day!

Simply Magical! An Unforgettable Stay! From the moment we stepped through the door, we were completely enchanted by Teresa’s space. It was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. Every detail reflected thoughtfulness and genuine care. The welcome basket and the clear, helpful instructions set the tone for what turned out to be a truly memorable experience. My wife and I felt cared for in a way that far exceeded our expectations. And Teresa herself. What an exceptional host. Her kindness, attentiveness, and generosity made us feel genuinely welcomed and completely at ease. She goes above and beyond in every possible way. The location was perfect. Peaceful and private, yet close to a variety of charming hidden gems. And the view? Breathtaking. It was calming, rejuvenating, and something we’ll always carry with us. If this place is available, do yourself a favour and book it right away. Experiences like this are rare. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and deeply grateful. Thank you, Teresa, from the bottom of our hearts. Your care and hospitality made this so much more than just a stay. It was an experience we’ll never forget.

December in Sausalito

What a great five days in Sausalito California! The rental property was a perfect cozy place for us! Loved waking up and walking to the large picture window to take in the views of the waterfront. For 2 adults it was the perfect size, giving us plenty of space to enjoy a couple of prepared meals, enjoy wine in front of the fireplace, and take in the sunrise views with gifted coffee and pastries from the owner. The home was well furnished, well lit, very clean with a generously equipped kitchen. We were very comfortable the moment we arrived. The bathrooms were modern and spacious with plush robes which were a morning ritual. Having the washer and dryer was a luxury and is a must for any rental we book. The welcome basket was devoured especially those early-mornings that we took off for early acting like tourists and needed a yummy pastry. If you don't know Sausalito be prepared to encounter steep hills in the residential area. parking was s little steep, but we didn't have to park in the narrow street. If we had rented a large SUV that may have been more challenging. We would definitely recommend this rental for a couple or a family with small children or 1 child. We didn't notice the second bedroom having a lot storage for belongings. Would highly recommend this rental, the owners have done an excellent job keeping it very well maintained as well as providing a coziness to make you feel very much at home.

Perfect little spot in Sausalito

Harrison House could not have been lovelier. My stay was part of some unfortunate circumstances, and although I would have preferred to have been in my own home, Harrison House was as perfect an alternative as could be. The view is beautiful and the neighborhood charming and quiet. The owner has made this place homey and inviting without giving the feeling that you're invading somebody else's space, with details from the stones loving placed under the bathroom window to the comfy chair in the perfect phone spot. I found everything I needed (scissors! tape! Ziploc bags!). It was the home away from home that I needed.

About the host

Host profile image
AI Artist & Portrait Photographer with a background in photography, film, and design.

After years living abroad in Amsterdam, I’m back in the Bay Area and enjoy sharing my peaceful space with guests who appreciate beauty, balance, and a sense of calm.

Why they chose this property

I love this neighborhood because it sits perfectly between the city and nature. It’s beautiful and walkable, with easy access to cafés, boutiques, galleries, and restaurants.

Both the ferry and bus go directly to San Francisco and are just down the hill via Excelsior Lane, just to the right of the front door.

What makes this property unique

My condo is nestled in Sausalito’s Banana Belt, a rare sunny microclimate below the fog line, offering a bright, warm retreat with historic charm and sweeping views of the Bay.

Inside, original hardwood floors and classic crown moldings blend seamlessly with stylish, artistically curated decor and the cozy glow of a gas fireplace.

Thoughtful extras like a welcome gift basket and complimentary access to Netflix and Prime Video ensure an elevated yet down-to-earth experience, touches you won’t often find in other rentals.
