We had a great stay. The houseboat was exactly as advertised, and it was such a fun and unique experience. It was relaxing to feel the gentle sway of the bay water. The views were beautiful! The accommodations felt like staying in a well-appointed camping trailer, with everything we needed for our getaway. I would happily recommend this place to friends and would definitely stay here again.

Can't beat the location and views were amazing. More like glamping and not for over 50 crowd. Bathroom is tough to access but it is a boat. Could use some maintenance. Bathroom faucet was a trickle and exterior lights were mostly out. Marina is pretty run down but parking was safe.

Hello, thank you for your comments. I will attend to the faucet and the lights that i was just told about were not working properly. I am 68 years old and I live there for a year. to say that people over 50 would find it challenging is just not accurate. My brother 81 and my sister 75 were just fine. I do feel it is not suitable for any one who has moving limitations at any age. I hope you enjoyed the rest like location, views, etc....

Lourdes is a super host! If you want a “glamping on the water” experience, this is a rare find. You’ll find the houseboat rock you to a rhythm of naps and tranquility. The boat is water facing. Any dining or market needs are a very close walk away. You can even sign out bikes and paddle boards as options for those more adventurous. Highly recommend this retreat!!

This is a wonderful option for staying in Sausalito. It’s walking distance to restaurants. The view from the covered back porch is amazing. The design of the inside is very thoughtful and efficient. We were very comfortable. It may not work for those with mobility issues, but other than that, what a great place!

Such a unique and memorable experience! I found this houseboat to be very comfortable, well-equipped, and more spacious than it looked online. It is located on a friendly and quiet dock with convenient access to excellent cafés, restaurants, and stores. Parking was easy. There was no wifi on the boat so I used a hotspot from my phone. The host was communicative and helpful before, during, and after my stay.

We had a great time on the boat. My friend was 80 and did great with navigating the stairs and steps to the bathroom and off and on the boat itself. It was so relaxing and serene.

The view on the back of this boat was nice. We really enjoyed the location and proximity to downtown Sausalito. The host was slow to respond through the app and we did not receive videos to explain key details such as parking and door locks. The written directions were possibly outdated or just incorrect.

This is a dreamy, cozy boat in a very nice, old skool marina. The neighbors were all so friendly and the views of the marina and the hillside (with fog creeping over it or sun rays peaking through the clouds) made it magical. The only thing I’d change would be to have at least two cook plates. It was difficult to cook for three people with just the one. However, if you just want to eat out, there are many great options within walking distance and a great natural food store just a block away. Definitely a restorative stay.
