About this property

Stellar Houseboat in Sausalito, Sitting on the Dock of the Bay

Float back in time to the glory years of Marin County, where artists, musicians, and dreamers found inspiration “Sitting on the Dock of the Bay” and imagining worlds “Where the Sidewalk Ends.” Nestled in Kappas Marina, in the heart of Sausalito’s iconic floating home community — the largest in the United States — 17 E. Pier offers a rare chance to experience life on the water in one of the most unique neighborhoods anywhere. Bright, cozy, airy, and filled with great art, the home feels one part boat and three parts house. We love spending time here watching the tides, birds, fog, and ever-changing light across the bay — it never gets old. This thoughtfully designed 2-bedroom, 1-bath floating home features four expansive decks with stunning sunrise and sunset views, a private boat dock facing Mt. Tamalpais, and a lower deck off the guest room with a private infrared sauna. Inside, you’ll also find a steam shower perfect for chilly evenings on the water.
The massive concrete hull below provides incredible bonus space, including storage, laundry, two wine refrigerators, and a custom hangout room with a TV. This kids love sleeping down there! Whether it’s morning coffee overlooking Mt. Tam or an evening cocktail while the fog rolls over the Marin Headlands, this is a truly unforgettable Sausalito waterfront experience.
*Please note that, per City of Sausalito guidelines, all rentals require a minimum stay of 30 days.**Open starting in September for 30 day periods.
