This is a wonderful property in a sublime location. Beauty is everywhere—on the water, the great restaurants, the beaches, the city next door..what else could one possibly ask for? And to top it off Kimberly, the owner/host wins my vote for best host ever! Smart, accessible, attentive. This houseboat is her kid and she pampers it with much love. My dog, Stevie, just woofed in agreement.

On the water with unlimited views and birds

Property was well maintained. Kimberly and Ryan made sure I knew how things worked on the houseboat that were different from a typical house on land. Great view of the Sausalito hills and harbors. Great Blue Herons and Egrets visited daily! Walking distance to shops, hardware, restaurants, Grocery, and library. Comfey bed and all appliances. Compact yet felt spacious with all of the windows and sunshine pouring in. Top notch communication and troubleshooting from the host. Five Stars

Sausalito Salty Dog

I spent a month on the houseboat called “Salty Dog”. I had my 20 lb puppy, Tilly with me and a friend who is a professional pet sitter came and joined us a few times. Two things really impressed me. 1., the boat was superbly equipped as if ready for a long range voyage and 2. The neighbors were all Salties - creative, fun, and helpful. Proximity to everything from a grocery store , laundry and to a pub and a bunch of great local restaurants all within walking distance was great. Parking was easy and, despite the 3 hours max sign, parked there every night for a month and never got a ticket. The vibe was brilliant and the humor and funny decorations were very sweet. Kimberly and her husband were super responsive when we had a question. All in all a 5 star experience with a three star price!

Kim’s Boat house was a fantastic experience! Absolutely recommend staying here. The views, boat layout was the best boat house I have stayed on (and we have done a bunch!) neighbors were excellent and plenty to do around the area. Must stay!
