"These people is out to rip people off. They are illegally renting their junk bost in a marina that doesn't allow them to rent for vacations. Nothing was ready for my me and my family. I had to fill up the water on the boat myself, toilet didn't work. There facility toilet is about a quarter miles away. They only gave us one key so if one person leaves no one else can get out. Save your money and run . False advertisements it does not sleeps 8 people barley hodls 5. The toilet stopped flushing...

"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"
