About the host
Hosted by Regina
Joe and I love the Sausalito Floating Home community for the natural beauty and the sense of friendly community. You can choose to enjoy the boats, boards, kayaks, and other toys or, quietly enjoy your holiday as a romantic getaway. The RMS Sage has "front seat" viewing of the the float - in free music concerts on our own lagoon. Or walk into town where there are plenty of art galleries, great upscale and basic restaurants, music spots, fresh bakeries, and a few choice dive bars.
Why they chose this property
Sausalito floating home community is a historical paradise and a particularly friendly environment amidst a peaceful and beautiful water neighborhood. The RMS Sage is a stunning, fully updated, and wonderfully located floating home located on the primary lagoon, in deep water. It is the only floating home with full three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Located adjacent to Jennifer Garner's floating home used as the set for "The Last Thing He Told Me," a stay on the RMS Sage is a very special floating wonderland.
What makes this property unique
Large and lovely houseboat in the historic Sausalito Floating Home community. "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," was written by Otis Redding about these docks.
