Our home with views is in the heart of Sausalito, the "Amalfi Coast of California." Minutes from San Francisco, with urban life and nature access at the same time: birds and deer roam the neighborhood, hiking trails and beaches abound, historic Victorian homes are next to great restaurants, live music venues, and gourmet grocery stores. The Ferry terminal is a 5 minute walk and San Francisco a 25-minute ferry ride, or 20-minute drive over the Golden Gate Bridge, or one- hour bike ride away.
We are in a quiet residential neighborhood just one block up a hill from the main street through Sausalito. The SF Ferry dock is a 5 minute walk.
Sausalito is a hillside town on a part of the SF Bay known as Richardson Bay. The neighborhood we are in is known as the "Sun Belt" because it's the warmest and least windy part of Sausalito. Downtown can be accessed via several streets or several stairways between properties. Sausalito is know for its beautiful views of San Francisco, historic old Victorian homes, and access to nature.
There is plenty of safe on-street neighborhood parking available.
There are two flights of stairs to get to the guest house. One from the street down to our property and another from the front of the house down to the guest house.
The neighborhood is great for walking. Lots of historic Victorian homes and beautiful views to see. You can walk to beaches on the bay and to trailheads that lead out into the Marin Headlands and the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.
The area is very popular with bikers (road and mountain) and there are bike shops nearby that rent bikes for the day (including ebikes).
Most of San Francisco is assessable via public transportation, starting with a scenic ferry ride from a dock that is a 5 minute walk. Napa and the wine country are about 40 minutes north by car. The beautiful natural areas and beaches of West Marin and Tomales Bay are about 45 minutes by car.
