Houseboats in California

"The Captain was most gracious. We spent three nights docked in Marina del Rey on a yacht. While on this trip, we also took a short cruise. It was so spectacular. There was a water bus that we took to some shops. Lots of fun. The crew on the yacht were so friendly and attentive to our needs. This was our first time as overnight guests on a yacht. It was a beautiful experience. I highly recommend this type of vacation."

"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"

"Cute and clean houseboat. Mallony was a pleasure to communicate with and quick to respond. The sunrise views from the top of the boat were so beautiful. We even saw a sea lion! Its close proximity to downtown Sausalito made walking around so easy. "

"Lots of fun"

"Great stay!"

"3 - 3.5 totalBoat was very nice, a little cold but that's mostly down to the unusual cold snap we're in.

We tried several different faucets and the bath but were unable to get any hot water from any of the available sources. Not sure if there was some button or water heater we needed to activate, nothing...

"We loved our stay!"

"We had a wonderful stay on Vela! The boat was spacious and comfortable for our family of four. We loved watching the boats and wild life in the harbor and had so much fun taking the dinghy out to explore more.The boat had everything we needed to make a few meals. The marina bathrooms were convenient, large, and clean. We would absolutely stay again when we are back to Ventura. "
