About this property

"Top Choice Houseboat Rental," says Discover Sausalito. 2bd 2ba floating home.


Family and Pet Friendly; check out the RMS Atlas on "Bring Fido!" Rated top pet-friendly floating home. Free automobile parking and available boat anchorage.

The RMS Atlas is an adorable boat and a very special home, floating on the highly coveted Issaquah Dock, facing south, on the primary lagoon in San Francisco Bay's famous Sausalito houseboat community. This is a completely updated, remodeled, classic floating home (houseboat) with two bedrooms, two baths, two sky decks, a floating dock, and front deck. Radiant heat throughout. Fast Internet, full channel TV, views of San Francisco, Tiburon, Belvedere, Mt. Tam and the Sausalito Headlands and lagoons.

Water craft include kayaks and Hobie stand up board/pedal board. Embrace the natural splendor and "sailor friendly" Sausalito Floating Home Community and explore the fun surrounding us.

Based in Marin County, directly north of the Golden Gate Bridge, the RMS Atlas is walkable to restaurants, art galleries and coffee shops in Sausalito. Or drive just 15 minutes to Rodeo beach, 15 minutes to San Francisco, 20 minutes to Muir Woods, and 40 minutes to the California wine country. Take ferries to San Francisco, Alcatraz, Tiburon, Belvedere, and Angel Island.

Hiking is glorious in Sausalito, including Cavello Point, Muir Woods and views of the Richmond, Bay, and Golden Gate Bridges, the City of San Francisco and over the ocean to the Farralone Islands. Nearby bike path runs to popular beaches and a special bike lane to cross the Golden Gate Bridge!

Walk to fabulous Sausalito restaurants. Music scene is casual and plentiful. Jazz Festival is a free, summer delight, as are the plentiful float ins for outdoor music and movies. The kids love the Marine Mammal Center and the Cavallo Outdoor/Indoor Discovery Museum and adults can indulge in the amazing spa and romantic waterfront restaurants.

There’s no way to fully express in words how wonderful this houseboat, amenities and location are. We had the time of our lives. Sausalito is a gem but Issiquah Dock and the RMS Atlas are pure magic. The views and water, eateries and vibe are like no place else. Thank you Regina for our month of paradise!
