Sausalito is the perfect location to launch day trips to all the wonderful sights Northern California has to offer. Our home has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, living area and kitchen on the main floor, 1 bedroom and bath on the ground level. There is a semi spiral staircase from entry to the main floor as well as direct access to main living area floor from the deck and kitchen. It comfortably sleeps 6 people. We have wonderful close up views of the bay and harbor for almost every room in the house and from the deck and gardens. We are located in a quiet residential neighborhood just 2 blocks up from the center of town - with access to all the restaurants, shops and ferry by foot. We are situated on a cul-de sac of sorts so there is no through traffic to disturb the serenity.

Stay at Butterfly house

I stayed at the Butterfly house for 6 weeks. When I saw all the pictures of the house there was no indication that there was a steep flight of stairs from the ground level to the living quarters. I am convinced that the owners deliberately left out a picture of the stairs. Normally it would just be an inconvenience but I have serious spinal issues and for me it was a major problem. Also, there were no cleaning services during the six week period.. Also, entrance to the property was via a lock box. I never met the owners.

Beautiful, spacious house with amazing view

We had a wonderful stay at the Butterfly House. This is a lovely, quirky house, with lots of cool nooks and crannies that make it a really charming place to stay. Plenty of room, serviceable kitchen, very clean and well-maintained. What makes this house an experience is the view. The living room and all three bedrooms overlook the bay. Even more special is the terrace. There's a lovely little tile table for two outside where we would have breakfast in the morning. Irene was very responsive and always answered our questions very quickly. She gave us perfect directions through the very steep hills and sharp turns. I will say that backing into the parking spot off a steep hill was a challenge, but I got fairly good at it after the first couple of times. The setting is definitely worth the drive!

Great getaway

We are frequent visitors to the Bay Area, but this was the first time staying in Sausalito. My wife and I, plus our 3 children stayed for 1 week, and the house was perfect for our stay. Beautiful view, easy walk to town and ferry, and quick drive into SF. Irene was great and provided very detailed instructions about the house and neighborhood. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect location

We were here for a month in this perfect location for visiting many things near SF. The house has an incredible view but be prepared to walk up steep hills! Three bathrooms made this house perfect for us. It is very charming, but a little dated. Irene and Greg were very helpful with suggestions and answered all our questions promptly. We'd recommend the Ferry, Lands End and the Point Bonita lighthouse. Also a short trip down to Monterey was a highlight!

Fantastic holiday home

We spent a glorious week here. Ideal location for visiting San Francisco but staying somewhere out of the city. House very comfortable with superb views and nice top garden for breakfast in the sun. Very well equipped and Irene and Greg were v helpful with hints and tips about travel, eating out etc. Sausalito has a lovely marina (seals, pelicans and other seabirds) with places to eat. Ferry journey to and from SF very relaxing (but easy by car too). Lots of things to do from the house with a car including wine and cheese country tours, coastline walks, Silicon Valley, Berkeley...House would suit all ages but it is located on quite a steep hill (hence the views!).
