For those who want to get away to Sausalito, Calif., Lois and Bob have a unique proposition for accommodations. They offer a two bedroom houseboat on Airbnb which they call "A Floating Guest Cottage." Airbnb is a company based in San Francisco, Calif., that offers alternatives to traditional travel accommodations.
Located in the Yellow Ferry Harbor, the houseboat is about 12 minutes from the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco. Lois and Bob, the owners of the houseboat, live in the houseboat next to the "cottage" and are available to help with knowing where to go and what to see when visiting the Bay Area.
