Great home base for touring
We had a great 10-day stay and Teresa is a warm host with great communication. The apartment is very clean and has an open feel to it. Great view from the livingroom, including the bay and a young coastal redwood. The kitchen is well equipped and has easy workspace for cooking. The beds are comfortable. The soaking tub is a bonus. Our favorite walking route to the boardwalk was down the stairs path, called Excelsior, about 100 ft from the front door. It is centrally located for lots of exploring and hiking. We were sad to leave and would book here again.

Many very good qualities. Quite responsive when needed. And only real downside is the lack of one comprehensive set of instructions about appliances etc. would have obviated the need for calls. Overall a very positive experience.

Perfect little spot in Sausalito
Harrison House could not have been lovelier. My stay was part of some unfortunate circumstances, and although I would have preferred to have been in my own home, Harrison House was as perfect an alternative as could be. The view is beautiful and the neighborhood charming and quiet. The owner has made this place homey and inviting without giving the feeling that you're invading somebody else's space, with details from the stones loving placed under the bathroom window to the comfy chair in the perfect phone spot. I found everything I needed (scissors! tape! Ziploc bags!). It was the home away from home that I needed.

The best of Sausalito
I stayed from mid-March - April and absolutely loved it. The unit is located on the first floor of a 2 story walk up that houses 4 units. The unit has beautiful views of the bay and is a quick 7 minute walk down to the ferry, which takes you to San Francisco. I worked in the city so I took the ferry almost everyday.
The entire unit was also nicely finished and furnished. We cooked dinner many nights with the high end appliances.
Overall, the place felt like home from the moment we walked in. Irma and Teresa were extremely responsive and helpful if we needed anything. We hope to go back one day!

except for sketchy phone reception, place has everything you could possibly need. Great location!
Very nice neighborhood and building. Quiet, safe, lovely view. Fabulous location. Though we were mostly out early and back to sleep, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Linens were wonderful. 2nd bedroom is quite small but still worked for us. We were here to help with a new grand baby so didn’t spend a lot of time in the unit but quite nice place.
Washer and dryer a plus though we didn’t have to use it. Kitchen seemed to have everything necessary though we only used it for morning coffee and tea. Lovely stay!

Just a heavenly experience!
I hardly know where to start. We came from Canada to the San Francisco area for two weeks to see and experience places and sights that had been on our bucket list for years. Whatever made us choose the Sausalito community for our home base was our first stroke of brilliance! Our second stroke was booking Harrison House. What a cozy, comfortable place to call home with all of its charming decor and useful amenities. This condo is truly a winner with its awesome location up a few winding streets (or the formidable staircase to and from the waterfront, if you are on foot!) and the spectacular views of the bay and the city of San Francisco in the distance. We were lacking for nothing in the condo, thanks to careful and thoughful efforts by everyone involved and in fact were greeted on arrival with a generous welcome basket of lovely treats as well as fresh cut flowers. This was such a nice touch!
If I were to suggest anything to future guests, it would only be to bring your own alarm clock! Everything else is there for you.
Once again, many thanks to Teresa and her helpers for making our stay at Harrison House so delightful and our visit to this breathtakingly beautiful area a memory to cherish!

Perfect place to relax
We stayed at Harrison house for 9 nights. It was our first time staying in Sausalito and it was in an ideal location. It's quite hilly but we got to know the area and how to get around using the somewhat hidden stairs. The apartment is very well appointed, with a yummy basket of goodies welcoming us. My husband and I really enjoyed the kitchen, with its commercial grade stove and appliances. There is even a washer and dryer. Our 13 year old son used the PS4 every day and was quite happy. Overall it is a clean and beautiful place to stay, felt more like a hotel than someone's house with all of its amenities and decor. Highly recommend. Thank you Teresa for opening up your lovely home.

Spectacular, Indeed
I loved my stay at the Sexy Love Nest. The location is divine, just minutes walk from downtown Sausalito, & the condo is divine as well. With stunning water views, I so enjoyed sitting at the dining table doing my work & glancing up to gaze out at sailboats passing by. The bathrooms are beautifully updated, the nice furnishings work well in the space, the bedrooms are bright & pleasant. The Property Manager is also so pleasant & accommodating! I would return!

Spring Break in Sausalito
This apartment was the perfect place to stay for us for our visit to the San Francisco area. Centrally located, quite comfortable, and very clean. It is also a cook's dream with a Viking gas range, a large refrigerator, and is very well-stocked with utensils, pots, pans and dishes. We loved the French press coffe maker, Cusinart water boiler, and the whole bean coffee that the owner had waiting for us. We also very much appreciated the communication we received from the owner with every detail of what we needed to know about the apartment . This included check-in/check-out procedures, parking instructions, details about the wi-if, tv/ electronics, and a host of recommendations on local eateries and sights to see in the area. All in all a fantastic place to stay. We would love to come back and stay again!

The entire place was clean as a whistle, the decor is divine, the views are incredible (even during inclement weather), the kitchen is well stocked (thanks for the goody basket!), the beds are super comfy, and Teresa is a sparkling gem of a hostess! I am truly grateful for having such a fabulous home to stay in while visiting with my family in the bay area. My sister and I will definitely be back!!!

Great Location- Beautiful View
This is beautiful condo with just about every amenity you could want. A lovely welcome basket with baked goodies, coffee, and granola were waiting for us upon arrival. A great kitchen, comfy beds, and a cozy fireplace for those chilly evenings all added up to the perfect week for my husband, our son, and me. Sausalito, like the rest of the Bay Area is built on some rather challenging hills. Getting to the condo can be a bit nerve wracking if you aren't used to navigating narrow, steep streets but it is worth the trip. It an easy walk to downtown Sausalito but careful how much you drink, it's a steep climb back up the stairs! It is also easy to walk to the ferry and avoid the hassle of driving into San Francisco. A short drive north takes you to Napa and Sonoma and to Muirwoods. We very much recommend a stay here!

Sausalito. Worth the visit!
We stayed September 22nd through to the 27th...weather was seasonally high in temperature and beautiful for tourist type adventures. Overall a positive rental experience.
Rental Pro's
-great space, very welcoming on a quiet street.
-a very nice pastry basket awaited our arrival.
-comfortable beds with all of the home comforts.
Rental Con's
-unit AC struggled to work effectively and did not offer any relief during our stay.
-parking on the street worked out well. Driveway parking was not possible with our rental as the SUV bottomed out based on steepness of the driveway.
-ensuite bathroom window exposure made for an uncomfortable experience. Window treatments are required unless you want to be an exhibistionist.
Overall we enjoyed our stay and enjoyed exploring our surroundings. Our first VRBO experience will not be our last.

December in Sausalito
What a great five days in Sausalito California! The rental property was a perfect cozy place for us! Loved waking up and walking to the large picture window to take in the views of the waterfront. For 2 adults it was the perfect size, giving us plenty of space to enjoy a couple of prepared meals, enjoy wine in front of the fireplace, and take in the sunrise views with gifted coffee and pastries from the owner. The home was well furnished, well lit, very clean with a generously equipped kitchen. We were very comfortable the moment we arrived. The bathrooms were modern and spacious with plush robes which were a morning ritual. Having the washer and dryer was a luxury and is a must for any rental we book. The welcome basket was devoured especially those early-mornings that we took off for early acting like tourists and needed a yummy pastry.
If you don't know Sausalito be prepared to encounter steep hills in the residential area. parking was s little steep, but we didn't have to park in the narrow street. If we had rented a large SUV that may have been more challenging. We would definitely recommend this rental for a couple or a family with small children or 1 child. We didn't notice the second bedroom having a lot storage for belongings.
Would highly recommend this rental, the owners have done an excellent job keeping it very well maintained as well as providing a coziness to make you feel very much at home.

Quiet and cozy with a beautiful view!
Teresa is a wonderful hostess and was very responsive to our concerns. We were very pleased and happy with Harrison House. The location was perfect - a 10 minute walk to the waterfront and restaurants galore but away from from the hustle bustle. The condo was very clean, kitchen well stocked and the beds very comfortable with silky sheets that made it hard to get up in the morning! We felt so at home and were sad to have to leave! Thank you, Teresa, for a great week in your place.
