Waterfront Boutique Bungalow Two -Walk to Ferry to San Francisco
Summary: This vintage bungalow is in St. Vincent Historic District, within walking distance to waterfront restaurants, amenities and a world class ferry service to San Francisco and a short drive to the world-renowned Wine Country. Renovated by award-winning architects, this original tiny house is your home away from home, while enjoying affordable 5-star premium boutique experience! The owners are mom-and-pop, all time Superhosts with over 600 nearly 5-star reviews. We welcome you all!
The Space: The historic Bungalow, the original tiny house of 700 square feet area of space is ample for up to 4 guests. Again, fully renovated for modern convenience but keeping all historic charm intact. The bungalow has one-bedroom, walk-in closet, one bath (Jack and Jill) with a claw foot tub, large eat in kitchen, laundry/pantry room and a cozy comfortable living room. A private outdoor area with seating is available for your use. There is other outdoor seating for larger groups. Stylish furnishings and a fully equipped kitchen await to show off your culinary talent. The porch, deck or front steps of the property is a wonderful place for you to hang out and watch the sunset over the Napa River, it is quite stunning.
There are dedicated AC window units in both the living room and the bedroom. The Bungalows have heating and cooling, unlike some Victorians.
Boutique Bungalows have over 600 nearly 5-star reviews! Our reviews speak for itself, but I can attest, our Boutique Bungalows are at the top-top-tier accommodation for any short-term rentals and hotels available in the area and the region. For its premium offer at affordable budget, value is stupendous!
Here are what guests are saying: “immaculate, stylish, cozy, kitchen with all imaginable tools, most comfortable and cozy bed, all with exceptional hospitality of host who responds quickly.” For all that, Bungalows are an affordable option to costly Wine country accommodations. 99% of guests rate the value five stars. Many are also surprised by how close the wineries are, and as I have highlighted, guests agree that it is a “great jumping-off point” to what the Bay Area offers.
Waterfront Weather: The microclimate of the bungalows is an enjoyable place to stay. It is +/-15 degrees cooler with its waterfront breeze in summer thanks to the proximity to the Bay. In winter, it also has a moderating effect on the chill factor.
One guest exclaimed, “this was the most relaxing vacation I had in 25 years,” sitting under a shade looking at the Napa River right from the property (BB3).
Bungalow Two has a private dedicated car park right next to the unit.
Guest Access: Each Guest/group have access to their entire freestanding bungalow, affording complete privacy. Unlike 90% of STR in the area, our Bungalows are fully detached, charming houses with each having its own private yards and views to the Napa River from the Property grounds.
Contactless Checkin-Checkout: The entry door is equipped with a private access code for Your use only. You can check in and check out at your own pace anytime. Please ring a bell if you forget your code or have any issues, and we can help.
The Neighborhood: The historic St. Vincent district is peppered with beautiful historic Victorians, including one famous Julia Morgan building. The Boutique Bungalows were part of the worker housing for the Mare Island Shipyard. It is vintage and charming to boot. All Bungalows were renovated for modern convenience but keeping its character in tact. Live in history and try out these original tiny houses! A quick walk down to the Ferry Terminal with service to San Francisco and the SF Giants Ballpark, Saturday Farmers Market, numerous waterfront restaurants & bars, walkways, and nature trails. Walking distance is Mare Island with its outdoor Breweries, wine tasting rooms, and historical shipyard and officers mansions worth taking a tour. The ferry ride across the Bay is an absolute treat in itself. Leave your car and hop on a Ferry; for couples, it is a much better way to visit San Francisco. Vallejo is famous for its waterfront festivals(Pirates, Vintage Car Shows ++), Sear Point Raceway, Six Flags Amusement Park, and a gateway to this beautiful Bay Area. Treat Bungalows as your jumping-off point to Marin, East Bay, San Francisco, and VA hospitals in Fairfield. Only a short ride to the world-famous wineries and San Pablo Bay Wildlife Sanctuary for fantastic bird watching. And for trivia, Vallejo was the original capital of California!
Getting Around: Centrally located, Vallejo is an excellent hub for your Bay Area attractions with easy access to Sonoma/Napa wineries, North and East Bays, and San Francisco. You have quick access to major highways via HWY 37, Interstate 80, Interstate 780, and direct ferry services. You could forgo a car if you opt to. I would recommend renting a car for families and people who wait 5 minutes for the nearest parking spot kind of person.
Bungalows are accessible via automobile, ferry, Bart, Bus, and Uber/Lyft.
Note: Even though Bungalows are located walkable distance to major transit options, I recommend having a car for grocery shopping and other site seeing in those days you need to rent cars. If you are a family of three and above, renting a car is highly recommended.
Other Things to Note: FREE Parking: There is plenty of unrestricted street parking immediately in front of Bungalows. There are no parking rules: unlike any other cities in the Bay Area.
FREE WIFI: Fast Xfinity/Comcast Wi-Fi for guests: 225 MPS speed.
Sofa Bed: Please inform us of any two-guest reservation that requires sofa bedding. Sofa bedding comes automatically for three + guests. For two guests not using the main bed together, please inform us.
Sofa Mattress: 4" thick memory foam bed for comfort.
Pack and Play: If you need the pack and play, for children under 36" tall, please inform us no later than 72 hours (about 3 days) before check-in. Booking time is the best for asking for the pack and play. If you forget, I must charge $25 for the setup fee.
Bedding/Linens: I am a linen snob. Nothing in our Bungalows is polyester or microfiber. All 100% cotton single ply long staple yarns for bed sheets and 100% cotton turkish towels only.
Cleanliness is Godliness: Cleanliness is the top priority of other premium features we provide. IE luxurious bathrobes. Our cleaning fees reflect living wages for our hard-working cleaners creating jobs for locals.
Contact less Checkin and Checkout: So easy! The door code is your last four digit of your phone number activates at agreed checkin time and deactivates 11:30 AM checkout date.
Checkout Instructions: We do not ask guests to conduct laundry list of chores before they leave! We are easing COVID rules, and all guests must do is put away dirty dishes or soak dirty pans. This is if you used them at all. This is to aid cleaners for a quick turnaround so other guests can check-in earlier if necessary.
Bungalows: Bungalow one is styled mid-century modern, Bungalow two is French Cottage, and Bungalow three is French Provence. They are separate freestanding little houses on one large lot with ample outdoor space in between. Located on the hill overlooking the Bay, it provides relaxing views, but you need to climb stairs.
Quiet and Peace: Many guests cannot believe how peaceful and quiet our neighborhood is. So close to the Marina but far away enough for any traffic noise or commercial traffic.
Interaction with Guests: I am available for any questions as they arise. There is also a guest information manual in the home, listing attractions in the area. I live near by where I can be available for any emergencies.

Clean, comfortable
The space worked well for our needs and we saw a ton of fireworks over Fourth of July weekend. The bungalow was a little warm and stuffy, but instead of using the nest we just opened up the windows and that fixed the problem.

Wonderful!
The property was exactly what I hoped for. It was tidy, homey, and private. I especially loved the private parking and that I could walk to the ferry -- so easy to get to San Francisco! Meehyun was a responsive and accommodating host, made sure I had everything I needed I would definitely stay here again.
This place was great! Originally, I had only planned for two people to be staying here but because we had the space, we were able to have four instead. Two of us shared the one bed and two people slept in the living room on the pullout couch, this property was very clean, it was adorable, and the part we appreciated the most was that there were snacks, water, a bottle of wine and simple things like oil and salt for cooking. We were there for the Maker Faire on Mare Island so it was a perfect location for us to easily walk down to the ferry and the brewery.

Vallejo Bungalow
We stayed at the Waterfront Boutique Bungalow in March 2023. The bungalow we stayed at is at the rear of the property and is as advertised. We had no issues and communication was good. Bed was comfortable and overall a quiet stay though nearby street noise can be quite loud at times.
Check in was flawless, furniture was clean and in good working order. The three bungalows could use a bit of maintenance (paint, gate repair, some yardwork) but nothing was broken and all functioned as it should.
All in all, a good stay in a decent part of Vallejo, which can be hard to find!

Quiet and Quaint
I wanted a quiet and comfortable place. Parking was easy, access was easy and it was quiet. Close enough to downtown Napa to go for a nice dinner. Mare Island was interesting and our visit to St. Peter’s church was enlightening. Not much to the town itself. Overall a pleasant experience.

Comfortable bungalow
Wonderful hosts. Cute very comfortable bungalow, old but updated in the important areas. It is in an old neighborhood with some less than desirable structures. Once you get used to the location, it really is very conveniently situated. Close to Napa, expressways to most ant area of interest and within a mile of the ferry to San Francisco.

Vallejo
The inside has been decorated and updated nicely. The outside needs painting, screens on the windows and front, replacement windows and some kind of insulation to help with heat retention. Even on a 78 degree day the house was very hot when we returned. We left a hot foothill area for a break. Outside wasn't too bad but inside took hours to cool off.

Wonderful little bungalow
We stayed here for a week and really enjoyed it. The location was perfect. We walked to the ferry for San Francisco, and it's a short drive to Napa. There is also plenty to do an see nearby.
The property itself was clean and well maintained. Our bungalow had private off-street parking, which was really nice.
The owner was responsive and helpful with any questions we had or issues. I.e. we had the wrong combo for the lock, but it was resolved in minutes.

We had a wonderful time is this little place. Owners were very accessible and responsive. The Saturday Farmers Market was delightful and we highly recommend the distillery on Mare Island. Wine tasting in nearby Suisun Valley reminded me of what Napa was like in the 70's. Quaint, rustic and great wines.

Ithe location was perfect my excursions both up and down the coast and it was a winderd ‘home away from home’.

Unsafe neighborhood! Not safe to walk to nearby places
Place is adorable BUT We were hungry when we got to property and booklet on the coffee table suggested a couple restaurants close by and “no need to Uber” because they’re within walking distance. We walked to the pizza place suggested and were followed by a man with his hood up and gator-like mask on his face. We turned and stopped walking to see if he’d keep going and didn’t. He stopped with us. Not sure what he was planning on doing to us but left us alone when we called 911. The police officer that brought us back told us, if it was possible, we should stay somewhere else. We left the property right away and got a hotel in nearby American Canyon which the officer also suggested. The homeowner was unwilling to work with us on a refund.
