The neighborhood
Stephanie and David’s houseboat (floating home) is located on Harbor Island by downtown San Diego, California, United States
Harbor Island is a beautiful strip of land bordered by the San Diego Harbor on all sides. You'll find an incredible view of downtown along the boardwalk that leads to some of the best restaurants in San Diego. As for the marina, it's a tranquil and special place to spend your vacation. You will see boats slipping in and out of the docks throughout the day, paddle-boarders gliding by and the occasional kayaker cruising the slips.
At the base of the docks there's a deli serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner along with beer/wine/juices/snacks for sale. Wander over to the Sheraton Hotel (5min walk) for a glass of wine on one of the restaurant patios or catch happy hour at C-Level for a gorgeous view of the downtown skyline over the water.
Our homet sets directly adjacent to the Sheraton Hotel and we have enjoyed a few weddings, live music and people watching. At the far end of the hotel you can rent out nearly any water-sport equipment available (kayaks, paddle-boards, jet-skis, sailing tours).
Getting around
Ample parking is available in our parking lot with provided parking pass. If you prefer to go without a vehicle, the airport is close enough that you could walk (about 15 minutes) or if you are tired after your flight, grab an Uber, Lyft or Taxi. There's also the Big Bay Shuttle (May-Sept) offering connections along the harbor into downtown for $3/day that will take you to various locations including Little Italy, The Midway, Seaport Village, and the Convention Center/Gaslamp area. For those who enjoy biking, there is a bike rental station just feet from the Marina.
