There’s no way to fully express in words how wonderful this houseboat, amenities and location are. We had the time of our lives. Sausalito is a gem but Issiquah Dock and the RMS Atlas are pure magic. The views and water, eateries and vibe are like no place else. Thank you Regina for our month of paradise!
