    We loved the Imagine cafe and the food was awesome - the hours were a little inconvenient however (opened late) - a very small issue.

    Great location and value - the experience of staying on a floating home in Fisherman's wharf is such a memorable treat! We loved our stay!!

    Didn’t like the noise from construction nearby. There was also no tv to watch in the evening.

    Didn’t have breakfast, but loved being on the wharf, especially after the crowds and construction workers left.

    Everything was great!

    This was the most unique stay I have ever been on! We loved the houseboat and especially the proximity to everything. We were in the Ivy room and it was well equipped with everything we needed. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast options were great!

    Carene’s “Rooms for Let” exceeded our expectations. The Fisherman’s Wharf location is fabulous.

    Unique. Location, location, location! Quiet. Clean. As advertised & MORE. Carene was MOST responsive to our inquiry, through email, as she was in Mexico at the time of our visit.

    Nothing it was fabulous!

    The location was absolutely fabulous! It was super cute, very clean and the bed was lovely and comfortable. I enjoyed the quiet and slept for 11 hours! The free parking was a huge bonus, as was the very delicious (included in my room rate) breakfast at the cafe across the street. The complimentary coffee and cream was appreciated!

    It was a bit noisy as the rooms are very close. My pet barked at all the noises which was probably irritating for the other guestsI

    The room was nicely decorated and clean. The check in and out was smooth. The location was convenient especially for my pet.

    Carene’s Float Home was the best B&B we have stayed at!!! The Fisherman’s Wharf location was fabulous with quaint restaurants and small tugboat transportation steps away. We kept hearing people say “I wish we had stayed there”! We will definitely be back!! Thank you again Carene for your hospitality! Julie
