“Each room features unique breathtaking views of nature.”
The same contractor built this stunning residence as the Pelican Inn in Muir Beach, and its craftsmanship is one-of-kind. The interior features massive 16” beams salvaged from the Tiburon Railroad Trestle, 3.5” floor planks and ceiling joists from an old high school in San Rafael, and bricks from the Whiskey Springs Distillery in Sausalito, which was destroyed by fire in 1963. The dreamy clawfoot tub in the principal suite was traced to the legendary Sally Stanford, infamous San Francisco brothel owner and former Sausalito mayor.
