Although we are only a little over an hour from Tiburon, we just can't wait until our next get-away to the Water's Edge!!! My husband & I are headed up to Tiburon for our 4th stay in 3 years. The location is great: walk to shopping (great little stores), restaurants, bars, grocery and most importantly the water. This beautiful boutique hotel is very warm & the rooms very spa-like. The lobby, where they serve wine and cheese & crackers nightly, is very inviting. We have met many interesting travelers there sipping wine in front of the fireplace.
They also serve a very liberal Continantal breakfast, brought to your room (with newspaper) at your requested time. A number of the rooms and the deck are literally over the water with a beautiful view of San Francisco. We like the 'view-king' rooms. I recommend bringing a bottle of champagne & watching the sunset from the deck. (don't forget a jacket!) You can also catch a ferry ride to SF or Angel Island (check schedules). Validated parking across the street, an excellent staff & beautiful setting make the Water's Edge a great place to spend a couple of days. ENJOY!! Ask them about the Joie de Vivre Rewards club. (No I don't work for them, but have enjoyed many of their Bay Area boutique hotels.)

My husband and I spent two nghts at The Waters Edge in July 2003. We split our stay in the San Francisco area into three nights downtown and two in Tiburon. We loved the hotel. Very clean and modern; the complimentary wine and nibbles in the evening were very welcome. The staff was very professional - room rate a little bit more expensive than our budget, but we got upgraded to a nicer room, so it was worth it. Tiburon is a great and relaxing location for a day or two.
