Liberty Dock is one of the floating home communities inside Waldo Point Harbor, and one of the most recognizable. Seventy-two homes line its length, and it sits directly across the harbor's open water from Issaquah Dock — together the two docks form the arms of a floating amphitheater. For buyers who want dock life with a strong sense of neighborliness and a lot going on, Liberty Dock is worth a close look.
What Makes Liberty Dock Different
What sets Liberty Dock apart is its culture. The dock has a long tradition of staging things — community spectacles that spill onto the water and draw the whole harbor in. As Paul puts it, paddle-in Shakespeare, kayak-in music concerts, and just about all things watery take place here. Neighbors know each other, and new arrivals are genuinely welcomed into the community.
The dock's physical location is also exceptional. Homes here get wide-open Bay views with excellent light and, in many slips, direct sight lines to Mount Tamalpais. Evenings on Liberty Dock, when the fog rolls in off the Bay and neighbors gather on their decks, feel distinctly unhurried — the pace is slower here than almost anywhere else in Marin.
Community culture is tight. Decisions and shared concerns get worked out through genuine conversation among neighbors rather than bureaucratic process, and long-term residents are invested in maintaining what makes Liberty Dock special. That's a meaningful thing when you're evaluating where to buy — the best floating home communities are maintained not just physically but culturally.
Pricing and What to Expect
Prices at Liberty Dock span a wide range — roughly $500,000 to $3 million, depending on the home's size, condition, and position on the dock. As with every Sausalito dock, the range within Liberty Dock is far wider than the gap between docks, so the individual home matters more than the address.

Slip fees at Liberty Dock are comparable to other Sausalito communities, though as with any dock, the details of the slip lease — term length, renewal provisions, and monthly cost — are critical parts of any purchase evaluation. Paul Bergeron has been part of transactions here and knows the ins and outs of how the marina structures its slip lease agreements.
If Liberty Dock is your target, the best strategy is to connect with an agent who knows the community well enough to hear about opportunities before they're listed. Call Paul or Roman at (415) 332-7539.
