San Francisco Bay Guardian, 2006 Best Of The Bay:

Captains / Innkeepers Elan & Katy were surprised to receive an announcement from the San Francisco Bay Guardian That East Brother Light Station had been awarded the Editor's

Pick for the "Best of Bay." as the: "BEST OVERNIGHTER RIGHT ON THE WATER" The Guardian went on to say: "Bazillionaires vacation on private islands, sipping champagne and feasting on the sights that we just dream about. But if you're in the mood to splurge, surprise your sweetie and jaunt across the bay for an enchanted night at the East Brother Light Station, our very own paradise island. A small romantic B&B on a three-quarter-acre island right offshore from Richmond, on the straits between the San Francisco and San Pablo bays, this place is unforgettably cute. You can wine and dine in the cozy restored Victorian within a 130-year-old working lighthouse, spot seals lounging on nearby West Brother Island, and climb the light tower to savor panoramic views of Mt. Tam, Angel Island, downtown San Francisco, and a lot of little islands you've probably never heard of. Wake up to the rhythm of the waves, the cries of seagulls, and the bittersweet realization that you eventually have to go home."
