Our Story
Every Detail Handled, So You Can Fully Let Go
A note from Eddie, owner of Watercourse Way Bath House Spa — on why your spa day should feel effortless from the moment you walk in.
Hi, I'm Eddie, the owner of Watercourse Way Bath House Spa. I built this place around one quiet conviction: a spa day only works when nothing interrupts it. Not a crowded lounge, not an unclear price, not a room that feels less than spotless.
So we do things differently here at 165 Channing Avenue. Every room is private and entirely yours — warm water, soft light, hot stones ready, tea offered before you ask. Our massage therapists are skilled professionals in Swedish, deep tissue, hot stone, and aromatherapy work, using Bon Vital', Biotone, and Master Massage products on tables prepared to the last fold of linen.
I'm proud of what our guests say — 4.7 stars across more than 1,300 Google reviews, with the same words appearing again and again: immaculate, serene, professional. Couples come for anniversaries and scrub-and-soak sessions. Regulars turn a single soak into a standing ritual. We're fully licensed and insured, and every visit is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
My promise is simple: we handle every detail quietly behind the scenes, so the only thing left for you to do is let go.

In Our Guests' Words
Why Guests Return, Visit After Visit
Went to the Watercourse bathhouse with my girlfriend during our visit to the Bay Area. One of the best spas that we’ve been to. Loved the staff and the cleanliness. We got the package with a massage and our private room with a sauna, hot tub and cold plunge. Our massages were absolutely amazing! Cannot wait to go again on our next visit.
