A stunning San Francisco Bay lighthouse is offering a couple around $140,000 to move to a tiny bed and breakfast to be its innkeepers. 

The East Brother Light Station is hiring for a couple to take over innkeeping duties at the five-star B&B and run a ferry to bring visitors to the island. 

The role does require at least one member of the couple to have a valid US Coast Guard  boat license to operate the ferry, according to its website

'They will operate the five-room inn, serving both dinner and breakfast, as well as providing ferry service for guests and all other tasks from chef to maid,' it said.  

The couple would receive a healthcare plan and have living quarters on the island as part of a pay package that averaged about $140,000 over the past two years and is 'trending upward.'

The only catch? There's no internet. 

There's also no wired phone, and the island has no water pressure, according to Fox 8

Innkeepers will also not be allowed to own pets and cannot smoke, according to SFGate.

Applications are currently open for the role. 

The island is located on a small island off of Point Molate between the San Francisco and San Pablo Bays. 

The outgoing keepers have been taking care of the inn and lighthouse for two years.  

The lighthouse, located on a seven-acre island near the Richmond–San Rafael Bridge, has been an active lighthouse since 1873 and, in 1979, was restored and transformed into a cozy inn to help raise money for the lighthouse's operations.
