Double check your reservation!
I booked this property June 1 of 2023. My wife and I called the day we were supposed to check in (Friday April 19) we hadn’t received any arrival instructions. VRBO was confirmed with reservation ID and Property ID. 4 hrs on the phone with VRBO and the property management company. And long story short the property management company didn’t have our reservation and double booked over us. VRBO and the proper management company left us high and dry. Definitely don’t recommend. Instead stay at the house boat next door. Far better set up and owner Kim couldn’t have been nicer and more accommodating.

Lovely Romantic Getaway
My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary & had a great time. The boat is amazingly spacious, and the views (particularly the gorgeous sunsets) are lovely. Having the tiki bar nearby was a nice plus. We look forward to coming back!

A taste of paradise
This was such a cool experience. Being right on the water with magnificent sunsets was priceless. We didn’t realize the bedroom had to be accessed from the outside, but it was worth it. Would highly recommend and we are looking forward to future stays. The boat does bob in the water sometimes, so if you’re affected by sea sickness, bring some Dramamine. It was awesome, and they accepted our well behaved fur babies.

Nice Get Away on the water!
Loved the views and the decor! Even with the rain we felt cozy and comfortable. *Might suggest adding a full length mirror. The games were nice, as we actually played battleship for the first time in years! Loved the recliner and the choice of coffees & teas.
