Horrible customer service
I reserved a houseboat. When I arrived I was presented with a Cabin Cruiser. It was not accessible for my dog. They would not provide different accommodations or refund my money. Extremely dissatisfied. I will never use Hotels.com again or VRBO since you have partnered with them. So disappointed in your lack of customer service. I ended up having to sleep in my car that night during a storm after arguing for 3 hours with customer service. When you are not provided what was advertised that is called bait and switch. I have put this on various social media outlets and many people have also expressed similar situations and thanked me for sharing. You won’t care, but you have lost business.

Love Boat
So much fun!! Excellent host! Very informative. Loved the privacy and being on the water. The bed was super comfortable and the fireplace (electric) kept us warm and cozy. It was such a unique thing to do and we will be back!

Staying on a boat was definitly different from staying in the same old boring hotel. We fished, woke up to beautiful views of the James River and Captain Ron is amazing! We loved hearing his stories and enjoyed him sharing them with us. It was just a relaxing, peaceful getaway from our busy lives in the city! Cant wait to go back!

Unique and wonderful experience
A very relaxing and beautiful stay. Ron was very sweet and accommodating. The boat was perfect for a getaway from crazy city life. The marina is rustic and especially beautiful at night. We booked this for an event downtown and was easy to get to and from as well. Perfect setting on the river and for anyone who’s looking to getaway from all the city madness this is perfect especially if you like fishing. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a getaway in the Richmond area.

Extraordinary
Captain Ron really came through with this labor of love . It's so adorable and cozy you feel right at home immediately upon boarding. Amazing sunsets and sunrises over the Historical James River leave you wondering why you didn't think of this sooner

Great place to stay if your headed to Richmond
Staying on Capt Ron's boat was a great experience. Has everything you need, full kitchen, full bath, air conditioning and a very comfy bed. Ron met us at the boat when we arrived and showed us how everything worked. I would recommend this place to anyone.
