A great find!
Debbie was an amazing host. Boat was super comfortable and accommodating! We sat on the back deck and watched dolphins, fish, birds, and even a manatee greeted us at dinner time! We will be back! Thank you for a great memory!

I Need to Give a Terrible Review
I almost dread giving a good review because I'm afraid that too many people will want to reserve time because of a +review. Thus competing w the number of return visits that I hope to have in the near future!!
For me Lazy Parrot offered the respite that I needed after dealing with the repercussions of Hurricane Ian in my Fort Myers Beach area. It happened to be a great visit with an amazing sunset followed by an equally beautiful sunrise. It was sort of a ying yang of God's divine tapestry...
After being flooded with water from Hurricane Ian it was nice to be ON the water and to see the tranquility and comfort the same medium has to offer.
The entire stay was stress-free because our hostess made sure everything was in perfect order in real time. We never had to wait for anything. I hope to be back before too many readers see this Review. 1111.
