Inside, guests will find two inviting twin cabins, a comfortable futon lounge area, air conditioning and heating for year-round comfort, and all the essentials for a relaxing escape on the water. Whether you're sipping coffee on deck as the sun rises, enjoying the glow of the harbor lights at night, or simply unwinding in the calm coastal atmosphere, Starry Starboard offers a peaceful experience unlike a traditional hotel or rental.
