Would probably stay again

It was a beautiful location on a canal with wildlife noted. The place was fairly clean but easily could have been better. The floors looked clean but after walking around the appartment with bare feet our feet were almost totally black. I mentioned this to the management people but got no reply. We even took a picture of my daughter's feet after about an hour without shoes on their floor.

Perfect slice of paradise!!

We cannot wait to come back and stay longer at this perfect getaway. The houseboat is in a great location and is a fun and unique place to stay. We were not there long enough to enjoy all of the amenities so we look forward to coming back soon and staying longer. Thank you!

Beautiful, peaceful getaway

Such a beautiful gem, we can't wait to return. Sparkling clean with comfortable beds and beautiful views on the water, enjoying sunset and watching the birds at sunrise. Dolphins swam by the boat in the morning, and there's a lovely restaurant with tiki torches at the marina for drinks or dinner. We can't wait to return!

Very up to date, clean and beautiful. Very spacious three bedroom. I love that there is a restaurant/bar on site. The staff there was great, and the food was just as good. I also loved that we watched dolphins swim right out our window off and on all morning. I would definitely book here again. We stayed only one night because we were going on a cruise. I wish it was for longer.

This place is beautiful. We stayed in the 3 bedroom penthouse and it was amazing. Very clean and modern. The dolphins restaurant was very good. The atmosphere was perfect. We saw dolphins swimming right outside in the canal. It was close to the port. The pool and hot tub area was clean. It was too cool to use but we are already thinking of how we can come back.

We didn’t spend much time on property. The location was convenient for us and our itinerary. We had a clean and comfortable stay. Communication with the property manager was excellent. She was very kind and helpful giving us a little extra check out time so we could shower after the Space Coast Marathon.
