"My husband and I stayed here for 7 nights and had a wonderful time. Many great restaurants within walking distance and very cute town. The houseboat is clean and updated. Has everything for cooking meals in too. The bed is very comfortable. Our favorite place was the top deck. We sat up there every evening to enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Mallory was always responsive to messages and made a great video to show how to find the houseboat and use everything inside. It was a unique experience...

"From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with a sense of luxury and elegance. The yacht itself was absolutely stunning, with spacious cabins that provided the perfect blend of comfort and style. And let's not forget about the views from the deck! It was like having our own private oasis on the water. But what truly set this experience apart was the exceptional hospitality of the host. They were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. From...

"This place was fantastic! Would recommend and come back 10/10! Although I would say this place is not for everyone; if you’re easy going this place is perfect! You really can’t ask for much when staying literally on the water but I would say this place has everything you need to survive and have a good time! My girlfriend and I are boat regulars and will be recommending this this place to anyone looking for a nice, clean and different experience! Thanks to the owners! "
