'Visiting from Oregon, fun quiet relaxing stay'

'Friendly host and unique location'

'Such a fun trip. The Blue Ocean Yacht Charters staff were all great people. The Captain and 1st mate were with us for our 10 hour charter and they were both fantastic. Knowledgeable and extremely accommodating for our group of 8. Highly recommend Blue Ocean Yacht Charters'

'The house boat was as described, very clean and well outfitted. We enjoyed the time very much.'

'There is nothing like living on the water - so relaxing and peaceful. Dinghy worked out well. We saw several manatee and had a dolphin show a couple days which was awesome. What you should know - you are in a bay with THIRTY other boats surrounded by mangrove bushes so you cannot see the ocean. You cannot put toilet paper in the toilet and are to take your trash to a “public” trash can. To get to the back sun deck you have to go outside and go up a ladder and down a ladder OR climb over the...

'I booked this boat as a getaway for a group of friends, and I'll be honest, we almost didn't stay. The disappointment upon arrival was immediate.The boat is far older in person than the listing photos suggest. Visible rusting covers much of the exterior, and some of the outdoor furniture is worn past its prime. Inside, the living room chairs are discolored from years of use. The main living area and kitchen were the most comfortable spaces on the boat, and I'll give credit where it's due, those...

'First the good. It is a relatively new place and everything looks just like it does in the pictures. The upper deck was enjoyable in the morning and evenings. Everything was clean and well kept. Now for the bad1. The slip numbers are not visible by driving by you need to get out a walk up to the power box to find the slip numbers. No sign on the property to tell you that you are there. 2. The steps into the boat are very steep and narrow and there is no light at night to illuminate the steps. At...

'So great to stay in this modern Houseboat with the water right there. It was well stocked and clean. The gentle rocking was only noticed if you looked for it, slept well on comfy bed with great pillows. Neighbors were all so nice and found catfish, turtles and a small gater. Enjoyed my days there. '

'We have stayed in many VRBO vacation rentals. This booking was among our favorite. 5 stars for the cleaning service-the houseboat was immaculate. The setting at the marina was incredible and the location/walking distance to historic area was ideal. Thank you for such a well kept property. We'd love to return!'

'I don't regret staying here.. but I don't know that I'd do it again unless some things were different. The closet is not usable as a place to put any sizable luggage so we had to put ours in the entry. A better way to do their AC/dehumidifier setup is needed; it is both in the closet and outside of it on one end and the other its just there. I don't know much about boats; however, I would think there should be a solution that could be done similarly to RVs where they have ceiling mount...
