Very unique, first time staying on a boat vs condo/hotel. There was a smell in the yacht, maybe chemical? Decorated nice but not much of a view.

Amazing unique stay in St Augustine! The beds were super comfy! The location was so convenient and the boat was well equipped! The waters in the fridge were a lifesaver on check in. Would recommend this stay 100% and plan to come back!!

The boat is of a fairly old vintage, clean and properly represented. Low ceilings and steep steps might pose an issue for guests with mobility restrictions.

Great stay! We go to st aug regularly to visit family. Wanted something near downtown and the Funshine came up. Was a first time exp for my girlfriend and had been yrs since I stayed on a boat. Absolutely loved it! Had the pleasure of meeting our host as well. He was extremely helpful and provided some good insights into the boating life. All around awesome and a much needed change for us .

We absolutely loved our stay! The property was clean, comfortable, spacious, and full of unique character. It was the perfect place to slow down, recharge, and enjoy a peaceful getaway near the water. The host was welcoming, responsive, and made the entire experience easy from beginning to end.The kitchen had everything we needed, the sleeping space was comfortable, and the thoughtful details made the property feel special rather than like an ordinary hotel stay. The hot water gets wonderfully hot, which was perfect after spending time outside. The sunrise and sunset were absolutely epic and made our stay even more memorable. Waking up to those views and ending the day watching the sky change colors was unforgettable.This was such a fun and romantic little adventure, and we would gladly stay here again. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, relaxing, and surprisingly spacious place to stay!
