Relaxing, Great Views
Very comfortable and clean property. Was easy to feel right at home. My trip got cut short and the rental management company was wonderful and very understanding. Look forward to returning in the future.

Wonderful!
This houseboat was so clean and comfortable, better than expected! We loved sitting on the screened in porch and also the sundeck upstairs. It was great to watch the boats coming and going and the gorgeous sunrises/sunsets. Thank you for the care and attention to details given to this place! We will definitely be back and hopefully able to stay longer.

Snapper crew
Love the location and the house. Well stocked for guest and cute layout. My only complaint would be the shower size. I get it that it’s a house boat shower just super small. I would still rent again
