It was a very nice place. We enjoyed it. The only thing that we didn't care for was walking up and down the stairs. Its only one flight but we are in our 60s and 70s.
We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and inviting. Loved that we could have our pet with us. Communication with our host was wonderful! Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

The property was updated and very comfortable. Was close to plenty of beach access and great dining. There's a rental shop on the first floor offering kayaks, boat rentals, etc. Would recommend.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Boat House. The views were great and it was very quiet. A short walk across the street to the ocean. Many local restaurants, shops, and other things to do. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend the Boat House.

Khalifeh, thank you for staying with us at Caddy's Boat House. It means a lot to us that you would recommend us to others. This is really a unique place, close to everything. It has a great view of the intercoastal, it almost feels like you are on the water. You are right, it is much roomier than you would expect. Please come back soon and stay with us again.
Great location! Spacious apartment with no neighbors to worry about. Great balcony deck and numerous dolphin sightings in the intercoastal! Perfect jumping off point for enjoying the area. 2 minute walk across the street to the beach or next door for drinks at caddy’s!

I am so glad you enjoyed Caddy's Boat house, Cheri. That view from the balcony is awesome. I can only imagine sitting there and watching the world go by. You are so right that the condo is roomy and open, ready for a relaxing stay. I hope you come back again soon and stay at the Boat House again soon.
The 6 day stay we had was wonderful, minus the road travel from NJ, the VRBO has an excellent view of the intercostal waterway, seeing dolphins and manatees often. The staff downstairs at the boat rental office are great and offered much advice. Thanks for a great vacation!!

The location was great! Enjoyed the view of the boats and water from the huge balcony. The walk to the beach was not bad. The kitchen was great.. there were a few little things that should be addressed but we plan on going back for sure.. We had dinner at Villa Gallace which was AMAZING!
