Host allowed us to check in earlier and was very helpful trying to rectify any issues we had. Location was great. The houseboat was definitely in need of some TLC though and had seen better days!

Great experience. Fantastic location. But as the host says, you are not living in a house. So have an open mind.

Great location

First of all, it's a boat. Some people may not understand the compromises that entials, but for those that do, this is a great place to stay. The location was over-the-top fabuluous and we caught nice fish right off the fantail.

Paradise Found

I cannot say enough good things about this adventure! Check-in was the easiest ever. Beautiful and peaceful area with friendly people. The boat was clean and comfy and well stocked. Incredible sunrise and be able to walk out in the morning and start fishing was an added bonus! Best sleep in ages. We will definitely be back!

Houseboat with a view

Nice. Loud Friday & Saturday nite with band and music at restaurant next door. Super convenient location. This is a houseboat, with small spaces for 2 toilets, and old school pumps… For father and adult son weekend trip this was fun.

Yvonne was wonderful and made our family vacation on the boat feel effortless from start to finish. The boat was very well stocked with all the necessities—coffee, towels, and everything we needed to be comfortable. The location is absolutely prime, close to almost everything, which made getting around easy. We also loved the live music from Guanabanas next door; it added to the atmosphere and never interfered with bedtime. I did see a comment about the age of the boat, and while it isn’t brand new, it was cozy, well cared for, and clearly loved. Yvonne is constantly updating it and adding new touches, which really shows. We’d happily stay again.

Perfect get away!

Yvonne’s houseboat was well appointed with many convenient features - good shades for privacy and sun control, localized fans for cooling and very comfortable beds and sheets. We loved her kayak and listening to the live music coming from nearby Guanabanas. What you need to understand is this is a boat and has boat plumbing - with all that it entails.

A perfect family or couples getaway if you are looking for something out of the ordinary. The location is perfect with everything you need in walking distance including the beautiful beach. We caught so many fish right off the boat my son was in his glory. Exploring on the kayaks was an additional plus. My husband and I loved the vintage Floridian charm of the boat. The master bedroom has the most comfortable bed and the couch was equally cozy. Yvonna was an amazing host extremely accessible, helpful and funny to boot! READ THE GUEST MANUAL! Something we should have done before asking unnecessary questions.!lol Now we know our way around this lovely house boat and can’t wait for our next stay! If you’re looking for a chill, low key and fun experience this is it!

Jupiter house boat

Views great.. very very convenient to walk to restaurants.deli etc. Could be updated ..less clutter..BIG BED AND COMFY....2nd bedroom misleading its a crawl space none of my visitors would stay there. A rather large person would have trouble walking on the narrow side of boat for entry or to go to the LOVELY decks. I had to leave early due to no cems bugs..I was bitten alive..and possible smell on boat..A C and fan works GREAT but boat does get very hot in the afternoon.. needs better direction re: television....It was an experience..like camping on the water...if you don't get bit by bugs easily ..this maybe your place...

Pat had an unusual stay. This is house boat, not a house and not a motel/hotel. It is unique in design and charming character. The AC works fine. It is South Florida. You may need the AC on and or the fans. Typically there is a soft breeze on the water. Most guests keep the windows open. As for bugs... you are on the water! No seums come out at dusk. There is replent should you need it. April 10th a new septic system was installed. There is no smell.

Great spot to stay for the area.

Had a really great time on the houseboat. Super relaxing and an amazing location. Only bad thing I can think of was the AC in the master bedroom is super loud but if you keep the bedroom door open the main AC does a good enough job to cool the place down. It was a good experience and would definitely rent again.

Beautiful scenery with peace and quiet ......boat living is different from home

This property is located in a wonderful location with lots of activities, food in walking distance....the view from the boat is so peaceful and beautiful with water on 3 sides. The property is in need of some upgrading ....the bath and bedrooms are typical of a smaller boat and therefore small. Living , dining and kitchen space was very comfortable........Owners were very accomodating ......
