We really enjoyed our stay on the Green Turtle. Our only complaint was that the bed was super soft, kind of like a giant marshmallow. Otherwise everything else was great. We especially enjoyed the breakfast treats. The cinnamon muffins were delicious.

Loved the houseboat experience; this was a good fit for us (though we always prefer a firmer bed - but that is our issue); Jon & Sherrie were very helpful.
