3 - 3.5 totalBoat was very nice, a little cold but that's mostly down to the unusual cold snap we're in. There were plenty of heating options, but few negatives I'll list below.Hot Water - The host implied there was hot water available and gave instructions on how to fill a tub or take a shower. We tried several different faucets and the bath but were unable to get any hot water from any of the available sources. Not sure if there was some button or water heater we needed to activate, nothing was made clear.WIFI - The WIFI information sent out was inaccurate. Not a huge deal, not like we we're holding international conference calls. The TV's were all hooked up so we could receive shows just fine, we didn't spend that much time in the boat anyway.Sleeping accommodations - The primary bedroom was just a foam pad, one side of which was very worn down. My partner and I switched nights but both woke up fairly sore. There is a second bedroom which has a thicker slightly more comfortable pad, but it was also much more confined and much colder, and it rocked a bit more being in the front of the boat (yes I know...its a boat, it does that).Host unresponsive - I had a couple questions regarding some of the instructions, I also messaged about the WiFi being incorrect. I sent my first message the day before we arrived, and a final message the last day, the host failed to respond to any messages. Otherwise it was a lovely experience and stay, lots of places nearby to enjoy.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2026
Hi Joseph, I’m truly sorry about what happened during your stay. This is the home I personally live in, and when I planned to spend a few months in Mexico, I thought it would be special to share this beautiful space. It was actually the first time I made it available, and everything had been running perfectly up until then. It was very unfortunate that the water heater failed during your visit. I only wish it had happened while I was there so I could have taken care of it immediately. I’ve now replaced it, though sourcing parts for boats can sometimes be a bit of a challenge. Regarding the internet, it can occasionally act up during extreme weather, and this winter has been especially cold. As for the mattress, I personally find it comfortable, but I completely understand that comfort is subjective. To make sure future guests have the best possible experience, I’ve already ordered a new one. I truly hope you were still able to enjoy the incredible views, the convenience of the location, and the spaciousness of Oneness Polaris. Thank you again for your feedback—it really helps me improve and create an even more welcoming and enjoyable experience for future stays. Warmly, Lourdes
