First off I want to say that Heidi was a great host. She met me at the boat to make sure that I had everything I needed. But I didn’t know at the time of booking was this house but was practically brand new which was a pleasant surprise. I had a wonderful stay and slept like a baby as the house slightly floats back-and-forth on the dock. Every bedroom room has its own TV,fan/light and lighted headboard. There are 2 bathrooms 1 even has a full tub that I took a nice hot bath in. The water runs a little slower on a boat, which can be expected, but I never thought I’d be doing that on a boat. It was great. There’s also a washer dryer combo to do your laundry in one shot. It has a full fridge, dishwasher, oven, microwave, and coffee maker. The air-conditioning was at a nice 73 the entire time it felt great. You can fish right off the back deck and the sun deck up top is huge, with a nice sitting area. You could even bring cornhole because is so big up there and have plenty of room to play. Heidi also has a book with all the area info that you could need including restaurants and excursions. Luckily, you can rent jet, skis, kayaks, do a deep sea fishing charters, a sunset snorkel, or even a catamaran snorkeling trip all within steps of the boat. The old Tavern near restaurant is fantastic and Heidi was right. The pizza is one of the best in all of South Florida. They have much higher-end dishes there too that are fantastic. I will definitely return. Thx, Heidi. mywalksinparadise
