We had the best time staying on this houseboat! It was the perfect spot for our girls trip â clean, spacious, and stocked with everything we needed. The amenities were fantastic, and the location couldnât have been better â close to everything but still peaceful and relaxing on the water. The grill wasnt as close as we hoped for the weather. The host was great and made everything easy from start to finish. Weâd absolutely stay here again!
Juliaâs Arc offered a SUPERIOR experience.. extremely clean, well appointed kitchen, comfortable bed, great location, and ON the water! The owner even texted to ask if everything was OK!! We hope to repeat our stay at Juliaâs ArcâŠ..
Very nice-very bright-peaceful location-nice place to walk the dog and get a beautiful view of the Chesapeake Bay.Bigger than what I thought-nice shower and loved the glassed in porch-with patio screen doors for a nice breeze The owner was very accommodating. Overall 5 stars.
We enjoyed our stay on the houseboat. We had privacy but were also close to the Kentmorr Restaurant and Bar and had drinks there on night. Plenty of space for the two of us. We didnât use the kitchen but it was well equipped. We also had drinks on the rooftop both nights which was nice.
I really enjoyed my stay. It's obvious Julia thought about all the little things when stocking the boat. Everything is very clean and modern. The sunroom was great to watch the marinas working boats come and go with fisherman and day sailers as well as observing the sea birds and ducks hanging out by the boats.
We stayed with our two teens for something different and a break between sightseeing in DC and NY. The two vanity areas and divided bathroom (sliding door between toilet and shower, each with a sink) were helpful for a family of four. The host was very helpful. Fun stay!
Staying at sea without ever leaving the marina. This special getaway had everything we needed for the weekend and afforded us an unexpectedly relaxing stay. Julia's Arc is surprisingly spacious and cozy and was a pleasant place for us to hang out in for our weekend on Kent Island. Looking forward to a future stay when we're in the area.
Quite charming and cute. 25gal hot water had me worried with 5 people, but it worked out fine. Really cute space and rooftop deck was great for coffee and a good book.
Our weekend stay at Juliaâs Arc was truly the perfect weekend!!! The location is perfect and the boat is so clean, cozy, beautifully decorated, and generously stocked. We felt so calm and happy during our whole stay. The top deck is a perfect spot to have a cup of coffee or watch the sunset. Plus, the host, Julia was so accommodating and sweet. We really hope to go back soon!
I am a Covid 19 retired Pediatric ER physician living my second career. I love the water and have spent many miles sailing in the Bay and all over the world. My daughter and grandsons live in Easton, MD. I am trying to leave them with at least a little legacy and not burden them in my old age. So I am creating equity by renting out my home and this vacation home when Iâm not there. I have to admit it was a fun creative project to renovate this boat and I love sharing it with my guests.
It has been decorated to reflect the uniqueness of the Mid and Eastern Shore of Maryland. I like to call it Nautical Farmhouse. The marina has many fishing charter boats and a water front restaurant. It also has its own private beach.
