The back porch of the Southern Comfort overlooking the river is one of the most peaceful places in the world to me. This was my second stay here, with an old friend, and my husband and I have already booked a weekend in October to celebrate our anniversary.
We enjoy walking around the town checking out all the little shops or driving up the coast for the afternoon but my favorites are sunrise on the porch, watching the pelicans fly up river and waving or speaking to people in the boats.
On that porch we feel like we've literally (although temporarily) turned our backs toward the cares of this world to focus rather on things that are true and lovely and peaceful. This makes everything else worthwhile.
Oh, yes, the houseboat itself is perfect too! Thanks, Karen, for all the effort it takes to maintain it so beautifully.
