We get that this is a houseboat and the idea of it was fun, but this place needs a full clean down….lots of mold around the windows and on the deck, had a very musty odor!

Awesome place! Such a cool way to book a hotel. The only thing I would change is just that when someone reserved the houseboat…whoever is texting the tenant could let them know which dock spot it’s in at the time. I accidentally stepped onto a similar boat and the people staying there were like HEY WHAT ARE YOU DOING and I said IM SO SORRY I GOT THE WRONG BOAT WHERE IS THE EMERALD COAST 😂 Other than that…everything is great! Will definitely be renting this houseboat or other houseboats again!

This was a unique place to stay. The houseboat was clean, there were sufficient amenities (we didn't do any cooking and didn't turn on the TV), the AC kept us cool, and the bed was comfortable. As expected on a houseboat, space was more of a premium than in a condo. A restaurant, bar and donut shop are in close walking distance. Parking is free, but you should be sensitive that the marina is part of a working boat yard and don't park to obstruct traffic in and out. The toilet got numerous mentions in other reviews. Just follow the instructions on the wall. Fill the pitcher from the shower, pour in some water, close the lid and push the button. No paper or other items allowed in the toilet. The shower was a bit cool, and the plumbing needs some attention since there were small leaks from the valves. Overall we had a good and unique experience with our stay on the houseboat. Recommended for the adventuresome.

We literally didn’t leave the boat . Great place to getaway . You can just walk to the tiki bar that serves great food. Enjoy the sun on upper deck and don’t miss the sunset. Clean, comfy , quiet and very safe. It was very memorable experience on the boat. It rocks!!

The property was unique, a houseboat. It is an old houseboat. It was clean and comfortable. I have been on boats before so I knew what to expect. However, someone who has not been on a small boat before might find the experience somewhat disappointing. A light should be placed where they have the entry lock. If you go out at night or arrive at night it is kind of challenging trying to get the lock open, where you stand on the deck is very narrow the railing is low. The window covering need to be replaced, they are old and in some cases have holes in them. More instructions are needed regarding the no paper in toilet but in the basket as to disposal of the basket waste. The air conditioning/heating unit was noisy and not practical. Overall, I was a happy camper. Joe Thomas

Was an awesome unique stay. The kids loved staying on the boat & the kids room underneath is a very cool little hideaway.

The whole ambience was comforting - quiet and safe. This was last minute one night stay booking- wish could have been longer. It was good.
