Beautiful Getaway
My husband and I and our dog had a lovely getaway on "Julia's Arc". This was our first time on a Houseboat and it was a wonderful experience. So much light! And the movement of the boat was just enough to be comforting. The home was very clean and beautifully adorned with great attention to detail. Julia, the host, was very responsive and very generous in doing all she could to make our trip as comfortable and pleasurable as possible. The views over the water were gorgeous and we really enjoyed watching the local wildlife. The neighborhood is quiet and the small marina beach park was clean and lovely. Obviously, there are limitations to being on a boat such as limited hot water, needing to use bottled water for drinking and tooth brushing, etc., but that's the nature of any houseboat, not something the host could do anything about. Just be aware if you plan to have a larger group or do a lot of cooking, maybe a house on land would be better.:) This was a first class experience and I would highly recommend this property for a cozy and peaceful getaway.

Slept like a baby!
The boat house was so relaxing and just what we needed to get away and unwind. We would love to come back when it is not off season because I imagine then it is even more fun! We loved it !

Weekend Getaway
I surprised my wife with a weekend getaway. Julia's place was lovely. VRBO had some technical issue, yer she was able to provide me the check-in information. Never been on a houseboat. The place is beautifully decorated and she still had some Valentines themed items out. Which made our romantic weekend even more special. Breathtaking sunsets. Definitely coming back in the warmer season. You should definitely consider coming to Julia's Arc. Thanks for letting us enjoy your place.

Quite peaceful and gently rolling.
Very clean and quiet place. This was a great place to get my “mid” off the yard for some time to decompress. The only note I would make is that the second bedroom with the “double sofa bed” is really more suited for little people. This would be a little small for 6 full sized adults.
