The host was welcoming, and answered questions quickly. the boat was clean, all amenities worked and were clean. The location was perfect for our visit, its close to attractions and public transit but just off the path enough to be relaxing and not in the middle of the night life. We loved this option over a hotel, apartment or condo as a fun experience and would recommend toneveryone to book the houseboat if available

We had a wonderful time. We were worried about the weather considering we went in early November, but the boat was very cozy with plenty of extra blankets and the heater worked great.We were able to walk to lots of restaurants and attractions. Loved the little kitchenette which made it possible to make our own breakfast every morning.It was such a fun experience. Highly recommend.

Staying on the houseboat was an interesting experience, it was great being rocked to sleep every night. The shower is very small with little water pressure and they don’t supply soap or shampoo, which surprised me not in a good way.

I got some much-needed rest. Thank you, Deborah and Sherry!

The booking process was easy. Checking in and out was super easy. The waves were a bit rough at times but the houseboat was so stable that the waves didn't bother me. The stay provided me with some much-needed rest. I recommend this houseboat.
