"Excellent. I am in Florida for disaster relief. No other hotels available. The owner made sure I had a place to stay and helped with anything needed. Yes, you are staying on a boat however, they make sure you are able to get to your car at whatever time to make it to work at whatever time day or night with free overnight parking.

No approached us asking if we were waiting to be taken out to our house bot that I paid for in advance and refused a refund. We had a toddler Thea was screaming. The sand fleas were biting. We didn’t want to leave to get milk for him on account...

"The property advertised the listing as a working sail boat you could stay on. Working meaning power. The amenities listed air conditioning, a bathroom, a kitchenette, etc. With those things, we thought there would be some sort of electricity. The listing also told me to call 48 hours in advance of the arrival date to get check in instructions. I was not able to reach anyone until a few hours before arrival. I was told it was a “primitive” site. However, I was also told that there would be power...
