"The water, lights and bathroom didn’t work. Also the linen and bedding were mildewed with spots. I didn’t get to check in until like 8 pm when the check in was supposed to be 5pm. No good communication with the property management. "

Brittany was awesome and accommodating with frequent changes. We had dolphins and manatees saying hi. Caught a small grouper off the boat!"

"Loved it and will definitely choose it again if staying in the area"

"Debbie was an amazing host. Boat was super comfortable and accommodating! We sat on the back deck and watched dolphins, fish, birds, and even a manatee greeted us at dinner time! We will be back! Thank you for a great memory! "

"This property was double booked and we were therefore forced to take a much smaller houseboat. Property manager claimed that she was going to give us a partial refund however never did. Ignored several of my messages and now claims that they don’t know what I am talking about! Poor communication! "

"This is a dishonest listing. I did not end up staying here because the address was a public boat ramp and there’s no disclosure about that until you attempt to check in. "
