We had a great stay on this houseboat in Pensacola. The location was peaceful and scenic, with great water views, yet still convenient to town and nearby attractions. Waking up on the water and enjoying mornings and evenings on the deck was a highlight.The houseboat was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. The host was responsive and made the stay easy from start to finish. A unique and relaxing experience—we’d happily stay here again.

Hi Kenneth – Thank you for the 10-star ranking!!! This is a great indicator regarding your experience with us. I apologize if locating us detracted from your stay; in the “Houseboat Info” I send out prior to arrival to guests, I mention the restaurant several times as a reference point.
