Worst experience of our life

I like to be a positive person, after reading mixed reviews on this place we booked it thinking it would be different and fun. It was different alright, as we pull up to the boat to check in (1 hour late mind you) and after receiving all the messages on what to do, Wi-Fi code, door code etc. we are looking at the boat in the day time (deceiving vrbo Pictures, taken at night so you can't see what the boat looks like in the light, classic) The door to the boat was wide open, someone was inside tearing up all of the flooring (The handyman informs us that our booking has been canceled we never received txt, email, or call from the host either) we call the host and it goes straight to voicemail. Keep in mind were staying here for a wedding and I am the best man now with no place for me and my girlfriend to stay, she was in tears. Also, the marina where this boat is located at is very dark at nighttime. The only light in the whole entire marina was the blue lights on this boat. The street where this marina is located don't even have any streetlights. It did not feel safe to even leave our valuables there. and I'm sure something bad would have happened, like tripping and falling in the dark getting on and off the boat at night. Overall, it was a terrible experience and I wish the host would have canceled 24-48 hours ahead of time so I could find another place to stay since everything was booked up that week and we planned this 2 months ahead of time.

Unpleasant experience

VRBO pictures do not accurately show the condition of the boat. Peeling varnish, gaps in flooring, it was cooler and couldn't get the heating unit to work. Spoke to a person who rented a houseboat 2 slips away which was newer, larger and much better condition for almost $200/day less. Other houseboats are available at the same marina for much less. Have recent pictures if anyone would like to see.

Fun stay by the water

We really enjoyed our stay despite the somewhat close quarters. The boat is nicely kept up and it’s a beautiful location. We saw a manatee and watched the fish off the back. The rooms are teeny but that’s to be expected and we managed to fit five adults without a problem. The host was very nice and even left a welcome bottle of wine.

cozy boat stay

Host was easy to communicate with. The door lock was broken, but the surroundings felt safe and peaceful. Parking stall was right in front of the boat, so we just locked our belongings in our car. There were also some board games that were provided in the boat, so we were able to play with the kids. Host left us a bottle of wine, which was a nice gesture too help us parents unwind a little bit. Overall, it was a great experience for the family.
