About this property

Floating In Paradise On The Azul Project

About this space
Float with Us To Save the Water & Save the World! The Azul Project concept was created in 2010 by James Douglas as an effort to bring awareness to the importance of Conserving Water! In 2018, we thought how else could you get closer to the concept of water's significance then by floating on it, near Atlantic Ocean Beaches, & calling it your home away from home! Float with us while remaining plugged into your own personal WiFi!
The space
The Azul Project, a 2004 44' Gibson Houseboat!
Soak up the sunshine or stay tucked inside cuddled up with your favorite book and enjoy the North Carolina fresh salty air!
The Aft Master Stateroom has a Vanity, Dresser Storage, adjoining bath with electric head (toilet) and sink! (NOTE: Shower onboard is not for use. Just steps away from boat are two showers located in Marina building next to laundry room. There are also several other showers with regular indoor plumbing located in the Clubhouse that you have access to during your stay. These spaces are maintained by the Marina and not your host.)
Also, on board is a well equipped kitchen with refrigerator and freezer (bring your own ice), microwave, pantry, double sink, 3-burner range & dining area! You will notice oven in picture but it is NOT an offered amenity.
Located in the Salon is a sofa with Roku Smart TV, DVD player with several DVDs and AM/FM radio! Note - cable/satellite not provided.

Carpet on stairs and LVT flooring throughout the rest of the boat!
Lots of outdoor decking! NOTE - No outdoor shade coverage due to high winds that can creep up on us in the OBX and could cause a safety issue.
Guest access
Full access of the boat and all its noted amenities with the exception of the ability to drive boat! Able to park car for free in parking lot...just steps away from boat!

OPTIONAL - Stand up paddle boards rental for your use at your own risk - paddles and life vests provided! Location is close by in Nags Head. Ask your host to arrange for this extra amenity during your stay!

Discounts to local businesses included with your reservation!
Other things to note
The houseboat is floating at a slip where tide fluctuates - therefore you may have to step down or up to enter the boat.
Please remember this is a boat and therefore water pressure is different then what you may be used to with the indoor plumbing in your home! As mentioned earlier you have access to several full bathrooms with private showers with hot water. Hot water does not flow on the boat sinks!
Split type ductless system provides Heat & AC on boat.
Please ask your host if pool is open during your stay, if the pool is important to you, as it is maintained by the Marina and not your host.
Please bring your own beach/recreational towels.
One bath towel and wash cloth provided per person.

Christmas night getaway
My sweetie and I got a chance to run away on Christmas Day and so I decided to surprise him with a night on the ocean in a boat,,, the furthest thing from our mountain farm. It was perfect!!! Roomy and tons of windows, the waves rocked us to sleep and the sunrise woke us up. I can’t wait to book again for a longer stay in the summer when I can use all the decks to take naps. Thanks for your speedy response to my questions! Love love love it❤️
Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023

About the host

Hosted by Gia Nicole Palacorolla

Host profile image
HELLO There! I moved to the OBX from Ellicott City, MD in 2013. I studied Human Nutrition, Foods & Exercise with an emphasis in Exercise & Health Promotion at Virginia Tech & put that knowledge to work on a daily basis as a Pilates Instructor at the only classical Pilates Studio in the OBX, The Presidio of Pilates! In addition to my education, my love for business & entrepreneurial spirit led me to Hosting! I CoHost multiple spaces in locations throughout the United States and as a Professional Referrer of hosting I take great joy in teaching folks how to start their own business hosting by themselves or with assistance. I have taught a course at the local church - The Path To Financial Freedom! I LOVE to TRAVEL - so reach out if you would like me to teach a course in YOUR home town in the US or Internationally!

Why they chose this property

Friendly, happy, positive and on beach time! Marina located in the Manteo, you are a short stroll/bike ride away from concert venue, history center, award winning restaurants, shopping, Nags Head public beach, etc!!

Manteo may seem like a typical North Carolina coastal town, but the area is as rich in attractions and fun as it is local history. The area is home to one of the world's greatest mysteries, the birthplace of English colonization in American, (literally), and a collection of Outer Banks attractions that have wowed vacationers for generations.

A visit to Manteo, whether it's for a day or for a week, can be a veritable visit back in time with historical attractions like the Roanoke Island Festival Park, the Island Farm or the Elizabethan Gardens setting the scene of a bygone era. For vacationers more interested in modern fare, the downtown offers blocks of homegrown boutiques, book shops, gift stores, and some of the region's most celebrated restaurants, all located conveniently in one downtown stretch adjacent to the bustling but beautiful Manteo waterfront.
