Alex went above and beyond as a host! We arrived an hour late due to traffic and unprepared with boat transit. Alex ferried us to and from the houseboat with luggage, ensured we had food, and helped in seeking to secure a kayak. Also, awesome location, unique experience, and well-appointed houseboat with all amenities. Fully deserves 5 stars! Will recommend to others.
