Great place for a fishing retreat

House was clean and AC worked great. The industrial ice maker outside was amazing for filling the coolers in the mornings before hopping on the boat we tied up right to the back of the house. Would definitely recommend!

Camp was nice well kept up. 1st time staying at Venice Marina arrived at night had trouble finding the Joat which is the name of camp and couldn’t get in touch with host by phone and in description said it had fish fryer at camp and wasn’t there but had plenty of other stuff we could use it was fully stocked with pots. Really should have got 5 star rating but want to be honest.

Scramble

Owner needs to do an inventory of cook ware and eating plates. Microwave oven is not working properly. Propane tanks are empty. Need grill tongues. Fish cleaning station needs a little repair.

Mark: Thank you for letting us know about the missing items in the house. We are replacing items that are missing. We have installed a new microwave at the house now. We are also making the necessary repairs to the fish cleaning station.

Great Stay!

Overall, the houseboat was clean, well maintained, and well stocked. There was three rooms. One with queen on bottom bunks, one solo room with a queen, and a large loft with two full beds. The loft and the single room had tv’s and the bunk room did not. The washer and dryer was great. There was good hot water for showers. There was a large ice machine on the front porch/dock. I opted to choose this houseboat because of all the amenities and because the pictures showed the houseboat as having two open sides for 2 boats to dock. Upon arrival, there was only the front open to docking a boat, not 2 sides. We had a friend cancel so this in the end did not pose a problem for us. We really enjoyed our stay and will look to stay again next year. Thank you so much for our great stay!!! A+
