Southern Belle Found Lacking
The AC did not work in the front master bedroom, could not sleep in that room. No instructions were given to turn the water on outside of the houseboat. No WIFi previous guestbook indicated WIFi had not been operable for their stay as well. No WIFI meant our cell phones were is SOS with no way to reach family or in event of emergency. No WIFI meant the TV was also inoperable. The toilet seats were loose, the towels were in bad shape, the rug was filthy. and there were dead flies and bugs inside the property.

We really enjoyed our stay on the houseboat. Watching the sunset from the water was a beautiful and relaxing experience, and the entire trip made for a peaceful getaway. Our host was very responsive and helpful, answering any questions we had quickly. Highly recommend!
