Amazing getaway!!!

My daughter and I stayed on the boat for 2 nights. Tyler was very accommodating and responsive about check in times and our needs. The boat was so fun and unique. Our favorite part was sitting on the top deck and watching the other boats come in and out of the harbor. We highly recommend this option if you are looking for a different experience than a typical hotel room.

Boat Experience

We had a great experience staying on a houseboat. It was great to fall asleep on the water and feel the ocean breeze. We enjoyed the pirate feel. However, the houseboat could have been a little bit cleaner, the bathroom could have been a little more usable, and the mattress could have been a little thicker for our old bones. It was a great time!

Unique and very enjoyable!

A very unique and enjoyable experience. The location and being right on the water was wonderful with the most exquisite sunset and sunrise along with dolphins and seals at our doorstep, The location was convenient and in walking distance to many areas. There where on shore bathroom and shower facilities. Our host was awesome and met us at the property but it was a boat and similar to camping experience. We were warm and comfortable but do not expect to be staying on yacht and you won't be disappointed.

Young man, old boat.

Lots of charm on the boat. Unfortunately, not a clean environment that was also lacking in some basics. Linens for both bedding and bathing were either stained or missing. There was an overwhelming smell of incense which was not entirely unpleasant but rather, as we learned over time, was there to mask other odors. Great concept, execution was lacking.

Terrible - stay away.

Host was very unresponsive and there was a lack of communication. Host canceled on us as we were on our way there. It was my 20 year wedding anniversary and it was completely ruined. There was no attempt to try and make it right from either the host or vrbo. I hope at the very least vrbo drop this guy. Earlier in the week it was difficult to get check in/out instructions and I had a feeling something was wrong. My intuition was right. Of course I'm sure there's some bs excuse to come...
