Perfect unique getaway!
I took my three daughters on a girls weekend trip and wanted to do something different… This houseboat was perfect! Not only did it have every amenity we could need, but the rooftop was spectacular, the home was modern and efficient, and Brian was an amazing host!

Wonderful stay!
Everything was wonderful - the boat was just as described, even wit a few extra touches that meant a lot - snacks, water bottles, shampoo/conditioner, plenty of hangers, and the SUPER clean, just to name a few!
We would love to stay again! Thank you so much!

Two Night Stay: Wished for More
This is only my second rental/stay through Vrbo or any other one like it. The host, Brian, was there right after selecting this and days after and right before and during and after via text/email within seconds no matter what day or time. The FloHom was beyond my expectations. Two bedrooms and two baths the place was much larger and comfortable than I saw in pictures online. My 10-year-old daughter was amazed of the place and atmosphere. She wanted to know if schools were in Baltimore so we could move in. LOL. It was Fleet Week in Baltimore that we didn't know and being surrounded by Naval Ships and seeing them fly over with their jets were great on the roof deck. Everything in the home was beautiful with no damage/wear and tear anywhere. My spouse and daughter will be back again either at the FloHom 2 we stayed or one of their other four! We love Baltimore. Baltimore STRONG.

We had the best time staying at this property. What a location! Gorgeous and private! The boat is stunning, immaculate, and well appointed. The beds are amazing. Brian was a wonderful host and helped us through a minor glitch with the lockbox with dedicated speed. The supplemental information is unparalleled! Stay here!

Like a nest
Perched on the furthest point of the marina you will feel like you are safely in a nest - especially on the roof top deck. The views of water birds, ships, sailboats and kayaks will entertain and relax you for hours. Feeling hungry? The marina has three great choices all with lovely views too. A great place to relax and recharge. The wonderful memories far outweigh the money spent. So worth it!

Gorgeous Private Hideaway
Brian and his team have built a once-in-a-lifetime experience in the heart of Baltimore, but also somehow off-the-grid. Rooftop was great for small group entertaining, all the windows let in tons of sun and views of water, downtown. We're already hoping it's available next year!
