Loved my stay, unique experience! I’ve never been on a houseboat before and it was really lovely! It was so relaxing sitting on the porch and watching the beautiful vessels come in and out. The house boat itself was clean, bright, and well appointed. Wish I could’ve stayed more than 2 nights!

We had a great stay on this houseboat in Pensacola. The location was peaceful and scenic, with great water views, yet still convenient to town and nearby attractions. Waking up on the water and enjoying mornings and evenings on the deck was a highlight.The houseboat was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything we needed. The host was responsive and made the stay easy from start to finish. A unique and relaxing experience—we’d happily stay here again.

This place was very nice and didn't disappoint. Everything was clean and smelled good inside. None of the furniture or anything had bad smells. I am a big "smell" person and this one passes my "smell test" 100%. Everything was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our staycation. We will definitely be back and rent again.
