My husband and chose this houseboat because we have stayed in a few that look like boats and wanted to see what this type is like. It was wonderful. Better views, more comfortable, no silly ladder stairs. We stayed in winter and the heat did a good job of keeping us comfortable. This is also clearly someone's real home which is a vanishing thing on airbnb and something to be treasured. They have a thriving family of tropical fish which we enjoyed watching and feeding. The bed is extremely comfortable and the kitchen well appointed. The location is slightly out of the way but the neighborhood itself is nice. We hope to stay here again.
