This was such a great find! Unique and unforgettable, plus more affordable than any stay on the water or with water view.
I will say, it is a walk and requires the ability to step onto a boat. It was more like camping so be aware of that. There is electricity but no running water utilities unless you walk back to the communal buildings, which were very clean and even had a nice pool. It was a very quiet stay, with exception of being near the airport so you do hear some flight noises from time to time. I had the concern it would be too cold, but with the extra blankets we felt great even leaving the door open to see the stars and sea in November. There was a small heater if we needed which gave me peace of mind too. It is definitely a small space, enough standing room for 1-2 people, with lots of boat top seating. The bed was very comfortable and had clean sheets. The boat is used/older and that shows but I didn’t feel that take away from the experience at all. Jesse was a great host, very easy to communicate with and made some great recommendations. He really had us feel welcome and taken care of. It looked like quite a walk to little Italy, though so so beautiful, but another marina close by had a deli that was delicious for breakfast and lunch options.
Overall this felt so intimate, peaceful, and fun! It had me consider buying myself a houseboat. You’d definitely want to check your expectations before coming, as it really is like camping, and we just absolutely loved it. Can’t beat the price for the experience. We’d love to come back!!
