We had a very good New Years weekend on Michael’s house boat. Check in was pretty seamless as Michael was able to walk us through everything. The location is quiet but within walking distance to the beach and some nice restaurants/brewery etc. In the cabin has a full fridge and basic cooking amenities, nicer than most boat kitchens I’ve seen. Since the weather wasn’t great, we were able to connect my laptop to the tv and stream movies/tv pretty seamlessly
I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 because there was a pretty strong cigarette smell at the entrance into the boat cabin, however once inside the actual living space, it wasn’t that noticeable to us. We were also disappointed that the lights on the rooftop weren’t working because it was too dark to sit out slide without them.
Overall Michael’s houseboat was a fun escape from the city and gave us an exciting opportunity to spend New Years doing something unusual and unexpected. I would recommend
