Where do I start. Our Labor Day weekend at the houseboat was phenomenal. My family grew up on the water and we took 100% advantage of all the amenities the Houseboat and Newport had to offer. We brought fishing poles and fished right off the dock. We caught Scup, Black Bass and a few other species I could not identify. We brought our 19” Key West boat and parked it right at the dock. It was like having our private driveway to pull up to the houseboat, but it was on the water! We took our boat out for sunset cruises and caught stripe bass off Brenton point. There are kayaks on the dock dedicated to the guests of the houseboat. Sunsets were amazing. The houseboat was amazing. Our super host Kathy was amazing. We had family stay at the Marriot and the Wyndham Hotels that were literally right across the street. We used the houseboat as our main hub and utilized the 3 facilities for our family gathering. We took advantage of the gas grill for lunch and dinners. We gathered for breakfast at Belle’s Café. The neighbors in their beautiful yachts and sailboats were very nice. Just a tremendous / different way to spend a vacation with family. Thank you, Kathy, for your tremendous hospitality. It is a vacation we will not soon forget!
