Bodies of water are very therapeutic to me - thus, this houseboat was the epitome of relaxing by the water. Even though the weather wasn't the best while I stayed there, I can imagine how beautiful it must be to sit on the back deck and drink up the sunshine. There is a clear view of the marina, and the boats are fun to look at. The geese are definitely a part of the ambiance on the back deck as they swim by or up to the deck. I also enjoyed the feeling of the floating home moving on the waves from the boat wakes - it wasn't overwhelming, more so soothing gentle rolls.
The houseboat itself has great design elements, in particular I enjoyed the hand painted floors. I would advise that this houseboat is meant for those who are athletically inclined as there is a bit of a walk to the houseboat down a steepish ramp from the parking lot. In addition, the stairs could be difficult for some to maneuver, particularly to get to the bathroom in the middle of the night. However, there is an option to sleep on the futon on the main level.
Another thing to note, this houseboat is located very close to the airport. Depending on your point of view, you could either really enjoy watching planes take off or not enjoy the sounds. In particular, there was a fighter jet taking off that woke me up in a disconcerting way as it was very loud - but I assume that was a rare circumstance.
Also, the first time that I entered the codes to get to the houseboat (there are three - a gate to open into the parking lot, a gate to open to leave the parking lot, and a gate to open to get to the dock itself) there was a bit of a learning curve. But once I got it, I was good. I do understand the reason for all the gates, but I advise writing the codes down in advance (including the x) so it doesn't frustrate you upon arrival. It is definitely worth the trek once you get to the houseboat.
Overall, I loved my stay and would recommend to anyone that wants to experience staying on a houseboat! As with anything - it is what you make it.
