Surprise little adventure that our kids absolutely loved. Cozy and efficient. Good area. Police dept two blocks away. Quarter mile down River from high end shopping area. A nice change up from The typical hotel stat. We’ll come back for sure.

In August we stayed in Jason's houseboat for two nights. I was really excited about the idea of staying at the houseboat, but is was a bit of a deception. We are a family of four from Holland (Europe) and we're making a trip around Florida for two weeks. The minute we had our 4 suitcases on board, there was actually no space left for us. I obviously misinterpreted the space in the houseboat. That was a pity. The houseboat is old (I think) and it was not as clean as other (VBRO) places we stayed in. Furthermore I wondered why there were only 3 towels for us, while I made the reservation for 4 people. Checking in was really easy because of the text Jason send us a few days before. Based on our experience I would say that the houseboat is not suiteble for a family of four (older kids). The double bed was ok, but the single beds are difficult to access and therefore most suiteble for little kids. I would not recommend the houseboat for elderly, or people with mobility difficulties. For younger couples with a limited amount of luggage, it could be a nice place to stay.

Nicely redone house boat. We all loved it. The stairs / docks could be difficult for elderly people, but fine for us. Safe neighborhood.

As mentioned in another review, we checked in when it was dark. The boat was sitting in low tide and it was almost 2 feet lower than the dock. It was dangerous with many bags and not knowing this in advance. If you are older or have ANY mobility issues, don't even try this. There are steep stairs to both ends of the boat that would be very difficult to maneuver if we were older. The "craftsmanship" on the boat was cheap and a terrible DIY job. The bathroom has a weird toilet that you have to fill with water and turn on a pump and cannot flush toilet paper (gross). The shower is SOO small a grown man can hardly take a shower. The exposed steel pipes in the shower leak and their was much rust. The water was dangerously hot in the kitchen. The boat itself is poorly built with broken windows and sub-par furnishings. I had to put a towel down on the couch it was so filthy. (gross again) The floors were bellied in the middle and so the refrigerator and the stove both were uneven causing the frig to run constantly and the stove to cook unevenly. The outside of the boat had an extremely small walk-way that again, if you have any issues or are a bigger person, don't even try. The boat is docked a very short ways from the expressway and when music or motorcycles come through it is loud! The air-conditioner in the bottom of the boat was so loud you could not turn it on to sleep. We actually fixed the blinds that were literally hanging in taters on the front door when we arrived. This is just maintenance 101. The walls were very scuffed with black marks and desperately needed painting everywhere. The general vibe was a worn-out college frat house. If you were thinking this is a nice boat, rent somewhere else. I would not stay again. I would rent a yacht for the same price. There was nothing to complaint per-say to the owner about. The owner needs to take the money he is getting and invest in MAINTENANCE- Everywhere! The grounds, the boat, the parking. It could be an amazing experience, but the owner is not using the money to make the boat better. It is literally falling apart and constructed extremely poorly. The floors had large gaps and trim done by someone who did not know what they were doing. The only positive was it was bigger than a hotel room, but outside of that it was a bust. Until the above issues get repaired and properly correctly with a professional tradesman, I would not recommend this boat.

The walkway and the dock were uneven and hard to navigate. There are no railings on the outside so sitting on the "patio" was definitely out of the question. Nothing to do outside of the boat. Bathroom was not fit for 4 older women. Shower was dark and questionable if there would have been enough hot water. (We left the next morning and went to a Hotel). The toilet was difficult to manage. (Fill with water, turn on the pump until waste was gone. No TP down the toilet, put into the trash can). Concept is good if you just want to sleep there.

What a unique experience! first time on a houseboat overnight. surprising amount of space but gotta watch those stairs! Thoroughly enjoyed the stay and will be back again soon. Wonder what it would be like to live aboard full time?!

We really enjoyed it, had a nice tranquil weekend. Accommodations were very comfortable and close to the beach and shopping. We’ll stay again.

Everything was really great for us, the neighborhood wasn’t exactly what we were looking for but that’s no fault of the owner

Not a safe location I thought and the place looked terrible all around toilet overflowed and the air wasn't working right I left this property immediately I didn't stay not 1 night

The property managers were very very nice and we're on top of everything that was needed! This was our first day on a houseboat and it was a very enjoyable one The sunsets and the sun rises were amazing! Would definitely recommend

We stayed on the houseboat for our son’s 10th bday celebration. The boat was perfect. They loved being able to fish right there. It was close and convenient to everything we wanted to do while we were in town. I would recommend this property and would return!

Renting the property was smooth-no unexpected glitches or problems. I reserved on VRBO and didn’t have to worry! The houseboat was easy to access from the road, close to downtown and beaches, private, and offered an experience out of the ordinary when the wind blew one night. My two grown kids and I will remember the stay as unique/enjoyable.
