Chesapeake Houseboat Getaway on Kent Island, Maryland

Just perfect for a 4 night stay.

Absolutely Lovely, Julia was very sweet and the home had everything you could have thought of or forgotten to bring.

We had a wonderful weekend stay! House had everything we needed and it was such a cool experience to be on the water. Everything was very clean.

The houseboat was an absolute dream. We loved everything about it and really enjoyed our two night stay. Julia has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable. It was immaculate, well stocked and all the decor was beautiful. We would love to come back.

Julia was fantastic! We came with 6 ladies for a surprise bachelorette weekend. She even gave us recommendations for super fun local venues and restaurants accounting for what was closed in the ‘off-season’. I don’t think there can be an off-season here. Everyone was so friendly and helpful with getting us the easiest access. Super nice neighbors and laborers working on the nearby boats. Also, the bathroom is even better- pocket doors between the shower and commode with a sink in each. Pictures don’t do it justice!Thank you for an amazing stay, Julia!

This was a terrific experience. The house boat was extremely clean and well taken care of. The host was proactive with terrific communication. She was upfront with the care and expectations of the stay. It was well stocked, perfect for cooking and enjoying the views from the boat. We are already looking at the available dates to return.

5 stars

Wonderful stay. The houseboat had everything you could want. Hopefully we'll be back soon

It was magical walking up to the water each morning. It was cold outside but so cozy inside. And the host was outstanding very accommodating and friendly.

We had the best time staying on this houseboat! It was the perfect spot for our girls trip — clean, spacious, and stocked with everything we needed. The amenities were fantastic, and the location couldn’t have been better — close to everything but still peaceful and relaxing on the water. The grill wasnt as close as we hoped for the weather. The host was great and made everything easy from start to finish. We’d absolutely stay here again!

We had a lovely stay. thank you.

Very nice-very bright-peaceful location-nice place to walk the dog and get a beautiful view of the Chesapeake Bay.Bigger than what I thought-nice shower and loved the glassed in porch-with patio screen doors for a nice breeze The owner was very accommodating. Overall 5 stars.

Julia’s Arc offered a SUPERIOR experience.. extremely clean, well appointed kitchen, comfortable bed, great location, and ON the water! The owner even texted to ask if everything was OK!! We hope to repeat our stay at Julia’s Arc…..

Wondering experience. Thank you.

We enjoyed our stay on the houseboat. We had privacy but were also close to the Kentmorr Restaurant and Bar and had drinks there on night. Plenty of space for the two of us. We didn’t use the kitchen but it was well equipped. We also had drinks on the rooftop both nights which was nice.

We couldn't have been more pleased with the comfort, decor, location, and amenities! Loved celebrating our 17th anniversary here! Thank you!

Great couple of days! Great location we will be back next year for our annual trip to Kent Island. Clean, quiet, and close to everything we do!

I really enjoyed my stay. It's obvious Julia thought about all the little things when stocking the boat. Everything is very clean and modern. The sunroom was great to watch the marinas working boats come and go with fisherman and day sailers as well as observing the sea birds and ducks hanging out by the boats.

We stayed with our two teens for something different and a break between sightseeing in DC and NY. The two vanity areas and divided bathroom (sliding door between toilet and shower, each with a sink) were helpful for a family of four. The host was very helpful. Fun stay!

Unique place to stay! Very quiet and relaxing. Perfect for a girls trip on the 4th of July.

If you are looking for a unique housing experience I strongly recommend a stay at this boathouse in Kentmoor Marina. The houseboat is as described with one bedroom having a double bed and the second a single fold out bed. The multiple purpose great room contains a double sofa sleeper that was comfortable. The kitchen is equipped with all the amenities one would need to include a dishwasher. Spent 5 days onboard enjoying Kent Island and Annapolis. You can bike, golf, fish walk or run the trails. The restaurants offered exceptionally fresh fish and delicious crab oe crab cakes. It’s perfect for a couple to unwind from life in the city.

Houseboat was a charming different type of place to stay.

It was a great trip! The house was exactly as described and the tiki bar was perfect. The private beach was actually private and it was very peaceful

We loved it. Great location and a great experience. Host was awesome

First time on a houseboat, very relaxing, enjoyed our stay.

Quite charming and cute. 25gal hot water had me worried with 5 people, but it worked out fine. Really cute space and rooftop deck was great for coffee and a good book.

Staying at sea without ever leaving the marina. This special getaway had everything we needed for the weekend and afforded us an unexpectedly relaxing stay. Julia's Arc is surprisingly spacious and cozy and was a pleasant place for us to hang out in for our weekend on Kent Island. Looking forward to a future stay when we're in the area.

Rainy weather limited activities but would return to property

Such a cute and unique place to stay. Very peaceful.

Our weekend stay at Julia’s Arc was truly the perfect weekend!!! The location is perfect and the boat is so clean, cozy, beautifully decorated, and generously stocked. We felt so calm and happy during our whole stay. The top deck is a perfect spot to have a cup of coffee or watch the sunset. Plus, the host, Julia was so accommodating and sweet. We really hope to go back soon!

We had an amazing time

Great location, close to the beach and restaurant. Cozy and comfortable, with a beautiful view of sunset.

We had a wonderful stay on this luxurious houseboat! Clean, comfortable & fun and Julia is an excellent host. We highly recommend Julia's Arc!

We loved our stay. It was particularly nice to get away from all the hustle and bustle of the Sailboat Show. The unit was well-equipped and comfortable. We loved the upper deck! In fact, we had morning coffee, on day, and watched 2 eagles in a nearby tree.

Julia was so nice and I absolutely loved my time on her house boat. I was sad to leave! It was so quiet and comfy and relaxing and the Kentmorr is so close that you could walk right over anytime you wanted. Cant wait to return!

We loved our stay at Julia’s Arc! The houseboat was absolutely lovely - even better than the pictures showed. Julia was communicative and thoughtful throughout - she’s a great host! The location is nice - it’s in a marina, so it’s safe if there is bad weather. There’s a beach there and a restaurant in the marina. Be warned though - everything in the area closes early. We tried to get dinner around 9pm and absolutely nothing was open (we wound up ordering pizza which was very good). Annapolis is a short drive away and it’s always a great visit, especially if you’re a sailor like me. If you’re looking for something a little different for a vacation stay, consider Julia’s Arc. We’re glad we did!!

Julia’s house boat was beautifully unique and provided a clean and relaxing touch down spot for checking out the bay area.

Host very easy to work with and what ended up to be a gifted stay for a couple rather than a girls weekend away was much appreciated. Would recommend this property and would stay there again.

B- temperatures were in the upper 90s, so the air conditioning had a hard time keeping up. Bed linens can use an upgrade.cozy and quiet
