You won't be disappointed with this newly renovated house boat at Venice Marina. This humble abode contains everything you will need to have an amazing trip to Venice, from leather relining sofas to an outside freezer for bait or fish storage.

The houseboat can sleep 8 people comfortably with 2 queen beds (bunked) and 4 XL twin beds (bunked). The bed frames are hand made from solid wood, ensuring your safety and comfort. Every bed is furnished with new memory foam mattresses to ensurea good night's sleep after a great day of fishing. Linens, pillows, and comforters are all provided. There are two separate AC units for the houseboat, so you will never have to break a sweat while staying at McHooves'.

The kitchen contains brand new stainless steel appliances complimented by new cabinetry. All the amenities of home will be right at your finger tips - oven/stove, refrigerator & freezer, microwave, coffee maker, dishwasher, kitchen utensils and silverware, stocked knife butcher block, and more!

The house boat contains 2 separate bathrooms to ensure there is never a line for the bathroom after a long day. The. half bath was a new addition from the previous owner. The full bath contains a full size shower, toilet, vanity, along with a stackable washer dryer (incase you forgot to pack enough clothes, we understand). The hot water heater is tankless, so cold showers are a thing of the past for the last few in the shower queue.

There are two couches accompanied by a large coffee table and side table. The couches are reclining sofas for maximum comfort when you unwind for the day. A TV was a must, so no one ever has to miss an LSU or Saints game. (All fans are welcome at McHooves' though).

The house boat provides ample outdoor space with a front and back porch. The front porch contains an ice machine, a propane grill and a fish cleaning table. Don't forget to park your boat right out front the house boat or simply ask your charter to pick you up at the front door! The back porch is currently open for all actives. A large empty dock to drink some beverages and hang out, or simply use for storage, the options are endless.

Our goal is for you to feel at home and enjoy your trip to Venice. We'd love to see you back next time!

    Came in on Sunday for a week fishing trip we do every year. First time staying on house boat in Venice Marina but won’t be the last. Property was clean and comfy with instant hot water and nice beds. Docking the boat up to the front of the house made leaving and returning from fishing an excellent experience and the filet table out back was great as well. The only negative was that the ice machine was gone as the owner had taken it for repairs Called the owner about the ice machine and he immediately stepped up and said he would reimburse me for all my ice which he did by Zelle after we checked out. Overall a great stay and we will be back next year.

    A/C worked good. Refrigerator had not been cleaned. Had to get Vrbo to connect the host to get check in information. Didn't get it until almost 5 o'clock. It was suppose to have a ice machine and it did not. Would not rent again.

    Host was non responsive. Details on how to gain access was sent very last minute and then no more communication at all. The listing showed an icemaker, washer and dryer, grill among other things, there is no ice maker at all. We spent well over 150 in ice over the course of our stay. The washer and dryer seemed to not be functional as parts were missing. The grill is a rusty mess we didn’t even attempt to use. The AC in the front area worked well but the bedroom stayed hot and it wasn’t even that hot outside. There were 3 of us and the inside was comfortable for the amount of people we had. The place needed a good cleaning but for a guys fishing trip was ok. The location was good, on the outside of the houseboats. It’s a hike to the boat house but we just put all our stuff in our boat and pulled up to the front door.

    First off there was no ice machine which was a main reason for selecting this property to rent. Then there was faulty wiring that was throwing sparks.

    Overall houseboat is okay. Ice machine has been broken for awhile. Dock cart for hauling your gear has 4 flat tire and is useless . Otherwise decent place to stay and affordable priced. It’s a pretty small space but does have two bathrooms !

    Spent 4 nights with my two friends. Lodge was very clean. Kitchen had all the amenities. No table to eat on but we had plenty of TV trays. Our fishing guide picked us up right at the front door. Will definitely stay here again.

    Place was very good for a nice fishing trip. Had a couple issues, the cleaner forgot to come by the day before, but the owner fixed that quickly and the cart to carry all your things to and from the car had flat tires. Overall a good pick for our trip.
