Stay aboard the eco-friendly two-story 63 ft River Queen with a 360 degree view with beautiful sunrises and sets, mored 1/8 mi offshore in a quite harbor close to shopping center, movie theater, hospital, bars & restaurants. A 10-foot dinghy with small outboard to come & go from shore ONLY, nowhere else.
I also offer Personal Training, deep tissue work & Life Coach sessions.
I live on the vessel about a hundred yards from you so if there are any questions, etc.
I will bethere to assist you.
The space
63 ft. two-story Eco Friendly River Queen vessel mored off shore in a protected Harbor with a 360-degree rotating View.
It's equipped with solar panels & a wind generator.
There's a 10 ft dinghy to get to & from Shore ONLY, nowhere else. It's a stable vessel so there's no rocking and rolling . The sunrise &
sets are beautiful.
Enjoy your journey.
Guest access
Youll have access to the whole vessel which has a downstairs, upstairs & a rooftop.
Only two people allowed on the boat, No exceptions.
Other things to note
I have a rain water system that supplies the vessel & I ask that there is conservation of water. So when taking shower Please use it sparingly.
(I may have to come over and put my gutter hoses into my water tank if it begins raining but I will not disturb you as I will not have to come inside)
You can see the bathroom & shower on my photos.
IMPORTANT, While running the generator, the downstairs front windows have to be open and if they are closed due to cold weather or rain make sure you close the upstairs back sliding glass doors so it doesn't create a backdraft to bring the fumes into the boat.
If you have any other questions please ask.
Only two people allowed on the boat, No exceptions
Thanks.

Additional rules
Only TWO people allowed on the boat due to insurance policies, dinghy size, freshwater supply & blackwater tank and that means No visitors.
Please do dishes and keep the vessel clean. No loud music. Thanks, enjoy

    Kelly is a great host. This location is so peaceful and relaxing. Loved watching the sunsets on the boat. Very spacious for 2 people. There are also kayaks if you’re adventurous

    My wife and I had a fabulous week on the boat. I would highly recommend spending a week on Kelly’s boat. The description of the amenities is accurate and I would add that you will have a lifetime of memories to cherish. This is not like staying in a condominium where you look out at the water. You are staying on the water.

    If you are looking for something different and more of an experience for your stay, this house boat is something to consider. You have to take a dingy (very stable) out the the boat, a decent distance offshore, but everything worked great and was easy to operate. We brought groceries with us and there is a nice kitchen area and refrigerator that worked well for us. The stay on the boat was a nice getaway if you are looking for some solitude and quietness. Plenty of space on the boat to hang out and relax. The top sundeck is a great place to watch sunrises and sunsets. Bed was comfortable enough, really could use some new/additional bed pillows. We considered buying some but it was late in our stay when we decided this. Other thing needing a renewal was the futon upstairs was unusable for either of us with how uncomfortable it was. A couple of these creature comforts were lacking but these were the only really negatives we had. Overall, you are getting a lot more space and a more unique experience than staying at a motel, and it comes at a similar price point. We had a very nice stay, and would consider staying again.

    We enjoyed our stay. We are avid campers and love to be outdoors. It was camping on the water with beautiful views right out our window. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. A couple of encounters with dolphins. Our host was very attentive and made sure our needs were met.

    We fell far behind schedule do to holiday trafic and the owner was more then willing to help us. The boat ride to your stay is fun. You cant beat sitting on the top floor watching the sunset.
