    So great to stay in this modern Houseboat with the water right there. It was well stocked and clean. The gentle rocking was only noticed if you looked for it, slept well on comfy bed with great pillows. Neighbors were all so nice and found catfish, turtles and a small gater. Enjoyed my days there.

    The houseboat was just as listed with all of the amenities needed for a great weekend stay. Really enjoyed being able to open up the windows to the deck and enjoy the great Florida weather by the water. The host was very easy to communicate with and would definitely recommend.

    The view and atmosphere are great. Locals are friendly and breakfast, lunch and dinner are all just steps away! The host is amazing and I highly recommend this listing if you are in the area.

    Town was interesting and and a good experience. But access to the houseboat is difficult for seniors.

    After a few initial issues, Jay was able to help with resolving some, soap and water took care of others. Very happy with our stay, we'll definitely be back!

    While the property was unique and beautifully appointed, I was under the impression we would be in walking distance to Riverwalk…well, wrong marina. We enjoyed the turtles and gator in the evening, and Connie’s Deli for breakfast but the nightly loud music from the venue next door and the traffic noise from the highway made it less than my hoped-for tranquil stay.

    Our stay at the marina on the Floating Boathouse was amazing. The boat was beautifully appointed and very clean!! Easy entry and great communication with the host. The boat had everything we needed. An adult group went as our friends stayed on other boats in the marina, but ours was amazing!! Will definitely book this again..

    We stayed for two nights and had an amazing stay. Easy instructions to find the location as well as entry into the boathouse. Everything was clean and bright. We had a wonderful stay.Great sleep woke up demanateese, alligators, turtles and a variety of fish. We loved the back porch to sit and relax and watch the boats. We would definitely come back for another stay or one of their other properties listed in the welcome manual that was on the counter when you arrive.
