This was a first (house boat) for us and it was fantastic! The responsiveness to questions, the amenities, the view, and the stay in general was perfect for a relaxing getaway.
My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary & had a great time. The boat is amazingly spacious, and the views (particularly the gorgeous sunsets) are lovely. Having the tiki bar nearby was a nice plus. We look forward to coming back!
We spent a relaxing, comfortable and peaceful time during our stay. Perfect location for day trips to Jacksonville and St. Augustine. The owner/management company was quick to respond with any questions or concerns. Will definitely go back!
First time using VRBO and it will NOT be my last. Customer Service and support were excellent and responsive. Boat itself was fabulous - clean, decorated very nicely and all basic ammenities were there! Beautiful sunsets, quiet evenings and peaceful mornings. Will definitely book again
Whenever we travel, we always look for unique options and our stay at this houseboat did not disappoint. The boat offers fantastic views of Doctor's lake from the living area as well as the bedroom. The houseboat's amenities lacked nothing for our stay, we are very appreciative of the fact that the Houseboat was pet friendly.We hope to stay there again.
Tony & I and CoCo Chanel enjoyed looking out over the lake.....and the birds! Location was nice and easy to get to Great restaurants and shops and stores. Went to St. Augustine and enjoyed all day there! Went to Jacksonville Beach and had lunch! Nice realxing Christmas celebration for just the three of us! I want to go back in the Summer and rent a jet ski!
Loved the views and the decor!
Even with the rain we felt cozy and comfortable.
*Might suggest adding a full length mirror.
The games were nice, as we actually played battleship
for the first time in years!
Loved the recliner and the choice of coffees & teas.
This was such a cool experience. Being right on the water with magnificent sunsets was priceless. We didn’t realize the bedroom had to be accessed from the outside, but it was worth it. Would highly recommend and we are looking forward to future stays. The boat does bob in the water sometimes, so if you’re affected by sea sickness, bring some Dramamine. It was awesome, and they accepted our well behaved fur babies.
We have never been on a houseboat before and was really looking forward to our 3 night stay. The houseboat is really nice with all amenities. The lay out is a bit funky. Bedroom is upstairs with an outside entrance. Couch downstairs is second bed, didn’t sleep on it so don’t know how comfy that would be. We lost all water, through no fault of the owners and only got to stay one night. Owners graciously refunded 2 nights money. I would book again, very close to family.
While the cold weather didn’t fully cooperate, the owner communicated with on how to turn the heat on. The accommodations were comfortable. The view was incredible. The upgrades were awesome. We hope to return to fully enjoy the water. This was a very serene and restful experience for me and my husband and our Shi Tzu.
Truly enjoyed the stay. Very relaxing and beautifully set up. I would certainly recommend this for any couple that wants to get away for a nice relaxing vacay.
Wonderfull stay! With large windows on both levels, we could enjoy the lake scenery at all times during the day and night. The home was very quiet and so stable in the water that there was little floating sensation.Excellent communication with the host, who not only answered questions promptly, but offered suggestions to improve our stay.
Very relaxing and peaceful! Everything was clean and neat. Such a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend this to everyone. I’m happy I decided to stay here as opposed to a hotel. Thanks for everything!
We had a wonderful time. Enjoyed watching the boats and fireworks. Everything we needed was there. Two cautions though, we are 76 years old and the bedroom is upstairs via a spiral staircase and the boat does rock when there is active on the water but that being said the stay was very enjoyable.
This house boat may be small but it has all the comforts of a high end hotel. We were extremely impressed. My husband said we would definitely book this place again!
It was a houseboat with great views and secluded at end of a dock.The upper level would be challenging for older folks, dogs!and overweight folks. But it was great for us.
