SO WORTH IT!!!
From the moment we stepped on board, we were greeted with a sense of luxury and elegance. The yacht itself was absolutely stunning, with spacious cabins that provided the perfect blend of comfort and style. And let's not forget about the views from the deck! It was like having our own private oasis on the water. But what truly set this experience apart was the exceptional hospitality of the host. They were incredibly kind and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. From recommending the best local spots to ensuring our needs were met, they truly made us feel like VIP guests. It's rare to find such genuine warmth and care in a host, and it made our stay even more memorable. The amenities on the yacht were top-notch. We had access to all the modern conveniences we could ask for, from a fully-equipped kitchen to a cozy living area. It was like having a home away from home, but with the added bonus of being surrounded by the beauty of the ocean. Overall, I can't recommend this VRBO yacht rental enough. It's not just a place to stay, but a complete experience that will leave you feeling pampered and rejuvenated. So if you're looking for a truly unforgettable getaway, don't hesitate to book this yacht. You won't be disappointed! ⚓️💫

If you’re looking for a different and unique Vrbo stay, this is the one! The distribution was spot on! Elizabeth met us at the marine and showed us all the amenities the marina offers and there are many! Walked us through the yacht explaining everything. This place checked all the boxes, plus! We’re hoping the return! Book it!!
