The houseboat was clean with a nice size living and kitchen area. Everything was provided if you wanted to grill or fry fish. The deck was spacious with chairs provided to hang out after a day of fishing while your buddies are cleaning the days catch.

Exactly what we expected. AC was cold, beds were comfortable, everything was clean and in good working order. Showers were nice and warm. We had 4 large guys staying and there was plenty of room. Any groups over 6 or so will be a little crowded. Ice machine worked great and the fish cleaning station got used a lot! Would definitely stay here again.

The property was great. The only thing that would have made it better is a cart for transporting luggage and supplies from the vehicles to the houseboat.

Joat 2 Don't plan on using grill or fish cooker or getting into upper bunks.

Two weeks prior to arrival I communicated with the property manage-- Traci McCall with IN Travel Group. Ask her very nicely to make sure grill and fish cooker were clean and ready to go. Left a message the day before arrival to verify cookers were ready. Day of arrival the grill is full of ashes and the fish cooker is full of rancid grease. It took 3 days to have grease removed from cooker. It was not cleaned and smelled awful. We had to have fish fried at marina. Only one Upper bunk bed had a ladder. Unless you are an Olympic gymnast its impossible to get in upper bunks.

The house boat was great!! There was some damage to the property, but nothing that bothered us. Only wish it came with a rolling dollies, since it was at the end of the Pier. Can't wait to book it again for our next trip!!!

Owner is missing the little things that would make this a 5 star property

No paper towels, no ladders for bunks, fish fryer was full of old grease which rendered it useless, and someone took all the ice from the ice machine the day we were out fishing……..all made for a mediocre experience.

Trip cancelled due to Ida

First off our hearts go out to all those who live in the area and are affected by Hurricane Ida. I would never want to burden the region for a fun weekend fishing trip while people are fighting to survive down there. The units have no power and un-known damage. I normally wouldn't even leave a review. But seeing how the property management has not communicated with Vrbo that both of the rented units are not accessible at this time and they sent me a survey maybe this is my only way to speak to Vrbo. We intend to re-book this trip next year, I will even try to book the same units. But under the circumstances that we were told not to come the marinas were closed to the public. I just request a refund so that I don't hold booking dates on two units that I don't know I'll use and not have to move again, until I can book with the fishing charter next year. This could cause you to miss out on other bookings and just makes good business since. Again we hope these units didn't sustain much damage and you are back on to operational status soon.
