Great boat-house located on the back half of the Marina; was perfect for the group of 4 of us to enjoy our weekend of guided fishing! Plenty of bed space, full kitchen, ice cold A/C, and back patio for enjoying the weather. 2nd day of fishing our guides picked us up straight from the house! Our host ensured that we had everything we needed. Overall a fantastic experience and great location - highly recommend!
