Other Details to Note

Dingy is not part of the rental. Remember - nature around the water includes spiders - they will often weave their webs at night on the outside railings. They are easy to Knock down in the morning and are just part of living on the water! Due to freezing temperatures in the winter months the marina will winterize the hoses and therefore water onboard will be limited to the toilet use only. Running water is accessible in the bathhouses located off the restaurant just steps away from the boat!

Gia was such a wonderful host and we had a blast on her houseboat! From being flexible with our stay dates to super early check in, she was just amazingly accommodating. The space itself is so fun and different! Being right on Charles was so convenient and the staff there was wonderful as well. Not to mention the best views ever from the boat. If you are thinking about booking, just do it!!!!

Gia is such a great host. Communicated from beginning to end. She even let us know we could check in way earlier than put check in time which was a big plus for us. The place is such a great getaway from couples. We enjoyed our time. Having the restaurant Charly’s close by and having mini to do are a great plus in that area. FYI. If you plan to do SUPs, I highly suggest scheduling ahead of time through the website.
