Recent Notice: “We enjoyed our stay on René and Carissa’s boat. They had left us an assortment of beers, wine and water in the fridge. It was very comfortable to relax on the deck enjoying a conversation and a drink. The air conditioning in the cabin was wonderful as our first few days were quite hot! The cabin even had enough headroom for my 6’3 “son to stand up! Although there are some cooking facilities (3 burners and a microwave) on board, it is better to plan to eat outside as the preparation space is quite limited. We had great breakfast sandwiches right at the marina deli. The pool was spacious and clean, but we didn’t use it. The wharf was very quiet and the people were friendly. The park across the street is a great place to relax, walk, run, etc. – Magnificent. We had a great time on our 2 hour night cruise, it was a highlight! We had no problem parking on the street when we couldn’t stay in the marina parking lot. This was our first Airbnb experience and we decided to try something different than what a hotel would offer and it was awesome! “
