If you are a boat or paddle sports enthusiast, then the location can't be beat. We launched our paddleboard right from the front deck of the house and enjoyed sunset and morning paddles on the St. Lawrence River around Heart Island with fantastic views of Boldt Castle.The house is on a floating dock so the exterior will have a rough marina store feel, but the inside is very well kept and beautifully decorated in a nautical theme. It is very clean and has everything you need for a long stay but we only stayed one night. The beds are very comfortable and there is good hot water and good water pressure. We had trouble starting the shower and messaged the host who responded within minutes. Turns out we did not pull on the knob hard enough. The faucets are old style but that adds to the unique feel and charm of staying on a floating house. We felt like we were staying on a luxury yacht from a bygone era.We were worried that it would be noisy near the marina but we barely heard the boats at all and our kids loved watching them and waving as they puttered by.The landscape is nice too with small rock ledges surrounded by grass for the kids to climb and play on. Just watch out for goose droppings. The pool was clean and the bonfire was a nice touch. Truly a good spot to stay with the family for a 1000 Islands vacation. This is not a Waldorf Astoria resort by any means, but it provides a unique river experience and has all the trappings of a fun family vacation.
