First time sleeping on a boat!
This was our first time spending the night on a sailboat! The weather was awful but assisted in rocking us to sleep. Looking forward to another stay in nicer weather so we could enjoy the marina and outdoor areas of boat as well. Thank you!

Unique overnight
My family was looking for somewhere to stay the night before Thanksgiving as we were coming in from out of town just for the day. Although we are boat people, we have never stayed on a sailboat so figured we would give it a go. The marina it turned out was actually attached to the venue where we were married 16yrs ago. So it was a nice surprise. The boat is older and has a few maintenance needs. As it was we arrived after dark so we had some confusion on the interior lights but managed all the same. Everyone slept well & the marina facilities were great for showering. The views even in the cold & rain (raining when we arrived) were soothing.

Disappointed
Beautiful boat. Water didn’t work . AC was not sufficient. Toilet leaked. Bed was not made upon arrival. Beer bottles were in trash can in kitchen area when we arrived. Dirty dish in sink upon arrival. We explained this to the owner. She was extremely nice, however offered no reimbursement or discount, instead she attempted to justify all complaints .

Too Hot for comfort
Just prior to arrival we received an email letting us know that the water was broke and someone would be by in the morning with water. When we arrived it was easy enough to find the boat. When we got on board and went down below it was 90+ degrees with the portable AC they had installed. We contacted the owners and started working on solutions for the problem with them. We put the covers over the sky lights which had been left off, we closed the cabin area and kitchen area off from the aft and went out to explore to see if it would catch up. When we returned it was 90 degrees. After some conversations with the owner we decided to stick it out for one night and see if the AC could catch up. We went to dinner and a walk on the Boardwalk. Got back and it was down to 88 degrees and even hotter in the bedroom area. We adjusted the unit so it would blow into the bed area a little more and moved fans around. We didn’t sleep that much that night. When we got up at 6:30 it was 85 degrees after all night with the AC running. After a discussion between ourselves we decided we had made a good try of it but didn’t see it getting any better. We let the owner know we were leaving. The boat has some issues that don’t seem to be being taken care of. The owner makes the comment that it is an older boat and it will be more like camping in the email you get just before arrival. We asked for a refund for the one night but nothing back from the owners.

Gorgeous relaxation
Sunrise at the beach and sunsets on the deck of the boat. If you are looking to unplug and relax this is perfect. The boat is charming, the Marina is pretty calm and we slept great. Several dog-friendly beaches in the area. Great hosts as well! We will definitely be back. Would love to do a fall/winter stay. Highly recommend.

Such unique accommodations
We had a great stay that will be talked about for years. We arrived after dark which made navigating the marina and getting settled a challenge. However, communication from the host, prior to our arrival, made it easier! Chrysan was very hepful throughout our stay. Even answering questions about parking at the beach. Our family of 5, 2 adults, 2 teens and 1 preteen fit well. The Marina bathrooms are just a minute away and there is a small public beach just behind the marina. The older boat with original fixtures made this a very cool experience.

Fun way to stay close to the beach!
My family of 3 plus our dog comfortably enjoyed our stay! Everything was clean and commucation with Chrysan was exceptional! We have a 50 pound dog so that was a little tricky getting her in and out for the cabin. I didn't think that through when we decided to bring her! I just mention that in case anyone has an bigger dog that you'd need to carry down the ladder. This was such a fun way to experience boat life close to the beach. Thank you for having us!

Great experience
I took my sons to the beach for a much needed get away. I wanted to give them a different experience than normal and this fir perfectly. They were super excited. Everything was nice and tidy. However the bathroom didnt work. Not a big deal since the marina was just a short walk away. Wifi didnt work either unfortunately, wasnt a big deal however since thats exactly what i wanted - a break from phones. Beds were clean. Plenty of blankets, but we couldnt find towels (we didnt bring our own since i saw they were provided) but we made do. Overall the experience was great. We all loved it.
