Great Trip and Location!

We were a large group (10) of guys looking for a spot for a duck hunting trip and this place was perfect! Great location, perfect space for cooking / hanging out and all the room we needed. Cory was in contact early and often. He even went out of his way to come fix the heat when a break switched on us (even after we assured him we’d be okay without it). Overall this place was awesome and we’ll be back for sure

Great location - lots of room.

The houseboat is located two minutes walk to the marina/gas/fish station and main restaurant. The charterboats pick you up right at the back of the houseboat. There’s every amenity you need. We had a few issues, like any place would go, but the host was incredibly responsive, and took care of everything immediately. If for no other reason, we would recommend this houseboat because of the host. Great place and great location.

Terrific Tug Boat Stay

It was perfect for our group. The house boat was extremely clean and had plenty of amenities to make it feel like home. Plenty of bedrooms to choose from and fresh clean hot water. We were there on a fishing trip and the boats docked at the rear of the boat to pick up and drop off. The fish cleaning station was perfect and saved us a lot of time from going to the marina to clean the fish. Lastly, eating burgers and tuna cooked on the Green Egg and watching the sunset was a great ending to the trip.

Perfect Location!

Went on a group fishing trip for my FIL’s 60th birthday and this was the perfect place for us to stay. The weather was perfect so we spent almost the whole time (outside of the 10 hour fishing charter) outside at the bar area. Almost all of the pictures are completely accurate for what you will get, with the exception of the outdoor area. It’s even BETTER in person. Charters also pick you up from the dock, so we didn’t have to drive one bit. Only negatives were no Wi-Fi and spotty air conditioning in the upstairs unit (only 2 bedrooms). In the grand scheme of things on a fishing trip, those are very minor inconveniences. Having perfect weather and great fishing, this place was the ultimate icing on top of the cake!
