We had a wonderful experience. It was 4th of July and even though the power went out, the owners were communicative and made sure we were accommodated. The property was perfect for our needs and our kids loved having the boat house. Will rent again if we are in the area visiting our family.

Beautiful house in a great location!

We really enjoyed our stay at The Boat House! It was the perfect space for our family - just a short drive to the beach. The neighborhood was quiet and lovely. We really loved all the outdoor space - especially the gorgeous outdoor shower. The hosts were responsive to all of our needs and went above and beyond to make our stay exceptional.

Everything from check in to check out went smoothly. The host was always available and very accommodating. The pool and the outdoor shower were amazing, the cottage was quaint and perfect for our group. The main house was gorgeous, clean and all the switches were labeled nicely. We enjoyed all the features of the house. The front porch sitting area, the fire pit, the pool, the outdoor shower, the kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed the area and would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed our stay here—the location was great and made getting around super convenient. The property itself has a lot of charm and potential, with a nice layout and cozy touches. That said, the interior felt a bit cluttered in some areas, and the cleanliness could have been more thorough. It’s also worth noting that the space might not be the best fit for families with younger kids due to the amount of decor and tighter layout in the Boat House. Still, we had a comfortable stay overall and appreciated the host’s responsiveness.

This was truly an outstanding property that accommodated my entire family. The place was amazing with above ground pool and fire pit area. The main house has an awesome beach decor with a very cool down home feeling. The secondary house has room for more occupants and has a unique setting. The hosts were truly cooperative and friendly helping all the way till our stay. The price was spot on and affordable. We highly recommend the Boathouse for your Beach stay as it was fairly close to the beach!!!
