Very pleasing
Check in process was effortless. Stay was comfortable. Needs a minor facelift. Some modern or updated furniture. Needs minor handyman services, all in all very satisfied
Alenn, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It was nice staying in a houseboat versus a hotel room while visiting Ft Walton. The amenities and condition were as advertised. It gave us more of an overall feel and atmosphere of being on the beach. There was a pretty loud band in the restaurant nearby who played well into the night.
Steven, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommended
Thank you for accommodating me last minute after a long driving . Glad I was able to witness the best sunset that really relaxed me . The bed was comfortable and was able to sleep like a baby. Best accommodation and will be back for sure. Will recommend this to friends and family .

older and very compact as one might expect, but in windy conditions hard to maintain your balance. stairs to upper deck was dangerous in the windy (normal) conditions. pics looked much better than "the real deal"
