My husband booked this for us last night for Valentines Day, we tried several times to call and message to let them know when we would arrive and had a few more questions, after many attempts we didn’t even go as you have to call them to get the key and they never answered or replied to us. This is non-refundable so we didn’t go and we have lost our money. After seeing the first review I’m not sure why this is offered on any site.

Nightmare! A sinking boat that is anchored in bay. Bilge pump kicks on every few minutes to pump the water out. It is disgusting! Wouldn’t take off shoes. 1st toilet full of pee, 2nd toilet full of poop and pee. This was because there was NO RUNNING WATER on the boat and this was because the battery that runs the water pump was dead. Host lied next day said it was because she forgot to tell me to turn some knob- If that were the case, Leo, the repair guy would have done that instead of trying to find a charged battery. You have to take a shuttle boat from ramp to boat which was not a problem but would have been nice if that was a little more clear in the description. The “outdoor parking” is the boat ramp parking lot that has zero lighting and is posted “no parking between sunset and sunrise”. The “heat” does not give off heat unless standing right in front of it. I woke up at 4 AM and could see my breath. There was nasty “water” in the vacuum cleaner leaking out onto the floor. I am only covering the safety issues, forget comfort. I promise I was trying to have the best attitude and thought it would be something fun and different. Offered to let me take a shower at the host’s house 2 miles away but at that point I was done. Brittney the host denied me a refund, even though I could not stay there the second night-no water. No on site dining, boat does not run, no way to lock yourself in, sleeps 2, and SO much more! Sleep in your car. Leo was a gentleman stuck in middle.
