Overall it was fine
Being the fourth of July, we had a great view of fireworks from the front of the boat. We had a fun time fishing. The boat was roomy enough for the 4 of us. We had a wonderful time.

Short stay for a group of friends before a cruise
For the most part everything was clean and easy to work with property manager especially with an issue during booking and ease of access was good. Those were the good aspects to this place. The down sides we faced is the plumbing. The toilet is very limited on useage which isnt mentioned in the posting and we questioned the use of the shower. Another thing that isnt mentioned in the post is that this property isn’t meant for 6 adults even though it that was how it was searched. It best fits 2 adults and 4 children.

First time on a houseboat.
We enjoyed our stay overall. The location was very convenient for us as we were in for a wrestling event held at the Broward County Convention Center. My husband and son enjoyed fishing off of the boat in the evenings. We will be back.

Not Sea Worthy
While the property served its purpose it is in no way a vacation destination.

We loved our stay. Sitting on the back deck watching the fish. It was very nice. Every hotel room looks the same - this was something completely different.

One of a kind place
The boat was such a cool experience. Fishing in the river was very relaxing after a long day of volleyball for my son. It may have been a tight fit for our whole family, but it was perfect for the three of us that stayed.

Cute place, great price!
The houseboat was super cute and an awesome deal for the price! The boat looked exactly like it does in the pictures, so I should have noticed there isn’t a lot of space to store luggage (although we did have 4 adults and some of us overpacked 🙋‍♀️). No big deal, we made it work and it was still a very fun experience. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely do it again!

Do not go during spring break
I could not stay due to spring break kids partying like crazy. I took videos and sent to managers no one reached out until the next day by that time I had moved to a hotel. The wild spring break kids said they were staying there all weekend. No way was I going to allow my kids to stay somewhere where people are doing drugs and drinking feet away from us. The worst part is that I still have not received a refund and now have to jump through hoops just to get one.

Unique and Fun
What a fun and quirky place to stay. Two of my sons and I travelled to Ft. Lauderdale for a volleyball tournament. One of them is an avid fisherman so we thought this would be the perfect place to stay so he could fish when we weren't playing ball. We were not disappointed!. He fished multiple times off the deck of the houseboat and caught a variety of fish. The main bedroom is very spacious with lots of storage. The kitchen is fairly tiny but adequate for light cooking. I would not recommend this place for families with small children (toddlers) because the dock is not always level with the boat when the tide is low so there's a big step down onto the boat. Also, the walkway around the boat is very narrow. The family room is also very spacious - enough seating for at least 4. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had or needs that arose. We would definitely stay there again if we are ever in Ft. Lauderdale.

So much fun, I hope I'm able to do it again someday. I didn't want to leave, wish I could stay forever. Place was super clean and close to down town.

Nicely redone house boat. We all loved it. The stairs / docks could be difficult for elderly people, but fine for us. Safe neighborhood.

Not for older women.
The walkway and the dock were uneven and hard to navigate. There are no railings on the outside so sitting on the "patio" was definitely out of the question. Nothing to do outside of the boat. Bathroom was not fit for 4 older women. Shower was dark and questionable if there would have been enough hot water. (We left the next morning and went to a Hotel). The toilet was difficult to manage. (Fill with water, turn on the pump until waste was gone. No TP down the toilet, put into the trash can). Concept is good if you just want to sleep there.
