Great getaway
Publié le 26 oct. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe had a great time! The area was beautiful. The boat was a little older but was very comfortable. Our host Mark was helpful in guiding us about the local hotspots/discounts. Renting the dinghy was worth the extra cost and we had a great time cruising around in it exploring the area. We would definitely plan on staying again.

It takes a special breed...
Publié le 3 janv. 2024 sur HomeAwayWe had no worries...until we boarded a leaking dinghy (had to sit on the wet floor) and travel 15 minutes from the dock to the bay where the dilapidated boat was anchored. Did I mention that he charged us an EXTRA $110 for use of the dinghy?? I think our host (Mark) expected us to row ourselves and luggage a half mile to the boat...
On the boat, no running water and no electricity unless you cranked up a loud stinky generator. There was a triple layer of flooring laid out to cover holes. Dirty plates and spoons in the drawers. Mark provided us with a cooler with ice and a couple gallons of water, TP and a headlamp. We were camping. We worried about getting to and from the boat. If the motor would start. If we could see in the pitch dark. Mark told us if we sank it was only 4 feet of water...and that he explained everything CLEARLY in the description. He told us..."it takes a special breed" to stay on a boat.

These City slickers clearly had no idea about spending time on a boat, my 8 year old daughter can run the dingy with easy, I had to explain to them several times how to choke it, set the throttle to the right position, and pull it very simple! the boat is not perfect I explained in my description, as well it is clean! The generator is a brand new whisper model suitcase inverter generator that runs perfect, these girls were just simply out of their league/element and had no business being on a boat!!! The dingy had a slow leak, yes but it was a small matter to pump It up in 15 seconds, and get on with a great day of exploring - all this was explained, unfortunately this was not the scene for them probably the least communicative and worst guests we've ever had in over 1500 groups of people, hate to be negative but they're inefficiencies/ ineptness were clearly used against us in this booking!!! Hosts beware!!!! We're confident that when you look through our many many other very positive reviews, you will be able to see that these two women were the problem here, and not are property!! Thanks for your consideration of this matter, and we look forward to seeing you :-)! And a Happy new year btw!!!

The lack of care and maintenance made the boat unsafe.

Good concept but needs to up his game
Publié le 11 févr. 2023 sur HomeAwayI loved the tranquility out on the boat, we rented the dinghy from him and that was the best part of the stay, Mark was very attentive and down to earth.
I don’t know if the boat always has this problem or it was just bad timing for us. The water and electricity did not work so I could not stay as long as I would have liked. Could not cook, fridge wasn’t working. Other than that it was interesting.

Unfortunately, as I've shared with guests in the past, they need to communicate with me, if there is any kind of problem that arises. If they would have simply called me, I would have shared with them, that all you need to do is reset the GFCI on the outlet. The water supply, as mentioned to them, comes from the shower. This is non-potable water, designed for rinsing off, and doing the dishes. We do supply an ample amount of drinking water. The biggest problem with folks,that aren't used to staying on a boat at anchor, is that they A, didn't read the description thoroughly, or B, just, in general aren't used to an off the grid, type of experience as this. (Clearly stated in the description) All the pieces of the puzzle are there, people just need to figure out how to use them, or again communication, communication, communication. We've been fortunate enough over the yesrs to receive over 650, very positive reviews, which kind of says it all. Thanks for reading, and we look forward to seeing you!

Just Enough off the Grid
Publié le 2 mai 2022 sur HomeAwayBooked this for my husbands birthday get away. Fantastic time.

Sunrise/sunset on the water
Publié le 23 avr. 2022 sur HomeAwayCan’t say enough about watching the sun rise and sunset everyday on the water! Beautiful, relaxing, serene. If you want a one of a kind experience, this could be it! The boat is a 36’ carver, plenty of space, but the fly bridge is the place to be! Lots of local places to eat and have a cocktail. With that said the stay is more in line with glamping. Fewer amenities. Mark is a great host and will get back to you with any questions. Enjoy!

Best vacation ever! We spent 5 nights on the boat and it was transformative! It was so relaxing.
The title says it all "serenity at sea, leave all your worries behind" Completely true. We were fully able to experience the meaning of "Island Time" Time just doesn't seem to matter very much when you are sitting up top watching the sunset or dolphins swimming around the boat or watching sea rays jumping out of the water, or laying in bed hearing the waves lap against the hull.
If you approach this rental with an open mind and can get past the idea that you are basically camping on a boat then you will have a great time. If you are looking for a 5 star hotel, move on in your search.
Bottom line, we didn't want to leave and will definitely go back.
Pro tips: get the dinghy- going back and forth in a canoe would suck. And, as you are riding back and forth in the dinghy, check out all of the iguana's sunning themselves in the mangrove trees.

Mark was in constant communication with us the whole time to make sure we had everything we needed. I will say this trip is very fun, but as the ad says, you do need to be physically capable of moving from
dock to boat and boat to boat as needed. He even took us on a evening tour of the bay in his personal boat. Great time.

Was a place with potential was pretty area
But was poor communication said the gas was included and last all week then we had to pay for it was told once we were there to use the toilet which was a porta poti sparingly and to use the generator sparingly as well. Was told there would be an hour of bugs but had lasted all night .to get back into the community was told to call at least 20 minutes ahead of time and someone would be there we called and had to sit there for 45 minutes we were not given a code to return back in so to do excursions be prepared to base it upon what works for the owner.

The Best but not for the fancy nor faint of heart
Publié le 10 nov. 2020 sur HomeAwayYou get to stay on the water in a secluded area!!! I absolutely loved it, and it was probably one of my favorite vacations!!! :-). But it’s also camping on the water mostly without running water, and AC only through a generator that only lasts about 7 hours total before you have to put more gas in the generator. And the AC is mostly just for the sleeping area — but works perfect for that purpose so you can sleep well :-). The boat is also older and so things do break, and it’s not in the best shape — hence the cheaper price — but you have all the necessities. And the owner, Mark, was good about getting us whatever we needed :-). There is a toilet onboard. And also a “shower,” which is private and indoors, and was really just a hose connected to a big bucket of fresh water — but perfect and just what we needed to get clean at the end of the day. There’s just enough dishes/silverware/cooking ware. Mark provides a grill that runs on portable propane. There’s a free canoe, or you can pay extra for a dinghy with an engine (if it’s available — we loved using it). Thanks for a great trip, Mark! :-). Oh and there are bugs — duh, it’s Florida — there are always bugs 🤪😝... especially “camping” outside. Enjoy! But don’t enjoy too much that it gets booked up, and there’s no space for us to come back ;-).
