Our family of four plus a few friends stayed on the Big Dog for my daughter's Sweet 16, and had a fabulous time. The boat is pretty much exactly like the photos. I think "luxury" is overstating it - it is a houseboat, not the Ritz. But it is very nice. It's clean, comfortable and modernized. The roof top deck is everything. We stayed at the dock, which made it essentially like an extremely-water-front rental property. We used the tiny adorable diving board to jump in the water, paddled kayaks and SUPs and swam. I was worried that boat traffic from the marina would be an issue, but on a Saturday in August we saw maybe 6 boats go by during the day, and all of them were extremely slow, no wake, very safe. The tide does come in and out and you can feel it for sure, so I recommend swimming there for confident swimmers, not little kids. We saw tons of egrets and herons, and two seals right off the boat - pretty cool! Wi-Fi was spotty, which was fine by us, but just something to be aware of. The kitchen is well equipped and the oven was spotless- I may have been the first person to ever use it. At night the kids lounged on the roof and watched shooting stars while we adults enjoyed a glass of wine on the lower deck. The rooftop fridge could use a deep clean, but that was the only thing we felt was a little grungy, and honestly the only semi-negative I can think of. BYO shower products, fyi. Friendly, helpful host. Overall, great stay!
