About this property

Beachside Boat Hotel !

About this space
Enjoy this meticulously kept antique yacht all to yourself. On our docks you'll be surrounded by nature, and walking distance to everything, including the beach.

Come let the waves rock you to sleep and literally float your worries away. This stay is a lot like camping on water with a little extras like air conditioning, for example !
The space
While it's not the largest yacht, and more so a tiny yacht, the vessel still does have lots of room to offer. The nights are quiet, and the days are a little more lively with live music and patrons frequenting the marina and restaurant.

Walking distance to everything including the beach, Ron Jon surf shop, grocery stores, and more !

Time you visit right and you'll get to see how our lagoon glows with bioluminescence from June to September!
Guest access
You'll have the vessel all to yourselves. Although it is equiped with a shower and bathroom, we kindly ask folks to only use the toilet on board for emergencies and middle of the nights. The marina showers are well kept and available 24/7. We limit the usage on these utilities to offer a better all around stay for all our guests and assure cleanliness on board.

There is also more than enough parking on site.

There is a marina and restaurant on site is open daily also....so relax, you're on Island Time now ;)
Other things to note
This stay is a lot like camping on water. We host on a fleet of boats and this one is the flag ship of our fleet. It offers extras like cold air conditioning but we still limit the utilities on board to ensure everyone's stay is satisfactory. We provide linens but it's always a good idea to bring some of your own for added comfort. Water usage on board is limited and not potable too and ask that all guests bring bottled water for themselves.
Prepare for camping and you'll be more than pleased with this stay !

Terrible

I own a boat and familiar with this type of living. However, this boat had a foul odor, was filthy, and the V-berth bed mattress was wet as there was a crack covered with tape. The advertisement stated the bathroom could be used for emergencies and also in the middle of the night however the door was screwed shut. The host stated they’ve never allowed any use of the bathroom. This was a different boat than what I reserved. The marina is in a location convenient to restaurants and shopping. We ultimately stayed at the Hampton Inn and eventually got a refund. I do not recommend.

Great location for a quick stay

The location was great and easy to access. The boat itself had a pretty awful smell, a mixture of just old musty mixed with cleaner chemicals and freshener. I couldn't have stayed more than 1 night. The marina was out of toilet paper and the bathroom was a mess. My daughter thought it was a really cool experience and it was a gift for her. She loved that we could walk easily to the beach. We highly recommend Long Doggers to eat!

The property & area was very nice! Staying on a boat was great! Boat was clean! However there was a horrendous smell, like old days hair perms! We had to open the windows & stay outside to air it out! Smell got less but was still there when we left! But other then the smell it was fun!

The SMELL!

Contacted by host morning of stay & was changed to a different “better” boat. No problem. Arrived & was disappointed by look of the boat. Walked inside & the smell was weird. We noticed the toilet was wrapped in plastic & the refrigerator didn’t work. We were only there for 1 night so thought we could manage. Left for our concert & when we got back the smell was even worse! Combination sewage & diesel. We grabbed our things & got a hotel. I contacted host the next morning with no response. Contacted on Monday & he acted like he had no idea what I was talking about. After a few exchanges he directed me to VRBO if I wanted a refund.

Great experience!!

We absolutely LOVED this property!! We enjoy unique experiences, and staying on a boat seemed like a perfect fit for us. So glad that we came across this place for our Florida visit!! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend! You also can’t beat the location and convenience - the restaurant at the marina was fantastic, and the facilities were clean and easy to access. Plenty of space for our family of 4 - thank you for a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Everything was great. The bathrooms and shower are nearby and are communal so plan accordingly. The boat was cozy.
