⚠️ Please Read Before Booking – Important Info
📌 Boat living is not for everyone, and we want all our guests to have a great experience:
📌 Motion Notice: This houseboat is docked on the sound, which means it can rock gently back and forth. During bad weather or heavy rain, the movement can be more noticeable, causing the boat to sway side to side. This may not be suitable for guests prone to motion sickness or discomfort with movement.
📌 Mobility Notice: While we provide a ramp from the dock to access the houseboat, stepping on and off the boat may require a longer-than-usual step. The houseboat’s natural motion may also make this more challenging at times. Guests with hip, knee, or other mobility issues should take this into careful consideration.
📌 Use handrails with caution, especially when boarding.
📌 Think of this as a glamping experience, not a luxury hotel stay. Embrace the adventure and you`ll love it!
📌 If you are sensitive to the scent of sea water, this may not be the best fit for you.
📌 Hot water is limited — showers are simple and functional, but not luxurious.
♨️ Charcoal Grill (Shared Amenity) – Guests are welcome to use the outdoor charcoal grill. Just bring your own charcoal and enjoy!
⚠️ Please Note: While the houseboat is securely moored to the shore, it is still floating on water, which may present additional risks. By booking, guests acknowledge and accept the inherent risks of staying on a houseboat, including the potential for movement and the presence of water hazards. Caution is advised at all times.
