Best way to experience inner harbor

Staying on the boat was amazing! The views were endless from the top deck and the inside of the boat felt like staying at a 5 star hotel. Brian was super attentive and responsive throughout the check-in process and our entire stay. The boat was near several fun things to do as well, between the museums, restaurants and getting around town was a breeze thanks to the water taxis. Can't wait to stay on another Flohom!

Amazing Houseboat with spectacular views

The best rental experience we’ve ever had. This amazing houseboat is very beautiful with bountiful windows that give you spectacular views of the Harbour. Exceptionally clean with great amenities and very elegant sheets. The nighttime and morning views are special and make you not want to leave. Well appointed kitchen and beautiful bathroom with a great walkin shower! Highly recommend this beautiful houseboat and can’t wait to return on a future trip to Baltimore! Great service and communication also from the Flohom team.

Best Vacation Home Ever

PERFECT house to enjoy the inner harbor. Even though it is as close as you can get to the heart of Baltimore, the houseboat location on the water is quieter than a downtown apartment - quiet enough to spend every evening watching the sunset over the city from the rooftop deck, enjoying your own snacks and light meals. My wife and teenage kids were delighted with this surprise location on our summer vacation! We've stayed in vacation homes in many locations, and this tops them all for the unique experience and quiet marina surroundings. I'll be looking for houseboats now for future vacations, and also might add marina life to the list of possible future retirement plans.

Best Location and View in Town

A weekend on this houseboat made it easy to understand why Baltimore enjoys the nickname 'Charm City'! I recently stayed on board with my wife and two sons while visiting a friend on Federal Hill. The views were incredible and the location was unbeatable. We had easy access to the Inner Harbor and an abundance of local attractions, to say nothing of our front row seats to the Chinese Dragon Boat races. Brian was super helpful and the boat was immaculate and graciously outfitted...we are already trying to figure out how quickly we can make a return visit. There is no better way to experience Baltimore at its very best!

No words!

FLOHOM 1 was above and beyond what we expected! It was so well appointed. The smallest thing, like the soaps and lotions to the top notch kitchen amenities. Even a completely full drawer of organic spices. The boat was like staying in a 5 star hotel but surrounded by wate, starry nights, cool breezes and Lucerne bedding to boot. Definitely will be looking for another FLOHOM when we travel again!

The positives; unique environment, super comfortable bed, quiet, and convection microwave worked well to bake cinnamon rolls because there was no oven. The negatives: the marine toilet and “Navy Showers” were less than desirable, and it was a challenge getting Uber and Uber Eats at times because of the location.

Kathleen, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at FLOHOM 1 | Bay Escape. We love hearing what resonated with you, and we're so glad the one-of-a-kind surroundings, the quiet of the water, and that incredibly comfortable bed made for a stay worth remembering. We also have to say, baking cinnamon rolls in the convection microwave is exactly the kind of resourceful, cozy moment we hope guests discover while settling into life on the water. We appreciate your candor regarding the marine toilet and the more compact shower experience. These are inherent aspects of floating home living, and while they lend authenticity to the experience, we completely understand they can take some adjustment, especially for first-time guests. Your feedback is genuinely helpful as we continue refining how we set expectations and enhance comfort on board. Regarding the occasional difficulty with rideshare and delivery access, our waterfront location is part of what makes the escape feel so removed from the everyday, though we hear you that it can come with some logistical trade-offs. We hope the moments of stillness, comfort, and something warm from the oven made it all worthwhile. We'd love to welcome you back aboard, and hope the next visit feels even more like second nature. Warm regards, The FLOHOM Crew
