Beautiful Getaway

My husband and I and our dog had a lovely getaway on "Julia's Arc". This was our first time on a Houseboat and it was a wonderful experience. So much light! And the movement of the boat was just enough to be comforting. The home was very clean and beautifully adorned with great attention to detail. Julia, the host, was very responsive and very generous in doing all she could to make our trip as comfortable and pleasurable as possible. The views over the water were gorgeous and we really enjoyed watching the local wildlife. The neighborhood is quiet and the small marina beach park was clean and lovely. Obviously, there are limitations to being on a boat such as limited hot water, needing to use bottled water for drinking and tooth brushing, etc., but that's the nature of any houseboat, not something the host could do anything about. Just be aware if you plan to have a larger group or do a lot of cooking, maybe a house on land would be better.:) This was a first class experience and I would highly recommend this property for a cozy and peaceful getaway.
