- "We had a great time and enjoyed staying on the houseboat! " - "Had the best weekend accommodations here. Quiet and safe . Best location in the bay. If you stay here, enjoy the water and sunset view. " - "One of the unique accommodations I had . Really enjoyed it . It was amazing and loved the whole experience. I will definitely come back and book this houseboat again . " - "This boathouse was such a unique and cool stay; it was our first time ever vacationing in one. It was within close access to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We especially loved the all around bay views on the top deck. The views are beautiful and peaceful. The inside of the boathouse was homey and comfortable. The only thing I would say is when the toilet is flushed, it does have a bit of a funky smell to it. But other than that, the experience was very enjoyable. The owner was very friendly and helpful whenever I had questions. If a make another Fort Walton trip, I'd definitely stay at this boathouse again :)"

- "This was a unique place to stay. The houseboat was clean, there were sufficient amenities (we didn't do any cooking and didn't turn on the TV), the AC kept us cool, and the bed was comfortable. As expected on a houseboat, space was more of a premium than in a condo. A restaurant, bar and donut shop are in close walking distance. Parking is free, but you should be sensitive that the marina is part of a working boat yard and don't park to obstruct traffic in and out. The toilet got numerous mentions in other reviews. Just follow the instructions on the wall. Fill the pitcher from the shower, pour in some water, close the lid and push the button. No paper or other items allowed in the toilet. The shower was a bit cool, and the plumbing needs some attention since there were small leaks from the valves. Overall we had a good and unique experience with our stay on the houseboat. Recommended for the adventuresome."

⚠️ 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.

⚠️ 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.
