May 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Memorial Day Weekend 05.2023 The boat was very nice and plenty of room for 2 couples. Great location to Charleston. Staff was very nice and receptive when we alerted them to a few issues. The boat does need some overall maintenance and should be checked a little closer before renting to be proactive rather than reactive. There is no way to lock the boat as a previous client had broken it at least 6 months before. Apparently it is not an easy fix to replace the lock and new door is ordered (8 month delay?) but there needs to be something done in the interim to enable the customers to lock the boat and their belongings when they leave. We were not informed of this in advance! The boat only has 1 full bath in which to shower and 1 half bath though advertised as 2 full baths. Worked ok for us but maybe not for everyone. Beds were pretty comfortable overall but Queen-size bed advertising in both bedrooms is questionable. The porthole in the ceiling above the front bedroom leaked due to the torrential downpour during the weekend. Staff was very accommodating and covered from the outside with plastic and sand bags BUT it needs to be fixed correctly now that they know the problem exists. Little issues like door knobs on bathroom door, tv not working in one bedroom, light not working in one bedroom, remotes needing batteries....As mentioned before, the boat is a nice size and concept is GREAT and would rent it again but it needs some tender loving care. ##### Kim J. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, location, listing accuracy Disliked: Communication #### Ladies getaway Overall, we did enjoy this unique adventure. Location was awesome, but for 3 "senior" ladies, it was a bit challenging. Long, HOT (summer in the South) walk to boat, but carts were provided. Checkin was good but other communication was poor. The main cabin door is difficult to open & close & does not lock. Amenities ok, but main shower head did not work in master. We ended up sponge bathing for 2 nights .. Message to host was neveranswered. There are MANY steps throughout as this boat has several levels on deck as well as the cabin. AC worked fine but the bathrooms were always damp & towels never dried. Beds & sofa were comfortable & plenty of linens & towels. There were really no instructions for TV & we could never figure out the WIFI, but we were ok with that. We did enjoy the sunset, dolphins & birds from the top deck. The boat is old & dated but pretty clean. Definitely needs work. The two front windows had no coverage so the morning sun comes in strong & quickly heats up the room. Could not sit at the dining table as it is in full sun all morning. It is a beautiful setting & might be good for younger people & small families. Our main concern was all the steps & fortunately, we did not hurt ourselves. The marina itself is very nice & it was pretty quiet. I can see how people would want to go back but with the layout of this yacht, we would not. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa H.

Sep 28, 2024 Disliked: Communication, listing accuracy #### Fun accommodations with challenges We received a call from someone other then I think the owner. The listing said we would be greeted at checkin if it was before 9pm to go over the use of the boat. This would have been super helpful to navigate a number of issues with the property. We arrived around 7 and was only given directions to the boat. It took a day to find the actual FOB for the parking gate as it was not in the tray with the other key like items. Which we never figured out what they were for. The second bathroom faucet did not work. Faucet handle in working bathroom comes off. Never was able to use the TV's. Many of the lights did not work. Texted several questions for assistance and only half were replied. Refrigerator did not get cold enough until the last day. Had to keep creamer for coffee in freezer. Overall a fun place but in desperate need of some repairs. I did see many people had noted the same issues, it is unfortunate they have not addressed them. ##### Tammy B.

It was great to have two bedrooms and bathrooms, plus common space. The staff was very responsive, flexible, and helpful. I spent one afternoon on the back deck, sipping iced coffee and watching the dolphin pod on the other side of the dock. We also went out with Redfin for a fishing charter, which was excellent, Highly recommend. Would add Gogibop to the list of easily walkable restaurants. ##### Cheri P.

Jul 29, 2024 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, listing accuracy #### Time to tow to junkyard I will still attempt to get all of my funds returned. But I will state that RedFin did refund a majority that we paid minus the money that goes to VRBO. The photos listed on their site must be from 20 years ago because they are NOTHING like what you actually see. I was even told after our stay - this was being towed to the yard. Then to boot we lost partial electrical on Friday night for over 17 hours which took out the fridge, tv & many outlets. They did send someone to look at it - to no avail. All of the food we purchased was ruined in the fridge which proved more trouble for myself as I'm on special foods due to a precancerous condition in my stomach. Initially the contact with the management was fine - but as more problems occurred - I seemed to frustrate the management. I'd post pictures ... The entry door can be next to impossible to open. About 75% of the light bulbs don't work The outside is so dirty and looks uncared for The sand bags and tarp on the bow are less than desirable to look at or look through when you're below. The interior is dirty There's openings that shouldn't be visible as there are obviously panels missing. The master bath shower handle shouldn't come off. The master bath sink faucet sprays everywhere. The canopies enclosures are all broken and visually an eye sore. The wet bar is useless. The fridge and freezer is disgusting The shower curtain is moldy and dirty There's hair everywhere There are broken shades in the Master bath ##### Gina G. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Gail F. Jul 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Unique get away The boat was nice but older so it needs a bit of updating. We really enjoyed the peaceful location and the view was amazing from the boat. At least half of the lights inside the boat did not work so it was very dark and difficult to see in the bedrooms, bathrooms, and over the dining area. Also, the Keurig had water left in it and it was growing green algae. The fridge needs to be replaced - bought some milk but it never cooled and the milk spoiled. Also, the description needs to warn you that this boat is a very long walk from where your car is parked, we had heat exhaustion pulling our load of luggage and supplies in the cart provided. Publix is a 2 block drive away so that was convenient. This would be a great getaway if the boat was better maintained, however we really enjoyed our trip and I think with some much needed maintenance you could book this property all summer. ##### Gail F.

The staff of Redfin Charters are also topnotch, very attentive to your needs and willing to assist at all times. Now, for the boat, classified as a luxury yacht, which i do not believe it is. The bost is old and had multiple isses, for example: the vinyl on the upper deck could be cleaned of stains, no working power on the outside besides lighting, outside sink broken, lights in main cabin were out, door to second bathroom broken, no running water in second bathroom, carpet floor always felt damp, air conditioner went out while there and had to repeatedly flip switch in breaker box. They did address that issue immediately but basically had to divert power throughout boat to keep air working, thus leaving us with one working outlet...ended up with coffee maker in the bedroom. With all that being said, I would stay there again if they assured me that aĺl the issues have been fixed, that is how much we loved the view and appreciated their professionalism. ##### john s.

We had a great stay on the Dolce Vita. Would definitely choose this over a hotel for any future visits. Plenty of room for a family of 4. Beautiful views/sunsets and a good location. Watched a pod of dolphins swimming around the yachts which was a bonus to the stay. And Tanner, with Red Fin Charters, was a great host. Thanks! ##### Deborah R.

We had such a great weekend on the water and really enjoyed having the accesbility to downtown Charleston but also valued being somewhat tucked away from everything. ##### Shelley S.
