One of a kind place
The boat was such a cool experience. Fishing in the river was very relaxing after a long day of volleyball for my son. It may have been a tight fit for our whole family, but it was perfect for the three of us that stayed.

Cute place, great price!
The houseboat was super cute and an awesome deal for the price! The boat looked exactly like it does in the pictures, so I should have noticed there isn’t a lot of space to store luggage (although we did have 4 adults and some of us overpacked 🙋‍♀️). No big deal, we made it work and it was still a very fun experience. We really enjoyed our stay and would absolutely do it again!

Do not go during spring break
I could not stay due to spring break kids partying like crazy. I took videos and sent to managers no one reached out until the next day by that time I had moved to a hotel. The wild spring break kids said they were staying there all weekend. No way was I going to allow my kids to stay somewhere where people are doing drugs and drinking feet away from us. The worst part is that I still have not received a refund and now have to jump through hoops just to get one.

Unique and Fun
What a fun and quirky place to stay. Two of my sons and I travelled to Ft. Lauderdale for a volleyball tournament. One of them is an avid fisherman so we thought this would be the perfect place to stay so he could fish when we weren't playing ball. We were not disappointed!. He fished multiple times off the deck of the houseboat and caught a variety of fish. The main bedroom is very spacious with lots of storage. The kitchen is fairly tiny but adequate for light cooking. I would not recommend this place for families with small children (toddlers) because the dock is not always level with the boat when the tide is low so there's a big step down onto the boat. Also, the walkway around the boat is very narrow. The family room is also very spacious - enough seating for at least 4. The owners were very quick to respond to any questions we had or needs that arose. We would definitely stay there again if we are ever in Ft. Lauderdale.

Loved the reto boat
Nicely redone house boat. We all loved it. The stairs / docks could be difficult for elderly people, but fine for us. Safe neighborhood.
