Easy walk to town and a couple of restaurants really close including very good seafood place (get the boom boom shrimp appetizer) right on Lake Monroe. Nice mix of restaurants and galleries in town, and enjoyed renting bikes to see historic district neighborhoods. We were there on Mon, Tues, Wed and very quiet at the marina. Wildlife viewing off the rear deck was outstanding; a manatee right near the house boat, lots of osprey and turtles. The boat interior has comfortable furnishings and bathroom setup is same as small apartment (i.e. not cramped like a typical boat, no pumping toilet...). There are bugs at night, none biting like mosquitos, but we expected that comes with being on the water. We would definitely rent again.
