"Our stay was very relaxing. The houseboat is great and it's very pleasant to spend time right on the water. The marina where the houseboat is moored has been newly built and offers a great infrastructure. The marina is quite remote, the next larger town Karlshagen is about 9 km away. Peenemünde is approx. 2.5 km away, but doesn't offer that much."
