About this property

Floating In Paradise On The Azul Project

  • About this space
    Float with Us To Save the Water & Save the World! The Azul Project concept was created in 2010 by James Douglas as an effort to bring awareness to the importance of Conserving Water! In 2018, we thought how else could you get closer to the concept of water's significance then by floating on it, near Atlantic Ocean Beaches, & calling it your home away from home! Float with us while remaining plugged into your own personal WiFi!
    The space
    This space adopted a Hawksbill Bale - Travel with Purpose when you stay with us and assist in global efforts to help save this beautiful endangered species! The Azul Project, a 2004 44' Gibson Houseboat!
    Soak up the sunshine or stay tucked inside cuddled up with your favorite book and enjoy the North Carolina fresh salty air!
    The Aft Master Stateroom has a Vanity, Dresser Storage, adjoining bath with electric head (toilet) and sink! (NOTE: Shower onboard is not for use. Just steps away from boat are two showers located in Marina building next to laundry room. There are also several other showers with regular indoor plumbing located in the Clubhouse that you have access to during your stay. These spaces are maintained by the Marina and not your host.)
    Also, on board is a well equipped kitchen with refrigerator and freezer (bring your own ice), microwave, pantry, double sink, 3-burner range & dining area! You will notice oven in picture but it is NOT an offered amenity.
    Located in the Salon is a sofa with Roku Smart TV, DVD player with several DVDs and AM/FM radio! Note - cable/satellite not provided.

    Carpet on stairs and LVT flooring throughout the rest of the boat!
    Lots of outdoor decking! NOTE - No outdoor shade coverage due to high winds that can creep up on us in the OBX and could cause a safety issue.
    Guest access
    Full access of the boat and all its noted amenities with the exception of the ability to drive boat! Able to park car for free in parking lot...just steps away from boat!

    OPTIONAL - Stand up paddle boards rental for your use at your own risk - paddles and life vests provided! Location is close by in Nags Head. Ask your host to arrange for this extra amenity during your stay!

    Discounts to local businesses included with your reservation!
    Other things to note
    The houseboat is floating at a slip where tide fluctuates - therefore you may have to step down or up to enter the boat.
    Please remember this is a boat and therefore water pressure is different then what you may be used to with the indoor plumbing in your home! As mentioned earlier you have access to several full bathrooms with private showers with hot water. Hot water does not flow on the boat sinks!
    Split type ductless system provides Heat & AC on boat.
    Please ask your host if pool is open during your stay, if the pool is important to you, as it is maintained by the Marina and not your host.
    Please bring your own beach/recreational towels.
    One bath towel and wash cloth provided per person.
