Would rather camp in the woods in August than stay on this boat
Door does not lock making us feel unsafe
Horrible smell from the bathroom
Live Cockroaches inside the boat
Unkempt conditions
Ac that does not keep up with the FL heat
2 hours into stay were told that we need to bag our used toilet paper because the toilet clogs easily
Told all of the above to owner who replied… this is a safe area and previous renter brought their own toilet paper which backed up the toilet and messed up the macerator
It is obvious the owner does not visit the rental, his dinghy is on the verge of sinking
I am a primitive camper and I would rather stay in the woods than on this boat
Unable to check in
Host cancelled at the last minute.
Did not even inform me.
I had to call and find out when repeated messages were unanswered.
Finally at 5pm on Dec 1st, I called and was told about a gas leak, and that the property was inhabitable.
I had to scramble to find last minute accommodations at a steep price. Not fun!
Hoping for a refund of the booking soon.
Beautiful boat. Exactly the right amenities. Peaceful surroundings. Good restaurant. Excellent customer care by the host, Steve. Looking forward to a return trip!
The boat was just as described. It was comfortable and the area has lots of great fishing. I only gave a 3 star for overall rating because of the terrible sewage smell in the cabin. It was very difficult to handle.
Exactly as listed, even more spacious than anticipated. Great temp control, restaurant nearby is delicious and friendly. Super close to parks, a short ride from Marco Island, and a really fun adventure for my kids. Only one drawback is because it is a boat, tp must be disposed of in trash. Other than that you won't be disappointed. We are very happy we came here and would choose this over a standard hotel room any day!! Thanks!
A few pros and cons Fun boat weekend! Enjoyed hanging out on the top deck or seats on the back of the boat to watch fish jump and gators! Nice and quiet and nice neighbors. The bed was comfy. Also walked to the local bar/ restaurant in the hotel next door. Was interesting but fun and great staff.
Concerns....I would like to give this a higher rating except there was a few major concerns that make it so I just can't.
There were 2 floor standing AC units They both were giving of a horrific smell. It was similar to a chemical from a hair perm at a salon. We had to shut them off often to air out the boat. The smell permitted into everything we brought! Even my car smelled for 2 days from the bags being placed in there. Which is very concerning. We stayed 2 nights and could not have stayed a 3rd due to thst smell. The ac unit in the main cabin did not appear to be vented well. It did not keep it cool. Any warmer than the 83 degree FL day, we would not have been able to stay on the boat. In the day it was too hot inside as that unit didn't work well. The bad odor we from both units (We are sure it was the ac not the septic.) The unit in the bedroom would click repeatedly like it was not going to turn on...and I messaged the owner to say we would turn it off so it didn't cause a fire or anything . He just said okay. No other concern or info or offer to look at it.
These units don't seem to have dehumidifiers in tkem so the bed blanket was wet.
We did have a nice time but the smell really was a concern. Once they fix that and the carpet, (that is not securely attached to the floor), it will be a fun place for a few nights.
The boat, the marina, the entire area, and the host were all great! We were live-aboards when we were younger. It was great to relive those memories and we made many new memories on this trip. Steve, our host, was terrific to deal with.
Nice people living on boats in the same marina. Felt safe. Hotel right there with Wi-Fi, a restaurant (serving lunch and dinner) and big lobby. No place close to get breakfast though. Nice but expensive ship store right there too. Boat equipped with the essentials including an iron, small travel hairdryer, coffee maker and enough pillows. Would have liked another blanket, though. Not far from Marco Island so we liked to location. The owner communicated well with us and was responsive.
I stayed on Waves of Grace for almost 4 weeks and it was wonderful! Grace is cozy and has all the comforts a boat can provide - comfy bed, and a perfect galley for meal prep. Marina is beautiful and filled with friendly boaters. Owner was great to work with, easy check in/out process and very accommodating.
I cannot wait to return to her!
