Superbe péniche 5 étoiles 2 étages escapade de rêve

Lisa and Ben were super sweet and informative. The house boat was exactly as pictured. I was concerned it wasn’t going to be as nice.... however it was. My family enjoyed the boat while I attended a local conference nearby. So glad we made the choice of the boat over another hotel room!!

We spent 6 nights on the houseboat. The weather was a bit chilly but we were always comfortably warm. Ben and Lisa even brought us brand new cosy blankets so we could better enjoy the open top deck in the evenings. There are 2 bikes and helmets to use if you want to ride anywhere and San Diego has plenty of electric scooters and bikes that you can rent that are usually only a short walk from the marina. The marina location is great. You are just far enough away from the busy centre to have easy access and enjoy the lights of the city but not so close as to be bothered with noise. The houseboat is very close to the airport and I was concerned that the airport noise would be a problem but it absolutely wasn't. You can hear it occasionally in the day time but not at night.

There are laundry, gym, pool and hot tub facilities at the marina but we didn't use any as the weather was chilly. They all looked well kept though. We also didn't use the bbq on the top deck but it looked like it could cook up a great meal. The top deck is really fantastic and roomy. Lots of seating options and chairs to enjoy the sun. There is a sink, hot plate, fridge and ice maker up top as well as a bar style counter with stools and a table with an umbrella and 2 reclining deck chairs. It is really a fun space. There are also lovely covered decks down below at both the front and back of the houseboat. There are teak chairs and tables on both decks.

Inside was very nicely finished. You feel more like you are in a house. The main living are has a 2 piece bathroom, coffee maker, microwave and mini fridge. All the dishes are stored up on the top deck in the bbq. The houseboat doesn't really have a kitchen but you can make do for "glamping" style meals between the bbq up top and the microwave down below. I slept on the fold out couch bed and was very comfortable. It was easy to keep the boat warm with the space heaters onboard and I found them a much quieter option than the heater system on the boat at night. The master bedroom and bath are really well finished and roomy. The bedding is clean and very comfortable as is the whole houseboat.

Lisa and Ben go out of their way to accommodate!

We talked to Lisa in the morning to coordinate our meet time. She is so pleasant. Best host ever. She gave us information for local dining, sights, etc ..

We met at 4pm, and she walked us through e everything we would want to know about the property and the houseboat. Answered all our questions. Gave us the keys and told us not to hesitate to call or text with any questions.

The Housboat is fantastic. Attention to detail, well appointed, lacking nothing. The master bed is very comfortable. The boat feels very stable as if on solid ground. No rocking.

It is a very safe, very comfortable, nice place to stay.

Beautiful sunsets. The top deck is a 5 star all its own. The bbq worked perfectly. The granite counter tops are large and useful. The plumbing and electrical work flawlessly. There is air conditioning, and heating.

With all the living and outdoor space we never felt cramped or a need to leave the boat.

They have thought of everything.

Integrated Wi-Fi and direct t.v. the massage chair is great. Ice machine in the boat, cookware 2 refrigerators, dimmers and lighting to set your mood .

You can tell the pride, thought, and workmanship that has gone into making this house boat a true gem.

We would highly recommend visiting the house boat. Thank you Ben and Lisa.

My husband and I stayed here for five nights in December, and we loved it. The boat is very comfortable and immaculately clean. The location is serene yet close to San Diego major attractions. I enjoyed reading my books on the upper deck. Thank you, Ben and Lisa!

We consider this a big VRBO win! The houseboat was even better than we expected and was lovely even in less than ideal weather. We are already talking about when we can go back for better weather. Lisa & Ben were incredibly helpful and nice! We ran into a problem with the gate off the docks in the very early morning and they were right on it trying to get us some help and making what could have been a very bad situation into a blessing in disguise. We HIGHLY recommend this place!
