Wonderful trip
My husband and I had a amazing trip, Gia was the best host , a pleasure to talk with. The boat was clean and beautiful, amazing views from both decks , we used the kayaks and paddled on a quiet waterway in the morning and enjoyed swimming at the club pool afterwards. I can't say enough wonderful things, a weekend wasn't long enough, we look forward to coming back. Thank you for sharing your boat with us.

I love the boat. Emails were answered in a timely manner.. Was not able to enjoy the pool or the other extra. Every time I went the door was locked was told yesterday where the key was…..I was so scared of getting on and off the boat. I had no clue the distance from the deck to the boat. I honestly only went out when I had to. Nice people on the deck though many people helped me out.

Houseboat Vacationing
I very much enjoyed this unique experience of houseboat living. I knew I would enjoy the marina life and being on the water sounded wonderful. However, it really is not really dependent on the tides as to how your are able to board the boat. You WILL have at least 3 feet to step/jump over to get on the boats deck. As a single person, I found this not to work very well. My suitcase and groceries were difficult at times to bring onboard by myself. With that being said, the last day there, one of the bags I was bringing with me ended up at the bottom of the sound with my Jeep Fob in it. Make sure you keep your keys on a floatable keyring.
Not just this case, but I feel these sites do a horrible job with check-in directions in general. Terrible. I had no idea where the boat was and I was coming in late at night.
Gia, as host, was great. Quick responses and very helpful.
If you are not aware of septic systems that cannot accept anything but waste, no paper, no nothing...that takes a little getting used too.
Overall, it was a nice time....My only real issue with how to get on and off the boat easily,

Wonderful Escape to Manteo
My wife and I booked the Azul for a weekend Easter getaway. We had a lovely time. Gia was a wonderful host and communicated very well how to check in and informed me of boat policies. We spent most of our time on the sundeck with the nice outdoor furniture and artificial grass carpet. I felt like I was being rocked gently to sleep at night on the very comfortable bed. Stripers Bar and Grill, Darrells Seafood Resraurant, and McDonalds are all easily walkable from this boat. Will definitely recommend this place. Thank you Gia!!! We were honored to stay here.
