This boathouse was such a unique and cool stay; it was our first time ever vacationing in one. It was within close access to the beach, shops, and restaurants. We especially loved the all around bay views on the top deck. The views are beautiful and peaceful. The inside of the boathouse was homey and comfortable. The only thing I would say is when the toilet is flushed, it does have a bit of a funky smell to it. But other than that, the experience was very enjoyable. The owner was very friendly and helpful whenever I had questions. If a make another Fort Walton trip, I'd definitely stay at this boathouse again :)

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
The top deck of the boat was GREAT. Inside was terrible. No A/C in the bedroom, no water in the bathroom, no lights in the bathroom, holding tank smell was terrible. Dought it is ever treated. NEVER again. No temp control of shower water. Either scalding hot or cold when the 5 minutes of hot ran out.

It was nice staying in a houseboat versus a hotel room while visiting Ft Walton. The amenities and condition were as advertised. It gave us more of an overall feel and atmosphere of being on the beach. There was a pretty loud band in the restaurant nearby who played well into the night.
