The Quirky Houseboat Dodge

CarolineRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
What a brilliant place to stay! I felt like a child clambering up the steps to the viewing seat at the back, spotting all the unusual items around the place .. really fun. Hamish was a great host, showing us how the place worked. Great little outside space at the back. The whole place felt really homely. The toilet took a bit of getting use to ... so be prepared for an an adventure, but everything worked well including the wood burner, heating and hot water.

Houseboat / watervilla Black Swan

SusanneRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
The houseboat itself is a dream and super well located, if on the one hand you love the beauty and tranquility of the countryside, sheep and green meadows on your doorstep but on the other hand also like to go to the beach or to the cities. The train is quickly reached and this is a big plus in the parking situation in Amsterdam. Leonora and Erwin were easy to reach and always there for us when we had questions. Super nice hosts! Thank you so much dear ones!

Floating Cottage - Summer/Fall Rates Reduced

MarilynRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We loved feeding the turtles 🐢. You have to check out downtown Sanford, walk the Riverwalk & go to the Central Florida Zoo & Botanical Gardens. Don't forget to try the Jailhouse Restaurant - in a real old jailhouse, great food! She was an amazing host.

Dream Weaver

JennyRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
This is literally the perfect place to stay in Charlottetown! Within walking distance to anything you need including restaurants, coffee shops, parks and downtown. The space itself was cozy yet spacious. It was clean and comfortable and the highlight was the covered patio outside to watch the boats go by. We will definitely return!

JESSIE the narrowboat in Little Venice

PetraRating, 5 stars4 days ago
We had a wonderful stay in London on Meg's unique narrow boat Jessie. Everything was well prepared for us to feel at home. Our kids loved to feed the ducks with the provided duck food in the mornings and evenings - when we were resting from the adventures 'outside'. It was very special for us to live on such a unique boat in the midst of London 😍. Thank you for everything Meg!

Sunny houseboat near Amsterdam centre!

LouiseRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We absolutely loved our stay at Anouk’s place. It was extremely comfortable for 4 people and had a wonderful living space that felt comfortable and homely. We loved having access to the bikes and despite having inclement weather it was an easy ride to the wonderful Zaanse Schans and the old windmills. Quintessential Amsterdam! The jewel on the crown was when the rain finally stopped, we were able to experience the stunning canal view from the moored boat at the back. Unfortunately the weather hadn’t permitted us to use the boat to explore the other canals but it is definitely something we would love to do on a future visit. Anouk was fabulous at communicating and left comprehensive information for us to make the most of the area. We loved dining at her favourite restaurant and probably made our mark as we were leaving! (Another story!) Ha! We definitely caught the spirit of the place! Could not recommend this highly enough. Thanks for a fabulous stay 🙏🏽❤️

Warm houseboat in cityheart (see “The Bear”)

BertramRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We spent five nights with our family of four on the lovely house boat and really enjoyed our stay. The little boat is a lovely and very cozy place and perfect for staying in the very centre of Copenhagen. I mean, where else can you easily recognise your accommodation in air photographs of the city centre:-) The boat has everything you need for your stay and beds are very comfortable. Also, Eva is super kind and easy to reach when there are questions. Thanks for having us!

Peaceful lake side cabin

AaronRating, 5 stars5 days ago
We absolutely loved our stay. From the minute Tom greated us it felt like a home away from home. The cabin was extremely homely and it was lovely to switch off from the online world. We used the guide book provided and spent a day in Lyme Regis and then West Bay. We loved sitting by the pond and reading a book with a cup of tea. We even saw a deer! Although unfortunately not the white stags! We will be back!!

Seascape - Floating Home FreeParking NoCleaningFee

MaxineRating, 5 stars1 day ago
I wanted to book a night away for my birthday meeting up with my daughter. I came across Seascape and immediately thought it would be ideal. We were not disappointed. Stunning location and beautifully kept. The weather was very warm and there was a air conditioning unit which was a god send. I will hopefully be able to return again

The stay was great. The owners are close by and available for assistance. Requesting gas everyday day was a little annoying and the tank ran out of water on our last stay. Overall was a good experience.

Floating Paradise ~ Beach, Hot Tub & Kayaks

SueRating, 5 stars1 day ago
We so much enjoyed our stay on the Splashing Pelican. It was peaceful and comfortable - a unique experience on our first visit to this beautiful part of Florida. Not much wildlife to report, but the super athletic fish were amazing and did their best to put on a show for us. And we so enjoyed the sunsets. We also enjoyed kayaking and visits to Vero Beach. Natalie was helpful at all times. Thank you.

L Atout is a real little gem on the Loire, a return to childhood in the land of Tom Sawyer Time is suspended, it's magic. Thank you to Jérémy and Séverine for hosting us, very friendly hosts, smiling, attentive and very responsive. In short, a place you want to keep secret... can't wait to go back! Céline

Coastal Caviar - The Ossetra - Honeymoon Suite

BryanRating, 5 stars1 week ago
This was the best Airbnb we’ve ever stayed in! The houseboat is in a perfect location, sitting right at the iconic Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, close to all the hotspots in Charleston. It was a beautiful home and exceeded our expectations. There was occasional wake from boats coming/going, but it was truly hardly noticeable so don’t let that be a deterrent from staying here. We even saw dolphins each morning swimming in the harbor from the front deck of the houseboat! The hosts were excellent with communication. We will definitely be back!

Quiet Gem, lovely B&B in the Heart of Amsterdam

Sophie EllenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
My friend and I had the most joyful and beautiful stay here. I knew it would be unique to stay in a boat - but in the run up to the trip I was a tad nervous about the bed (was it going to be too small for my friend and I to share?) and were the sleeping quarters going to be too hot (we realised we were arriving in Amsterdam during a heatwave!!). But when we arrived I was over to moon to find a huge bed in the coolest part of the boat, I slept beautifully the whole trip 💤❤️ My unexpectedly favourite aspect of the whole property was the decking area next to the boat where there was seating, pillows & fairy lights under a shaded spot. In 27-30 degree heat, we were in heaven peacefully sitting there watching swimmers and boats alike go by. I would start every morning & evening relaxing on that deck if I could. Would definitely stay there again - absolutely loved it. Highlight of the trip
