Summary: Perfect for a simple, easy and comfortable stay with my husband and our dog. Great location and we were fortunate with lovely weather too…The enclosed courtyard, which wrapped around the boathouse, was perfect for our dog to wander around and created a sense of serenity and calm for us. Would love to come back here another time.

Summary: Always looking for a clean, contemporary, comfortable and well equipped stay that will allow us to travel with our dog. This little boat house hit the spot perfectly. Located in a quiet tree lined street right near the river and within walking distance to the high street and ocean beach, it allowed for a chilled and relaxed few days with our fur kid. The house was clean and well equipped, allowing us to cook some meals at home and generally relax. It had a good solid dog proof fence.
