The house itself was fantastic. Everything appeared new and clean. My disappointment came from the fact that prior to booking I specifically asked if there were any size restrictions for boats and was told no. Our first day on the premises a neighbor came out yelling at us ands taking pictures of our boat stating that it was too big for the dock and we had to get it out of there. Our 32’ boat was definitely hanging over into her property on one end and had to be tied very tight to the docks to avoid the motors from hitting the area of dock that jogs out on the other end. To appease the neighbor we had to give them our phone numbers and make ourselves available to move our boat for them if they wanted to take their boat out because they didn’t have sufficient room. It added an unnecessary stress to the stay that was frustrating. The neighbor called the owner complaining and he did reach out to me to suggest that we turn our boat the opposite direction on his dock. We chose not to do that because we felt that then the bow of the boat would hit the bumped out area of dock since it sits higher than the motors. Additionally the problem would still exist because it doesn’t change the fact that the boat was too big for his dock. Bottom line is that if your boat is bigger than about 27’ your are gonna have a problem.
