This property is a unique and well appointed floating condo with all updated features. It has two bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with a double bed. There are 1.5 bathrooms which share a shower but still retain complete privacy for each bedroom's occupants. The kitchen has all of the features of a modern home such as a full size refrigerator, stove and microwave. Small appliances include a Keurig coffee maker (coffee provided), blender, toaster, electric can opener along with dishes and glasses and more. The kitchen surfaces are solid Corian with indoor dining seating available for 4. All furnishings are very upscale. The art features a local artist, Tom Tiffin, who has captured a very authentic portrayal of a local shrimp fishing boat. The best feature is the large front porch which offers a spectacular views of both sunrises by looking to the right and sunsets on your left. There are always either boats, fish or birds to view from your porch. Today, I saw 2 dolphins swim by. This area includes seating for 4. The all electric 950 sq. ft. houseboat offers all of the modern systems including an easily controlled central air conditioner/heating system It has an aluminum hull and is surrounded by a floating dock system which makes getting off and on a breeze. A comfortable temperature can be maintained at all times of the year by merely opening the front and back doors to the river breezes. This is indeed a wonderful way to spend a relaxing and comfortable vacation.
We liked the location and the setup. The view of the river was great! We loved watching the boat traffic, the birds and the tide. Karen was attentive and able to answer all questions. Very nice time.

Karen's Houseboat was a wonderful fun experience with all the utility's and features you would expect with a home on land. Nicely furnished, very clean with 3 tvs, hbo stations, great kitchen well furnished. Right in the middle of the downtown activity with just a couple of blocks to great shopping and restaurants. Karen was very attentive and available during our stay. Nicely decorated and great for the three of us. Two nice bedrooms, two baths and a shared shower space in between. We loved it. Apalachiacola was a real gem to fine. We rented a boat, did a little fishing and a great tour up the river.

We have stayed in Apalach before at what we thought was "the" place to stay, very nice place, great time, but this houseboat of Karen's takes accommodations in Apalach to a whole new level! We celebrated my wife's double 30 birthday with friends and we had a great time! The houseboat "Southern Comfort" was very will appointed, kitchen had everything we needed and more, TV's in each bedroom and great room (for those that want to watch them) wifi, etc., but many hours were spent on the Poarch watching the shrimp boats, pass by and activity on the river! Beautiful sunrises to start the day and sunsets to close the day out! Very little movement was noticed at all on the houseboat during our stay, so don't let that be a concern for you landlubbers out there, you cannot get a better view anywhere else . . . The towns hussle-bustle is behind you and tranquility in front of you as you sit on the poach enjoying your coffee in the morning and beverages in the evening! Short Walking distance to town, restaurants, and shopping and almost in the shadows of "Up the Creek" a fun place to grab a dozen of oysters and other specialities. Karen Hoff offers a one of a kind experience with her houseboats and we will be talking about our quick 4 days of fun until our next visit . . . Book-it, experience it and you will do the same!

We had a great stay. Mrs Karen was very nice and informational on the area. Fireworks show was awesome to watch from the porch. Caught few catfish off the porch and even seen a Gator swim by Monday evening. Will most certainly make it back to stay again. Perfect place to relax and watch the boats go by and the sunrise is spectacular with a cup of joe. We really enjoyed it.

Fantastic and unique experience. Beautifully furnished very comfortable. Just what my wife and I needed to decompress. Walking distance from bars and restaurants. One of the best lodging options I have ever experienced. Thanks!

My husband and I stayed on Blue House boat the weekend of the Oyster City Challenge. It was a perfect location to walk to the park, in town to wonder around and visit local restaurants. We also walked to the one grocery store in town, Piggly Wiggly. The boat house was nice, very clean and had a great view. The bedrooms are a bit small, but you aren't spending a lot of time in those two rooms. The living area and kitchen are very spacious. The boat did have some movement but very minimal. You are in the channel where the fishing boats come in and out, they always came in and out at low speeds. When we first arrived the fish odor was very strong for a day and half. It was raining and overcast those days. Once the sun came out the smell mostly went away. We saw gators and a herd of manatee from the boat that was really need and had a beautiful rainbow one day. They have just added a kayak launch, that was nice since we did bring our boats there for the Paddle Fest that weekend. The kitchen is well stocked, the preparing a salad was would have gone smoother if the knives we sharper. We purchased fish from 13 Mile twice and really enjoyed the Scampi Fish and Flounder, we highly recommend 13 Mile.. Overall it lovely weekend and we enjoyed our time on the houseboat.
