Built for the water.

Fish off the dock at sunrise, take the boat out for the day, then come back to a two-level sundeck over the canal, string lights on the patio and two fire pits. Inside it's bright and easy: a full kitchen, a comfy living room and real beds for everyone.

Bring the dog, too. Pets are welcome with no pet fee.
