Just finished our first ever 53' houseboat rental for one week from Parrot Cove Rentals. What a fabulous week it was. The boat operated perfectly. We had 9 people aboard for the entire week and everyone ate and slept great every day and night. The office staff, the fleet mechanic, and the dock hands were friendly, professional, and extremely responsive to questions and concerns during the week. I was so impressed with the entire team. Can't wait to book our next week, hopefully with 2-3 houseboats next time. I want the entire family to join us when we do this again.
