Completely updated 1 bedroom Float Home on the beautiful Forked River! Enjoy a glass of wine for a sunset on your rooftop deck. Play, drink, and eat on the many party spots up and down the river. Fall asleep to the calming sound of water right outside your window. Awesome Lake Beach and Wibit only a mile away! Strong and fast WiFi! Kayaks included!!!
Well appointed Float Home with all the comforts of home. Perfect for working from "home", for a comfortable place to stay while visiting the area, or for just getting away to enjoy a unique experience.
The Float Home (or houseboat) was built for year- round living with a powerful HVAC system to keep you toasty in the winter and cool in the summer.
The kitchen features a full size fridge, stove, oven, microwave, toaster, Keurig coffee maker, and a full set of cookware and dishware.
The bedroom is cozy with a comfortable queen size bed, a closet, and plenty of storage shelving.
The open floor plan of the kitchen, dining area and living rooms offer a spacious area to enjoy a meal or watch a movie.
The large couch in the living room is a great spot for an afternoon snooze with the water right outside the 3 large sliding glass doors, or for enjoying a movie at night on the large 55" flat screen tv.
Just outside the float home on dry land is a private grill and picnic table for for outdoor dining. We also provide 3 kayaks for you to use at your own risk. You can launch the kayaks from the black floating dock on the other side of the travel lift.
Please note, this is a floating houseboat that needs to be boarded. Please use caution stepping on and off the Float Home.
Guests have private and complete access to the entire houseboat as well as the rooftop deck. The Houseboat is docked in a slip in a marina next to the travel lift. It is relatively quiet in the winter and busy in the summer. There will be other boaters around the marina and normal marina - type activities going on.
Your hosts live nearby and are occasionally around, but we also work alot. So you may see us, and we would love to meet you! At the same time we are very respectful of your privacy and will not bother you. We are always happy to help if you need something or have a question!
Please reach out to your hosts with any questions via the airbnb app.
The neighborhood consists mostly of marinas. Lots of like-minded boaters who enjoy being on the water, fishing, boating, and the exploring.
