We rented a houseboat from this family owned business and they did a fantastic job of taking care of us. They made sure we had everything we needed for our weekend getaway with our family. We took advantage of the option to preorder our groceries and the fridge was stocked with all the items we ordered when we arrived on the houseboat. Super friendly staff! They even came by to check on us and see if we needed anything. I highly recommend this company, and we are looking forward to booking again with them next summer.

2021 was our groups 3rd year in a row renting a houseboat from Almost Home and the experience is always great. The service is top notch! We go with a group of 14 usually and stay the full 7 nights. They have a boat they can bring you fresh water and unload your tanks so you don't have to worry about running out - you do have to pay for this extra amenity BUT IT IS SOOO WORTH IT!!! Anything rental will have a need for maintenance and we have experienced this. I only mention this because, the customer service was quick & responsive and always with a smile. Not to mention they do anything they can

The boat was so easy to drive which was a concern for us since no one in our group had much boat driving experience! The pictures of the houseboat online do not do justice to how nice these boats really are! WE were all very shocked when we arrived on the boat! The air conditioning was perfect! The rooms were much larger than we
