Very very tiny, not going to bash this get away but definitely wasn’t what we signed up for.
The host is great at communicating, the issues we had I’m sure will be resolved.

Hot stay
We didn't have a great time. The A/c wasn't working properly, I would have slept outside if we stayed another night. We saw several cockroaches, don't leave food out. For the price we paid I expected better quality. If the host invested a little money it would be a much better experience. Marinas munch was cool, but we were surprised to see it close so early.

Very nice experience
Everything was great. Only advice is if you have a dog you better be able to lift it as stairs going down are straight vertical (you are in a sailboat). Overall very enjoyable stay. Will do it again

We absolutely loved this experience. It was nestled away perfectly, just moments from all of the best happenings of Historic St Augustine. We would love to stay again!

Horrible communication
I received a email stating they would send me all info before arrival. The only info that I received was the password to get on the dock. The hatch to the boat had a combination lock that I never got the combination for. To make matters worse the dock had no lighting at all, we had to use our cell phones to find a dirty looking boat, nothing like the photo. I will never use this site again. The communication is the worse. I took plenty of pictures and will be submit to credit card to not pay this.

I’m not one to leave a bad review I just want to be honest so other people understand what they are paying for. Our experience with the “Romantic Escape”was disappointing. My husband and I spent more than normal to have a fun experience here and we’re fine with paying what they asked, with the understanding of getting what was advertised in the photos. When we got there we were greatly disappointed from the moment we saw the the boat, it was not anything like the pictures. it was old looking and sun rotted the door didn’t even latch completely closed so it would leak if you didn’t have it shut the right way. Inside was ok it was clean but again not what was portrayed in the pictures. The bathroom was confusing and apparently only used for “number one” they did have nice bathrooms with a shower on site tho. The marina was nice and kept up, you would think the boat would be more up to date. The bed was never shown in the pictures, for good reason it was about the size of a twin or smaller. It happen to rain while we were there and started leaking in the center of the bed. At that point we asked for a refund which they did give us and we appreciated. In the add they have a disclaimer about the experience being similar to camping and that’s exactly right but if I wanted a camping experience than I would have paid $30 at a camp ground not $250. In conclusion it was way over priced for something that was inaccurately advertised and needed a lot of work.

pictures did not reflect the condition of the boat. beds were comfortable. A/C worked. Food trucks were on site. No toilet instructions for manual pump. Not pleasant!

Great hosts...not so great boat
I want to start by saying the hosts were very responsive and made the check in process very easy. That’s truly where the great review ends. The boat is much smaller, corroded and old than the photos lead on. It was not clean- there was no light -there was no toilet paper- no toiletries. it was very uncomfortable and claustrophobic. The toilet had its own list of tricks to get it to work which we were not made aware of and there’s no shower available on board. In order to enjoy your experience be sure to bring your own toiletries, your own flashlights, bug spray and probably a fan. It was dingy hot and dirty not to mention wet because we did not know where all the latches and windows were and got wet while we were sleeping as it rained. Needless to say we had to check out after one night and cut our anniversary trip short. It was not at all the romantic getaway we had imagined. The hosts were responsive so they were able to help us at 3 AM when the toilet was overflowing. We truly appreciate how understanding they were to us checking out early but there are many areas that need improvement to make this a romantic experience.

Horrible
Upon arrival they were fixing the ac unit. Three ac units later we still slept in a sweltering hot boat with a huge leaking ac unit in the middle of the floor. It was a nightmare. This was the kickoff to the first night of our vacation as a new couple both recently divorced. Very bad time.

Unique Stay
This was such a unique stay- we enjoyed our time there and we actually got engaged while in St Augustine. The boat did get a little warm (but it is Florida in August) and the bed was a standard V shape common in sailboats- so it wasn’t the most comfortable shape.. but the mattress itself was fantastic! We noticed the owner has other boats in the area so we will probably try a different one next time. Overall a fantastic experience I highly recommend!
