My husband and I had a wonderful time clebrating the 4th with friends at Julia's Arc houseboat. The beach at the Marina was a nice place to have a cookout and watch fireworks, up and down the entire Chesapeake shorelines. Julia had everything there we needed for grilling on the beach.
The houseboat was well appointed, clean and comfortable. Well equipped kitchen, even supplying condiments, some spices and paper products like foil, plastic wrap, etc. True to everything listed online. Only drawback: It says it sleeps 6, with 2 bedrooms, however; the twin futon room is better suited to sleep 2 children. We ended up using the sleeper sofa in the main living area. While it was comfortable, and served the purpose; we would have preferred having another usable bedroom for adults.
Overall, it was a perfect getaway for 4. Celebrating our freedom to do things like this. Julia was very accommodating and available for questions. Would recommend.

Beautiful houseboat to stay in for a week and explore the Eastern side of Maryland. The houseboat is gorgeous inside and has many private areas if you just want to get away from the group. Highly recommended and look forward to renting it again.

The boat house was so relaxing and just what we needed to get away and unwind. We would love to come back when it is not off season because I imagine then it is even more fun! We loved it !

My husband and I and our dog had a lovely getaway on "Julia's Arc". This was our first time on a Houseboat and it was a wonderful experience. So much light! And the movement of the boat was just enough to be comforting.
The home was very clean and beautifully adorned with great attention to detail. Julia, the host, was very responsive and very generous in doing all she could to make our trip as comfortable and pleasurable as possible. The views over the water were gorgeous and we really enjoyed watching the local wildlife. The neighborhood is quiet and the small marina beach park was clean and lovely. Obviously, there are limitations to being on a boat such as limited hot water, needing to use bottled water for drinking and tooth brushing, etc., but that's the nature of any houseboat, not something the host could do anything about. Just be aware if you plan to have a larger group or do a lot of cooking, maybe a house on land would be better.:)
This was a first class experience and I would highly recommend this property for a cozy and peaceful getaway.

I surprised my wife with a weekend getaway. Julia's place was lovely. VRBO had some technical issue, yer she was able to provide me the check-in information. Never been on a houseboat. The place is beautifully decorated and she still had some Valentines themed items out. Which made our romantic weekend even more special. Breathtaking sunsets. Definitely coming back in the warmer season. You should definitely consider coming to Julia's Arc. Thanks for letting us enjoy your place.

Very clean and quiet place. This was a great place to get my “mid” off the yard for some time to decompress. The only note I would make is that the second bedroom with the “double sofa bed” is really more suited for little people. This would be a little small for 6 full sized adults.
