Poor overall- we left early. Beds were clean but there were many issues, such as dust, mold, septic smells and stains, cracks and hairs that should not have been there. Would not return even if corrections were made.

Our family enjoyed this unique stay. Great location for day trips. Restaurants within walking distance and stores within a short drive. Our kiddos loved the hammock and sitting on the bow of the boat soaking in the night views and watching the wildlife float by during the day.

This yacht is much larger that all the others in the marina and has fantastic space to relax in. It is an older boat and has charm with a wonderful homey feel. Neil was an amazing host and was very communicative. I woul absolutely recommend staying here.

Accurate description, it was some different to stay on the boat. But it is a boat so make sure you set your expectations.

At first we were unable to get into the marina where the property 0 a boat - was located because the host gave us the wrong entrance code and we could not reach him by phone because his message board was full. The marina helped us in. The entrance to the boat was hazardous - an unsteady plastic “staircase”. We turned around and left this property immediately upon seeing it. Mold everywhere. And I mean everywhere. Almost every window cracked and non able to open. Dirt and stains throughout. Wires dangling from various appliances. We contacted the host via the Vrbo site, saying we couldn’t stay and asking for a refund. He then quickly responded with a series of abusive messages, which you can view on your site. We also contacted Vrbo to lodge a complaint and provided photos of the property’s deficiencies. We’ve been promised an investigation, and are waiting to hear from you.

Great trip Clean and fun experience

I was surprisingly amazed by the boat despite being old was so clean, well maintained, furnished, great location. The host was extremely kind, very responsive. We had an excellent time and are already discussing spending more time next time we rent it.

Filthy. Disgusting, stained sheets, a layer of dust that hasn’t been cleaned in years, which ruins any clothing unfortunate enough to rub up against ANYTHING in or out of the boat. Wires hang from the walls and ceiling, sharp jagged metal sticking out of walls, outlets hanging from ceiling, PLENTY of fixtures(fans, lights) that do not work. No working Wi-Fi or cable. There IS, however, a jumping’ night club RIGHT NEXT to the boat(which isn’t mentioned in the description) that pumps out obnoxiously LOUD thumping music every night until very late. On the other side of the boat is a power station, which is right next to a SUPER NOISY steam factory that makes noise all day and night. There are no locks on the doors, so take your valuables with you when you leave. It was a balmy 96 degrees in the boat the whole time we were there- unbearable! The tiny ancient air conditioner in the main bedroom couldn’t cool down the temp below 80. I bit my tongue and drank wine (absolutely nothing else to do but sweat) but there’s not enough wine in the world to make that death trap even remotely resemble the write up the owner lovingly gives. It is equivalent to sleeping in a dirt floor basement with no amenities on a vacation- it will be the low point of your stay. Save your money and heartache and avoid this dirty unclean lodging(unless you like dirt, factories, not sleeping, horrible loud music, the busy road north AND south, lack of parking ANYWHERE NEAR the boat, yucky odors from the toilets, AND having nothing to do!) am I disgruntled? No. I am disappointed beyond belief.

We had the best time. The boat was clean and looked better then the pictures. Exceeded our expectations!! We would definitely stay again!!! It’s within walking distance to many restaurants and bars. We enjoyed the Hot Club bar and the Fish Co. Also had dinner at Hemenway’s for my birthday and the food was fantastic! 10/10 Rating!!!!!

Me and my family loved the boat it’s not brand new but it had everything we wanted

It was awesome, everything I expected.

It was exciting

Great place

Maybe my expectations were too high but I don't think so. The owner was very responsive and very nice but this was a real disappointment. There was no hot water, there was nowhere outside to sit except two really dirty chairs, the dishes were left in the strainer but not really clean. You cannot open any of the windows...they are glued shut. The comforters were very dingy. I was afraid to touch anything because nothing seemed clean at all. The shower was very much in need to some attention and we couldn't even use it because of no hot water anyway. I do understand that it was an old boat but I think there has to be some general maintenance done if you want to rent it. We left as soon as possible in the morning, and we cannot recommend this boat unfortunately. Overall, it soured us on ever doing this again.

Great location. Easy self check in. Everything in the boat was clean and nice. Perfect weekend getaway for friends or family. Would rent again.

Fun thing to do

We love exploring cities through VRBO & this property didn’t disappoint. We were out &!about in the day & relaxed & enjoyed the yacht in the evening. Great location & communication. We hope to return.

I rented this for a surprise for my fiancé’s birthday and it was such a fun experience!! the boat was clean and spacious. Would recommend!

This was an amazing experience. Growing up on the water, and having spent many summers on our boat, this was exactly what I had hoped for. The Brazil is an awesome yacht, a classic! It is loaded with character and made for a peaceful getaway. We were fortunate to meet Neil who is a gracious and caring host. We only wish we could have stayed longer and will definitely be back.

We enjoyed our stay very much! Waking distance to everything and a cool experience staying on a yacht! Thank-you to our host Neil- everything was perfect! Would definitely do it again!

Safe and interesting location, close to the downtown.

The boat was very dirty and very smelly. Needs a good cleaning and some air fresheners. The boat smelled like mildow. You need to get some outside chairs, the chairs outside had mold on them. No fans that worked like stated so no air flow. We left as soon as we could in the morning. There was crumbs all over the carpet. Also a bug was found in the bed with the 2 beds. Overall just a bad experience

Neil was great to work with, from the video showing how to use the boat and quick responses to answering our questions.

I will start off with stating, the experience of staying on a small yacht was great in terms of the uniqueness of lodging. The owner was prompt with our booking and we did not reach out to him while on our stay, so I cannot comment on responsiveness. However, the photos presented on VRBO for viewers are most likely close to 10 years old which is reflective of the condition of the boat. The beds were clean and comfortable, but, there were lights throughout the boat that did not work or were visibly broken. Anything that is supposed to be white is a dingy yellow or grey. The blinds on the boat definitely need to be replaced since they had black mold on them. The entire boat needs a new paint job both inside and out. As for the bathrooms; although clean... the smell was overwhelming. We used the bathroom that was available for the mariner most of the time.We only stayed two days, so did not complain to the owner. I have never given a poor review in the past, but would have appreciated the feedback before booking this one. This could be an incredible lodging experience if there was a bit more care put into the place.

I shouldn’t say anything more than!!!Absolutely Amazing!!! But i have toIAs an essential worker in NYC the last year has been absolutely horrible…. Then We unpacked the car and sat outside in the bow of the boat…. AND!!!! absolutely nothing else mattered. I have never felt so relaxed in my life….Neil our host was absolutely amazing, he answered our questions quickly and even send u an informational video on how to work things on ur yacht. This was our first stay on one of Neil’s “hotels on the water”…. But definitely wont be our last

We enjoyed our stay on the Brasil overnight. Our elementary aged boys loved the novelty and enjoyed pretending to be captains on the high seas. Definitely worth it for their enjoyment. From an adult perspective, it could use a bit of updating, as several light fixtures were not in working order. Window air conditioning was much appreciated on a 90 degree night. Overall a fun stay.

The property owner is great! Instructions provided were detailed and to the point. Neil was timely and very responsive. We enjoyed our stayed very much....a must do for sure! Location is perfect and close to bars, restaurants and must see locations while in Providence. Great experience!

We rented the yacht for a bachelorette party during the pandemic so we would not have to be around the general public as a pre-wedding precaution. The yacht was clean and ready for us. The security to get to it made us and our belongings feel safe. Neil was very prompt with his responses to out 1,000,000,000 questions and was always polite and friendly. I recommend this listing to anyone who is looking for something a little different than just another hotel stay

It was extremely hot , but there was a air conditioning in the bedroom and a breeze coming off the water. It was nice hanging out and having a cocktail on the back of the boat.

Neil was great and was available at all times to help us with any questions or any issues we had. The house boat was very cute and we had a fun time.
