Comfort Near Water
LACEY TOWNSHIP, N.J.
Adorable kitchenette with minifridge, electric kettle, and retro classic compact microwave. Spacious patio seating, no chairs. Luxe bathroom equipped with drainable shower, toilet, and ultradissolving double-ply toilet paper, extra fee for second roll (regular T.P. will clog, triggering extra cleaning fee).
The stone's-throw-away waterfront has much to offer: brilliant sunsets, live music, full-service bars and restaurants, a boardwalk, and chartered cruises.
Note: During the off-season (now), the houseboat is parked in the host's driveway. Guests will need to drive the houseboat to the marina and dock it. Host will provide necessary paperwork. Knowledge of operating heavy machinery preferred but not required.
