Woonboten in Canada

'WOW! Coolest property ever! Hosts were amazing, I’m DEFINITELY coming back! '

'Fabulous location and a very well kept home. Like other reviewers, it took us a little while, about an hour, to acclimate to the rocking. Barely noticeable for the rest of our stay. Fabulous proximity to the Shipyards and other amenities. Will definitely book this home again! Thank you Marilee’s. '

'Very private property with a beautiful view.'

'We were excited to stay on a boat again, as we had done in Boston and had loved it. Upon arrival, we noticed this boat was older, which i have no problem with, but it was dirty overall. We did not use the kitchen (which would have been great for just having breakfast in, at least). Coffee pot was at least 30 years old and looked it (we had one early in our marriage). The sponge in the kitchen was old and has hair on it. I found 2 orthodontic rubber bands on the floor, one by the dining room...

'We booked two float homes and loved every minute. Pearl was easy to communicate with and quick to answer questions. This was a rustic relaxing vacation. The float homes didn’t rock as crazy as I would have liked because Strawberry Island is on the inlet side of the ocean but they certainly rocked gently here and there. Cooking and heat are via propane but the houses have electricity and city water which tasted divine right out of the tap! The properties are dog friendly but don’t stink at all....

'We booked two float homes for a group of 7 people: 1 grandma, two parents, 21yo daughter and fiancé, and 17 and 13 year olds plus two dogs. Adults in the yellow house, kids in the green. What a great time we had, just us, the ocean, the other float home guests who were friendly, and the birds and seals. These places are rustic but so lovely. They have everything you need and the owners are so responsive. We couldn’t figure out the pilot light in a fireplace and they were down working it in...

'This property is in a lovely location with some marvellous outdoor options. It is close enough to Ottawa to be able to experience all the area has to offer yet far enough out to find peaceful relaxation if you prefer. The houseboat is such a unique experience. The host is very helpful and personable. '

'This place was amazing. It had a beautiful view. The owner Kenny was amazing to deal with through the whole process. Will definitely stay here again.'
