Every day is different as there’s plenty to do at each stop such as fishing, swimming, snorkeling, and paddleboarding. You can hang out in the padded lounge for your tan or have fun in the inflatables tied at the rear end of the boat.
You’ll never have to worry about preparing food as the booking includes daily breakfast and light midday lunch. For multiple night cruises, dinner is served every other night and the nights in between are dining opportunities at a waterfront restaurant. Note that the restaurant dinner is excluded from the booking price.

13. Rustic houseboat for the adventurous travelers (from USD 101)
Those who are seasoned campers and boaters, or simply adventure enthusiasts, will be delighted by this rustic houseboat. The rental is not your typical docked-on-the-bay houseboat as you’ll need to canoe for about seven minutes from the base marina to reach it. For an extra fee, a motorized dinghy boat can take you to the houseboat should you want to skip the canoe. The unit is furnished with an abundantly stocked kitchen, outdoor grill, and beautiful bed. A generator powers up the appliances including air-conditioning, fan, TV, and coffee maker for a hassle-free stay.
Rumor has it that the host shares a secret tiki spot with the guests—a gorgeous place you’ll feel like you’ve been transported to an entirely different place they say. Note that a minimum of three-night stays is required when booking.
14. Cozy houseboat in the open ocean
Enjoy a “glorified camping” experience when you stay in this houseboat anchored right in the open ocean. You’ll also get to learn how to operate a small dinghy as you need to take a 7-minute ride on one in order to reach this vacation rental. Its location allows guests to swim or snorkel right off the houseboat. Parking is free for one vehicle at the marina.
Suitable for couples and solo adventurers, this houseboat offers a double-size bed, battery pack, and portable cooktop. The lack of WIFI and TV allows guests to disconnect and relax. Instead of heating and air conditioning, the fresh ocean breeze keeps guests comfortable throughout their stay. While there is a shower bag and a composting toilet on the deck, guests are also provided access to a communal shower and bathroom at the marina.
