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.
