We were a large group (10) of guys looking for a spot for a duck hunting trip and this place was perfect! Great location, perfect space for cooking / hanging out and all the room we needed. Cory was in contact early and often. He even went out of his way to come fix the heat when a break switched on us (even after we assured him we’d be okay without it). Overall this place was awesome and we’ll be back for sure

We had an awesome time at Cory’s place. The house boat has so much character and is conveniently located next to the Venice Marina. Cory was extremely easy and quick to communicate with. We will definitely be looking to book his place again in the future!!
