Experience the Ultimate Floating Getaway on the Intracoastal Waterway!

Welcome to your unique floating home, nestled on a dock off the stunning Intracoastal Waterway. This 40 ft. floating retreat offers you a one-of-a-kind vacation experience that you’ll never forget. Perfectly located near Swansboro, NC, you’ll have easy access to antique shops, restaurants, and more. The beautiful Emerald Isle beaches are just a 7-minute drive away, while you’ll enjoy breathtaking sunsets every evening and guaranteed dolphin sightings.

Conveniently close to Crystal Coast Watersports and Ali-Kat Sportfishing Charters, this floating home offers you an adventure-filled experience from the moment you arrive.

Living Space & Features
This unique floating home is designed to provide you with a relaxing and fun-filled getaway. It includes:

Sleeping Arrangements: A comfy Queen Bed and a Daybed for additional sleeping space.
Living Area: As you enter, you’ll find a cozy living area with a TV, DVD player, board games, and movies to keep you entertained.
Kitchen: Head downstairs to your fully stocked kitchen, perfect for preparing meals during your stay. The dining table also converts into a daybed for extra sleeping space if needed.

Fishing: Right off the dock, you can catch plenty of fish. We provide 2 fishing rods! Tackle can also be bought at Neuse, just 2 minutes away.
Sunset Views: After a day of fun, climb the ladder up to the balcony where you’ll find comfortable outdoor seating. You’ll have stunning sunset views, watch boats return from a day of fishing, and enjoy dinner at the outdoor dining table.
This floating home offers you a truly unique experience, blending comfort, adventure, and unparalleled water views. It’s an unforgettable getaway you’ll want to add to your bucket list!

Potential for noise: Crystal Coast Watersports business is located on the same dock this boat is harbored at. These businesses will be open during daylight times!

This is a floating home called, "PogueLandia” and cannot be driven away from its boat slip. No smoking around boats.
NOTICE Fish can be very active from time to time and if they bump into the bottom of the boat it sounds like knocking, if you are a light sleeper I recommend bringing earplugs. Sometimes boats can move and might bump into the side of the slip or sticks can move in during the night. These can all make various types of noises; it is not like staying in a house.
NOTE: Houseboat toilets are not like home, they can have different orders so to help keep the lid down, keep the cleaner squirted in the toilet after use!

There is also a public port-o-potty during April-October for usage as well!

This unique BNB is a great escape for the outdoorsy type!

Long weekend
Stayed here for a long weekend with my daughter before she started back to school. The property had everything we needed and was close to the beach (maybe a 10minute drive). Marc provided 2 kayak’s for our personal use and any questions or concerns I had he promptly responded. Keep in mind it only has a camp toilet but that didn’t bother us. Had a great time, very relaxing.

The housebouse was absolutely adorable and romantic with a huge upper deck fully furnished and enough room for several people to have dinner and watch the absolutely stunning sunsets every night and a higher flat area you can sit or lay out on. It also sleeps 3, maybe 4 with the bench sitting area in the upper front of the boat, full kitchen with fridge, stove and everything you need to cook, bath towels, etc... Right on the water with 2 complimentary kayak's. Very close to Shark tooth island and a few minutes drive to Emerald Isle, Bouge Inlet Pier. There's also jet skis available for rent, but it's back behind you and does not disturb your privacy as your at the very end of the dock with a huge decking area to yourself as well overlooking the water and small islands. It's close drive to Walmart, ice cream shops, restaurants and great communication with the Host if you needed anything. 10/10 would recommend.

Perfect getaway
I loved my time on the boat this weekend. It’s very relaxing and the roof deck is to die for. The bed is comfy and the AC keeps the boat cooler than you’d expect. If you don’t mind a bit of inconvenience that comes with boat living, then you’re in for a treat. I’ve already started looking at dates this summer to head back!

Fun stay!
We enjoyed the stay! It was the perfect spot to watch the swansboro flotilla! The boat could have been cleaned a little better - dust and dog hair throughout - and easier access to get into the boat would have been helpful as it was quite tight on the side without direct ramp access. There is also not a fully functional toilet - there is a small portable potty available on board but it was not ideal. However, the host was very helpful and available to help with everything and the dock is large so this allows for good space to hang out! It’s a great concept and was a great experience!

cute boat but not for us
The boat itself was very cute, but the toilet situation was definitely not for us. 3 big towels for 2 adults was not enough. The shower wasn't draining very well (and yes, we did pull the little pin at the sink while taking a shower). We cleaned it as good as we could, so water would drain better. The window AC unit could use a new filter.

Disappointing Host
First of all, we loved the boat except the bathroom! Was told last minute that we would be using a camping toilet and that we’d have to walk 150 feet to a dirty porta-potty to use the bathroom. The bathroom had no light, but host said he had a spot light to use, but it had no charger. Luckily, I brought a touch light that I had in my truck. Host bathroom light was disconnected for safety reasons, but there’s a propane tank in the bedroom for the stove. Even with the propane shut off, it can still leak, there was no gas leak detector in the boat. Went and brought 60.00 in groceries and during the night, the refrigerator went out. Got up and all the food was hot! Told the host, and he said he’d get his refrigerator guy to check on it. The host texted us back and said he’d put another mini frig in and that “Dinner was on him” We thought, ok that was nice and would compensate out groceries. Waited for dinner but host lied and did nothing!! Didn’t even text us to ask if everything was ok and if mini frig was working! We had to go buy a antenna for the tv cause it had no internet on the boat. Couldn’t get on the top of the boat because the rail from the ramp was in the way of the ladder. I was very disappointed about this. Overall the stay on the boat was good, and the boat was nice, but the host lied to us which disappointed us to where we’d never stay here again.

Cozy Houseboat Glamping
Fun weekend on the water! We kayaked, swam, floated and had tiki drinks on the top deck while watching the boats go by and the sun set. Picked up fresh seafood on the bridge for a low country boil. After a day in the sun we sank into the cozy bed for a great sleep!
