This year I kept the streak alive with a charming overnight stay onboard the Dream Lover. Our hosts, Kay & Jonathan (yes, that's Captain Cook) and their dog Skipper welcomed us aboard like long lost family. We enjoyed a beautiful breezy afternoon chatting topside over a nice glass of wine and some snacks. Kay and Jonathan gave us lots of suggestions for places to dine and we spent the evening exploring the area. Later that night after dinner we lounged on deck - enjoying the night air. Our accommodations in the captains quarters gave us a first hand taste of what living on a boat is like from the gentle rocking and splashing sounds against the hull to the unusual blender-like action when you flushed the head (that's boating lingo for toilet to you land lubbers!) Just two blocks off the sand, we took a 3 mile walk on the beach the next morning and came back to a wonderful breakfast and generous amounts of coffee! Then Jonathan treated us to a little tour in and around the surrounding marinas on their dinghy Bad Dog. It was the perfect way to cap off the stay. If you are looking for a unique place, if the idea of life on a boat intrigues you, if you are willing to exchange the cookie cutter experience of a chain motel for a one of a kind, authentically nautical overnight experience (with all the quirks that entails) this is the place for you.

Breakfast was to die for, and the wine a fantastic added bonus;-) I have never felt more at home while on vacation- and that is NOT an exaggeration! The boat is well kept, clean, and oh so comfortable. It was such a unique way to spend our anniversary- I cannot wait to bring our daughter back for a weekend adventure and would recommend a stay to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary.

It was everything we could have asked for, a memory we'll always cherish and something we hope to do again next time we want to go fishing in the Sarasota/Siesta Key area.
