Girls Weekend Getaway
Perfect place for our girls weekend. Location is great as well. We each had our own room and bathroom which was a plus. It was so nice to sit in the living room each morning while having our coffee telling stories about the night before. Salty Dogs is a great hole in the wall to start your nightly adventures. Be sure to bring towels and paper products as toilet paper and paper towels were limited. Enjoy!

Weekday fishing trip
Owner came on the property without warning while we were away. Totally against VRBO . Air conditioning went out and owner completely lost his composure . We left a day early.

Something Different
It's a great way to experience something different. It's a boat understand what your booking. Master suite was excellent, galley has plenty of space, and solon is well appointed. Flybridge gives you a nice outdoor space to hang out.

Unforgettable Experience
We had a wonderful weekend on the Southern Comfort. Sitting on the fly bridge was so perfect that we did not to want to leave to go to downtown Charleston. Sleeping accommodations other than in the main bedroom are very cramped for people taller than 5’8”.

We are not sorry we had this experience on a lively yacht, but we would most likely not rebook. Booked for 6 adults - only had towels for 4. Only 2 coffee mugs available. Overall, the Southern Comfort provided us with a memorable experience we enjoyed.

Small family wedding
Our daughter has a really small wedding - seven people total!!! Renting this yacht was perfect for our needs. Easy in and to go places we needed to go. The wedding actually took place on the top deck right before sunset and was lovely. The furniture in the lounge area was very comfortable and there was room for all of us. If you rent this boat remember it is an older boat. The owner is working to repair that are worn or have been abused by other renters but they posed no problems. We loved staying on such a classic boat.

Fun Book Club Experience
We spent two nights on the yacht at the end of our Savannah/Charleston trip. We enjoyed the unique experience of staying on a yacht and found the Southern Comfort to be a clean, well-organized VRBO. We did not cook much, but the kitchen was larger and better appointed than we had anticipated. Instructions from Matthew were clear and helped us settle in to our brief experience of living on a boat. Our only difficulties were bunks too short for adult men and air conditioning that was difficult to keep at a comfortable temperature. We also found the cost of vehicle parking at the marina to be somewhat high. All in all, a fun end to our trip!
