The Space
Turnip has a cool feel and is great for someone who wants a genuine, interesting houseboat experience yet still all the comforts of home. She has a junk style design, which is a common in Asia, a great roof for sitting on, and hobbity archways inside that really create the space.
Guest Access
You will have access to the place all yourself. I will have shower items for you, towels, sheets, etc.
Access to the boat is via a self-check in process. All access and reservation instructions will be included in the confirmation email. In addition, an email with this same houseboat manual as a PDF will be emailed about 5-7 days prior to your reservation.
Interaction with Guests
Just a phone call away for whatever you need.
The Neighborhood
The area sits conveniently close to downtown Seattle and tucked between South Lake Union and Fremont. For those checking out the city, this is a great location. For those on business, it is also convenient and comfortable. The closest grocery store is about a mile away in Fremont (PCC) so keep that in mind.

Other Things to Note
- It's important to know that this is a boat and not a house, and that's its charm. While it does have everything you will need, its not like living in a house - doors are smaller, toilets are funny, stairs are steep, and sometimes the boat rocks.
- The ceiling height is not standard, max 7', plus there are a few smaller accesses to different parts of the house. If you are very tall, you may find this irritating. The entrance to the boat requires bending and stepping down. If you have physical difficulties, this may not be the best match.
- I have 4 kayaks and 1 kayak/paddle board conversion available first come, first serve.
- There is a little cafe at the marina which does has WIFI, coffee, beer, wine. It is not open weekends.
- 5-7 days before your reservation the Property Manager will reach out via email to provide the houseboat manual and entering instructions.
- Parking is available in the parking lot directly out front the marina office building.
