Great stay at Grannie Sallie. Hosts were extremely helpful and proactive with information ahead of our stay. Location was phenomenal as we were able to walk to the marina and local fishing guides were able to pick us up at the dock. Houseboat was clean and had everything you needed and more, including an industrial ice machine. You can’t go wrong with a stay at Grannie Sallie.

My second four night stay this summer. Great location. Parking right in front of the lodging. Restaurant and fuel dock right next to the house boat. Charter captains will come and pick you up at your back door. Great ice machine to keep your catch cold. A stress free experience. You’ll enjoy the “Grannie Sallie” !!

Top shelf in every way!! The air conditioners had been turned on ahead of time and the place was very cool. Our charter captain could pull right up to the back dock and we could just step out of the door and onto the boat. Large ice machine on the deck was a really nice benefit. Didn’t do any cooking but the kitchen was full of everything that was needed. Can’t wait to go back!!

Guys Tuna Trip
The Grannie Sallie was perfect for our 2025 Tuna Trip, just a short walk from the restaurant and cleaning tables. The place was very clean and stocked up with all of the necessary pots, pans, utensils, etc. It slept 6 men comfortably and had a great porch with a large grill and fish cleaning table. We will be coming back.
