STAY IN THE MOMENT

My wife Melissa and I stayed here for our wedding weekend at Ray's Boathouse. Being so close to Ray's was so convenient for us! On our wedding day, there was plenty of street parking for our vendors to come and go smoothly. My wife absolutely loved the natural lighting from all the large pane windows and the gorgeous views of the Sound while she was getting ready for the ceremony. The place was beautiful, incredibly clean, well-kept, and perfect for relaxing. Chanel made sure it was stocked with plenty of surplus supplies, so we never felt like we were running low on anything. Even though we were on the middle floor, it felt like we had a ton of privacy. We live in a condo and are used to upstairs noise, but the sound from upstairs here was very minimal. We loved sitting outside on the porch to watch the sunset together—and the cozy fleece blankets provided were very much appreciated! My new brother-in-law and I also loved playing chess with the beautiful glass chess set. The kitchen is a total pleasure to cook in, with plenty of cabinet and refrigerator space for bringing your own food, and I loved using all the ceramic cookware to make breakfast and dinner. As a big train enthusiast, it was a huge bonus being so close to the railroad tracks and watching the trains go by! For light sleepers, they thoughtfully provide a white noise machine and earplugs for the train noise, and the blackout curtains in the bedroom really help. The bed in the master bedroom was very comfortable. The bathrooms had amazing showers and floor heating, and we loved that each room had a dimmer switch. The bathroom mirrors even had different light temperature settings that you could easily switch between! I will say that the counter space in the bathrooms was a little limited, but with all the other amenities, we easily made it work. Our host, Chanel, was an absolute pleasure to work with! My wife really appreciated that with Chanel, it is truly all about the details. She added some personal touches that made us feel so welcome and ready for our wedding celebration the moment we first walked in. Working with Chanel felt less like a business transaction and much more personal, and she was always incredibly responsive to ensure we had a memorable weekend. We look forward to working with her again in the future. Thank you again for everything!
