We're researching a family house boat vacation in FL next winter. This would be in the Sanibel Island, Captiva, (Fort Meyers) area. I've found some boat rental places (one was featured on the Travel Channel) that sound good. I'm mainly looking for reviews, opinions, tips, etc. Can anyone help or give me a _link_ where I can find more information like this? I want to know what other families have done, what the pros and cons are, etc.

We've never house boated before.

Thanks!

Michelle
