Whether you’re looking for an enchanting couple’s getaway, an adventurous weekend, or a serene staycation, you’ll find it here.

Our designer suite with Williams-Sonoma decor is equipped with all the modern amenities you’d have at home, plus a little extra. Upon check-in, receive your personalized welcome amenities.

Then settle into your cozy, spacious primary bedroom adorned with deluxe features. Start and end each day on an award-winning Helix Midnight Lux mattress and premium Brooklinen sheets. Take our word for it – this might be the best sleep of your life.

Speaking of starting and ending each day right, we’ve positioned FLOHOM 1 | Bay Escape for the most magical sunrises and sunsets. Early birds can wake up at dawn to perch on the outdoor deck and watch the show. Bonus points if you enjoy it with a hot coffee brewed from our Fellow drip coffee station.
FLOHOM days hold infinite potential, from curated experiences within the home to special community adventures recommended through your FLOHOM guest app.

We believe that you should have access to nature, well-being, and excitement no matter where you go. That’s why our home features wellness amenities, scenic outdoor decks, and indoor and outdoor spaces for remote work.

The luxury bath is equipped with a large walk-in shower and vanity. The washer/dryer combo makes it easy to pack light.

As the moon illuminates Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, there’s no better place to be than atop the rooftop. Climb the spiral stairs to enjoy a tea or nightcap beneath the stars. It’s the perfect way to get lost in the current of this unforgettable floating getaway.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE

FLOHOM's gentle movement or sway in response to the currents and winds is part of the unique experience we offer. It allows you to truly go with the flow and immerse yourself in the tranquil rhythm of the water. Our houseboats are thoughtfully designed to ensure stability and minimize excessive movement. Many guests find the gentle sway adds to the charm and relaxation, but if you have a history of motion sickness, we recommend considering your comfort level beforehand.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Welcome to the vibrant and historic neighborhoods of Federal Hill and Inner Harbor, two of Baltimore, Maryland’s most iconic areas, each offering a distinct taste of the city’s rich culture and heritage.

Federal Hill, set on the South Baltimore peninsula, is a treasure trove of American history. A walk through its tree-lined streets is akin to stepping back into the 19th century, with the boasting stunning period architecture. As the heart of this neighborhood is Federal Hill Park, a lush hilltop haven offering panoramic views of the Baltimore skyline and the neighboring Inner Harbor.

This community is buzzing with life, hosting a collection of trendy bars, boutiques, art galleries, and eclectic restaurants. Make sure to visit Cross Street Market, a modern reincarnation of the historical marketplace, where local vendors serve a diverse menu of culinary delights.

On the other side of the water sits the Inner Harbor, the city’s primary entertainment and tourism hubspot. The waterside community features attractions such as the National Aquarium, Maryland Science Center, and the USS Constellation. Stroll along the scenic promenade to encounter lively street performances, or take to the water in a paddleboat or Baltimore Water Taxi for picturesque city views. When the sun dips below the horizon, the Inner Harbor truly comes to life; its many restaurants, bars, and entertainment complex lights up the night.

Federal Hill and Inner Harbor are well-connected, offering convenient public transportation options for exploring the wider city. But perhaps one of the standout features of these neighborhoods, especially for sports fans, is their proximity to Camden Yards and M&T Bank stadium, home to the Baltimore Orioles and Ravens. Within walking distance from the stadiums is FLOHOM 1 | Bay Escape, the ideal lodging option for any sports enthusiast. Imagine spending an exhilarating day cheering on your favorite team, then strolling back to your comfortable accommodations without the hassle of navigating traffic or searching for public transportation.

Whether you’re a history enthusiast, foodie, sports fan, or just looking to immerse yourself in the local culture, choosing to stay at FLOHOM 1 | Bay Escape in the heart of Baltimore’s Federal Hill and Inner Harbor neighborhoods ensure a memorable experience filled with excitement, convenience, and comfort.

Best Vacation Home Ever
PERFECT house to enjoy the inner harbor. Even though it is as close as you can get to the heart of Baltimore, the houseboat location on the water is quieter than a downtown apartment - quiet enough to spend every evening watching the sunset over the city from the rooftop deck, enjoying your own snacks and light meals. My wife and teenage kids were delighted with this surprise location on our summer vacation! We've stayed in vacation homes in many locations, and this tops them all for the unique experience and quiet marina surroundings. I'll be looking for houseboats now for future vacations, and also might add marina life to the list of possible future retirement plans.

Best way to experience inner harbor
Staying on the boat was amazing! The views were endless from the top deck and the inside of the boat felt like staying at a 5 star hotel. Brian was super attentive and responsive throughout the check-in process and our entire stay. The boat was near several fun things to do as well, between the museums, restaurants and getting around town was a breeze thanks to the water taxis. Can't wait to stay on another Flohom!

Best Location and View in Town
A weekend on this houseboat made it easy to understand why Baltimore enjoys the nickname 'Charm City'! I recently stayed on board with my wife and two sons while visiting a friend on Federal Hill. The views were incredible and the location was unbeatable. We had easy access to the Inner Harbor and an abundance of local attractions, to say nothing of our front row seats to the Chinese Dragon Boat races. Brian was super helpful and the boat was immaculate and graciously outfitted...we are already trying to figure out how quickly we can make a return visit. There is no better way to experience Baltimore at its very best!

No words!
FLOHOM 1 was above and beyond what we expected! It was so well appointed. The smallest thing, like the soaps and lotions to the top notch kitchen amenities. Even a completely full drawer of organic spices. The boat was like staying in a 5 star hotel but surrounded by wate, starry nights, cool breezes and Lucerne bedding to boot. Definitely will be looking for another FLOHOM when we travel again!
