  My wife and I absolutely loved our stay at the Red Grouper. The accomodations were great and the staff made us feel like home. The sunrises and sunsets were gorgeous from the floating deck or top deck. The Blue Angels welcomed us with a few flyovers when we arrived as the air show was going on that weekend. We were hoping to see the manatee but we did see a few tarpon (we thought it was a shark) surface a few times during the week. We did most of the tourist stuff and ate at Margaritaville, Sloppy Joes and the Hurricane Hole (catch of the day was red grouper...mmm). We rented bikes and rode all over the island. We enjoyed the pristine beach at the state park and plan on spending more time there next year! Did I say next year? Oh yea, we're coming back! Thank you Stock Marina staff and management for a great week at Key West! Bill and Cindy

  We stayed in the Red Grouper over spring break and had a fabulous time. The house boat was clean and had everything we needed for a successful vacation. We sat on the top deck as well as the deck off the back of the boat. We rented bikes from the Recycle bike shop just down the street and enjoyed several lunches at Hurricane Hole. It was an easy bike ride to Duval Street and all of the sights of Key West. If you are looking for a quiet vacation spot The Red Grouper is for you! We are already planning our trip for next spring.

  Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers.

  Owner response: We are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay aboard the Red Grouper and can not wait to have you back for another vacation. Thank you for your review, take care.

  We absolutely loved our stay at the Red Grouper! It is well situated for easy access into the sites & sounds of Key West, but is a wonderfully quiet retreat from the crowds. The photos & description were perfect... it was exactly what we were expecting and hoping for. In fact, I felt the main living area was larger than the pictures suggest, which was nice. Restaurants and grocery stores are all very nearby, so we enjoyed a great mix of dining out and cooking for ourselves. Our 2 favorite restaurants were right there on Stock Island - Hogfish Bar & Grille and Hurricane Joes. The sites and sounds of the marina were wonderful... lots of bird watching and even a visiting manatee. One of the fishing guides at the marina called us over when he turned on fresh water for the manatee to drink... it was an awesome 'show'! Loved the back dock and the upper deck for coffee in the morning and sundowners in the evening... the sunsets were beautiful!! We loved the gentle rocking of the boat, but anyone prone to motion sickness should be aware that it is always moving a bit. I hope to have the opportunity to return to Key West and stay at the Red Grouper.... it was the perfect vacation.

  Coming from dry New Mexico, we wanted to be surrounded by water. The Red Grouper was perfect for us. It was very clean, organized, pet friendly for our small dog, a fishing delight, not to mention the beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Each night the houseboat rocked us to sleep. And it was lots of fun to watch boats coming in and out of the harbor. This is a working harbor so we saw all kinds of boats, people, and activity. The owners are going the extra mile to make Stock Island Marina Village a fun unique experience. We hope we can return someday. And yes, it is a very quick bike ride to Key West.

  Our trip was delayed due to Tropical storm Debby. But once we were able to arrive we Loved everything about the Red Grouper! We have been traveling to Key West for over 20 yrs and really enjoyed the experience of staying on a houseboat! Our favorite thing to do was watch the sunsets from the rooftop. Also getting to party the Green turtle neighbors was awesome. Thanks for the Tequila! Cant wait to stay again!!

  Owner response: Gald you had such a wonderful time, we sure enjoyed have you stay with us. Thank you for the positive comments. Please think of us for your next trip to Key West.

  My wife, my brother in law, our dog Tux and I all had a great time. We caught plenty of fish from the kayak and the red grouper. There is always something interesting to see in the marina and in Key West near by. Bring or rent some bikes or mopeds. Wish we could have stayed longer. Too bad there is no special rate for a month or longer. Note: The max stay is set at three weeks.

  Owner response: Thank you for your positive commets, we sure enjoyed having you. We will be looking in to longer term rentals for the future, please keep us in mind for your next trip to Key West.

  My husband and I stayed on the Red Grouper while visiting family in Key West and we loved it! The condo was very clean and well maintained, and very cute and cozy. We felt right at home! And great customer service! Anytime we had a question or concern, someone was always available immediately. I was also very happy with the quality of the A/C since we visited in the summer. It kept the place real nice and cool after a long warm day of sight seeing. I only wish that the condo included some fishing poles or beach gear, since we had to buy our own at the local kmart for a one week trip. The thing we loved most was being right on the water! My husband would fish off the dock every day. He even caught a shark and barracuda off the dock! We made use of the full kitchen and outside grill and had shark ceviche and steaks one night and had barracuda for dinner another night. We also used the kayak that comes with the rental for transportation to my in-law's sailboat and just to have fun in the marina! It is not within walking distance to Key West, but we rented a two person scooter for the week and it was so much fun! One of the few places in the US where travel by scooter is so popular, I would highly recommend it! I would also recommend trying the Hogfish Bar and Grill! It is within walking distance (or a very short scooter ride), and is one of the most popular restaurants in Key West. The coolest thing we did in Key West was the trip to the Dry Tortugas National Park on the Yankee Freedom Ferry. It is a long boat ride, but includes breakfast, lunch, drinks, and snorkel gear. If you have a full day, I would recommend this short trip over any other attraction - it is well worth the money! Overall, great place to stay and one of the best trips I've taken! We will hopefully be back again to stay on the Red Grouper!

  Owner response: Glad to you hear you had such a great time on the Red Grouper. We look forward to seeing you again.
