It was a nice and different experience instead of typical hotel or condo. The only downfall was that boat was leaning quite a bit and the water noise hitting the stern was too loud to sleep at night. Overall I really enjoyed the stay as we need to see different things in life and this was one of them. Next time I will stay in Grey Lady. Thanks.

The houseboat was quaint. Plenty of space for two people, and could easily sleep 4-5. The bathroom was tiny. But one could easily take a shower at the pool. We got there after hours so there was an envelope for us to tell us where to go, etc. The property has a cute sand bar with live music which you could hear from the deck of the boat, but it wasn’t terribly loud, and the tubes were great. The office could make money by selling individual tide pods (or similar) for the laundromat. Some folks were residents, some tourists like us. Everyone was super friendly.

Really nice visit.

All three adults enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable. The back deck was delightful. The people that work there are very friendly and helpful. You are close to other boats but no one was loud. I’m a light sleeper so I wore ear plugs. There is a place to eat, soft live music and drinks next door. I would stay here again.

We stayed in the Grey Lady and it was the perfect slip! Quiet, views of the bay/mooring field/mangroves. Limited kitchen amenities if you are "eating in". All staff friendly and helpful. WiFi sketchy.

Family Weekend

We normally stay in hotel rooms when we travel, so we thought it would be fun to try a house boat when I saw the option. We had all the comforts that a hotel provides, but with a way cooler atmosphere. Our only disappointment it that we didn't stay long enough to try the pool and restaurant. Good experience. We'd stay again.

Unique Stay

We had a fantastic time. The accommodations were very unique and we enjoy them greatly! The only negative thing was that it did rain a lot one day and the roor leaked a little.But besides that everything was great and we enjoyed our stay completely.

Great place for a family!

Loved it here!! Aimee reached out to us ahead of time to make sure we understood all of their policies, and find out if we would be checking in late or not, and then confirmed with a phone call the day of. The houseboat was clean, with a small kitchenette (microwave, fridge, sink, dishes). A/C was already going! The towels were brand new and the view was exactly what we were looking for- a calm, peaceful marina with gentle waves lapping at the docks and the sunset on full display. Walking distance to the Blonde Giraffe Key Lime Factory, and a short drive to the Winn-Dixie. Plenty of places to eat nearby, or well equipped to eat a quiet meal in. Definitely will recommend to friends and family!

The house boat has a good location, located at the end of the dock however it does serve as a buffer for high winds and wavy seas so you will experience a lot more than other houseboats located interior to this one. Also, you’re basically in a tin can as far as the walls where you can hear everything and all the neighbors can hear you. We do like all the separate living spaces and how they are utilized really nicely. Decker is up-to-date and amenities provided inside of the houseboat are what you would expect. We did have issues initially connecting the TV in the evening time to get it working properly, but Aimee the manager was easy to get a hold of after hours and talk to us through getting everything working properly. We are a family of four with two teenagers and had plenty of space to put our two teams in the loft area that has twin beds and for us to stay in the bedroom and during the daytime enjoy the living area when we were actually in the houseboat and not driving around the sightseeing.

This property appears to be going downhill. They advertise a restaurant and bar, but there is no restaurant and the bar only has beer (no set hours.) The people who live there year round on their boats are super nice but other than that it appears to need new management. The bar owner speaks no English and was playing really nasty music, which was blaring through the pool and had no clue what he was even playing. It could be super nice if the restaurant/bar were opened and new mgmt. It appears to be family owned and distention among the family members.
