Amazing stay

How fun was it to stay on the houseboat!! It was so clean and so nice, and the beds were very comfortable. We had an incredible sunset one night and the next day a family of manatees was coming and going under the houseboat - it was magical!!

Short Stay

We wanted a place to stay for a couple of nights, and the houseboat fit the bill. We enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the sunset.

An amazing stop on our trip down the Keys

My wife and I had an amazing time during our houseboat stay. The boat was super clean and had every amenity you would need. The views of the sunset off the back of the boat were incredible and we enjoyed watching the stars from the upper deck as well. There is a beach bar on the property where we had happy hour and we also had some excellent food at a nearby restaurant. I can’t recommend a stay here highly enough.

Quick relaxing getaway

This place was beautiful and peaceful our only complaint would have to be that due to reservations with our Charter we were never able to resolve the issue with the TV in our room because we were gone before the office opened and Made it back after the office closed. Other than that everyone at the marina was kind and welcoming

Loved sitting on the back patio in the morning sun. The houseboat concept was unique for us and our grandchildren. The bar and restaurant were closed . Appears forever.

Relaxing unique getaway

The houseboat experience was a really unique getaway. We felt the “keys” vibe and enjoyed watching boats come in and out of the marina, looking for manatees and nurse sharks, and watching the sunset on the water. Great communication and very clean place. Will come back!
