About this property

Off-Grid Islamorada Stay

Escape to your own private floating retreat in Islamorada, surrounded by nature and endless starry skies. This off-grid houseboat offers total seclusion—no neighbors, just peace and beauty. Perfect for nature lovers and stargazers. Please note: Guests may arrive on their own vessel or boar rental options are available, dock access is 200 yards from our mooring. Enjoy unmatched tranquility in the heart of the Florida Keys.
Minimum stay 2 nights.

The space
Our houseboat is totally self contained. We store rainwater in large tanks. We ask our guest to conserve our water by limiting showers to 5 minutes. Please make sure all spigots are properly closed at all times. House water is for shower use only. (Non-potable) We are equipped with an ‘instant on’ LP gas water heater for your comfort.
5 gallon jugs of spring-water are supplied for consuming and brushing teeth.
Electrical power is supplied by solar panels and a large battery bank. We ask guests to conserve energy, when possible. We have a small, gas, generator which turns ‘on’ automatically when batteries are low. We are equipped with one 12,000 btu a/c in the salon area and one 9000 BTU a/c in the master bedroom. Coffee maker and microwave oven in kitchen.
We are equipped with a portable gas BBQ grill which may be used on the forward deck or the stern deck (exterior only). No cooking, smoking or live flames within the interior of the houseboat.

Guest access
All living quarters are open to our guests. The top sky deck is also open for sun bathing and stargazing. The stern roof where solar panels are installed are off limits. Please take note.

Other things to note
The forward main entrance door is extremely heavy and robust.
Please take great care not to let it swing in the freely. On a cool breezy day please use the cord strap fastened to the rail post near the door to loop around the doorknob to hold it in place.

Alex went above and beyond as a host! We arrived an hour late due to traffic and unprepared with boat transit. Alex ferried us to and from the houseboat with luggage, ensured we had food, and helped in seeking to secure a kayak. Also, awesome location, unique experience, and well-appointed houseboat with all amenities. Fully deserves 5 stars! Will recommend to others.

This was our first trip to the keys and I dont think it could have been better! We snorkeled every day, there were amenities we didn't expect- like kayaks and a large floating island/mat the kids loved. The weather was great- we slept out under the stars on the sun deck a couple of the nights. We brought a crockpot with pre made meals in gallon ziplocs for main meals, and the microwave/coffee maker worked for anything else. The boat listed a little to one side, so just make sure you sleep with your head in the higher direction. The views were amazing, and we loved not being tied to a dock- neighbors close enough to feel safe but far enough to enjoy seclusion in the wild.I over packed not knowing what to expect being there, so here are a few other notes:-Shower was well stocked with with various options of shampoo/conditioner/body wash-Kitchen had cutlery, paper plates, cups, mugs, cleaning supplies, coffee & truvia, plus anything else I could think of. -There were enough towels for us to each to use one for the salt water and one for showers. -Life vests, dive flag, horn, whistles and other safety gear on board. -Extra chairs to sit on the patio, living room, and top deck-There were even a couple fishing poles (bring live bait)-Plenty of pillows and blankets-Had two kayaks- one single and a double.Alex was a phenomenal host, made checking in and out easy and was great with the kids going to and from. Felt like family and cant wait to visit again!
