Better than waterfront FL vacation!

A Destination Experience! Enjoy marina life on a houseboat. Stay right on the beautiful Indian River Lagoon where you can see: dolphins, manatees, rays, fish, birds and much more wildlife in their natural habitat while you lounge on the houseboat, a 1976 42 foot Gibson, that has been lovingly restored in 2021. Lot's of windows with marina and lagoon views. A cozy boat with appox. 560sq ft of indoor living space and 1000sq ft of out door spaces including a relaxing upper deck. The boat as one bedroom with a queen bed and in the salon/living area there is a oversized love seat that convert to a twin bed. The boat is equipped with a large galley that is stocked with dishes, utensils, pots, pans, bowls, coffee cups, etc. There is a full size refrigerator/freezer with ice cube making trays a two burner stove top and a microwave. The pantry cabinet has some basic spices, coffee (in freezer), sugar and creamer. You will share the dock with other boaters, that are either there long term or short visits so lot's of other "boaties" around. There are 2 AC units on the boat when it gets hot and heating when it gets cold. Extra blankets available as well. There are opening windows with screens and shades throughout the boat. (Please be sure to close if you leave the marina, as rain showers do pop up!) There is a smart TV that you can add your Netflix/Hulu/ Prime. etc. account and keep current with all your shows. There are two USB chargers aboard, one in salon, one in bedroom. The marina sometimes has live music events, fishing tournaments, seafood fests and other events throughout the year (check their calendar for event schedules) The marina has many features: bar, food trucks, jet ski/boat rentals, fishing charters, beach bike rentals, entertainment and more! Walk to beach, restaurants, museums and more! (sorry boat does not leave the dock)
While staying on" Dolphin" (name of the houseboat) I want you to enjoy your stay on the water in Causeway Cove Marina! I want you to enjoy the beautiful Indian River lagoon and all the wildlife you may encounter. I want you to thoroughly enjoy your experience of staying on an antique houseboat, old Florida style! But I need your cooperation and understanding of how boat life works. It isn't as easy as unlocking your hotel room door. This is a destination experience, but to enjoy it all, there are some guidelines I am trusting you to adhere too while you enjoy your time on my boat. With that being said, lets dive in!
Life is better barefoot when on the boat, no shoes worn when on the boat. Everyone in your party MUST be steady on their feet/agile, the boat moves with the water. (great for sleeping!) This is why this is not a good location for children under 12 years old or pets. The decks can/will be wet in the mornings and during rain. Host nor marina are liable for any slips or falls. The bathroom and marina life: There is a bathroom with a nice large shower, but only #1 allowed on the boat, but no worries! There are very nice marina facilities a short walk from the boat (couple 100 feet). The shower on the boat requires a pump to be on while using it to discharge used water. Instructions on the boat. (full instructions on the boat. Your host is just a phone call away and can also meet and teach everyone in your party upon check in if you wish).
Even though "Dolphin" is new to hosting guests as of 2022, she has already had many guests who have all loved the experience and hope to return again. I wish the same for you and your guests!
Please note, I can not control the weather. No refunds will be given due to rain, winds, waves. It is a boat, that is half the fun! You also agree to adhere to all posted signage within the marina, such as no fishing areas, parking areas, etc.
