It was our first time on a houseboat, and we truly enjoyed it. We had a little bit of a hiccup, but the property manager was so quick to fix it. And really enjoyed the stay and the accommodations. We definitely will be back again.

Fun Times on a Boat House
We loved our stay. Property was cute but tiny. The pictures showed a stove top, but our unit actually only had a type of camping stove that's electric so that part was weird. Everybody was very nice. Wish the pub at the marina was a full bar.

Staying in the houseboat was fun and a different experience from the norm! A great time, loved the pool area, being on the water. Blow dryer issue a little bit of a challenge but not a deal breaker.

Cosy and clean
Spent here two wonderful days/ nights with my family. Houseboat is fully equipped as described and the host is very friendly and helpful. The only minus is the temporary bad smell when using the toilet flush, which is probably related to the marine toilet. We really liked the sunset view from the “veranda”.

Our first time on a house boat. It was definitely an experience. The boat is bigger than it looks and the gentle rocking at night made for great sleep. Everything was great and we will definitely be back.

My whole family fell in love with the boat life experience:) Perfect size for family of 4 (15 and 13 year old kids) Was fun to meet new people who were also there on vacation and just hang around marina but also close enough to activities to make little day trips. Will be back!

Meh….
A cool experience being on a boat but a few issues. The twin beds were uncomfortable and there was only a stained covering on the couch pullout so was unusable. The extra sheets were only for the twin beds. The tv in the bedroom didn’t connect to Netflix or other streaming services and the wifi was pretty weak, when I texted the after hours number for advice they never responded. We also lost power simply cooking dinner on the hot plate. The surrounding area was pretty noisy and the other boats are very close so could hear people coming and going a lot. The deck on the back was relaxing for a coffee and a book in the morning or cocktail at night. The pool area was nice and pool was clean and refreshing. There was an entertainment spot near there that had live music on Wednesday nights.

House boat - fun time.
Really a good stay. Two things to note. The shower in sea biscuit was really small. I fish and learned you cant fish from the boats. Which was not a major issue since i rented a kayak to fish, but in the evenings i would have enjoyed having a line out drinking a glass of wine. Overall it was a great experience

An experience we would do again!
From the moment of check-in with Mike, we were impressed with the the place. Everything was better than advertised. The houseboat was clean and perfect! Had we needed anything from the special type of toilet paper, extra towels or help with the TV, all concerns and questions were taken care of promptly. We honestly had such a good time that we just lounged around the houseboat the last two days of our stay. Perfect place to chill out! The only thing I'd do differently next time would be to cover the bedroom windows to make it darker for when I slept. However, it's a minor change and not something that would keep me from booking again. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Great new experience!
This whole trip to the Florida Keys was kind of an adventure for our family. We did things that we wouldn't normally do. Once of them being renting this houseboat. Everyone was great from check-in to check-out. We had an issue on the last morning of the breaker flipping. The manager was right there to help correct it. Our girls loved the pool. It was warm and that is how they like it. We would definately stay there again! Great experience.

We had a lovely time on the boat. It was well stocked with dishes, clean sheets, and towels. Pool was clean and nice temp. Issues prior guests noted in older reviews have been resolved including drip line for air conditioner and some very nice adirondeck chairs on the deck. Highly recommend this marina and houseboat.

Great getaway
Cute little houseboat for simple living. It was easy to socially distance and all staff vigilantly wore masks on the rare occasion we did need to get keys, etc. The great view of water makes even your morning coffee exponentially more relaxing. It even reset our sleep schedule because of the natural lighting. Perfect for a couple, maybe a small family.
