Perfect little house boat!

If you’re looking for a unique place to stay in the keys then don’t hesitate to book The Dolphin. It’s clean, has all the essentials and is close to some great snorkeling, diving, kayaking, fishing and restaurants! We loved spending time on the top deck of the house boat and even had a manatee visit us one afternoon! We look forward to staying here again!

Fun spot to stay for a few nights. Actually a little bit bigger inside than it looks in the pictures. Kids loved it.

Perfect Floating House

Have you ever wanted to stay on a floating house? This is the perfect opportunity to try it! This little house had everything that my husband and I needed to enjoy our day trips to the other Keys. We did enjoy sitting on the patios in the early mornings to enjoy the wonderful views. During the day, we went exploring to the other Keys for breakfast, shopping, stopped off at Bahia Honda Park for beach time and late lunches. In the evenings, the bar in the Marina was hopping with a fire pit and music. They did turn off the music around 11. I do recommend having Dramamine on hand incase the winds pick up and it is rough. This only happened for a few hours one night, but I wish I had something to help me. I highly recommend this for two adults and maybe smaller kids that could use the loft. If we go back to the Keys for vacation, we will definitely stay here again!

Beautiful location and wonderful staff.

The Dolphin sits on the end corner of a pier. We had a view of boats coming and going A great view of several house boats parked across the bay. It was so relaxing. It was quiet, a slow time so not many other renters around us. And Key Largo and Tavernier were not congested The sunset was beautiful from the upper deck and the lower deck provided shade in the heat of the day. It was picturesque all day but especially as the moon was a beautiful backdrop of the boats in the marina. We spotted what looked like a white bottle cap and at closer inspection it was a tiny jelly fish. We also saw anemones that look like cauliflower from the lower deck. We checked out a few local restaurants hidden off the main road. We will debate be back to explore more of the keys.
