About this property

Hi there and welcome to our Bonnie -vie! She's anchored about 3/4 mi from the base marina in a beautiful cove. The BOAT STAYS anchored. I'll be there to take you out to the boat, and get you settled in. We would like to say, that we've really put a lot of effort into making your stay as relaxing and fun as possible! the boat isn't perfect, so if you're a picky, high maintenance, needy sort of individual, this may not be the adventure for you. The Hilton or Marriott down the road, for three times the price, should have availability however.) It's been our observation, that this adventure has been best suited for kids 50 years of age and under. We ask that you**Please call** if you have any questions !! The wildlife is often jaw dropping, and often times you'll have manatee or dolphins stop by for a visit! The boat is stocked with everything you'll need) coffee maker, coffee,filters, water, seasonings,olive oil, etc... You'll have a smooth running generator to power everything (8hrs run time/day) and a propane grill to cook up your favorite steak or lobster! There is running water with a shower (not heated). Fishing off the back has proven to be super, for the rite fisher person of course. For a little more money, we have several motorized dinghy options available for you that make back and forth easier, and exploring super fun! Please see pictures in description. Thanks so much for your interest! We really look forward to seeing you soon!! Thanks and have a great day !! *The address is 299 Morris Ave Pelican Kay Campground *. **ATTENTION out of COUNTRY GUESTS ** as we pride ourselves in a clear line of communication, it is expected in return from our guests as well.

25th Anniversary Getaway

My husband and I enjoyed our 2 night stay on the Bonne Vie (which means "Good Life" in French). It was the good life for us - he was able to fish off the back and I read books on the front of the boat. When it got too hot we could jump in the water to cool off! There are lots of great restaurants to try in Key Largo and we took a cooler of snacks for the boat. There are mosquitos in the evening - but we enjoy camping (and there are always mosquitos when camping) so a little bug spray did the trick! Mark was an excellent host and made sure we had everything we needed - including a sweet anniversary gift! If you enjoy the outdoors and adventures then you will enjoy the Bonne Vie!

If you are looking for a great outdoor venture, love Mother Nature and want the best outdoor water experience, this boat is for you. It is like staying in an old cabin on the water and will discriminate the typical hotel stay. The fishing, kayaking to the tiki hut through the everglades to Manatee Marks Private Secret TikiHut! It will blow your mind!!! Traveling by way of dinghy to the Manatee Bay Beach was additionally, a fabulous, one of a kind experience!! Pick Manatee Mark’s Brian he’ll give you the best local restaurants an bars with bands and ask him about Cupcake Island!!!

It was unique. And beautiful. And just as described.

Wondering what to make of the mixed reviews on this one? This is a unique & beautiful stay, just as described in the listing. It's also NOT fancy, and NOT for everyone, also as described. My wife & I stayed aboard for 2 nights. I'm the rustic tent-camping type, and I loved it. My wife is the city-slicker type, and she did not. Both were as expected. We both agreed the location in a quiet cove was perfectly calm. We both loved sitting on the water thru the evening hours, just relaxing. I also loved the simplicity and no-frills aspect of the stay. There was a chair. And shade. Mark was early, kind and accommodating. Linens were clean. Generator fired right up to provide morning coffee. Who could ask for anything more? My wife. She's not high-maintenance, but she has standards. Like a standard flush toilet. And better bug protection. And real running water. And normal electricity. And... you get the idea. Day one was lovely. After that, she couldn't wait to get back to shore! So, you'll probably either love it or hate it, because it's just like Mark's description on the listing. If you like peace and don't mind rustic... If you have low expectations for your accommodations... If you're comfy sleeping in old boats or RV's... If you liked Mel Gibson's camper on the beach in Lethal Weapon... You'll love this place! If you don't... reread the listing. Thanks again, Mark, for a stress-free stay!

Camping on the water with million dollar views

We had a great time staying on the boat while down in the keys for scuba certification. Mark communicated with us well. We recommend adding the dinghy rental to your trip to get back and forth to land and to cruise around and sight see. The cove was quiet and very peaceful at night. We put the mattress outside and slept under the stars (and mosquito net, provided). For a no frills adventure, this was great for us! Thank you

Mini vacation

It’s like Mark says, the boat is not a hotel, she is Quant and rustic, quiet and peaceful with opportunity to fish all day long. Being on the water to absorb nature and the creatures of the sea was a wonderful experience. The owner Mark was very accommodating to our needs.
