On waterside, queen bed and a full bath (shower). Below deck; second bedroom (2 full beds + its own full bath (shower). Tropical vegetation. No wake zone.

Yvonne was wonderful and made our family vacation on the boat feel effortless from start to finish. The boat was very well stocked with all the necessities—coffee, towels, and everything we needed to be comfortable. The location is absolutely prime, close to almost everything, which made getting around easy. We also loved the live music from Guanabanas next door; it added to the atmosphere and never interfered with bedtime. I did see a comment about the age of the boat, and while it isn’t brand new, it was cozy, well cared for, and clearly loved. Yvonne is constantly updating it and adding new touches, which really shows. We’d happily stay again.

Great location

First of all, it's a boat. Some people may not understand the compromises that entials, but for those that do, this is a great place to stay. The location was over-the-top fabuluous and we caught nice fish right off the fantail.

Paradise Found

I cannot say enough good things about this adventure! Check-in was the easiest ever. Beautiful and peaceful area with friendly people. The boat was clean and comfy and well stocked. Incredible sunrise and be able to walk out in the morning and start fishing was an added bonus! Best sleep in ages. We will definitely be back!

Houseboat with a view

Nice. Loud Friday & Saturday nite with band and music at restaurant next door. Super convenient location. This is a houseboat, with small spaces for 2 toilets, and old school pumps… For father and adult son weekend trip this was fun.

Perfect get away!

Yvonne’s houseboat was well appointed with many convenient features - good shades for privacy and sun control, localized fans for cooling and very comfortable beds and sheets. We loved her kayak and listening to the live music coming from nearby Guanabanas. What you need to understand is this is a boat and has boat plumbing - with all that it entails.

Jupiter house boat

Views great.. very very convenient to walk to restaurants.deli etc. Could be updated ..less clutter..BIG BED AND COMFY....2nd bedroom misleading its a crawl space none of my visitors would stay there. A rather large person would have trouble walking on the narrow side of boat for entry or to go to the LOVELY decks. I had to leave early due to no cems bugs..I was bitten alive..and possible smell on boat..A C and fan works GREAT but boat does get very hot in the afternoon.. needs better direction re: television....It was an experience..like camping on the water...if you don't get bit by bugs easily ..this maybe your place...

Great spot to stay for the area.

Had a really great time on the houseboat. Super relaxing and an amazing location. Only bad thing I can think of was the AC in the master bedroom is super loud but if you keep the bedroom door open the main AC does a good enough job to cool the place down. It was a good experience and would definitely rent again.

Beautiful scenery with peace and quiet ......boat living is different from home

This property is located in a wonderful location with lots of activities, food in walking distance....the view from the boat is so peaceful and beautiful with water on 3 sides. The property is in need of some upgrading ....the bath and bedrooms are typical of a smaller boat and therefore small. Living , dining and kitchen space was very comfortable........Owners were very accomodating ......

About the host

Hosted by Yvonne and Dominic Addairo

Host profile image
Yvonne And Captain Dominic Addario. We have been Jupiter residents for over 20 years. We are authors and locally known as undersea explorers and owners of a 17th Century Shipwreck just off Jupiter inlet. Captain Addario has been a marina owner and knows the boating business to help those who wish to fish, dive, snorkel or pleasure cruise/sail. We both run and maintain commercial property known as Explorers Vacation Club at 'The Jupiter River Inn'.

If you wish to invite more guests than this our cottage can accommodate, you may consider also renting our 2019 RV. It sleeps four+ with one bath and one bedroom and it is next door to the cottage. It is listed on VRBO #1794355 as Waterside Retreat.

Why they chose this property

On the water! Private back deck. Everything is close; churches, restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and the beach. Yet, we live in a tranquil tropical type setting which makes our place unique.

What makes this property unique

Living under a live oak hammock on a scenic river bank creates the prefect relax location of our house boat. It sits far enough away from A1A/Ocean Blvd that it becomes hidden from the outside world. Experience Old Florida as it use to be. A slice of Paradise Found.

TRANSPORTATION: You can fly into two airports. The closest is West Palm Beach PBI, then take a 20 minute uber ride to Sea Chateau. Or fly into Fort Lauderdale for less money, but then you would have to rent a car or take a 60 mile uber ride. Use Zeek's 6 -seater golf-cart taxi if you don't care to walk. He works for tips only ! Bikes for rent on property.
