Fun!

We loved staying on the boat. It was fun watching all the boats going through the canal as we sat on the deck. We will stay again if we’re back to Key Largo. The host and property manager both responded quickly to our questions.

Unique environment on the houseboat and beautiful place to enjoy the morning coffee!

Really fun adventure to stay on the houseboat. Marie, the host was very responsive and engaged. Was pleasantly surprised it really looked as advertised and was clean and inviting. Would definitely stay there again, plenty of room for a family of four or a foursome of friends!

Honeymoon

Honeymoon In Key Largo for two nights for fishing and exploring. Wanted to have the experience of staying on a houseboat. We really enjoyed. I think it would be big enough for us to bring our family next time. Plenty of room.

Awesome Alternative to a Normal Property

We were worried about deciding to do the houseboat rental because my wife is a landlubber but it was an excellent overall experience. Hanging out on the multiple outdoor areas was so enjoyable and indoors was comfortable and high-end. Nice, cold A/C too!!! Highly recommend to anybody looking for something different in the Keys.

An Unexpected Surprise

It was and unexpected surprise when we arrived at the houseboat(our first ever) all of its 70’.The beds were so comfortable. The bathrooms were both very spacious and clean. It was like being in a condo on the water. The upper deck was very relaxing place to watch the boats. We appreciate the care and personal touch provided.

House boat in Key Largo!

First time in Key Largo and we stayed a couple nights on a house boat. Great find! Spacious, clean and fun. Lots to do in the area and plenty of restaurants near by. Marie was welcoming and attentive. Condo complex next door was friendly and shared their pool and conversation. Great time!

Wonderful Relaxing Getaway

Marie was a great host with wonderful communication. She had everything you could ever need already in the boathouse. It was clean and the sleeping arrangements were very comfortable. We were 3 women looking for a relaxing getaway and mission definitely accomplished here. The location is safe and close to a lot, water sports can be purchased right in the parking lot of nearby hotel. I absolutely refer this property, you will not be disappointed.

A Keys Delight

What a special offering: a spacious, well equipped houseboat with all the amenities for a great time in comfortable surroundings. From the interactions with management to the layout of the vessel itself, this is a haven in an often too commercialized Key Largo that will appeal to both couples and small parties. Two thumbs up!

Fabulous Houseboat

Four days of perfection! Our group of 3 adults had plenty of room to enjoy canal life on a big houseboat. My son is a chef so he enjoyed grilling dinner onboard. During the day we went on a snorkeling expedition to a coral reef, another day we rode on the African Queen! Upper deck beautiful for sunning and star gazing.

Great place to stay!

The houseboat was extremely comfortable and well appointed. It’s in a great location, a short drive to Pennekamp park but in the same marina as many of the dive and fishing boats that head out to the reef. The kayaks were great to have to explore the immediate area. You do have to get used to the boat moving and bumping against the dock if the wind kicks up but it’s very comfortable and we slept well regardless. Marie was an excellent host, very flexible and responsive. It was a great stay, highly recommended!

Simply perfect

My husband, daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay on the houseboat. We took advantage of every amenity. There was plenty of room and all of the furnishings were comfortable. We saw dolphin, manatee, shark, stingray, and lots of fish. Enjoyed watching boats go by. Great location, lots of walkable restaurants. Marie was a great hostess and easy to communicate with. We will be back for sure!

Did not stay

We arrived and the property was not clean. Contacted the owner and he was very friendly. He lived 5 hours out of the area and was not aware of the issues. After 3 hours I had my refund so we could book at a nearby hotel.
