Not only was the houseboat comfortable clean and easily accessible, the host, Bill is a legend! Bill went out of his way to be more than accomodating for us on our trip which was the cherry on top of an otherwise perfect vacation. We will absolutely be staying here again in the future. 10/10 A rental.
Bill was a great host! The area where the boat was docked was very nice and peaceful! Beautiful views! They made sure you had everything you needed for your stay and more! Would return for sure!
This experience was absolutely wonder. Once we found the property (lol), we instantaneously felt the peace and serenity. The hosts were excellent as far as communication and accomodating our needs. This was a wonderful experience
We loved our location, loved that they had paddle boards for rent that we could use our whole stay, loved the peaceful water the houseboat was on, loved the easy access to area attractions, and loved how friendly and helpful our host was. The beds were comfortable. The only reason I didnât give all 5s is that The houseboat was expensive for its older condition and older neighborhood. It was not as nice as we would have hoped. That said, we had a wonderful stay and would recommend it.
This was a unique location away from the crowds of downtown and on the water of a beautiful, quiet bay. It worked well for us, we enjoyed the spaciousness, and it would work well for a family, but might be tight for 2 couples. It was a walk to restaurants and a Lyft ride into town, so a car or golf cart would have been nice, but we were ok walking the mile or so to eat at nearby restaurants, and getting a ride to and from town rather than rent a car and have to find parking. The only disappointment was the musty smell from water damage in the ceiling that hadnât been fixed yet, which is on the to-do list. But we enjoyed the decks and the kayaks while we were there, and Bill was very accommodating.
Located in a very quiet bay. Houseboat is super clean and Bill is great to work with - very responsive to questions and needs. There is not much in walking distance, so a golf cart (highly recommend), scooter, or bike would be necessary.
Hosts were awesome/highly responsive without being overbearing. Very friendly. Great location/beautiful setting. A bit obscure to find, but that just added to the charm. Awesome wildlife viewing! Easy access to all things Keys... Well supplied and comfortable. :-) Will return!!!
Our family (2 parents + teen) spent 3 nights on the houseboat and it totally exceeded our expectations! We loved getting up every morning and scanning the water around the boat to find all sorts of creatures. We saw many fish, starfish, nurse sharks and, best of all, a manatee from the boat!
Bill and Ben took care of everything we needed during our stay. We rented paddleboards directly from Bill which was a huge time saver. We used them each day of our stay and saw most of the bay during our limited time. Paddling to Hurricane Hole for lunch was a highlight. Bill also arranged a pink shrimp order for us to be delivered right to the property. Again, a time saver which was much appreciated.
The neighborhood where the boat is located is super quiet. A nice respite from Duval Street craziness yet still only a few minutes away from it if that's your thing. Best of both worlds.
I was a little nervous that a houseboat would not have a good bathroom and/or kitchen. This was not an issue at all. The complete kitchen stocked with every pot, pan dish we needed. The water was good and it was a nice hot shower.
Bill and Ben were amazing. So helpful with anything we wanted⊠Great location anything we needed at our finger tips. We had a great time playing cards on patio, boating to sand bar, parasailing , sunset cruise ,Paddle boarding and paddleball on the beach and more. đ
