We loved our stay here - quiet and convenient location - utilizing the bikes and kayaks. We saw a lot of manatee and are so thankful for our time here. Highly recommend!
These boathouses were the coolest part of our vacation. They were spotless upon check in and kitchen area had everything you need for your stay.
Having coffee on the back of the house watching the Manatees was an added bonus!
Check in was quick and easy.
The location is perfect! Publix, along with bars, restaurants and other shopping is close by.
Really a fun experience floating on the marina in our private houseboat.
We were pleasantly surprised at how much storage room there was for our stuff, and the kitchen was pretty well stocked for making breakfast or lunch.
Daily visits from manatees and some other sea creatures (small sharks?) were very welcomed.
Location was central to all the various keys and attractions, including a beautiful beach just down the road.
The stay at the houseboat was Amazing ! Just relaxing on the boat watching the scenery and enjoying the manatees was perfect
The boat was very comfortable with everything you need
Only negative was the noise at night ( between delivery truck at Publix and the rooster, we also had a little bit of a sewer smell , as they had just pumped out the boats)
All in all a very positive experience and a beautiful setting

Staff was helpful and amazing at making our stay wonderful. Our little houseboat was so much fun. We loved sitting on the back outdoor patio and watching the manatees. So close to sombrero beach and all the things! Would be awesome for a small family or a couple

Great place to stay. We had boat 8. And every night we had a great sunset
Manetees in the water Dolphins came to visit
Joleen is the manager and she is super friendly and takes care of the place really well
Look forward to returning
this place far exceeded any/all expectations and was just an absolute joy to stay at. the area was just right off the main drag but also felt extremely secluded. the facility was charming and gorgeous. I was weary about the space and level of comfort from other reviews i had read, we shared with 4 adults and 1 child and were beyond satisfied. SO spacious and the sleeping areas were extremely comfortable. the other negative reviews that had me concerned were proved wrong. I simply cannot say one negative thing about our stay here. We are not ones to return to previous locations, simply because there is so many places we want to see, but we would/want to definitely make it back here someday!

Great place to stay and the people are very nice. Centrally located and have grocery store right next door. The facility was clean and convertible. The one thing I would warn anyone who wants to stay here is if you have motion sickness the constant movement of the boat will cause you issues.

This place was a dream!! So unique, clean, comfortable, peaceful, and quiet. Wish we stayed longer. Can’t wait to go back. I didn’t realize how close it was to the beach and the grocery store and we loved the bonus of free bicycles to ride with the family.
