About this property

Ocean views! <br>I didn’t do it too

Your Ocean front vacation house on water awaits you! Experience Key West staying above it's beautiful clear water. There is a little something for everyone from adventure seekers, to people who just want to get away and enjoy island life, wildlife, sunsets and water activities. From under the boat at any given time you might see many types of fish, stingrays, various crabs, starfish, octopus, lobsters, nurse sharks and even manatee from time to time! From above; view gorgeous sunsets, various sea birds catching their meals and even a military jet formation on occasion. Many great areas to kayak/paddleboard all starting from right off the boat. There are several miles of mangrove trails to view wildlife and fish or just simply get lost in nature. Kayak or paddle board up to Cow Key Marina restaurant as well as Hurricane Hole’s restaurant and grab some lunch.

This houseboat is a 2 bed, 1.5 bath with full kitchen/bar and relaxing livingroom. Off the front you have a covered patio with a ceiling fan and the spacious roof top deck with great views of the bay.

The master bedroom has a king size bed as well as an on suite bathroom. The 2nd bedroom has a queen size bed.

The kitchen is of regular size with standard size appliances plus dish washer so you have the usual comforts of home.

A little hiccup in the beginning but everything worked out perfect. The boat we had booked had a toilet issue so we were moved to the owners personal boat.The boat we ended up with was clean and beautiful although not fully prepped for guests. The top deck was unusable. But the windy, rainy, cold weather that week did not allow for many water activities so it did not affect our stay.The interior and beds were comfortable and for a houseboat the water pressure in the shower was great!We rented bikes and crossed the bridge into Key West to go see the Hemingway house, hang out on Duval St and to the Southernmost point.Bill was a great host and accommodated our needs. Only feedback would be him getting into the texting game rather than a phone call.All in all a great trip and would rent again

Everything was perfect. Our host Bill was easy to reach and he even allowed to check in early which was great. The place was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed fishing and swimming right off the back of the boat. Old Town Key West was only a short and cheap cab ride away. We would definitely stay here again when we come back to Key West.

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.

Great Spot for a Key West Vacation

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 didn’t 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.

Waterfront vacay

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 hadn’t 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.

Relaxing Stay

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.

Amazing wildlife in quiet location

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.

Amazing Hidden Paradise Cove

The property is amazing, It is tucked away in the beautiful private cove. You can stand on the dock and see star fish, octopus, and all types of marine life at any time. We drove our 38ft powerboat from Miami to the property. When we arrived there was parking for our boat, plenty of dock space, everything was ready for us, and the Houseboat was Excellent. We had a part fail on our personal power boat that we drove down while we were staying and Bill and Wendy took the time to help us get it fixed and saved our trip! They rode with us to a marina and arranged for our boat to be lifted out of the water over a leaking trim line. The line wasn't available so they had ours repaired for us at a local shop, and all within a few hours. They are amazing hosts. They made the whole trip that much better. The beds were amazing, stores were close by, they let the kids use their paddle boards, and even took us out in their Center console for a ride. I just can't say enough good things about this place. We plan to go back.

Weekend getaway

We had a great time on the houseboat. Mr. Bill was very accommodating. We were able to fish right off the boat, which was great. The only “issue” was no Wifi. My hotspot would never connect to the tv, so we weren’t able to watch the Gold Cup. Other then that we had a great time.
