Aqua Lodge Houseboat -"Conch Shell"
Great host; very attentive! Great experience, clean, and ad is accurate.

Aqua Lodge Houseboat "Sea Biscuit"
We loved our little stay, clean quiet and exactly as described

"Manatee" Houseboat with rooftop sunset view
Great customer service and very friendly staff We stayed on the Manatee boat and it was very clean with some minor issues the staff would be happy to attend to if I asked them. We just didn’t use the tv much, but it wouldn’t turn off so we just placed it on soft music and used it for a sleep aid 🤷🏻♀️🥰 Mike, the guy there recommended we stay in the Grey Lady next time but this was a great experience for us.

Aqua Lodge Houseboat "Yellow Tail "
We stayed at this wonderful houseboat as we began our trip to the Florida Keys and it was perfect! We saw manatees, enjoyed dinner at the outdoor bar with locals, and had a beautiful view of the sunset. Great location with a wonderful host!

Aqua Villa Houseboat "Dolphin" with upper deck
Fully enjoyed staying on this tiny house on the water. Bed was comfy, loved the upper and lower deck and access to the Dive Bar and the food truck meant we could kick back and relax and not need to go anywhere. Local musicians at night and corn hole and a fire pit rounded out the experience. Loved our quick stay!

Aqua Lodge Houseboat "Tarpon"
We stayed at Mangrove Marina for the first time a couple of weeks ago. I happened to find houseboat accommodations by accident and I'm glad I did. The houseboat was great and the views were awesome. The Marina is super cozy with a great pool and areas to cook and eat. We loved watching the distant lightning show from the deck of our houseboat. Mike was great to work with and an awesome host!

Cabin in the Sea, Marina Puerto Velero RNT#96146
The place exceeded my expectations. It is a very beautiful and quiet place, ideal for resting. Listening to the sound of the sea from the place provides a sense of calm and connection with the environment that is really appreciated. It has all the amenities you need for a comfortable and pleasant stay. Everything was in order, clean and well maintained. Definitely an excellent option that I would love to return to.

This is a fantastic destination to explore if you're looking to experience something unique.

Adventurers escape breathtaking off-grid houseboat
This was a very unique and cool experience. I’ve always wanted to stay on a boat, but hadn’t had the chance. This houseboat fit the bill. I was impressed with how clean it was. The bed was very comfortable and most everything you needed was inside. However, I wouldn’t plan on doing too much cooking. There is just one little induction heater and you have to use a certain pan for it to work. I did make some rice one day and grilled some sausage using the grill on the dock. Joseph is a hardy outdoorsman and super nice guy. He was willing to help with whatever we needed and just a phone call away. I originally thought I would be able to bring our belongings on a kayak with us. However, we ended up getting a boat ride for an extra fee. Even if you try to pack light, I would recommend just getting a ride over with your belongings initially, and then when you leave. Know that you will likely get wet when using the kayaks and that some have holes under the seats that make the seating area wet.

2/1 Aqua Lodge with Full Kitchen
We loved staying at this space on the water. Absolutely wonderful and pristine surroundings, dolphins greeted us first thing in the morning while we sipped on the lovely coffee the hosts provided. Kitchen was spotless and everything was new pots pans and dishes. Comfy beds and crispy linen. Just what dreams are made off. We only wish we stayed longer. Definitely adding to my favorites and hope to return again.

Full houseboat with large observation deck
This place was exactly what we were looking for. Michael was wonderful to deal with getting to and from the boat house. He was also extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We will be back for sure. I would highly recommend staying here.

Getaway to Blackbeard's Hideout
Toni’s was excellent. Many hours spent on the boat deck watching the birds, tarpon, and sunsets. Plenty of amenities right on sight (boats, fishing gear, and snorkel gear) and a short walk to a yummy ice cream spot and Mexican restaurant. We will be back!

Delightful Aqualodge! Cabana Club Access! Sailfish
Enjoyed our stay at the Aqualodge! We’ve always wanted to stay on a boat and now we have! Place looked just as good as pictures! Great bedding and mattresses were really comfortable! Use of bikes/kayaks and the Cabana Club outstanding!

Delightful over the water cabin Mango Beach.
The place is beautiful. I wouldn’t recommend staying in Marigot bay the whole time. There’s not a lot of great food options, all with the same, fairly limited menu. The local food is the best option - jerk chicken, stews, etc, but even those are not as good as the rest of the island. This place is only accessible by boat - you need what’s app to get on and off the cabin to get food. The beach is walking distance and there’s some food and beverages served when you get chairs during the day. The hike along the property (Billy goat trail) is stunning. It’s really very very beautiful, but it’s not a great place to see the island. Also being a sound machine - sound travels across the water and it can be fairly loud.
Waterfront houseboat rentals

Sea Chateau ~ Jupiter Motor Yacht
Our stay in Jupiter was great. Location on the water gave us opportunity to fish off the rental and soak up some sun. Walking distance to waterfront restaurants and close to the beach/inlet. Our fishing charter even picked us up at the houseboat. Overall, we had a great experience.

Island Sanctuary Islamorada
Taking the included motorized dinghy back and forth to the houseboat was a lot of fun. It made it feel like you were leaving the world behind. Pennekamp reef was a short drive away and lot's of nice restaurants in the area. At night there we dolphins swimming around and the water was clean and clear. There was a great breeze and no need to turn on the air conditioner. We slept in the cool spring breeze and had a great time. The host is friendly, accommodating and communicative. Thank you Kelly, we will definitely be back!

The Tiki Suite - a Key West icon
From the moment we arrived at this tropical oasis, we were completely enchanted. This floating tiki hut was nothing short of magical. The rustic, thatched-roof charm paired with modern comforts made it feel like a true island getaway. Like the Maldives at a much more affordable price Our hut was impeccably clean and beautifully decorated with island-inspired touches, soft lighting, and a breezy open layout that let the ocean air flow through. Waking up to the sound of waves in the morning was nothing short of blissful. lounging by the water, paddleboarding, and watching the most breathtaking sunsets from our deck. This place is a hidden gem and we can’t recommend it enough. Whether you’re looking for a romantic escape or just a peaceful retreat from the world, this tiki hut delivers paradise in every sense. We’ll be back!

1 Bedroom Aqualodge # 7 Cobia
This was our first experience staying on a houseboat and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We had key deer visitors daily. Fishing off the porch was our favorite part and we caught several different types of fish. The No Name Pub is within walking distance and had great food. We did rent a boat one day from the Marina and the prices were very reasonable. Would recommend staying here for a unique experience in the Keys.

Beach front House with kayaks and water sports!!
Since I was a child I’ve wanted to see the inside of a real houseboat and this was the perfect opportunity. I booked for my family to stay here a few days before our cruise began and it definitely added to the wonderment of the vacation. Taylor even had a couple paddle boards brought to us. It may be a slightly older houseboat but I loved the charm of it. It’s really really fun. My family is still talking about “the boat before the cruise”, and I know they’ll remember it long after.

Key West Houseboat Paradise
The stay at Brad’s houseboat was a dream! We are from the Tampa area, but had never been to the Keys. It was just my husband and I, and we came to celebrate his 44th birthday. Brad was beyond accommodating. He bought my husband his favorite bourbon and even stocked us with everything we would need for a fishing trip we had planned while visiting. I highly recommend Brad’s home! It was peaceful and exactly what we needed. We plan on coming back soon and staying with Brad again at one of his listings in the Key West area.

1 Bedroom Floating Cabin # 9 Hammerhead
Thanks for hosting this nice house boat.

Glamorous Houseboat Stay @ The Perry
Wow, what a great time I had! My intent was to book accommodations that were different and I had the best experience on this houseboat. The guide which I received in advance gave all the information needed for a smooth checkin. Once I arrived I knew exactly what to do and what not to do in a houseboat. I stepped in and was pleased to find exactly what I saw in the photos. This is social media worthy! The boat gently rocked me to sleep each night, the view was breathtaking, the neighbors are friendly. Restaurants are great and within walking distance. The pools are relaxing and the waitress will even deliver your food poolside:) I will certainly visit again as I most enjoyed the roof top tanning, the clean environment, fresh linen, and unique style of bathroom. Thanks for hosting me!
