Superb!

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.

The absolute best VRBO find!

We could not have ask for a better rental. This is a great alternative to the crowded resorts and hotels but still offers all the Key West vibes and experiences plus some you couldn’t get from the traditional rentals. The property, location, and host were all wonderful.

WOW

You never know what your're going to get on VRBO so I went into the trip skeptical but hopeful. We were pleasantly surprised to pull up to brand new floating docks and a pair of very well preserved and maintained houseboats. The beds, baths and kitchen were immaculate and well outfitted for cooking. The grill on the front deck was perfect for cooking up the fish that we caught on our daily outings. What impressed me the most was when we told Bill (the owner) that we needed to find fuel and ice for the boat at 10pm Saturday night he arranged for ice (300#) to be delivered that night and fuel (450 gal) arrived at 7:30 am Sunday. Between the anglers in our group we’ve been everywhere and none of us had experienced hospitality like that. We will definitely be staying on one of Bills boats on our next Key West fishing trip.
