All three adults enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable. The back deck was delightful. The people that work there are very friendly and helpful.
You are close to other boats but no one was loud. I’m a light sleeper so I wore ear plugs.
There is a place to eat, soft live music and drinks next door.
I would stay here again.

We stayed in the Grey Lady and it was the perfect slip! Quiet, views of the bay/mooring field/mangroves. Limited kitchen amenities if you are "eating in". All staff friendly and helpful. WiFi sketchy.

Loved the peaceful atmosphere that the houseboat offered. Had everything we needed. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Absolutely loved the two decks off the back of the boat. Location was excellent. Would definitely consider staying here again if we’re ever back in the Keys!

We normally stay in hotel rooms when we travel, so we thought it would be fun to try a house boat when I saw the option. We had all the comforts that a hotel provides, but with a way cooler atmosphere. Our only disappointment it that we didn't stay long enough to try the pool and restaurant. Good experience. We'd stay again.

Loved being on the houseboat for a few days! Houseboat itself was great, sitting on the deck watching the sunset over the water the best. Highly recommend.

We had a great time staying in the houseboats! Such a unique experience that I would recommend to anyone! The boat was equipped with everything one would need, the back dock and deck area were wonderful.
Erin
10/10
We had a fantastic time. The accommodations were very unique and we enjoy them greatly! The only negative thing was that it did rain a lot one day and the roor leaked a little.But besides that everything was great and we enjoyed our stay completely.
We stayed on the Manatee and it was perfect for our group. Plenty of space to sprawl out, full sized shower was a plus! Top of the boat was awesome for unwinding after a full day of activities and watching the sun set. The pool area was great!
