If you’re looking for a unique place to stay in the keys then don’t hesitate to book The Dolphin. It’s clean, has all the essentials and is close to some great snorkeling, diving, kayaking, fishing and restaurants! We loved spending time on the top deck of the house boat and even had a manatee visit us one afternoon! We look forward to staying here again!

Fun spot to stay for a few nights. Actually a little bit bigger inside than it looks in the pictures. Kids loved it.

Have you ever wanted to stay on a floating house? This is the perfect opportunity to try it! This little house had everything that my husband and I needed to enjoy our day trips to the other Keys.
We did enjoy sitting on the patios in the early mornings to enjoy the wonderful views. During the day, we went exploring to the other Keys for breakfast, shopping, stopped off at Bahia Honda Park for beach time and late lunches. In the evenings, the bar in the Marina was hopping with a fire pit and music. They did turn off the music around 11.
I do recommend having Dramamine on hand incase the winds pick up and it is rough. This only happened for a few hours one night, but I wish I had something to help me.
I highly recommend this for two adults and maybe smaller kids that could use the loft. If we go back to the Keys for vacation, we will definitely stay here again!

The Dolphin sits on the end corner of a pier. We had a view of boats coming and going A great view of several house boats parked across the bay. It was so relaxing. It was quiet, a slow time so not many other renters around us. And Key Largo and Tavernier were not congested The sunset was beautiful from the upper deck and the lower deck provided shade in the heat of the day. It was picturesque all day but especially as the moon was a beautiful backdrop of the boats in the marina. We spotted what looked like a white bottle cap and at closer inspection it was a tiny jelly fish. We also saw anemones that look like cauliflower from the lower deck. We checked out a few local restaurants hidden off the main road. We will debate be back to explore more of the keys.

My son and his bride stayed for their honeymoon. They said the view was spectacular! Sitting in the chairs at night looking at the stars. The glass bottom was awesome, always fish to see.
Check in was a breeze. When they checked out they were told the get a discount to come again. My son said they will be planning to come back!

Spent a week on the boat and enjoyed our time. The view from the lower and upper deck was wonderful. Saw dolphin swim by one AM with coffee. Property clean. Bathroom adequate. Waves were worse first nite and wife felt seasick but rest of week was calm. Being at end of peer have more wide open feeling with better views. Much to do in area with good restaurants within 10-15 min drive.

We enjoyed our 4 nights and were sad to leave. Wish the bar was back up and running, then there'd be no reason to leave the marina.

We've been wanting to stay on a houseboat for years and finally did it! This was really great. Location was perfectly centered for all of our planned activities and some very good restaurants. It was comfortable and had very nice views, specially from the upper deck. You must remember it is a houseboat and not a Ritz. There is a little rocking when the wind is blowing. During one good blow I was walking to the kitchen and started wondering if my wife had secretly spiked my drink because I felt unsteady. Then I just laughed and remembered I was on a rocking boat. We will be booking again.

We had a great time. The houseboat was perfect. There needs to be a better accommodation for hairdryers. 1 outlet in a room across the parking lot without air conditioning is inconvenient and a hassle. The shower rooms with outlets would have made this more tolerable and would have given 5 stars across the board.

It's an adventure
It's a great houseboat. Very modern and clean. Being on the water brought a sense of peace that you cannot get in a hotel room. The upper and lower deck was a plus. Our daughter and her friend, age 25, slept in the loft. The mattresses up there are probably more suited for children, but they did ok for three nights. We had a ball dancing to the band on Wednesday night. The entire staff was welcoming and accommodating. We made some awesome memories on this adventure in the Florida Keys. Thank you.

We absolutely loved and enjoyed our stay on the Dolphin houseboat. It was clean and comfortable. The property manager was easy going and helpful. My 7 year old granddaughter enjoyed watching the fish, birds, and sharks off the back deck of the boat. We had to leave to go home and she kept asking us why we can’t go back for another night!
