We arrived and the property was not clean. Contacted the owner and he was very friendly. He lived 5 hours out of the area and was not aware of the issues. After 3 hours I had my refund so we could book at a nearby hotel.

Lovely weekend despite storm Debby !! The teenagers in our group thought the boat was very quirky and enjoyed their room below deck .

The houseboat was awesome! Great location right down from Rainbow Reef Dive Center. The beds and couches were super comfy and we had all we needed for a nice stay.

This was my 3rd vacation staying on a live aboard. This boat is spacious, comfortable with great outdoor space. Its nice to have a full kitchen, but there are several bars and restaurants close by. I would definitely return to the boat.

We stayed on Johnny's boat last week. It was roomy enough for myself, husband and his friend visiting from Canada. It was a great change to just a condo/apartment or house. VERY convenient to everything from restaurants to stores and a great marina where we chartered a boat to go fishing. The kids would love the cabins . Great decks for coffee, watching the boats in the marina, pool use at the resort is also a plus! One of our favorite trips to the Keys. Thanks Johnny.

We were worried about deciding to do the houseboat rental because my wife is a landlubber but it was an excellent overall experience. Hanging out on the multiple outdoor areas was so enjoyable and indoors was comfortable and high-end. Nice, cold A/C too!!! Highly recommend to anybody looking for something different in the Keys.

If you want to try something different from your typical hotel stay you must stay at this house boat! I have to say - it is pretty cool and different. It is like a house! Had everything we needed. It was a bonus to be able to wave to my hubby from the house boat as he was leaving the pier with his scuba diving companions since the dive shop he used was practically next door. Glad we stayed.

Property very clean and well maintained. Kitchen had everything we needed. Had a great time sitting out on patio watching the boats go out each morning.

This was a wonderful location in Key Largo. The boat is docked on one of the canals and the ambiance was outstanding with the sights and sounds of passing boats. It was in a great location convenient to everything. The use of the pool was a plus too!
The boat itself was spacious and the layout very comfortable. The best part was the upper deck. A perfect place to hang out mornings with coffee and evenings with wine. The ocean breeze was amazing/refreshing.
The host was super attentive and responsive making check in and out a breeze. It was well stocked with towels, linens, toiletries and the beds were super comfortable.
Can't recommend this property enough and hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did mine!

This is our 2nd time renting this house boat. We really love it. Just a fabulous experience from beginning to end. Lots of room for family. Great outdoor spaces to watch sunrises and sunsets as you watch all the other boats come and go by. Very peaceful and affordable. Highly recommend if you are looking for something different then a hotel or resort.

There were some uninvited guest that we had to shorten our stay. I spoke to the owner who said this is the first time this has ever happened and stated he will put a child in the mail for the nights we did not stay. We shall see if this happens and I will update this post if needed.

Staying on a house boat? Never done that before. It was a cool experience and the house was great. Tons of room inside and out. Great location too.

The boat is a perfect Keys retreat. It’s spacious, comfortable, and well kept. My sons both remarked that you wouldn’t know it was a pat once you step through the door. For any trip with fishing or diving plans in the area, there’s no better choice for lodging. We spent long evenings on the upper deck relaxing in the sea breeze after hot days, one of the highlights of the trip. Have already shared the listing with a couple good friends and next time we’re in Key Largo, we’ll stay here again.

It was my first time staying on a boat. Was a beautiful Houseboat at the end of the cul-de-sac on the intercoastal in Key Largo was a perfect stay. We drove down to Key West one night and had dinner. The boat was equipped with everything we needed. One thing I like about the VRBO‘s is almost all the locations have everything you need, absolutely I would definitely go back and run again thank you to Johnny. The host.

The boat house is bigger then we thought it would be. The patio area downstairs was my favorite place to relax and read and unwind from a long day in the sun. We hung out and watched movies at night in the really comfy living room space. The kitchen was plenty big for us to cook oh and there was a grill for the hubby to cook on on the front patio. We had a great time and plan on returning with the whole family next time.

The property is located in a great location. Close to a lot of restaurants. The boathouse was clean and easy to deal with the owner. Kitchen had all the basic needs. Plenty of towels and having access to the pool was a plus.

Loved staying on the boat! My husband and I needed a place to stay for the week. We were in Key Largo for our son's wedding and decided to stay a few extra days.
I have never stayed on a houseboat before and I wasn't sure if it would be a good fit for us but it was awesome! We had everything we needed. We spent a lot of time on the deck soaking up some rays. Sofa very comfy and master bed very nice. Would definitely stay again if we are down that way again.

Four days of perfection! Our group of 3 adults had plenty of room to enjoy canal life on a big houseboat. My son is a chef so he enjoyed grilling dinner onboard. During the day we went on a snorkeling expedition to a coral reef, another day we rode on the African Queen! Upper deck beautiful for sunning and star gazing.

The houseboat did not disappoint from description. Houseboat was dated but not in away that it detracted from a relaxing stay. Host was readily available and answered quickly. Staff around the hotel were great and helpful.
Would definitely recommend.

Really enjoyed the stay on the house boat . It was a really enjoyable experience versus the regular hotel or abb stay. Being literally on the water, being able to watch the boats go buy in the morning with a big ole cup of coffee was so relaxing. Only regret is that we weren't there a little longer where we could have spent more time on the house boat. It being in key largo is so central to so much. Would definitely do again !
Thanks

We wanted to try something different—so a houseboat was a great change of pace. Clean, well equipped and just right for a few days in Key Largo.
Owner was very responsive. All in all, a great visit.

Only negative was the occasional odor we assume came from the holding tanks.

Houseboat exceeded our expectations. Was very comfortable, well appointed and clean. If you are scuba diving, it is a 5 minute walk to Rainbow Reef’s boats. Also, quick drive to restaurants, grocery store etc. We enjoyed having coffee on the deck in the morning and watching the fishing and dive boats cruise by. Would definitely stay again!

the accommodations were just what we needed. On the water, spacious, near everything and it served us well for the 5 days. it rained for 4 days of the trip (to be expected living in the water) and the days we didn't go out, we all felt right at home.
