Cozy cottage within walking distance of all major attractions in Key West. Clean, room for 6 adults. Enjoyed pool. Easy and Efficient communication with Roberta

Had an amazing time in Tavernier. The house boat was just as expected! Mike was a great host and easy to get in contact with.

Everything was clean and orderly on the boat and around the marina. Had a great time visiting with other guests.

We had a wonderful time staying at the marina . We loved our boat ..The Manatee It was only my son and I so we had plenty of space . It was clean and comfortable . We loved the roof top deck . Great location . We went to snorkel at John Pennekamp State Park- it’s only 15 minutes away and then we also went to snorkel Alligator Reef - which is also only 15 minutes away . There are many restaurants and shops very close to the marina . Staying on a house boat was on my bucket list and so now I can say we did that and it was a great experience . The host Mike was very kind to us . Communication was excellent . We would defiantly stay again .

Loved staying on a boat. Very relaxing

We really enjoyed our time on the Manatee. Tavernier is a great location - close to parks, beaches, restaurants, shopping. And so great to come back and relax on the deck surrounded by water and fresh breezes! The marina has a pool which was nice when we just felt like a quick dip. We had a manatee slowly swim by one day! In general, a clean friendly place to call home while you explore the Keys. Just one caveat- if you have motion sickness - the houseboat does move quite a lot when it gets really windy. I knew this was a possibility when I booked it, so it's on me, not the boat!

Enjoyed the houseboat very much. Quiet, clean boat. Really enjoyed the Wed. night live music with food and drink.

The property is in a great location and the roof sun deck was amazing.

The people were great...friendly and always helpful. Mike was extremely helpful and always willing to talk (Including Ace!). A real review. Our boat could use some TLC. Overall it was great, but starting to show usage...I'm not picky. I have stayed at many locations like this and kind of expected there would be some basics...spices, coffee filters...usually there are a few things helpful that are left over from previous travelers...there were none in this case. We left a lot of basics and hopefully they remain for the next group. Otherwise we liked the stay and look forward to next year.

We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. VERY clean property with beautiful views and many ways to enjoy them. Slept soundly with the fresh air and the quiet sounds of the water. Excellent property - beautiful pool.

The marina houseboat was just perfect for us! Mike was amazing- knowledgeable about area, check in process short & sweet. Plenty of parking. There is a covered front & back deck to enjoy. Some shade on the upper deck would be great to enjoy the views for longer periods of time. This sounds like something that is being looked into.l already. Only Small downside was the king size bed. It is up stairs & only one way out, had to crawl over my hubby at night to get out. ( there are 3 other beds I could have slept in🙃) Restaurants close by. Great little bar area that served wine/beer/seltzers. Mandy was the island women running it. She’s amazing !!! Great pool area with shade. Overall a fabulous stay. Would recommend to anyone.

Spacious boat in good location. The Marina probably needs some TLC re: Paint work, plaster etc but overall , we have no regrets. The only problem, and it was a problem, is that the Bilge pumps activated every 3-4 minutes throughout the night. This was reported but of course it was during the holidays so little could be done to resolve it. The middle bunk was right beside the noisiest bilge pump and without a stiff drink and deep set ear plugs, sleep was impossible. Clearly the boat draws Water on the port side when everyone is in bed and it is unfortunate that beds are all on the same side of the boat. When we left it seemed that Michael, who was excellent, was going to get the problem attended to. It may not be a quick fix.

This was our first time staying in a house boat. We can now check that off our bucket list. The roof top deck and lower decks were excellent to get sun or shade. Their was plenty of parking. A/C worked well. If we had a negative- there was only 2 forks in the kitchen drawer. We had a great time.

Great place to stay for a dive trip!

Loved the house it was better than expected. Plenty of room for the 6 adults that stayed there. The dock workers were friendly and ready to help if any was needed.

Staying on a boat house was a first for us. We enjoyed it. The upper deck was great in the evenings to relax and see sunset or storm clouds rolling in. The beds were very comfortable. Over all, this was a great place and awesome experience. Would come back again.

Loved the space, family all had fun. Great views. Only issue was parking was not guaranteed in the marina parking lot.

The rental property was easily rented. There were a few maintenance issues, nothing major. Probably the biggest issue was that the manager was off while we were headed down to the keys, which was the same time as Hurricane Elsa. It turned out to be a nonevent, but it was quite unnerving for us. Perhaps in the future someone else could monitor emails, especially during possible inclement weather!!

Spacious, good AC, good location and fun!

It was a great experience staying on the houseboat! It included everything we needed!

Loved the houseboat Music at night with the restaurant in the marina Wish we booked for longer We will be back for sure

Our stay at the Manatee was a special time. Our family of four (2 adults/2 teens) spent 3 days aboard the Manatee as our "mother ship" for adventuring in Everglades National Wildlife Refuge. 2 more adult family members joined us for one of the three days/nights, and there was plenty of room. We brought along our skiff and were able to just tie it behind the houseboat for easy access to fun days on the water. We enjoyed sunsets and sunrises from the boat with ease. Although we did not see dolphins from the boat (we did see them out while adventuring), we did see a shark (maybe a lemon or nurse shark), plenty of upside down jellies, and were excited to witness the bioluminescent mating ritual of the Bermuda Fireworm - which was incredibly cool! Prior reviews were accurate that 1) this boat is perhaps a little too well loved/dated, and 2) upper deck rooms are warmer than lower deck rooms. BUT - it was cozy, clean and comfortable and did not hinder any fun or stop any of our plans. There is plenty of A/C, it's just that the sun warms the master first, etc. I do NOT like to be hot, and the little clip on fans we brought were plenty to get the cooler air up to the bed area and we slept just fine. There was a toilet issue that started the day we arrived, some blockage due to something previous guests likely tried to flush. Mike and Ed both were VERY responsive, and when they were not able to resolve the issue, we were given the option to move to another boat. We would definitely stay at this marina again, but would likely try for one of the newer boats if available.

Clean, cool, beds were uncomfortable. Boat house leaned to one side entire 7 day stay.

It was a fun few days on the water in a houseboat. Watching the sunsets and the surroundings from the top deck or back deck were a lot of fun. I would rent it again.

Had a great time staying here. Everyone was very friendly.

Overall the boat was very comfortable and well maintained. It had all the basics that you needed and plenty of room for the whole family. I thought we would feel cramped but it was just the opposite - lots more room than staying in a hotel! The roof deck sunrise and sunsets were to die for. The location was close to many parks and good spots for eating. We will be back!

Unique experience, would do it again!!! Boat needed a little TLC, maybe some handrails. Property bar only had beer and wine. No food. Light menu would have been ok. That was disappointing. But they’re transiting!!! Decks were great on boat. If you’ll have us back. We’ll c u soon.

Great place. Bar just opened and had good beer and friendly staff. House boat was large and apt of fun.

A great place to relax on the water and all the necessity stores are near by. Unique way to spend your time in the keys!

Great location. The Manatee is a little tiered. Cupboard doors don’t stay closed...furniture cushions flat and a bit uncomfortable and the window in the salon leaks when it rains...but we had a great time. The staff is very helpful and Fun and Juice is a great place to relax at the end of the day! Will be back.
