The unit was very clean, the beds comfortable and the location enjoyable. The pictures and description don’t do it justice, we would definitely stay here again.
Great time staying here with my wife, two kids, and mother. Plenty of space, great amenities, and fantastic water views of the bay side. Saw manatees swimming from our deck!
We absolutely loved our stay at the Boat House. The views were great and it was very quiet. A short walk across the street to the ocean. Many local restaurants, shops, and other things to do. We would definitely stay there again and highly recommend the Boat House.
It was very perfect location close to the beach close with great view, much better than the pictures and much better than I expected , we really enjoyed our Staying there. Very nice. I recommend it and I will be back.
The condo was nice and big! The king size was comfortable and rooms were nice size! The view from balcony to see the intercostal was nice. 3 minute walk to gulf was easy walk. We would stay again.
Great location! Spacious apartment with no neighbors to worry about. Great balcony deck and numerous dolphin sightings in the intercoastal! Perfect jumping off point for enjoying the area. 2 minute walk across the street to the beach or next door for drinks at caddy’s!
We enjoyed our stay at Caddy's Boat House, was the perfect size for us, and appreciated the beach toys for our granddaughter to use while visiting the local beach. We basically had everything we needed to be comfortable during our visit. Thank you!
The location was great! Enjoyed the view of the boats and water from the huge balcony. The walk to the beach was not bad. The kitchen was great.. there were a few little things that should be addressed but we plan on going back for sure.. We had dinner at Villa Gallace which was AMAZING!
Our week was incredible from beginning to end!
The boat house was a hidden gem! The pictures were on point but we were still surprised at how spacious & clean & well done this condo is!
10 out of 10 in every category!
Caddy’s Boathouse is a wonderful place to stay! Spacious & clean apartment with all the amenities. It’s located right above Island Marine Rentals, where we also rented a pontoon for the day. Everyone who works there is friendly and welcoming. Perfectly located from everything! Super comfortable beds and a breathtaking view of the intercostal waterways from the balcony! Highly recommend:)
The pictures of this place do not do it justice! It was so much better than I expected. It doesn't look like much from the outside but the inside is beautiful! So comfortable inside and so many evenings spent on the patio enjoying the view. We had a small request after we arrived and it was immediately taken care of. Great communication throughout our stay and beforehand. The guys working downstairs were very helpful and friendly as well. It was a short walk across the street to the beach and also right next to Caddy's for some drinks and delicious fish tacos. Will definitely stay here again!!
The apartment is upstairs, as mentioned, and is clean and spacious for our family of 4. We had no issues with parking and/or neighbors.
Not much bad to say about the place. There was live music at the restaurant nearby, which could be heard inside, but did not play late. The other thing worth mentioning is that the air conditioning did work, but struggled to get the temperature of the apartment much lower than 75 degrees.
Overall though, it was a very nice place that was furnished well, had plenty of space and amenities, and was clean. We would definitely consider staying here again.
This was a wonderful stay and we’d 100% stay again. Total blast being above the rental shop and loved having a restaurant next door. Clean, comfy, loved it!
Only feedback was that the provided lawn chairs, umbrella and beach cart were either missing, broken, or rusted through, and our only plans were to sit on the beach. We couldn’t reach the host via the app, and we were told they couldn’t help us over the phone since not an emergency and it was a holiday weekend. But after multiple attempts reached the property management company via email and they were quick to respond once we sent a photo of what we found for equipment and they were very apologetic. We had chairs within 20 mins of them seeing my email. Great stay tho and will totally stay again!
We enjoyed our stay. The place was clean and inviting. Loved that we could have our pet with us. Communication with our host was wonderful! Thank you for sharing your home with our family.
The property was updated and very comfortable. Was close to plenty of beach access and great dining. There's a rental shop on the first floor offering kayaks, boat rentals, etc. Would recommend.
