Love the Rooftocp Deck and Dive Bar

Everything was great. Houseboat was clean and functional. Folks at the marina were friendly and at night we met many locals at The Dive Bar. Good food and company by the fire, cornhole, friendly kids who live at the marina taught our son to fish and catch lobsters. Great time, we look forward to going back!

Fun stay on the water

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.

The property was in a great location, great views and environment. Some areas that could improve is the lack of bedding, towels, the current bedding doesn’t fit the beds. There are some small upgrades to maximize the space but overall it was a unique experience.

Great place to relax

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.

The manatee

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.

Low key and relaxing

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!

Family lobster trip

I thought the accommodations were very nice. I was a little sad that there weren’t more pops, pans and cooking dishware. The two barbecue grills at the front of the marina were falling apart, and it made it very hard to cook in the evenings.

Winter escape.

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.

Boat house adventure

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.

Oldie but goodie!!

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.

Amazing place to stay!

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.

Nice boat, shame about the bilge pump

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.

The Manatee was a nice size for a houseboat. We specifically wanted it because we felt it would accommodate our family of five (which includes three young adults). The rate is overpriced in my opinion. We stayed at two other places during our Key West/Palm Beach vacation, both comparably priced to this (one being a similar size to the Manatee) and the other two were much nicer. The houseboat definitely needs some TLC. Unfortunately, the a/c was out during our stay. Mike did offer to let us stay in another houseboat because of this. However, the alternative was very small, and I didn't want us climbing all over each other. So, we chose to stay in the Manatee with no a/c. It made for a very damp and sticky stay. Maybe because it is an older boat, there was a very strong "old house" musty smell. Overall, we will probably not return. Mike, though, was very nice to work with and did refund us a small amount due to the a/c not working.
