Perfect little house boat!

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!

Treat ya like family.

Lourdes was a gem to work with! The moment we walked in she made us feel right at home, so do the people that stay on the boat full time. We saw about 5 manatees right in front of our boat, and about 4 nurse sharks. Absolutely amazing! The price was very reasonable. Nothing fancy. We did pull the mattresses off the loft to make the couch more comfortable. The dolphin is a good fit for 4, I wouldn't exceed that. The only kicker is you can't blow dry your hair in the boat cause it will trip the panel but we made out well otherwise just know that going in. We enjoyed our stay as we island hopped daily and this was our central location.

Beautiful location and wonderful staff.

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.

Perfect Floating House

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!

Quick stop in the Keys

Wanted to try something different so decided to stay in the houseboat this past weekend. Was fun and different and located close to so many great restaurants and things to do in Islamorada. The Marina has a great outside bar and food truck and a nice pool. Overall a terrific weekend!
