Great experience all around! The host was very responsive. The location was perfect with an easy walk to multiple restaurants and bars. It also has a full kitchen with a great set up to cook in. We loved sitting on the back of the boat drinking coffee each morning and waving at the fishing and dive boats heading out. We will definitely rent here again.

We really enjoyed staying on Johnny and Ellen‘s houseboat! It was the first time we had that experience and it exceeded our expectations! There was so much room, the bed was so comfortable! It was very well stocked with many amenities, including wine, coffee, all kinds of toiletries, and the beach chairs were much appreciated! It was relaxing sitting up on the upper deck, watching the boats go in and out while watching the sunrise and sunset! Johnny was excellent at communicating with us and was very approachable with any questions asked! I wish we could have stayed longer than two nights! I would definitely recommend this experience to everyone!

Very enjoyable stay on this houseboat. It was fun just to sit on the deck with a drink and watch the other boats go by. Lots of pelicans, ibises, seagulls, (even vultures,) etc, to observe. More of a unique experience than staying at a regular hotel/motel. Plenty of space, kitchen had what we needed and more, clean, and a good location for all of our planned activities on Key Largo. You can walk to some of the fishing charter docks and are only minutes from Pennekamp state water park. Temperature controls worked well, as did the entertainment system.Johnny the host was accessible via text and the app and responded promptly to our inquiries. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others.

This was AMAZING! We came to Key Largo to scuba dive and had fishing charters! The houseboat was clean and just an amazing experience! I stayed there with my 15 yo son and he thought it was the ABSOLUTE COOLEST THING! I don’t think I will be able to get him to stay anywhere else in Key Largo! Johnny was in contact the whole time and I HIGHLY recommend this rental if you are looking for something a little bit different! My son is loving telling his back to school friends what he did in Florida! And a key thing is living on a freaking 70 ft houseboat!

Great Find

We had such a nice time on the boat. It was close to bars and restaurants and just a great location. Being able to use the pool at the hotel was a huge plus. We had very good communication with the owner and his sidekick Melvin. The boat is spacious and nicely laid out. We were all glad we stayed here.

We loved staying on the boat. It was fun watching all the boats going through the canal as we sat on the deck. We will stay again if we’re back to Key Largo. The host and property manager both responded quickly to our questions.
