Tina was a thoughtful host, but amentities were not as reflected. Most importantly (1) the main bed was not a "double bed" but a twin sized bed, not suitable for sharing and (2) the toilet is not a standard toilet but a pump boat tolilet requring water to be poured from the sink - this may be standard on a boat, but it was a suprise to folks who may be less familiar with boats. There were some other issues which might be attribuatable to the folks before us trashing the place.That said, it was a very budget stay where things are often much more expensive in Key West. My kids did enjoy eating breakfast sitting on the deck, looking out at the bay. If you don't count on two people sleeping in the double bed and don't mind the ship toilet that is the main bedroom, its a decent budget stay.
