Can’t wait to come back!

We really enjoyed staying on the Starfish. The bathroom is beyond super tiny, but there are a larger outdoor showers and pool bathrooms that we used. If you are a larger person, the super tiny bathrooms will be a problem. However, it won’t prevent us from returning. We loved it!

Great stay aboard the Starfish

Easy check in process. It was New Year’s Eve so keys and documents were in an envelope at the office as it was already closed when we arrived at about 3. However, did meet the manager, Mike, who was a really cool guy and fun to talk to. Marina was really clean and nice. A lot of awesome boats for sale to look at and be jealous of. Will definitely be back, perhaps to stay aboard the Gray Lady or Captains Quarters next time, the larger vessels this group operates. Looking forward to it.

Lovely views off the back! Overall nice accommodations but lights in bathroom dont work at.

Had a nice time and convenient to everything. Bath house was bright and clean but would definitely recommend fixing the lights in the bathroom on the boat and replacing the burned out light in the BR and LR to make it brighter and easier to see at night.

Weekend on the Starfish

We had a wonderful stay at the Mangrove Marina. The staff was great and helpful, the Marina is centrally located to many attractions in the upper keys John Pennekamp State park, Windley Key Fossil Reef Geological State Park, & Robbies where you can rent boats, snorkel, take glass bottom boat tours, go fishing, and see amazing sunsets. The houseboat is perfect for a couple or family and adults and kids could spend time out on the deck looking at the fish, Manatees, and stingrays swim by. Our boat slept 5 with a common area including couch, table with 4 chairs, and a large kitchen and its own bathroom. Marina also had bathroom facilities, washer and dries and a pool for the guest.

Wonderful accommodations

We did stay in the original boathouse that we signed up for but everything was handled very professionally and they gave a beautiful boathouse to stay on. It seemed brand new. It was spacious, clean , the views were wonderful, the staff was exceptional and the location was perfect for us. We will definitely being booking there again .
