Maggie was wonderful to deal with. We had a problem with the stove and she was right there with a different one. Excellent service. The bed was really comfortable . The wi-fi and t.v. were great.

Fun place to stay.
Unique in a good way, neighbors are friendly and close to many things to see and do. Pennekamp State Park is four miles away, went often. Went diving with Horizon Divers about two miles away, traveled to many parks on other Keys and visited Key West. There were some minor post hurricane glitches but a phone call or text to Maggie and Vivian got immediate response and glitches solved. These owners are great to work with.

Paradise Found!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Maggie's houseboat. Very clean upon arrival, and in a good neighborhood. Kitchen was well stocked. We loved the little loft area and sunning deck. Maggie was always available if we needed her and emailed us to make sure everything was going ok. We will definitely stay here again!

The house was so adorable and so comfy!!! It had everything you would need.
I would definitely stay in this house again! It is so comfy and such a unique house. We spent alot of time there because it rained everyday except for one. But other than that I would recommend this house to anyone!!

Didn't live up to the expectations created from the listing and photos.
Part of the reason I booked this property was how inviting the yard looked, but we were very disappointed. All the furniture was very weather worn and almost all of it was structurally unsound. The hammock pictured in the add was broken by other renters and there for not available. The key to the marina and picnic area at the end of the street supposedly at our disposal was lost by other renters and also not available. There were ants in the kitchen and palmetto bugs in the downstairs bedroom. On the bright side, the renters were very nice and replied immediately via text with any questions we had. The beds were very comfortable, and the boat house itself was charming and unique. But we would not book it again and would not recommend it to people of healthy size, tall or wide. We left not feeling as though we got what we expected or paid for.

A little piece of heaven
I call this place "a little piece of heaven". The house boat was everything and more than I expected. I just wanted to stay inside the house, it felt so relaxing. Maggie and Vivian made the entire process pleasurable. They made me feel like family. I will be staying there again.

What a great , quaint place to stay. The houseboat is spotless and has plenty of amenities
We loved this house! Maggie is easily accessible for any questions and needs. The house is spotless and has all that you would need to make this a "home away from home" We cooked in the kitchen most nights. Nice location.. near Pennekamp Park and anywhere in the Keys you want to see. The backyard is fabulous! Would definitely recommend!

Loved it!
We loved the house boat! It became our home away from home! I slept so well in the master bedroom. The hostesses were great! They provided snack, water, and most importantly valuable information. They were never more than a text away to answer questions about the house and location! They told us about the great restuarants near by. We spent out days out exploring and spent a couple of days diving. It was a perfect trip!

Unique experience for a holiday weekend.
Maggie was amazing and responsive. The house is quaint, qwirky and unique. We loved it. Definitely a good experience. Used it as base camp for our dive weekend. Close to many docks for dive trips.
