Best stay ever
Posted Jan. 12, 2023 on HomeAwayMy grandchildren loved the houseboats. The host was very accommodating. Although we were impacted by the mess with the airlines we had a great stay.

The location is great
The views were great
The boat was much smaller than described and would not recommend for 4 adults
The loft is useless for adults
The pullout couch sank really bad in the middle
Get the bigger boat if it’s available!

Fishing Trip
Posted Jun. 8, 2022 on HomeAwayOur stay was good. I think some things were missing in the description. There is no fishing from the houseboat, you cannot use a hair/blow dryer in the houseboat, fold out couch bed leaves a lot to be desired. It met our needs and we enjoyed our trip and the houseboat was clean but could be updated. Thank you.

Hi,
Thanks for the review and the feedback.
As it relates to the sofabed, I will have that checked and if we need to replace the matress, I'll get it done.
As it relates to the other items you mentioned, we send out an email Welcome message with those details included. I'm not clear if that information is sent when you book reservations on other sites.
Thanks again,
Mike

My 10 year old son and I stayed here and loved it! The place was clean, comfortable, and so unique! My son loved the loft, and we both enjoyed the back porch and views. The bar was fun and pleasant to hang out at, and the pool was super clean and fun. Mike was nice and communicated everything very clearly. We have no complaints and hope to go back someday.

Cute House Boat, neat bucket list experience! ✔️
Posted Nov. 26, 2021 on HomeAwayWe managed to have 4 adults stay here, which is probably not ideal for most people. The loft where two of us slept would be better suited for kids. Very limited kitchen utensils and cookware. But we managed to cook breakfast. They are dog friendly, 1 dog, 40lbs or less. There is a coin washer and dryer in the marina and there is a nice shower and bathroom area in the one location. By the pool there is a cute outdoor bar area. You can sit there during the day/evening until the bar opens, weather permitting. The pool area is nice, has great bathrooms and outdoor showers. There is even a brand new barbeque area. It is conveniently located between Key Largo and Islamorada. Just a short drive and you're to everything you need. There is a Winn Dixie, CVS, Dollar General and a few chain restaurants down the road, a quick 5 min car ride. I would definitely stay here again if I visit the upper keys again. We had a fantastic time!

Hi Morgan,
Thanks for your review.
I'm not sure if you recall but the couch is a sofa bed and the linins are in the bedrooms' closet. It might have been more comfortable.
There are 6 other houseboats that have multiple bedrooms (Sea Horse, Manatee, Grey Lady, Calypso, Captain's Quarters and Starfish) that might have been more comfortable for your party.
In any case, I apologize on behalf of the marina/resort that you were not completely satisfied during your stay. I want to offer you a discount upon your next visit with us. Contact me directly to discuss.
Be Safe,
Mike

LOVE houseboat living! 😀
Posted Apr. 2, 2021 on HomeAwayWe stayed in Conch Shell at Mangrove Marina and everything was amazing! Houseboat was awesome, loved the pool, bathhouses and general marina atmosphere. We also came day early from our reservation (our error) and during the busiest time of year, Mike worked the magic to get us a different houseboat for the first night. Thank you for that!! More detailed instructions in the houseboat would have been nice re: daily garbage routine, fresh towels etc. We figured it out eventually!

Hi Holly,
Thanks for you review and your feedback.
Sorry for any confusion during your stay.
I do review review the 'Rules & Regulations' during the check-in process. It's possible I missed this with you, but I do cover 'garbage removal' during the check-in process. In addition, we also supply this list (2 page document) in the manila envelope and in the grey houseboat book, on each houseboat. There is a paragraph on 'garbage' removal where we ask our guests to use the dumpster behind the light blue fence.
We are doing our best to be 'green' and therefore do not offer fresh towels, by default. That said, whenever a guests requests fresh towels (pool or bath), we do honor that request.
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us and look forward to your next visit with us.
Be Safe.
Mike
