The beautiful sites surround you as you wake up on the water and the sunsets and stars give you great experiences as you relax on the top deck in the evening. Included in the rental is use of a 13 foot motor boat to get to and from the houseboat. You have 360° ocean views sunsets sunrises stargazing. You can jump right off the boat into the golf of Mexico. Rental of the houseboat includes use of a 13 foot skiff to get yourself to and from land as well as plenty of parking. Boating experience is required as you will be out on the water and get yourself to and from the boat. It is important that you are aware that this is a houseboat. Your electric is coming to the form of solar or generator power. There is a water heater and For size shower. There’s also a fridge and microwave. The bed is a sleep number which is adjustable on either side of the bed. There is AC in the bedroom. However the rest of the boat is called with the Ocean breeze in box fans. The top deck is beautiful place to watch sunsets or gaze at the stars. An extra cleaning fee will be charged if dishes are left in the sink or the house is left in very unclean conditions. This is the best place to stay in The Fl Keys great location beautiful views and an amazing experience, hosted by a six generation local. This is on a houseboat so basic knowledge of the water is recommended. You will have to get yourself to and from the houseboat on a 13 foot skiff. I’ll meet you to check you in and show you the way out to the boat as well as how everything on the boat works like the generator and solar power. The boat does have a full-size fridge, microwave oven, stove top, hot water full size shower, sleep number queen size bed, top deck for sunsets and star gazing , everything you’ll need to be more that comfortable. I am a six generation local to Key West. And also a licensed captain. I will be available during your stay to take you out to secluded islands in sandbars for snorkeling dolphin watching light tackle fishing or to just relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. If you are interested in booking one of these charters during your stay I will be available weather permitting Plenty of free safe parking is available at the check-in location where the dock is that you will use to get to and from the houseboat. That being said there is not a captain on this boat and I will not be there to assist you with everything so it is important that you can start a generator and the motor on the boat to get you to and from the house boat. They are in perfect working condition however this can be an issue for some people. This is a houseboat in the Caribbean. It can get hot. you will be using a generator and solar for power. If you check into this house boat and then realize that it is not a hotel room you will not be refunded. This is similar to camping however on a boat that has the amenities however you will have to use a generator and solar for any electrical needs. This boat is not for complainers nor land lovers. This is a boat I repeat this is a boat. Check in I will meet you at the check-in location at a time we scheduled prior to your arrival to show you where to park in the Skiff you will use to get to and from the houseboat. You’ll then follow me out to the houseboat so I can show you have everything on the houseboat works. I’m available if you need assistance during your stay. But everything is very simple to use as long as you do have basic knowledge and our somewhat familiar with the water. Guest access The entire boat is yours and your nearest neighbors are far away in the bay. So you’ll feel very private and secluded as you enjoy this unique experience. Access to and from the boat is made to use of a 13 foot kayak provided with the use of the rental. As well as one ride in when you check in and out. Water taxi is available however it is a very short kayak trip. Other things to note There is a full-size fridge. There is AC in the bed room however the rest of the boat is cooled with the ocean breeze. Most people don’t use the AC as the breeze and a fan make it very comfortable. However this is a boat in the Caribbean so on some days it can be hot. The toilet is a little different than yours at home main difference being that you won’t put toilet paper down the head it will go into a trashcan. An extra cleaning fee will be charged if dishes are left in the sink or the house is left in very unclean conditions. If you plan to do a lot of barhopping or partying on Duval this may not be the place for you either although you can get to and from land very easily and quickly this boat is special because it offers the other side of Key West like peaceful calm ocean views sunsets snorkeling. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator ### Bedrooms - Bedroom ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Outdoor furniture - Patio ### Comfort - Air conditioning ### Pets - Pet friendly - One pet total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Things to do - Kayak ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Restaurant](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/90000000/89840000/89832400/89832384/d6422035.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Aqua Lodges at Hurricane Hole Marina Stock Island - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 8.8 Excellent 165 reviews £225 includes taxes & fees 2 Nov - 3 Nov [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=89832384&PinnedHotelID=89832384&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/66000000/65400000/65393400/65393345/1efbfd6d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ocean views!
