If you’re looking for a unique place to stay in the keys then don’t hesitate to book The Dolphin. It’s clean, has all the essentials and is close to some great snorkeling, diving, kayaking, fishing and restaurants! We loved spending time on the top deck of the house boat and even had a manatee visit us one afternoon! We look forward to staying here again!

We enjoyed our 4 nights and were sad to leave. Wish the bar was back up and running, then there'd be no reason to leave the marina.

We absolutely loved and enjoyed our stay on the Dolphin houseboat. It was clean and comfortable. The property manager was easy going and helpful. My 7 year old granddaughter enjoyed watching the fish, birds, and sharks off the back deck of the boat. We had to leave to go home and she kept asking us why we can’t go back for another night!

Spent a week on the boat and enjoyed our time. The view from the lower and upper deck was wonderful. Saw dolphin swim by one AM with coffee. Property clean. Bathroom adequate. Waves were worse first nite and wife felt seasick but rest of week was calm. Being at end of peer have more wide open feeling with better views. Much to do in area with good restaurants within 10-15 min drive.

We had a great time. The houseboat was perfect. There needs to be a better accommodation for hairdryers. 1 outlet in a room across the parking lot without air conditioning is inconvenient and a hassle. The shower rooms with outlets would have made this more tolerable and would have given 5 stars across the board.

The boat was clean and had everything we needed. The property manager Mike was spot on, and dealt with any request very quickly. The community at the marina was extremely friendly and we ended up making some life long friends during our stay. I can’t say enough about Mangrove Marina and the people that live there. It was also nice that there was a little bar on site and Mandy the bartender was very welcoming and made us feel like family. The whole experience was wonderful and we will for sure be returning to visit all our new found friends in the near future! Thanks again to Mike and the marina crew, you guys are top notch!
