Located in a very quiet bay. Houseboat is super clean and Bill is great to work with - very responsive to questions and needs. There is not much in walking distance, so a golf cart (highly recommend), scooter, or bike would be necessary.

Hosts were awesome/highly responsive without being overbearing. Very friendly. Great location/beautiful setting. A bit obscure to find, but that just added to the charm. Awesome wildlife viewing! Easy access to all things Keys... Well supplied and comfortable. :-) Will return!!!

Our family (2 parents + teen) spent 3 nights on the houseboat and it totally exceeded our expectations! We loved getting up every morning and scanning the water around the boat to find all sorts of creatures. We saw many fish, starfish, nurse sharks and, best of all, a manatee from the boat!
Bill and Ben took care of everything we needed during our stay. We rented paddleboards directly from Bill which was a huge time saver. We used them each day of our stay and saw most of the bay during our limited time. Paddling to Hurricane Hole for lunch was a highlight. Bill also arranged a pink shrimp order for us to be delivered right to the property. Again, a time saver which was much appreciated.
The neighborhood where the boat is located is super quiet. A nice respite from Duval Street craziness yet still only a few minutes away from it if that's your thing. Best of both worlds.
I was a little nervous that a houseboat would not have a good bathroom and/or kitchen. This was not an issue at all. The complete kitchen stocked with every pot, pan dish we needed. The water was good and it was a nice hot shower.

The property is amazing, It is tucked away in the beautiful private cove. You can stand on the dock and see star fish, octopus, and all types of marine life at any time. We drove our 38ft powerboat from Miami to the property. When we arrived there was parking for our boat, plenty of dock space, everything was ready for us, and the Houseboat was Excellent. We had a part fail on our personal power boat that we drove down while we were staying and Bill and Wendy took the time to help us get it fixed and saved our trip! They rode with us to a marina and arranged for our boat to be lifted out of the water over a leaking trim line. The line wasn't available so they had ours repaired for us at a local shop, and all within a few hours. They are amazing hosts. They made the whole trip that much better. The beds were amazing, stores were close by, they let the kids use their paddle boards, and even took us out in their Center console for a ride. I just can't say enough good things about this place. We plan to go back.

We had a great time on the houseboat. Mr. Bill was very accommodating. We were able to fish right off the boat, which was great. The only “issue” was no Wifi. My hotspot would never connect to the tv, so we weren’t able to watch the Gold Cup. Other then that we had a great time.

Our family stayed here for a week in Paradise and had an amazing time. The host was very helpful and was there when we had any questions about anything. He was very knowledgeable about all the amazing places to fish and even had a slot for our boat rental. Thank you so much Bill. We look forward to staying with you again!!!

We had a fabulous time staying on the house boat! It was perfect for our family, we were vacationing with our grown sons 22 & 24 they thought it was great!
We had plenty of space and everything we needed for our 6 night stay .
We loved Fishing and swimming from the boat.
The location was very private!
It was just close enough to downtown KW . We rented a golf cart to use when going downtown.

We could not have ask for a better rental. This is a great alternative to the crowded resorts and hotels but still offers all the Key West vibes and experiences plus some you couldn’t get from the traditional rentals. The property, location, and host were all wonderful.

You never know what your're going to get on VRBO so I went into the trip skeptical but hopeful. We were pleasantly surprised to pull up to brand new floating docks and a pair of very well preserved and maintained houseboats. The beds, baths and kitchen were immaculate and well outfitted for cooking. The grill on the front deck was perfect for cooking up the fish that we caught on our daily outings.
What impressed me the most was when we told Bill (the owner) that we needed to find fuel and ice for the boat at 10pm Saturday night he arranged for ice (300#) to be delivered that night and fuel (450 gal) arrived at 7:30 am Sunday. Between the anglers in our group we’ve been everywhere and none of us had experienced hospitality like that. We will definitely be staying on one of Bills boats on our next Key West fishing trip.
