Lovely location, gorgeous outlook & we loved the houseboat, everything you needed and all seemed very clean & new. Made use of the free bikes to go to Sombrero Beach for a well needed swim but nice to come back for a chilled evening on the houseboat. Jo wasn’t there when we arrived but keys left in arrivals box which was great a we were early. She was very friendly & helpful when we met her the next day.

We’ve stayed before so knew what to expect. It’s a little gem. Hidden, but worth finding. The check in process was a bit stressful- they email you a few hours before check in with details. However, the email had gone into the junk mail folder so caused some confusion. The place was very, very clean. The views of the sea were breathtaking. We were made to feel very welcome… hence the return visit! I would recommend this place!

We stayed here for one night during our visit to Marathon in the Florida Keys. The location was nice enough and convenient for exploring the area. Our room was situated at the front of the property, so there was quite a lot of road and car park noise, although this was somewhat expected given the location. It did feel as though the front window was open, despite being closed, as it did very little to block out the outside noise. On the positive side, the room was incredibly spacious, with a...
