Review of Johnny's houseboat

Excellent vacation spot. Quite relaxing and fun to stay on a houseboat. Johnny was a very good host, responsive to any of our questions. Check in was very easy with plenty to do in Key Largo. We would stay again if we go back to the Keys.

Great Find

We had such a nice time on the boat. It was close to bars and restaurants and just a great location. Being able to use the pool at the hotel was a huge plus. We had very good communication with the owner and his sidekick Melvin. The boat is spacious and nicely laid out. We were all glad we stayed here.

Very enjoyable stay on this houseboat. It was fun just to sit on the deck with a drink and watch the other boats go by. Lots of pelicans, ibises, seagulls, (even vultures,) etc, to observe. More of a unique experience than staying at a regular hotel/motel. Plenty of space, kitchen had what we needed and more, clean, and a good location for all of our planned activities on Key Largo. You can walk to some of the fishing charter docks and are only minutes from Pennekamp state water park. Temperature controls worked well, as did the entertainment system.Johnny the host was accessible via text and the app and responded promptly to our inquiries. I would stay here again and would recommend it to others.
