Visit to Key West Florida
Everything was flawless!!! Glen was there to greet us upon our arrival and to show us the property. The facility was magnificent. The only thing better was the personal attention given us by both Glen and Abby. We made some wonderful new friend. We will definitely do business again. Nice job, folks.

Serenity on The Serenity
What can I say. The Serenity is beautiful. Nick was great with scheduling and pre trip questions. Once there, Glenn and Abby are your hosts who live on shore next to the boat. The nicest people and go out of their way to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. Definitely consider the sunset cruise. Also used the kayak to tool around the harbor and swimming off the dock. Downtown Key West was a 10 minute Uber ride away. Do know that this is a boat. It’s not a hotel with room service, etc. It’s an eclectic opportunity to have a cool experience. We will be back! And along with Glenn and Abby is Charlie, the friendliest dog around.

Boat life Key West style!
We had an amazing stay! Serenity was absolutely beautiful, incredibly roomy and comfortable, and our hosts were more than accommodating! Walking distance to Hogfish Bar & Grille, only minutes to downtown, it was a truly unique to Key West experience. Highly recommend staying here! We can’t wait for our next visit and will definitely stay here again if it’s available!

Glen provided a wholesome experience during our night yacht stay in Key West. The beautiful and well-equipped yacht, along with a sunset sail, fun activities like snorkeling and kayaking, and even a water slide, made our stay memorable. Glen's role as a perfect host and personal lifeguard added an extra layer of comfort. Highly recommend this fantastic getaway!"
