Great family vacation!
Aimee was wonderful with communication before our arrival date. The location is perfect, close to all activities but yet nestled away. The boat house was exactly as pictured, cute, quaint and clean. The property has an outdoor pool, bbq area and outdoor showers (my favorite!) The bar / restaurant was closed during our stay so that was a bit of a bummer but there are so many other places close by it wasn't that big of a deal. The only (slight) negative that I would say is the price. Other then that it was a perfect stay!

great place for long weekend
Houseboat was located at end of the pier providing great views. It had a great living room area and deck overlooking the harbor. The kitchen did not have a stove but made it work. One of the bedrooms was small but manageable - overall great place for weekend

Fun in the Sun
I brought my granddaughter on this trip for her spring break. The houseboat was such a nice and unique place to stay and she loved it. The location is perfect for all of the things that you might want to do in the Keys but at the same time quiet and peaceful on the water. The boat was very clean and well stocked. The people at the office were very helpful and everything from check in to check out went smoothly.

Unique place in the Florida Keys - and best houseboat on the dock!
We really enjoyed our stay on the Grey Lady. Location, location, location! The houseboat is the last one on the slip and faces out into the mangrove marina, with lovely views. It’s also very spacious inside. Upstairs is an open LR -DR area with access to the outdoor seating area. Below are the four bedrooms and two baths. There’s a small heated pool at the marina, which our kids enjoyed on cool winter evenings. Didn’t get any advanced communication like some VRBO properties, but Mike called us on the day of check-in to let us know that the office closes at 5 pm and he left a packet out for us, so check-in was easy. He also left the houseboat lights on for us, which we appreciated. The kitchen does not have a traditional stove top. There are two electric hot plates. There’s lots of refrigerator space (2 minis plus a small fridge-freezer upright). Regular-sized coffee maker, microwave, and toaster. We comfortably ate breakfast and lunches but decided to eat dinners out. We didn’t need the fourth bedroom with the single bed but it’s a small space - would be perfect for a kid. All in all, this was a fun experience and great location to enjoy the Florida Keys!

Just three adult males looking to do some fishing and diving for 4 days in the keys. Found this place, it was perfect for our needs. The only thing that didn't cooperate was the weather but that's certainly wasn't the houseboat's fault. Already planning another trip during better weather.!

Something different
We were trying to find something different than a hotel/in and came across the houseboats. Checking was easy, the place was clean. A relaxing stay while being close to everything key largo, tavernier, and Islamorada have to offer. As a plus, we saw dolphins and jellyfish floating around in the mornings.

The Grey Lady was wonderful!
It was fun staying on a houseboat as a group. The management took great care of us and let us park the motorcycles up nice and close to the dock. They recommended a charter boat for fishing out of Key Largo that we thoroughly enjoyed and supplied little random things when we needed them. We would definitely go back!

Perfect spot to hangout in the Keys
Our family of four and two friends were very happy with this rental. The location is great, right on the end of the harbor with magnificent sunsets off the back deck. And there is a perfect little restaurant/bar in the harbor that we went to often for drinks and tacos. The whole experience was excellent thank you!
