Our only complaint would be that the ice machine on the property did not function well at all. You could only get a few buckets of ice first thing in the morning or you were out of luck.

This realty company is not ethical. They misrepresented a vacation rental to us. It was a dump…read more Following is my review of 106 Bayview to TripAdvisor: "This place is a dump and the web site was a complete misrepresentation of this rental. We were embarrassed that we had invited relatives to go on this vacation with us. The house stunk. It looked as if there had been an attempt at renovation but someone gave up. Outside, there were construction debris and a trash container with a hideous odor (which had obviously been sitting for some time beside the street). There were mold and holes in the walls both upstairs and downstairs. Some lightning fixtures were installed too near the ceilings and the paint was burning off. We were afraid to leave the lights on for too long a time. One load of clothes in the washer and dryer took a very, very long time to cycle. The linens were threadbare and the mattresses uncomfortable. We were seriously overcharged for this rental and will never return to Islamorada."

I really recommend this houseboat vacation for any family who truly enjoys freezing freezing cold…read moreshowers, a broken air condition, no sheets for the sofa bed and no towels.

Perhaps three of the best days I ever spent on vacation…read more These are cruising houseboats that you can sail yourself even with minimal sailing background. I only had an introductory sailing course years back and yet was comfortable managing the boat. You are restricted to the bay side of the keys rather than the ocean side so currents and waves are minimal, and the water depth is shallow ( important for family members like my wife who are afraid of open water). Importantly you can take your pet along, which we did. We actually anchored in one beautiful spot for most of the time and were perfectly happy. It is magical being surrounded by nature in the Florida Keys, one of the most beautiful places in the country. We were lucky to have 3 perfect days, sunny with mild wind. We saw dolphins, sea turtles, water birds of all types and other sea life. During the day the turquoise water of the keys was magnificent and we saw the most beautiful sunsets ever, as well as the clearest night skies. I read the prior reviews and I believe that almost all of the negatives are due to the fact that this business changed management in late 2014. The new owner Ricki has decades of experience captaining yachts but has had a bit of a learning curve in running the business. Much of the equipment she inherited was in bad condition and she is replacing and fixing the houseboats as fast as she can. I believe she also had initial trouble finding good staff. My experience was that she was always available by phone and tried to be as accommodating as possible. The day we began our trip her new assistant Tom started. He was an Annapolis graduate having just recently finished his tour of duty with the navy. The boat we had was the smaller and least expensive; it was perhaps the oldest in her inventory and was being replaced in a few months. Yes it had some old equipment and furnishings, however, we found it perfectly clean. The layout is like a motel suite with picture windows everywhere. There was a full galley kitchen, refrigerator and outdoor barbecue. Once you leave dock you can't go back to stock up at the supermarket so you need to plan your meals in advance. If you are a good fisher you can probably catch most of your meals. Some items we wished we had brought were binoculars, mosquito repellent, fishing gear and a radio. Our iphones picked up strong cell phone and data signals so we never felt cut-off from our cyber dependency. The biggest consideration is that there is a limited amount of fresh water and 120 volt electricity requires you to run a generator. I would definitely recommend renting one of the larger newer houseboat models. The layout is spacious and the furnishings are beautiful. The one I saw had a door that closed the corridor and separated the boat into two living spaces. This would be perfect for two families. In summary, I loved this experience and I will do it again next year.

She showed us all around the apartment downstairs and how the lights, fans, air con works etc. Although there's no kitchen, there a coffee machine, toaster oven, microwave with a bagel toaster in the side, plenty of tea and coffee and heaps of snacks. There were some beers in the fridge that we were welcome to have too! There were plenty of beach towels to use and a drying rack put out so we would hang them up after using them. There's a little jetty out the back that you can sit and have a coffee in the morning or a drink at night. There was also a fire place out the back & wood. She warned us that sometimes great big iguana's hang out in the garden. She made us feel very welcome. Her husband even gave us a great trip for lunch (Chad's) that was close by and fantastic. The bathroom is small but complete with toiletries and a good size for two people to share. The rest of the apartment is quite large. Lots of toys and things to use as well. Although it downstars from someone's house, it was very private and comfortable. We left our iPhone charger behind and forgot to get our souvenir hat which she happily posted to us as well. All round a great experience.
