THE SPACE
-------------------------------------------------------------
Experience rustic luxury on board our one-of-a-kind houseboat. The main room is surrounded by floor-to-ceiling windows, revealing endless views of the ocean and sky. Curtains can be drawn for privacy. The high canvas ceiling makes the space feel expansive, and the simple design lets you feel at-one with nature.
Enjoy direct access to a nearby sandbar where you can soak up some Key West magic, or you can reach a nearby island if you prefer to lay out on its rustic beach.
There is a full en suite bathroom on board, plus a combined kitchenette/walk-in closet area where you can enjoy coffee from a Keurig machine, keep your beverages cool, and store your belongings. A gasoline-powered, electric-start generator can be accessed directly from the closet area, allowing you to have electricity on board without the need to pull any chords or fill any gas tanks (the generator's exhaust fumes are directed to blow outside of the houseboat).
All reservations include a two-person kayak, a floating water mat, snorkel gear, and hammocks.

GUEST ACCESS
-------------------------------------------------------------
To access the houseboat, which is anchored on the water about 5-10 minutes from shore, guests are responsible for coordinating and paying for their own transportation to and from land. Guests are free to bring their own boat or vessel. For guests who do not have their own transportation, there are a few options listed below.

PRIVATE RIDES
------------------------------------------------------------
There are local captains typically available to give you a ride at an affordable rate and flexible schedule. After booking, we will forward their contact information so that you can book directly with one of the captains.

BEACH RESORT ACCESS
------------------------------------------------------------
Alternatively, guests can reach the houseboat via kayak or paddleboard (if they bring their own). As one option, a local company provides rentals at a nearby beach resort, and full access to the resort beach, pool, and tiki bar are included in their rental price (food can also be purchased from the tiki bar). The houseboat is within visible distance of the beach resort, making for easy travel between the two during the rental company's hours of operation. (Please note that there is no agreement in place for overnight parking, so we do not recommend this as your primary mode of transport). We can provide the company's information after booking. For now, please be advised of some of their rates below:
Long Term Rates: (minimum of 3 days)
Double Kayak – $60/day (3-4 days) or $45/day (5-7 days)

*Note: the host makes no warranties or guarantees as to the availability or quality of any third-party service listed above.

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
-------------------------------------------------------------
COMPLIANCE WITH FLORIDA LAW
Please read our Rental Agreement carefully before booking. Florida law requires houseboats to comply with certain rules and formalities. By submitting a booking with us through VRBO or affiliates, each guest explicitly agrees to be bound by the terms of our "Vacation Rental Agreement," which are shown in our listing.
In order to comply with Florida law and receive the access code to enter the property, EACH GUEST must do the following before the day of check-in:
1. Fill out, sign, and return a full copy of the Vacation Rental Agreement, which will be sent to you separately after booking via SignWell. (Remember, you can read a full copy of the Agreement's terms in our listing).
2. Send us a copy of your valid, unexpired photo ID
3. If born after 1987, send us a copy of your valid Florida boating safety ID card OR a temporary certificate (these can easily and quickly be acquired online, and we can send you the information after booking)
4. Watch the Pre-Rental Instruction Video (we will provide the video after booking)
5. Initial, sign, and return a copy of the "Livery Pre-Rental and Pre-Ride Instruction Checklist and Attestation Form" which we will provide after booking (each guest needs to fill out their own form)
EXPECTATIONS ABOUT YOUR STAY
Because of the houseboat's “off the grid” location on the ocean, it is important that guests have proper expectations about their stay.
________________________________________
FRESHWATER
-------------------------------------------------------------
The houseboat will have approximately 150 gallons of freshwater at check-in. Renters are responsible for making sure that they conserve enough water, and they are strongly encouraged to keep each shower to a maximum of 15 minutes and to turn off the sink’s faucet when not in use. If applicable, and at no extra charge, we will refill the water tanks every fourth day of your stay (or less often, if water consumption is lower than expected).
If more water is needed, guests can request a refill for an extra fee. However, we cannot guarantee that extra water can be delivered quickly enough, since the water is delivered through a third-party.
________________________________________
ELECTRICITY
-------------------------------------------------------------
A gasoline-powered generator is provided on board. The generator needs to be turned on in order to use: the A/C unit, and the coffeemaker. If the batteries are properly charged, then Renters will not need to turn on the generator in order to use: the phone charger/outlet that is by the bed, or the LED lights that wrap around the room. However, in the rare event that these items have no power, it is a sign that the generator needs to be turned on in order to charge the batteries.
________________________________________
AIR CONDITIONING
-------------------------------------------------------------
Guests should be aware that on sunny days, the temperature inside the houseboat will be hot. The A/C unit can help to cool the temperature. However, when it is sunny, the A/C unit should not be expected to create a cold environment. (The A/C DOES create a chilly environment at night!)
In order to better cool off during the day, guests should direct the intensity and direction of the A/C unit’s fan by using the remote control. (For example, if guests are in the seating area, they should adjust the fan to blow in that direction.) The door should remain closed in order to facilitate the cooling.
________________________________________
FOOD
-------------------------------------------------------------
Guests are responsible for bringing their own food and drinking water. Some bottles of water will be provided as a courtesy, but guests should arrange to bring extra drinking water on board (we cannot guarantee that the freshwater provided in the tanks is safe for drinking). Guests are responsible for coordinating their transportation between the houseboat and shore to make food trips. If guests choose to rely on any third-party service (such as a water taxi), guests need to be mindful of that service’s rules and times of operation to avoid running out of food.
Additionally, if you let us know in advance, we can help you coordinate with a third party food delivery service. They typically charge $20-30 to deliver food directly to the houseboat.
________________________________________
WHAT TO BRING
-------------------------------------------------------------
In addition to food and water, guests should bring plenty of sunblock for protection from the strong Florida sun. There is plenty of turtle grass in the area, so water shoes are highly recommended to protect your feet from any cuts or scrapes.
