A nice stay.

We enjoyed our stay. Loved many things about Yacht Haven. Watching manatees from the boathouse was an interesting way to start the day. Many lovely sunsets across the water. The rooms are cramped. In my opinion more appropriate for a couple than a family. We wished the very cramped second bedroom with room for only a double bed and a 2’ passage to the bathroom had been turned into a small extra sitting area. All in all we recommend the accommodation.

The property and staff were very nice. The houseboat was set up very nice with everything someone could want for a short trip. It is walkable to Publix and sombrero beach (2 miles one way). One downside is you do hear the roosters and the air-conditioning through the thin walls. You are pretty close to your neighboring boats on the deck facing the water. There is ample air conditioning units (3) to keep the unit cool, however likely not a lot of insulation which may be something to consider if you're traveling during the hotter months. Overall, great stay and very good value.

The staff were professional and caring. The view from our unit was spectacular! We encountered dolphins and manatee every evening. Units are spacious- 2 queen and loft bed upstairs. It comes with a kitchen- stove top, microwave, refrigerator and some pots/pans. Few improvements would be nice- full size working coffee pot and floors cleaned. I saw another review about black going everywhere and they were right. My family had black on the bottom of their feet/my toddler black on his face. There has to be an eco friendly cleaner that can clean/sanitize the floor. Other than that the unit was amazing! Beautiful sunsets and close to everything

Spent most of a week in one of the houseboats, it was super clean and comfortable. It was a real nice alternative to a hotel room, fun to watch the fish and manatee from the balcony and the view was awesome too, we will return!

We saw a manatee right at our boathouse so that was great. It didn’t have an oven so that was interesting making dinners especially since the BBQs didn’t have propane and when we got a tank we couldn’t use it because we needed a wrench to open the valve. It was centrally located in the Keys, so that made for easy traveling. We enjoyed ourselves.

Lovely location, gorgeous outlook & we loved the houseboat, everything you needed and all seemed very clean & new. Made use of the free bikes to go to Sombrero Beach for a well needed swim but nice to come back for a chilled evening on the houseboat. Jo wasn’t there when we arrived but keys left in arrivals box which was great a we were early. She was very friendly & helpful when we met her the next day.

We enjoyed our stay here. Pros: houseboat is roomy, good air conditioning, plenty of pots and pans, dishes. Coffee pot available. Had extras of towels including beach towels at the main office. Being able to access the cabana beach club (ten minutes away) was a great plus as they have a beautiful pool and private beach access. The best part of the boat is having the manatees come by. Cons: you are not allowed to fish off the actual boat and I rented this so my husband could easily fish. It does not state on the listing that fishing is not allowed in the boat. Cleaning fee is a bit steep for no daily housekeeping service.
