About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire house boat to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Island Sanctuary Islamorada

Stay aboard the eco-friendly two-story 63 ft River Queen with a 360 degree view with beautiful sunrises and sets, mored 1/8 mi offshore in a quite harbor close to shopping center, movie theater, hospital, bars & restaurants. A 10-foot dinghy with small outboard to come & go from shore "ONLY", nowhere else.
I also offer Personal Training, deep tissue work & Life Coach sessions.
I live on the vessel about a hundred yards from you so if there are any questions, etc.
I will be there to assist you.
The space
63 ft. two-story Eco Friendly River Queen vessel mored off shore in a protected Harbor with a 360-degree rotating View.
It's equipped with solar panels & a wind generator.
There's a 10 ft dinghy to get to & from Shore "ONLY", nowhere else. It's a stable vessel so there's no rocking and rolling . The sunrise &
sets are beautiful.
Enjoy your journey.
Guest access
You"ll have access to the whole vessel which has a downstairs, upstairs & a rooftop.
Only two people allowed on the boat, "No" exceptions.
Other things to note
I have a rain water system that supplies the vessel & I ask that there is conservation of water. So when taking shower "Please" use it sparingly.
(I may have to come over and put my gutter hoses into my water tank if it begins raining but I will not disturb you as I will not have to come inside)
You can see the bathroom & shower on my photos.
"IMPORTANT", While running the generator, the downstairs front windows have to be open and if they are closed due to cold weather or rain make sure you close the upstairs back sliding glass doors so it doesn't create a backdraft to bring the fumes into the boat.
If you have any other questions please ask.
Only two people allowed on the boat, "No" exceptions
Thanks.

Additional rules
Only "TWO" people allowed on the boat due to insurance policies, dinghy size, freshwater supply & blackwater tank and that means "No" visitors.
Please do dishes and keep the vessel clean. "No loud music". Thanks, enjoy

breath taking view
We enjoyed our stay. We are avid campers and love to be outdoors. It was camping on the water with beautiful views right out our window. Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. A couple of encounters with dolphins. Our host was very attentive and made sure our needs were met.

Perfect!! Exactly what we were looking for:
Kelly was a great host. The boat was clean and comfortable. We caught the red eye from SLC and Kelly was nice enough to let us check in a little early. We had a great time and were able to recharge and get ready for our weekend in Key West. I would absolutely recommend this property.

Houseboat living.
Nice, enjoyable area. Plenty of space on this houseboat. Owner is very personalable and quite accommodating. Any issue and he is there promply. Stove ran out of propane and he was over in 10 minutes to install new tank I would definately recommend staying here. Thank you for the enjoyable stay, Kelly..

Great Stay in the Keys
Our stay on this houseboat brought back memories of staying on boats when we lived in South Florida. Kelly, our host, was very informative, easy to talk with, friendly and patient. Kelly is an artist and has a number of his works displayed on the houseboat. We love visiting the Keys and next time we'll have to book a longer stay.
