Houseboat vacation rentals in Florida

Great location with an awesome view! Clean and the owner responds quickly to questions.

Had an amazing stay at this airbnb! Extremely comfortable for 6 people and looks even better than the pictures. We loved having a pool table and plenty of kayaks for everyone. Lisa is an awesome host and went out of her way to make sure our stay was perfect, including restaurant recommendations, a welcoming check in and out and was very communicative throughout the process. P.s.: Don’t skip the Piri Piri restaurant! They have delicious food.

Great customer service and very friendly staff We stayed on the Manatee boat and it was very clean with some minor issues the staff would be happy to attend to if I asked them. We just didn’t use the tv much, but it wouldn’t turn off so we just placed it on soft music and used it for a sleep aid 🤷🏻‍♀️🥰 Mike, the guy there recommended we stay in the Grey Lady next time but this was a great experience for us.

We stayed at this wonderful houseboat as we began our trip to the Florida Keys and it was perfect! We saw manatees, enjoyed dinner at the outdoor bar with locals, and had a beautiful view of the sunset. Great location with a wonderful host!

While the place isn't fancy, it is an actual houseboat after all, it was awesome. Comfortable bed but views to die for and you are literally having you morning coffee, watching the sunrise and are literally 1 foot from the water. The river is a very active one...we saw manatee, gators, gar and hundred of mullet jumping out of the water. the best was the shrimp boats at dusk...you really have to experience this place. and ps. walking distance to downtown Apalachicola is a real bonus

We totally enjoyed our 12 night stay on the "Why Knot" houseboat. Michael met us when we arrived, showed us around and pointed out anything that needed special instructions. The boat was very clean, had brand new carpet, and had everything we needed. The town of Sanford is very walkable. We enjoyed the community theater, the winery and local restaurants.

Lauren was nothing short of amazing. Every detail was spot on. Arriving at the boathouse, we had no trouble entering and feeling welcomed. The house had everything we needed from clean linens to cutting boards. The dock was our favorite. The view was gorgeous, especially at night. We spent much of our time enjoying the sun, drinking coffee, and eating meals outside. Lauren even provided a binder with local places and fun things to try. I couldn’t be happier with our stay. I would definitely book with Lauren again!

Amazing experience staying her!. Such a different experience. Sergey was an amazing host explained everything and anything you needed was extremely responsive immediately would highly recommend his boat house.

This was the perfect getaway! Frank was incredibly helpful and the boat had everything we needed. The island was absolutely beautiful - it was the best way to experience Key West without the crowds!

Brilliant place - never stayed anywhere like it before. Quirky and an amazing location. Was so nice to come back and chill on the top deck at night. Johnny was great and even helped out when I needed a package delivered before I arrived. Would highly recommend !

If you are looking for a peaceful, private and beautiful location to stay, Natalie's houseboat is the place for you! This place was awesome and so was Natalie! She made sure we had everything we needed (and then some) to make this the best stay ever. The houseboat was spotless and very well appointed. Loved having coffee on the upper deck, being right on the water, watching the sunsets from the jacuzzi every evening, the daily visits from dolphins and even a manitee, I could go on and on. Thank you for a most relaxing and enjoyable stay. Needless to say, we will be back!

It was incredible, great - beyond words! Just a dream, especially the many dolphins around the boat!! Thanks for the great time, Bruce

Absolutely wonderful stay! We thoroughly enjoyed every moment spent on the "Comfortably Numb". She's an older gal, bit still has a lot of life left in her. 'She' stole our hearts the minute we walked through her door! And HUGE kudos to our host, Kelly. She was the best - very warm and welcoming! Her response time was top notch, especially when you consider how crazy busy she stays. But, she was always available if we had any questions, and shared some great recommendations with us for places to check out in the area during our stay. Thank you Kelly for everything and please never lose that positive energy that you possess. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to return to the yacht again in the not-so-distant future. Until then, we will cherish the memories made aboard the "Comfortably Numb", always and forever!

What a wonderful host! Very nice, clean, cozy and comfortable houseboat. Location is quiet and very well reached by car with parking close at hand. Communication with Jill was very friendly, straightforward and respectful. Everything was as described and exactly as pictured. We will be happy to come back and recommend this place! God bless!

This was a great place to stay, and a unique experience being a houseboat. Safe and clean. And a great view to start your day, or end it. Great place.

This is a fantastic destination to explore if you're looking to experience something unique.

We stayed a week-it was perfect! This is truly a one of a kind vacation experience and we will absolutely be back. The hosts were very easy to work with and helpful and attentive while we were there. There are some rustic aspects of the experience but those are well defined ahead of time and even after 6 nights we would have gladly stayed longer if they could have accommodated us.

Our stay in Jupiter was great. Location on the water gave us opportunity to fish off the rental and soak up some sun. Walking distance to waterfront restaurants and close to the beach/inlet. Our fishing charter even picked us up at the houseboat. Overall, we had a great experience.

What a beautiful place to escape to! We felt like we were in our own little corner of paradise staying on Grace. There was everything on board needed to cook a fantastic meal and enjoy it sitting on the upper deck while taking in the beautiful surroundings. Rose is an awesome human and a phenomenal host! Thank you Rose for making my houseboat dream come true! 🩷

Relaxing view, peaceful surroundings. Only excitement was coast guard doing a check, it was most excitement we had which is a huge plus! Open windows at night, best part of the boat are the cushioned seats at the front to enjoy the cool breeze. Kelly is super awesome as a host, couldn’t ask for better!

What a unique and lovely stay we had on the houseboat. The peaceful sound of the water lapping through the night is something I won’t forget! Our hosts were helpful in getting everything setup and comfortable for our stay. The microwave and fridge worked great. Our daughter loved using the paddle boards. We would recommend.

I can’t say enough about this spot! It was everything we wanted and more! We were looking for a weekend getaway where we could bring our boat. Deanna made it so easy! She was quick to respond to all of our questions before the trip and was super accommodating once we were there. They have fuel for our boat which made the trip that much easier. We had a great time fishing and being able to park the boat next to where we were sleeping made it that much better! Not to mention coming back to a nice shower and cold A.C. We fished inshore, offshore, and fished the Skyway Bridge multiple times- my favorite was the Skyway Bridge at night (also a suggestion from our host!)

What an awesome experience! Unfortunately there were high winds during our stay so we weren’t able to do any of the fun extras (kayaking, snorkeling, etc) but it was awesome enough just hanging out. We were concerned about feeling sea sick with the high winds but the boat was very stable. Didn’t feel wobbly when we got to the main land after our stay. The house was roomy enough for the 4 of us. The hammocks were great. Cooking on the grill out on the water was really fun. We’re already planning another trip out but will be sure to get out to the back country for that stay!
