Quick stop in the Keys

Wanted to try something different so decided to stay in the houseboat this past weekend. Was fun and different and located close to so many great restaurants and things to do in Islamorada. The Marina has a great outside bar and food truck and a nice pool. Overall a terrific weekend!

Perfect little house boat!

If you’re looking for a unique place to stay in the keys then don’t hesitate to book The Dolphin. It’s clean, has all the essentials and is close to some great snorkeling, diving, kayaking, fishing and restaurants! We loved spending time on the top deck of the house boat and even had a manatee visit us one afternoon! We look forward to staying here again!
