Really nice visit.

All three adults enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable. The back deck was delightful. The people that work there are very friendly and helpful. You are close to other boats but no one was loud. I’m a light sleeper so I wore ear plugs. There is a place to eat, soft live music and drinks next door. I would stay here again.

Family Weekend

We normally stay in hotel rooms when we travel, so we thought it would be fun to try a house boat when I saw the option. We had all the comforts that a hotel provides, but with a way cooler atmosphere. Our only disappointment it that we didn't stay long enough to try the pool and restaurant. Good experience. We'd stay again.

We were happy with our stay in the Manatee. We were celebrating a 50th birthday on a girls' trip and it was the perfect place for it. It's in a great location, and listening to the water lapping beneath us as we slept was lovely. We spent time enjoying the sun on the rooftop. Our only complaint (and definitely not your fault) was that we were there during the cold snap and there were no extra blankets. We went out and bought blankets so we could sleep at night in the unseasonably cold weather. I just suggest that you have some blankets for use during chillier times. There is no heat on the houseboat (I'm sure it would be seldom used). My other suggestion would be that you post a couple of things in the bathroom. First, there were five of us there and only one could shower (and a short one) at a time. If we waited 45 minutes or so, another could shower. Maybe if you had signage that indicated that. We supplemented by going to the shower by the pool. (Not convenient.) Second, post that no hairdryers or curling tools may be used on the houseboat. The info is in the check-in information, but I'm sure could be easily overlooked upon arriving. Overall, we had a delightful stay :).

Check-in was easy. Mike at the resort showed us our houseboat. He asked if it was okay or if we wanted another available houseboat. (We stayed with the one we picked, Captain's Quarters.) The houseboat was well stocked with any items we could have needed. This was so very relaxing. The gentle swaying of the boat on the water, the sounds of the water splashing against the sides. Oh boy, now I want to live on a houseboat!

I reluctantly agreed to try out the houseboat experience at my husband's urging and I am so happy I did. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting on the deck right on the water. I have to say that Michael was an amazing manager. He was very responsive to all our requests and spent a lot of time showing us the different houseboats. Our houseboat was a little small for us and now that we have seen the other houseboats, we know which one to pick for our next visit. I also loved the community at the marina. We met several people who lived on their boats and they were all friendly and seemed to have each others backs. We are definitely going back - Thank you for your hospitality Mike.

We had a great time on the Grey Lady!

We hadn't been to the Keys in years and decided to try something different by staying on a houseboat for our 5 night vacay instead of a big building hotel. We're so glad we did! We chose the Grey Lady because we needed the room for 5 adults (2 couples, one single). We had the BEST time! It was really nice to have all the space to spread out our stuff and relax and having 2 bathrooms for the 5 of us was wonderful. We were able to save considerable money on dining out by meal planning and fixing our own meals in the kitchenette on the boat. Absolutely loved the view we were able to enjoy within the marina, even got to see a couple of horseshoe crabs! Mike Clarke, the Resort Manager for the houseboats, ensured we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable, before and during our stay. He returned pre-travel phone calls within 24 hours and provided friendly and detailed instructions for checking in after hours (it was 11p when we arrived). He checked with us our first day to make sure we were happy with our houseboat and answer any questions or requests. Got to chat with him a couple times during our stay (he lives on site). It's easy to see he truly wants people to enjoy their stay and he works to make it happen. The front office personnel always greeted us with a smile, everyone was friendly and happy to answer our questions. We're definitely going to take another family vacay at Mangrove Marina and stay in a houseboat! Gonna try to make it happen before Jun 2024.
