Boat vacation rentals in Southern United States

We had an amazing time aboard the Zep Tepi! The boat is beautiful and spacious and the marina and setting are lovely! If you want to really get away and experience sleeping with the peaceful rocking of a boat, book this now! Chelsea was responsive and helpful as we got used to the workings of a boat too.

Just as the previous reviews state, Rob was tremendous in every single aspect. He is especially great with communication and is incredibly thoughtful and accommodating with bottled water and he provided a treat in the form of Charleston wafers, which my family loved. Rob even check-in with us to see how things were going along the way. I was initially concerned about how comfortable my family of five would be, but Rob reassured me that we would be fine and I’m happy to report he was right. To give you an idea I’m 6’3” 300lbs, my wife is 6 foot, my oldest is also 6’3”, the other two aren’t a big concern YET anyway with respect to height and weight. We all slept comfortably and had fun diving into nightly movies from his movie collection on-board to avoid the heat. We had an awesome experience on The First Lite and hope you will too. Thank you so much Rob for sharing your vessel with us to build on our family memories.

Steve is such a nice guy! He is quick to respond if you have questions, and we had some good conversations about the local area. The boat is gorgeous! This is such a unique place to stay. We enjoyed dolphin watching with our morning coffee and exploring the different parts of the boat. We usually struggle to find accommodations for our family of 5, but this was perfect; we could have even brought a friend and still felt comfortable. There are multiple bathrooms and a great kitchen area.

Loved our stay. I unique way to stay in Charleston. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a great time on the boat. It is definitely best described as glamping but with everything you need and the bonus of air con, refrigerator and small freezer, microwave and TV. it was lovely sitting out on the boat. The marina is very well kept, great heated pool and restaurant. we saw dolphins and gators walking around the marina. the only negatives were the odd smell on the boat (musty smell) and the on board toilets (which were also very smelly) - however the marina have a nice shower/toilet block and very short walk from the boat. Charlie was very attentive and the cakes, milk and bottled water was much appreciated.

The location is great, the quality of the boat and everything was also great. The charter experience was very cool as well. Just ensure you are able to check in before 5pm as it can cause issues.

This space looked like it did in the pics per the listing. My favorite part of my trip was the bed and the communication lol David and Angela were so nice and they were easy to reach. The boat was beautiful though and like I said, the bed...between that and the waves...I slept SO well! It was a great experience. I’ve already recommended to friends and family and I would definitely go again!

This place is amazing. I loved talked to Captain Ron and could spend hours talking to him. I would absolutely pay to go back just to sit and talk to Captain Ron. On the other note his boat is beautiful and amazing the scenery is beautiful. I had a peaceful quiet stay enjoying dinner and watching some good movies on the nice size flat screen tv on the boat. I will definitely be back again to stay even longer. Ohhhhhhh and I almost forgot the bed omg I have never slept so peaceful and comfortable in a longgggg time!!!! You will love it here!!!!

Susan and Chris were very responsive and helpful with everything we needed and shared a lot of information about the boat and the area. My spouse and I had never stayed on a boat before this trip. Susan & Chris were able to give us have a truly positive and memorable boating experience. We plan to visit again in the future and encourage others to as well.

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.

Dennis was more than hospitable. Periodic showers come through in Florida regularly and he was always attentive if we needed extra towels to dry the boat. He even brought out fishing rags for my husband to use. This was a trial to see if we would like to houseboat part-time in retirement. The verdict was a definitive YES!

This was a perfect experience!!!! Exactly what I needed!!! It a very unique experience and a perfect way to getaway and unwind simply!! My husband and I took a quick Florida getaway to beat the NJ winter and this place was exactly what I needed. It was such a wonderful change of pace. It truly reminded me that life is simple. Keeping it simple is where happiness lives. Thank Alejandro. You are amazing!!!!

Why sleep in a hotel , when u can sleep on a boat? It was in a great location with convenient parking on the island in Ft Pierce. Close to everythin in the area. Comfortable beds. Ice cold air. Great water pr... Date of experience: May 2025

It was perfect for our little getaway. We loved the vintage feeling. The views all day and night were so nice. You can’t be much closer to the water than ON the water!!!! The complimentary breakfast was so sweet of them.

Words cannot describe how awesome this experience was for our family of 3!! You will be disappointed if you do not take the yacht out to the cove for two nights. As a family, we do not give gifts, we take adventures, and this is BY FAR THE BEST one yet!!!! My son is 28 and special needs and had absolutely no problems on the yacht. The kayaks were awesome to take out in the cove. We planned it so we would be able to watch the Blue Angles practice over the water and that was worth it right there! Vance and Kristi were awesome hosts!! We had car trouble, which caused us to be delayed a while, and they were very flexible with the entire trip! The yacht is set up with everything you will need but your food if you go out. The yacht has a gas grill outside and everything in the galley you need to cook! We fished, swam, watched fish and other aquatics, and even had a sandbar to use in the cove! Amazing yacht with even more amazing owners!!! You have got to try this!!! You will not regret it!!

Such a memorable stay from the scenic view to saying on a boat. My husband & I spent our honeymoon at Diane’s place and it exceeded our expectations. Diane was very responsive and always made sure we were accommodated comfortably. We can’t wait to come back to the outer banks and relax here again.

Just got back from an amazing weekend on Endless Summer. Had never stayed on a boat like this before, and it was a really unique and memorable experience. We really enjoyed just sitting out on the deck of the boat with a book and cocktail, watching the boat traffic and wildlife. The hosts were also very thoughtful, friendly & welcoming. Hope to visit again soon! Highly recommended.

We LOVED our stay. Of all the Airbnb experiences I have had around the USA this one stands out above all others. When you come to the Keys this is what you want, not a resort or Hampton Inn. I enjoyed hot coffee on the top deck in the morning and watching the sun set in the evenings. Fantastic host and fantastic and spotless clean accommodations on the boat house.

Great host, in every way! Cute, quaint, lovely place to enjoy quiet for two people, but also close to action if you want it. Can’t wait to stay again in a few months.

This is such a nice place to stay truly! It was peaceful, I wish we had time to use the kayaks or charter a boat ride but the boat was perfect nonetheless. It was pretty cold at night but it warmed up quickly in the morning once all that sun started to come in. The extra blankets and the smart TV was night to relax and watch a movie. I will definitely be rebooking in the future, hosts were super kind and helpful (:

This stay at the FUNSHINE was everything we had hoped for. We are boat people so the evenings up on deck were incredibly relaxing. Would highly recommend!

A wonderful experience! We enjoyed our week on the Yacht, "Comfortably Numb". The Host was exceptional. Keliy, was very clear and attentive. She recommended bike rentals, local attractions, beach location, and views from the deck. The place smelled fresh and clean. The indoor temperature was cool. The humidity was controlled. We loved the bean bag seats to watch the sunrise and sunsets from the deck. The indoor accommodations was very large, roomy, and comfortable. We plan to reserve this place again in the future. We learned alot since we are are planning to purchase a yacht for full time living and charter boat fishing. Keliy was a sweetheart with engaging communication as we asked lots about boating questions. Our first visit to The Keys was amazing. Thank you! Janice Correa & Captain Bernie Kohler

It is hard to put into words how surreal it is vacationing on Mikes yacht. If anyone is thinking about booking and reading this, just go for it. The yacht, Turtle IV, is the most well maintained and cared for boat we have ever been on. Ever square inch is perfectly cleaned and maintained. Sipping morning coffee on the top deck, floating on the water in a yacht , is something everyone needs to experience. You will not find a better host on Airbnb or VRBO, hands down. I took my wife, as a surprise, for our 10 year anniversary. Mike had flowers and chilled champagne for us as we walked in for the tour. My wife and I have been and stayed all over, this is the best host you will ever get. 10/10 on everything, I cannot wait to do it again

We stayed over the Memorial Day weekend on Sean's charming mini yacht docked on the Middle River off of Chesapeake Bay. The boat was well maintained and felt like a cozy home. The marina was picturesque, a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxation. The boat was well equipped with all the amenities for a comfortable stay, including comfortable sleeping quarters. The location had easy access to nearby attractions and restaurants
