The Florida Keys, a string of tropical islands stretching between beautiful Miami and Cuba, offer the epitome of an American beach vacation. Colorful fish, underwater coral, and a relaxed vibe are all reasons to pick this as your next vacation destination. Accordingly, the area offers several dive resorts and beach resorts. However, if you’d like to stay right on the water, scroll down for the best Airbnb houseboats in Florida Keys, USA.
Travel advisory
The best time to visit The Keys is between November and February, however, this period intersects with the Atlantic Hurricane Season. According to the National Hurricane Center hurricane season extends from June till the end of November, and you can expect hurricanes even after these dates. Make sure to keep yourself updated on the weather before heading to Florida.

1. Charming tiny houseboat; Key West (from USD 228)
Embark on an enchanting escape in this secluded tiny houseboat, nestled peacefully away from the shore, providing you with complete seclusion from other boats. Prepare to be captivated by the breathtaking 360-degree views that surround you, providing the perfect backdrop for stargazing adventures from the deck.

Its convenient shuttle service ensures easy transportation, whisking you to and from the boat in just 10 to 15 minutes.
Inside, the space is thoughtfully equipped with a solar system that provides power to essential amenities like lights, hot showers, and fans. While only an outdoor shower is available, there is a privacy curtain, and the houseboat is secluded anyway!
What guests are saying about their stay:
“The space includes a bathroom with a sink, toilet paper, and a shower. There are two USB ports for phone charging, but only one works. A cooler is provided for your food, but remember to bring your own ice. The swimming area is shallow, and touching the ocean floor can be uncomfortable.” - by Alex (North Smithfield, Rhode Island)

9. Solar-powered houseboat; Islamorada (from USD 434)
I think you’ll have an amazing time staying on this solar-powered houseboat, situated just half a mile (0.80 kilometers) from the shore in charming Islamorada. Getting to and fro from land is easy with its 12-foot (3.66 meter) skiff that has a 6 hp motor, plus you’ve got a kayak and paddleboard for some extra fun on the water. Seems to me like a great spot for an adventurous couple!
Inside, the kitchen is equipped with a stove and sink with running water. After a day of adventure, you can kick back on the comfy queen bed with amazing water views. The bathroom includes a compost toilet and shower, so you’re all set. Don’t forget to check out the roof deck—it’s the perfect spot for some drinks and enjoying the sunset!
What guests are saying about their stay:
“One of our days, we didn’t leave the houseboat at all, and spent the day relaxing, taking periodic dips in the water, and fishing. We caught lots of snapper & a couple barracuda. We had a nurse shark swimming around the boat for about an hour, which was absolutely magical. Loved watching the cassiopeia jelly fish float by when they were relocating - don’t worry! they don’t give much of a sting (more of a temporary itch) and we did not have any physical encounters with them. They are beautiful to watch. We enjoyed the 4th of July fireworks from the rooftop - brilliant! We even saw bioluminescent creatures floating through the water 2 out of our 4 nights.” - by Andrea (Lafayette, Colorado)

10. Blackbeard’s Hideout; Islamorada (from USD 169)
Blackbeard’s Hideout offers a peaceful retreat right on the water. The houseboat offers a cozy outdoor seating area where you can sit with your family soaking up the beautiful waterfront views. You’ll be pleased to know that there are restaurants and shops just a short walk away, so you can easily grab whatever you need. I’m sure adventurous guests who love fishing or diving will be glad to know that boat rentals are available right on-site.
When the craving for home-cooked food hits, head to the kitchen and easily make your favorite dishes without a hitch. And with WiFi, staying connected with friends back home is effortless. Oh, and don’t worry about leaving your furry friends behind as they’re more than welcome to join you!
What guests are saying about their stay:
“Peaceful mornings on the patio on a wide inlet filled with manatees and jumping fish. The properties face West, so the patio is shaded from morning sun. The boats are not very soundproofed, so we could hear people talking on the patio next-door, but everyone quieted by 10 PM.” - by Cindy (Astoria, Oregon)
11. Spacious houseboat with stunning views; Key West (from USD 260)
Consider staying in this spacious houseboat with your family for your next vacation. The living room boasts two comfy full-sized couches and the stocked kitchen features a breakfast bar and sideboard where you can enjoy meals together.
If you’re in the mood for adventure, two 12-foot (3.66 meter) sea kayaks and paddleboards are available for exploring the waters, while fishing gear is ready for a relaxing day on the water.
Upstairs, you’ll be treated to unobstructed views of the Boca Chica Channel and nearby islands, and it seems to me like an amazing spot to enjoy your morning coffee. The stern deck is right off the bedroom and the huge 400-square-foot (37.16-square-meter) Sun Deck offers plenty of space for lounging in the sun. For entertainment, you’ll find two 43-in TVs, and the fast Wi-Fi coupled with Alexa means you can vibe to your favorite music from Amazon Prime.
What guests are saying about their stay:
“The kayaks were a wonderful amenity, being able to open the bedroom door and step on to a dock to cast off was amazing. The waters near the boat were crystal clear and sparkling.” - by Maxwell (Okoboji, Iowa)

For a change of scenery, head up to the rooftop sky deck, from where you can watch sunsets.
What guests are saying about their stay:
“With 4 huge decks plus an entire rooftop deck, Brads houseboat was literally head and shoulders above anything else on Stock Island. The 360 degree views from the Tranquilo were stunning at any time of day. It was so relaxing and beautiful at the slip that is very difficult to actually leave and hang out at Duval Street; which is only a 10 minute drive away. Last but not least is the Yacht Club itself. It literally is a self-contained resort area that has everything you need to fulfill your Key West experience. From the stunning water views afforded by its Tiki Huts to the impressive beach, pool, and bar area; the Yacht Club property itself is outstanding.” - by Tracy (Athens, Georgia)

14. Dacha Houseboat; Key West (from USD 456)
At this rental, you’ll wake up to the gentle shimmer of water through the big, bright windows—such a peaceful way to start your day. The wooden walls and ceilings in the bedrooms make it feel super cozy, like a cabin floating on the water. The deck is going to be your favorite spot—it’s small but has a hammock that’s perfect for lounging in the breeze while soaking in the views. The kitchen has a mini-fridge and microwave. Evenings are for unwinding, and you’ve got books and board games to entertain yourself.
And when it’s time for some outdoor fun, the kayaks and snorkeling gear make it easy to dive into adventure. Guests get special discounts on Pirate Adventure Charters, and I would definitely recommend checking out their sandbar trips, dolphin-watching tours, and light tackle fishing excursions.
What guests are saying about their stay:
“We swam, fished, snorkeled, kayaked through mangrove trails, sunbathed on the rooftop deck, napped in the hammock, watched the sunrise and sunset, had a picnic, and played board games, all thanks to items Sergey provided with the accommodation. Sergey goes above and beyond to be a friendly, helpful, and gracious host. The boat was clean, organized, and labeled in a way that made everything easy to relax and enjoy. The location was fantastic for activities around the boat, and Highway 1 was easily accessible for other adventures.” - by Ron (Carrollton, Ohio)
15. Fully furnished retreat with access to heated pool; Key West
Not to dismiss the great amenities of this houseboat but you’ll probably book it because of its name—Coconuts. She had me at coconut, you might say. This rental on Stock Island is nestled in the safe port Key West Harbor Marina and Club.
It has three air-conditioned bedrooms that can sleep four adults and two children. The master suite on the upper deck has a king-size bed and a private bath. Unlike most sailing vessels, this houseboat’s shower stalls are spacious and tall, similar to that of a regular home. There’s also satellite TV, washer and dryer, Wi-Fi, and free parking.
Coconuts’ kitchen is fitted with a microwave, dishwasher, regular-sized refrigerator, dishes, and utensils. She’s as tall as her name so unobstructed ocean views are enjoyed in the top deck where beach chairs and tables are set up for outdoor leisure. So, catch you at the Coconuts?

A kayak or dingy is required to get to the humble houseboat, which is provided by the host. Additionally, there is a parking spot at the beach where the dingy rests. Such modern amenities such as a TV and DVD player, as well as plugs to charge devices, make this a happy medium for those looking to get away, but still be connected.
