Baycation | Laid-Back Luxury & Island Adventures in the Florida Keys
Imagine waking from an amazing night’s sleep to the gentle rhythm of the water. Morning sunlight welcomes another beautiful day as you pour your coffee and head up to your private rooftop deck.
Below, the marina is coming to life. Fishing charters are preparing for a day offshore, snorkel boats are getting ready for adventure, and the aroma of freshly brewed Cuban coffee awaits at the nearby café.
There’s no rush here. Just warm tropical breezes, beautiful surroundings, and an entire day of Florida Keys adventures waiting to unfold.
Welcome aboard Baycation, a beautifully renovated, three-level, 44-foot houseboat nestled in a protected marina along Tavernier Creek in the Upper Florida Keys.
Thoughtfully appointed with upscale comforts, inviting outdoor spaces, and the charm of waterfront living, Baycation offers a vacation experience that’s anything but ordinary.
Adventure Right Outside Your Door
One of the best things about Baycation is that the fun begins right at the marina!
Enjoy convenient access to jet ski rentals, kayak rentals, snorkeling excursions, and fishing charter boats. Explore colorful coral reefs, discover the beautiful waterways, or spend the day soaking up the Florida sunshine.
Prefer a slower pace? Relax on the rooftop deck, enjoy complimentary paddleboards, watch boats come and go, or keep an eye out for fascinating marine life around the docks.
As evening arrives, underwater dock lights offer another opportunity to watch the fish swimming below.
Walk to Dining & Island Fun
Leave the car parked and enjoy the convenience of six restaurants within walking distance!
Start your morning at the Latin Cuban Café, open 7:30 AM–3 PM, for breakfast, lunch, and a taste of local flavor.
When evening arrives, stroll to Old Tavernier Restaurant, open 4 PM–10:30 PM, or explore the nearby dining and entertainment.
Fresh seafood, tropical cocktails, casual island atmosphere, and memorable evenings are all part of the experience.
Your Own Floating Retreat
Inside Baycation, relaxed coastal charm meets thoughtful comforts.
