Feel refreshed when you stay in this rare gem near the beach. Wake up and have your cup of coffee with the dolphins then let the gental waves rock you to sleep at night.

The space The property consists of a boat itself anchored in matanzas pass walking or kayak distance to the fort myers beach and time square. space is about 350 sqft of living space. a small couch in living area that sleeps one and a full size bed in a seperate bedroom. This will require youre own skills and devices to reach the houseboat. An example is to call Big Tiki Tours to schedule shuttle Service to and from. This vacation is more like primitive camping. There is a generator and gas can on board but fueling and water would be up to you. None are generally provided . The peace quietness and nature is outstanding. watch dolphins and manatees all day. catch your limit of fish every morning. .Okay that sounds great right? Now I'll reiterate on the workings of living on an anchor. This way there are little surprises. There's a generator with a can gas to run, the entire boat. It's up to you to refill if needed. There is a battery set up to run it without the generator however, the batteries do run down and solar will charge yhem. Therefore, you can go back-and-forth from battery to generator and vice versa to save on fuel. Another big point is you will also need to bring water. Toilets work fine You just use a bucket to fill with sea water and an electric flush. A blqck button is on the front of skink and put paper into trash. There is shower house on land that has a code at the on Fort Myers Beach dinghy dock. Finally it is also up to you to find shuttle or other ways to get to and from the boat. BigTikiTours can be scheduled for service. you will need onset that up in advance. The boat is cluttered with nic- nacs and fishing equipment. Everything with a price tag is available for sale. Even things with out a tag can be purchased. Guest access First option. Free Guests must be able to kayak out to boat. Agility is needed to enter and exit houseboat from a floating position in a kayak. Please contact us before arriving. Second option. $30 to $40 avg. There is a fair captain you can arrange pick ups and drop offs. Capt John Big TIKI Tours. Other things to note Remember that you are on a boat and everything works as a boat would. Maybe it is easier to think of it as a roomy RV that floats more than thinking of it as a house, condo, or hotel. Keeping an open mind to a new adventure and you will not be disapointed. Getting on and off a boat is also for the spry. At time there are tricky gaps and levels to board. Blanace to walking the dock and entering a kayak doesnt hurt either. After your are settled, look down and see your own personal aquariam , housing everything from dolphins to star fish. Take a complimentary kayak to get up close or use a rod to catch lunch.
