Not as advertised and Horrible Horrific Smell
The boat has large ac throughout that are not in any pictures and do not keep it cool. It smells like sewer or mold. We could not stay and have not been offered a refund even though I have been working on a claim with vrbo. The owner even said he set off “bomb” to help with the smell and it was fine. It was not fine. Don’t spend your hard earned money on this to just have to rebook with a local hotel like we did. Very disappointing and sad. People should not be treated this way when they rent something in good faith.

Worst booking ever!
Below are just a few problems encountered on our stay: Cockroaches seen in the linen closet, galley and salon. Electrical issues our entire stay - air conditioner and oven could not be used at the same time. Several times the power went out on the entire boat. Bad sewer smell in the bathroom that only got worse every day. Only one of two showers worked, and the working one had a very slow drain. No top sheets on beds, only bottom sheets. No green egg BBQ as advertised. Stereo did not work. Light in main salon out as well as master bedroom. Items in the freezer looked like they had been there forever. The AC went out our last night and the host sent Scott from a neighboring boat to look at it. Scott was very intoxicated when he arrived. He said he had to shut the AC water pump off to clean the screen and did so. While he was doing this another neighbor arrived who was very intoxicated and obnoxious. He told Scott to leave it and come to his boat to drink and party. He was smoking a cigar inside the boat and we asked him to leave. Scott was unsuccessful in getting the AC to work so they left without turning the water pump back on. At this point we decided to get a room at a hotel. We found a room at 10:30pm costing $450. Upon leaving, the cigar guy threatened to push us off the dock into the ocean. I texted the host and asked for compensation due to all the issues and he would not reply. He then blew up my phone after 10:30pm with text's blaming us for the AC issues.

Girlfriends weekend in Key West
We were looking for a unique place to stay while in Key West that provided an experience for the weekend. The Vita Felice was just right. The owners were available to greet us and show us around the boat and were available via text for any questions we might have had throughout our stay. The Perry Hotel & Marina has restaurants and provides a shuttle service to Front street in Key West, the marina has additional bathrooms/showers too. This VRBO offers a quiet location away from the noise of Key West. There were 5 of us on our trip and it was a enough space for us to relax and enjoy.
