Viking Yacht Getaway in the Keys !!NEW LOCATION!! !!Tons of Amenities!!

I think it's an issue of expectations. I'm not leaving a bad review, but I won't be leaving a great review either. It looks like the pictures, the Marina is nice, and if you go into it knowing it's essentially an old RV on the water you'll have a great time. I booked it reading luxury yacht, and that affected how my entire experience went from the moment I arrived. The host stayed in communication and made it right when things did go wrong. I wish I had a better time, I really do. I'm not trying to bash anyone, this is just my most honest review of my experience in Key West on this boat. I think managing expectations will go a long way in helping anyone enjoy this boat who chooses to book it.

Very stressful & unpleasant situation Our group consisted of 4 seniors. The host was aware of the broken toilet prior to our arrival. We were not notified of this. You can imagine our dismay when we went to use the toilet and it was all taped up. The only available toilet was in the master bedroom. We contacted the host immediately and his response was to use the facilities at the Marina. This was unacceptable - we paid for two toilets. We stayed one night as it was late and left the next morning ( 2 days left on our booked stay). He refused to provide us a refund stating over and over again that we could use the marina facilities. To use the Marina facilities meant leaving the boat, walking up the ramp, and then walking another approximately 100 yards. We have used Vrbo several times and have never encountered a situation or host like this.

Beautiful to Remember Loved everything about the stay,

2nd Timers The location is much better than the previous one. The boat is as awesome as ever but the Marina is outstanding! Restaurant, bar, entertainment, location! It's all here!

Our stay aboard was disappointing. The venue was gorgeous, clean, easy access, and good parking. However, first impressions of the boat were not good. On the deck at the entry door and right next to the lock box was a fish well with green mildew streaked down the exterior. Inside had not been cleaned. Lines were loose on the deck, not stowed. Garbage was not emptied, cleaning products and extension cords were not put away. This vessel is a health hazard. Inside, the mildew smell was overwhelming. The owners are aware of it because the blowers were on and a bottle of fabric spray to cover the smell was available. It needs to be professionally cleaned and AC filters changed to remove the mildew. We had to purchased allergy meds to deal with the reaction to the mildew. There was not enough flatware available to accommodate the advertised capacity. We purchased plastic ware. Plates and linens were adequate. Topside was not cleaned. There were empty beer bottles in the drink holders. The eisenglass was torn and left hanging. The non functioning icebox had beer bottles inside and repairs had not been completed to the exterior. The sink up there was filthy. The boat accommodation could use a binder with helpful hints. Fortunately, someone came by to explain the electrical system. A breaker did trip and we knew how to fix it. Fortunately, we are boaters, so we were able to find other things like the topside lighting.

Great stay The boat was in a peaceful location away from fantasy fest . The marina was great with many amenities . The bed was comfy and the weather was perfect . Great visit
