A crew house is a fully furnished house that is ideal for networking. Depending on the house, there are 2-4 bedrooms with 1-2 bathrooms. We offer shared rooms – 2 twins per room sleeping only 2 people. Our crew houses are located in the general area of US1 and 17th Street-near Maritime Schools, Crew Agencies and Marinas. They have shared living areas and fully equipped kitchens. Every crew house has free Wi-Fi, Linens provided, and Cable or Satellite TV. Laundry facilities located at all of our crew houses.

Island Breeze Experience: The Island Breeze complex sleeps 24 people (6 per house) so large gatherings, and noise: music, get-togethers and BBQ cookouts happen all the time. If you are studying and need a quiet space, we DO NOT recommend shared housing. Please consider booking a private apartment.

A crew house is typically set up for individual crew members coming in for school or work where each bed is rented by the week. A house for crew is a private house (2, 3 or 4 bedrooms) for rent as a whole for one crew coming in all on one boat.

Yes, the crew houses are co-ed/mixed gender and so are the bedrooms and bathrooms.

A shared room is a room that is shared by multiple crew members, usually with bunk beds or multiple single beds in the room. It is a more cost-effective option for crew members looking to save money on accommodations.

A private room is a room that is occupied by just one crew member, providing more privacy and space compared to a shared room. It is typically more expensive than a shared room but offers more comfort and privacy for crew members who prefer their own space.

Efficiency apartments, also called bachelor apartments, are usually small and feature a combined living and sleeping space. Most efficiency apartments are one room with an attached bathroom. Efficiencies have a kitchenette area within the living area. A wall of appliances and counter space is provided. The appliances are often smaller than usual, such as a half fridge, a one or two burner stove and a small sink with a small counter area and are more for heating food than cooking full meals.

Studio apartments are not always small, but are always one room that combines the living and sleeping spaces. Studios will also have a kitchenette area within the living area. Some studios offer full kitchens. They feature an attached bathroom and kitchen with full size appliances.

We offer shared crew housing and private rooms in a shared crew house. Moving away from crew houses, we offer: efficiencies, studios, 1 bedroom apartments through 4 bedroom houses. Amenities will vary depending on the property.

Yes, the crew houses are cleaned every week. The housekeeping team cleans the common living areas (living room, bathrooms, dining room, kitchen and patio) and replenishes supplies – toilet paper, paper towels, soap and trash bags. The team is focused on keeping the crew house clean not cleaning up after tenants.

We require a one-time, non-refundable cleaning fee which varies depending on the property size. It does not depend on duration of your stay. This ensures you move in to a spotless property and when you move out you don’t need to do any cleaning at all.

Our main focus are the accommodations we offer our tenants. However, we do get Captains and Chief Stews who come into the office asking us for recommendations. It’s a great idea to leave us a copy of your resume, but we strongly feel that in general this should be handled through the great crew agencies in the area (also linked on our site).
