Loved being on the houseboat for a few days! Houseboat itself was great, sitting on the deck watching the sunset over the water the best. Highly recommend.
Sharon, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We stayed on the Manatee and it was perfect for our group. Plenty of space to sprawl out, full sized shower was a plus! Top of the boat was awesome for unwinding after a full day of activities and watching the sun set. The pool area was great!

A nice change from the regular hotel rooms. Houseboat was big and clean. Great sunsets from the top deck. Wish we had more time there. Will stay again!

Our houseboat was even better than we expected. It was such a unique lodging experience for our weekend in the Keys. My teens said it was one of the highlights of the trip. I highly recommend staying here and would definitely come back.

It was just as described and a super fun adventure for the kids. It’s not the ritz of course but the pool and folks in the marina were great. There is no fishing allowed so my little one was a bit bummed about that fyi

This is a hidden gem. Mike is so easy to work with and so kind and helpful. Everyone we met was kind and helpful. I highly recommend this to everyone! Our houseboat had everything we needed. It was extremely spacious.

Nice houseboat. Iffy WIFI.
John, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A unique experience. Stayed in the sand dollar. Perfect. But next time will do a bigger houseboat or leave dogs with family.

8/10 Very good

It was a nice and different experience instead of typical hotel or condo. The only downfall was that boat was leaning quite a bit and the water noise hitting the stern was too loud to sleep at night. Overall I really enjoyed the stay as we need to see different things in life and this was one of them. Next time I will stay in Grey Lady. Thanks.
Yvon, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I reluctantly agreed to try out the houseboat experience at my husband's urging and I am so happy I did. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting on the deck right on the water. I have to say that Michael was an amazing manager. He was very responsive to all our requests and spent a lot of time showing us the different houseboats. Our houseboat was a little small for us and now that we have seen the other houseboats, we know which one to pick for our next visit. I also loved the community at the marina. We met several people who lived on their boats and they were all friendly and seemed to have each others backs. We are definitely going back - Thank you for your hospitality Mike.
Sneh, 2-night trip

Beautiful houseboats for a stay on the water!

We initially booked the Sand Dollar. When we boarded, we found the refrigerator was seriously iced up and dripping water. Staff quickly moved us to the houseboat in the next slip, the Tarpon. The Sand Dollar needs some updates - the floor was cracked and it was generally a bit tired. The Tarpon was beautiful, so it worked out for the best. It is a working marina, so boats are brought in and moved around. We had a kayak delivered and had no trouble getting in and out of the harbor. There were beautiful areas around the mangroves and open water for kayaking. My only complaint was that I wish there were umbrellas at the pool because it was difficult to find shade for the lounge chairs. The restaurant/bar area was not open when we were there. It would also have been nice to be able to order drinks and food onsite. We visit family in Islamorada every year and would definitely stay here again. Mike and the office staff were wonderful to deal with!

New houseboat experience for us. We weren’t sure what to expect for our houseboat stay as this was new to us. First, the staff is fantastic, friendly, so helpful with anything needed. Staff gets 5 stars! Second, the houseboat location was fine but the unit itself could use some updating and TLC. The bedding was comfortable to sleep and we enjoyed sitting on the topside deck for sunset. The living room couch needs replacing as it was not very comfortable and could use a small coffee table or an ottoman to put your feet up. The bar and food service is not operating at the moment and would have been nice to grab a cocktail at the marina. The showering was suggest for hot showers and to use hair dryers to be done in the outdoor shower area which is at the end of the dock. Something we aren’t used to but hey, it was like marina camping and a new experience. Maybe not our cup of tea but we still had fun and will remember fondly! Thirdly, they were dog friendly and found almost everywhere we went in the keys was dog friendly. That was something we appreciated! Lastly, Mike the manager was a super nice guy and alway around asking how we were doing and helpful to recommend places. We also saw a shark, and crocodiles from the docks. If you want a unique experience that is not fancy, but very clean, give the Aqua Lodge Houseboats a try! It’s the Keys, why not!

Loved staying here with my boys. The boat house experience was great and comfortable. But the best was the beach bar on the marina where the kids could play games, swim in the pool and I could relax with a drink. Will stay here again!
Jessie-claire, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Really nice visit.

All three adults enjoyed our stay. The beds were very comfortable. The back deck was delightful. The people that work there are very friendly and helpful. You are close to other boats but no one was loud. I’m a light sleeper so I wore ear plugs. There is a place to eat, soft live music and drinks next door. I would stay here again.
