We loved our stay on this property. The units were very clean and the staff were incredibly helpful and kind. The best part was sitting on the back "porch" and watching the manatees. I would absolutely recommend this property.

We loved being able to sit on the deck of the houseboat and enjoy the lights and water. Well equipped kitchen (with the exception of one burner that did not work). Nice linens and towels. Easy access to Overseas Highway.

Great boathouse experience. Right on the water with a great view of the manatees. Close to decent restaurants (Island Fish & Sunset). 4 cup coffee pot. Plenty of towels and kitchen items. Tight cozy quarters. Great for 2

Spent most of a week in one of the houseboats, it was super clean and comfortable. It was a real nice alternative to a hotel room, fun to watch the fish and manatee from the balcony and the view was awesome too, we will return!

Excellent for what it is. It's a boat. As long as you're not expecting a fine resort, you'll love an aqua lodge. Manatees stopped by our last morning to wish us well.

Surprised to drive up and see it was directly behind the grocery store, but once we settled in, we found it to be a very comfortable and relatively quiet experience. The marina and property are very nice and clean. The beds were very comfortable. Enjoyed the greetings from the manatees during our morning coffee. Great location. Enjoyed Sombrero Beach and farmers market. Didn’t mind the roosters.
