Acqua Lodge stay in Marathon, Florida

I stayed on the house boat for the most part of the month of February. The accommodations were as good or better than advertised. Great place to hang out and ride bikes, kayak, swim in the pool or watch the sunset at the Point. Jim kept the grounds immaculate and Robin was there everyday making sure I had everything for a great time. Highly recommend staying there for a wonderful stay in the Keys.

Enough room for our family of 4

We had a nice stay in the new Aqua lodges located on the water at Coconut Cay marina and rv resort. The houseboat was roomier than we expected and it was very clean! The property itself is also very clean and they have lots of activities there such as paddlboards, kayaks, and they have brand new boats to rent. Watching the sunset from the point overlooking the gulf was our favorite part!

Perfectly cute!

Excellent place. Would go back in a second. Only reason we gave an overall less than perfect was the lack of some basics that would be nice: nut cracker for crab claws, salt & pepper, hand soap. It would also be nice if they sold singles of laundry detergent in the office. All small stuff.

Houseboat was fun, clean and well equipped. Great Pool and grills available for use. One of the nicest features was the sandy point with chairs and lounges where everyone would go to see the great Key West sunset.

House boat dreaming

Great fun stay here. Sunsets were phenomenal ! Shower was small and short for my 6’ plus tall husband and sons, so this was a bit of a challenge. Wonderful eating out on the back deck. Some noise from the airport next door but my plane loving son enjoyed every take off and landing. Beds were super comfortable.

Coconut Cay Houseboat

Fabulous. We looked out on a cove with homes and lots of mangroves. The houseboat itself was delightful, smartly designed, with a roomy bathroom. The Coconut Cay facility was wonderful -- pool, beach, and a staff who went above and beyond to make our week-long stay all we hoped for.

we sat on the patio and watched different fish and manatees go by. Very relaxing We were not told that there was a beautiful beach on the property, we found it a few days after being there. We also were not aware that there was a laundry mat there until we were ready to leave

Aqua Ledge

Very nice property. Pros: The house boats are practically brand new and have all of your essential needs. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Pool was very nice. Wife and I enjoyed this property very much. Cons: Very close to the airport. Airport traffic was busy the week we visited but can easily tune that out. No-see-ums were very aggressive. I recommend keeping the sliders completely shut, they get thru the slider door screens. One suggestion would be replacing the slider screens with a much finer screen to keep them out. And wearing bug spray. Over all great place! We will definitely stay again!
