The Boat House was a lovely old family owned motel. Property is clean & fresh. Room was freshly painted & updated. Beds very comfortable. Walkable to a few restaurants with good fun & food. Check out Snooks & The Boardroom & Smith’s Restaurant. Loved Marco Island. We would definitely stay at The Boat House again.

We booked a last-minute one night stay at this motel, and the location was perfect for our needs. The room was clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced. Parking was free, and coffee was available in the room (this is huge for me!). Office hours are limited, which is understandable because this is a family business, so we checked in/out outside of office hours. Although we didn't interact with staff in person (only once by phone), the key and detailed instructions were readily available and we had no issues!

Just a little disappointed

As many other have stated, the property is in mint condition and in a nice, quiet, spot on the water. The bed was indeed super comfy and the room very clean. I am a little confused on an email that I got from the hotel shortly after booking, saying that my stay had been charged in full and there is no refund. They are looking forward to my stay and they are reminding everyone that as stated on the website: DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED ANYWHERE NEAR OR ON THIS PROPERTY. I did not see this note on Hotels.com nor on the hotel website. Since they already charged me and there is refund available I had to find a dog sitter last minute. When we arrived at the hotel several guests had dogs and there was a sign saying dogs are allowed in the ground floor rooms for $10/night?? Not very cool to say the least. Also, no breakfast not even a cereal bar? A little odd when they charge almost $200 for a “motel 6 style” room.

I can’t say enough good things about this place. It has so many amenities that chain hotels neglect to include- real coffee mugs, a comfy seating area, fridge and freezer, space to eat, multiple pillow types, ample closet space, reliable internet…plus there is a charming outdoor mall with cute shops just steps away. We can’t wait to stay here again. Staff was very friendly too!
