Loved everything about this property. I have a problem with hotels and uncleanliness, but was fabulously surprised by the cleanliness of this property. We stayed in late June so the house boat did get a little hot during the daytime, even with all the windows covered constantly. There were three air conditioning units which helped if they were running non stop. One thing I wish I knew up front: as it is a houseboat, the shower products need to be eco friendly so I wasted all the space/weight in my luggage on items I never used once. The bathroom comes stocked with these eco friendly items so don’t waste precious packing space. Would definitely recommend.

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

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.

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.

We really like the ability to cook simple meals inside and that groceries are nearby. The kayaks are in good condition; however, the bicycles are a bit warn by the salt air. People are friendly around the area. The negative is the wifi (non-existent) for us. I had to buy more data just to complete some tasks. The TV reception was very spotty, so bring some cards to entertain yourself after sunset.

We stayed here for 5 days for a family vacation and absolutely adored the area and aqua lodges. It was so beautiful and peaceful, the manatees swam up nightly and the area had gorgeous views. The lodges are roomy and kitchen area was perfect- nice that they provided kitchen utensils, plates, glasses, coffee mugs you name it. Whatever we needed was provided here. Staff is very friendly and helpful- easily and readily able to assist any questions we had. The cleaning crew even had our aqua lodge ready prior to check in time which was convenient after driving all day to our destination. Tons of nice stores and restaurants in the area too. I would highly recommend staying here and we will be back in the future!

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.

Nice Alternative if You Enjoy the Water

We wanted to do something different and came across the aqua lodges at Yacht Haven. The staff at the marina were very helpful and friendly which made check-in and checkout a breeze. The property was just as the photos detailed. Very clean, new, great location for moving around the town. We rented a boat onsite and they had bikes, kayaks and paddle boards available. The aqua lodges had all the essentials you need. It was nice to relax on the back deck and watch the sunset. Be mindful, the Keys have random roosters and chickens roaming and they can be a little noisy at night but otherwise quiet location. We experienced the same in Key West on this trip as well. Also, staff do a great job with making sure all the essentials you may need are stocked in the bathroom. Keep in mind this is a houseboat and the water heater is small and it is a marine toilet. We will stay again if we travel back to the Keys!

Great floating get-away

Super fun lodging option for our quick trip to the keys. It was well appointed, literally around the corner from the grocery store, and (obviously) right on the water. We took advantage of the bikes on site for a 2 mile ride to the beach, and I went paddleboarding on the water and saw tons of animals (but never the manatee that every other guest seemed to encounter...). It was a delight to have breakfast on the deck and although I don't anticipate another trip to FL, if I did, I would love to stay here again.
