The stay was beautiful

The place was great. There’s just a place right next to the property that they gut fish.

It was a great place to stay! There were a few bugs in the aqua Lodge in the kitchen area, but other than that awesome place!

First time staying on a houseboat but will definitely not be the last. We loved sitting on the back porch watching the marine life.

I love Aqua Lodging. Looking forward to going again.

The boat was nice. The second bed is located in a loft, which we could not get into. Not much headroom for the loft bed. Would be good for a kid. The shower is a bit small and could be a challenge for a taller/bigger person. The marina is quiet, but the main road can be a bit loud. Getting to Key West from the marina takes a bit to get turned around. Found it was better to go up a couple of streets and make a couple of rights to get back to the traffic light. The restaurant has good food. All outdoor seating.

Such a unique stay and affordable!

Great little place to stay! Not a far drive to anywhere. We lost power on our boat and they were very quick to come fix it.

I love the area and the restaurant, it’s quite and relaxing

Cute place,

We were excited at the idea of a houseboat.That did not last. When we arrived, the inside was hot even with the AC running. The first night's sleep was rough. It was hot so at 2 am I was online looking for alternate lodging. Also, the neighbors were very loud. You can hear the noise in your neighbors' boats. The main bedroom had cooled off a little by morning so I didn't book other lodging. We left for the day and when we returned in the afternoon, the boat was too hot. It was unbearable. We packed our bags and went to another hotel. Not sure if the AC was broken bc it was running but not enough to keep up with the summer heat. The AC also doesn't reach the 2 bedroom area or the bathroom so one child slept on the sofa and the other just sweated it out. The bedroom areas are tight but the living room space is a good size. The sliding door was very hard to open and close. I don't recommend this place bc nothing like paying for 4 nights, using it for one, and then having to pay for another hotel for another 3 nights. I didn't contact the owner bc their email didn't list an address but had dashes. Also, it was too incredibly hot to wait for any repair service.

Nice,clean, pet friendly, helpful

My wife and I had an absolute blast staying here!!!! The Tarpon and manatees were awesome to watch. Very convenient having the restaurant and GTS Outfitters store on site. Wish the store stayed open a little bit later. The restaurant cooked our catch for us and it was amazing. We are already starting to save up so we can return sooner than later!!!

We were super excited to stay here initially. The place was exactly as described and comfortable enough. We had 4 people staying and there was enough room for us to sleep comfortably. However, on day 1, we saw a bug on one of the beds and just assumed it was a normal bug as we did not see any others. After checking out, we all had bites on us in a line/ zig-zag pattern which was indicative of bed bug bites. It was presumed that the sofa couch was infested in them since the person who slept there got the worst bites and her pajama top had blood spots on it. After contacting the host, they told us that there is no way there are bed bugs and that we got bit by something else. They did not offer any resolution of this issue or offer us a refund.

There were rude men on the dock ordering us around. They had nothing to do with our stay. The bar area was really cool and convenient however we didn't eat or drink there as we were totally ignored. We left and went to another place close by that had much better service. Too bad as we would have bellied up to that bar and ate and drank all day and night for the two days we spent there.

Right next to busy highway. Had everything you need but not much extra. Beds were comfortable. A/C is a bother with part of the place very cold and part very hot. Unique with being on water. Basically, it is a tiny house.

A very unique stay on the houseboat, we really enjoyed it. Definitely has the old school Florida fishing village vibe, and the restaurant was great too. Will come back.

Great accommodations

Just like the pictures! It was so cool staying in a houseboat! We enjoyed the patio area, restaurant was great (happy hour 3-6) with playground ship area. Was able to see jellyfish, tarpoon, and nurse sharks! Big enough for our family of 6 with 3 beds and a fold out couch!

The property is in a fantastic location. The management is very responsive with questions. It has RV plumbing so won't be for everyone, but we had a blast!
