I would give 10 stars if possible! We are a family of 6 and had an amazing stay for a week. Starting with things I read other negative reviews about and worried about: Septic- yes. Sometimes you get the faint smell of a septic system. This is absolutely no different than camping, RV'ing or boating. It is not the smell of waste, its just the normal smell of the tank. This is expected in this structure of home. Construction- the nearby construction noise was there but never bothered us and we have a very light sleeper. Small living space- with 4 kids from age 17 to 2, we had absolutely no problems spacing out! Nobody even had to share beds! The loft was amazing. Couch a full pull out. Old or aged unit- our house was clearly very well kept, updated with beautiful paint, kitchen appliances, beds and the like. Nothing was aged. Moving on to our experience- the customer service top notch! We used almost all the amenities... bikes, kayaks, Swim Club pool, private beach access, restaurant recommendations, you name it. The house is setup in a way that you can cook full meals, sit your kiddos at a table inside or outside, enjoy the beach at two different locations and its all very quiet but welcoming. We will absolutely come back.

Great place to stay. Brand new cabin. Still smelled like new inside. So close to the water. They had kayaks to take out. Places to sit around the fire pit. Bench to watch the ocean and see the sunset. Can even snorkel around the rocks on the jetty. We even rented a pontoon boat from the place go out and explore. Nice place.

We had a wonderful time in our cabin! It was very clean and had everything we needed. This is more of a "simple" stay so don't expect a ton of frills but the ac was cold, the little sitting area by the canal was nice to sit at, and the guest passes to the Cabana Club were so nice to use for a pool and beach day. It is a great cental location as well. The management was so responsive and kind as well. Amazing budget-friendly stay in the heart of the keys!

We had an amazing experience at the Aqua Lodge! The space was super clean and smelled great as soon as we walked in, it’s clear they take cleanliness and attention to detail seriously. The lodge was fully stocked with everything we needed: kitchen essentials, towels, and even organic products for the shower and sink (which they kindly ask guests to use). Everything was thoughtful and well prepared. Overall, we had such a fun and relaxing stay, we’ll definitely be back!

The idea of sleeping on a houseboat when your goal is to go fishing makes for a perfect combination. My son woke up and fished from the back of his room and or in the front of the kitchen. It was quiet and met all our needs 2 big beds and a loft for storage or sleeping. The only issue I had was the TV I needed to have an Amazon account for me to watch on TV. Overall it was a great 5 days.

When we checked in there were cleaners still working on the cabin and informed us that we were in the wrong cabin. This wasn’t true. The last day of our stay the construction crew showed up to work on our unit before 8 am. We were told by the front desk that was beyond their control. They woke up our guests! How is that beyond their control????

Marathon Disappointment

Aqua Lodge has two locations that were not mentioned in the listing. We were at the 47th Street location and it was poor at best. The boat was fine for two people for a few days. The property is not very well maintained. There’s a 45+ foot yacht permanently moored 10 feet in front of the boat completely blocking any view and there’s dogs and cats roaming the property leaving feces everywhere! The yacht haven location is much better while the 47th Street location is very poor at best!

The toilet smelled horrible whenever flushed and then whole boat would smell like septic for hours. I complained and the office manager told me that’s normal because it’s like an RV septic tank. I’ve been in several RVs and they don’t smell… I would not stay again!

It ends up costing more !

Be prepared to pay more than quoted once you get there. The property blamed the under charge on hotels.com who I booked through. They claim that the service fees or cleaning fees need to have tax added on and they extract another 20 bucks out of you before you can check in. Just be prepared. I know it’s not a lot but it really started the experience off on a nasty note. And if they pull this stunt with every guest they are scamming a lot of money!!! The stay was good though

The houseboat itself was not too bad. The toilet seats didn't fit the toilet so they kept sliding around and the smell was terrible. Also, outside other people who lived in the area would let their little dogs poop on the patch of grass right in front of us and then the groundskeepers came and shoveled the dog a hint of the water. Also right in front of our faces also, the walls were so thin. I could almost distinguish conversations going on in the next houseboat to the point where it kept me awake late at night
