Place was clean, updated. It was fun to stay on a houseboat and check out the fish that floated around us. We even saw a manatee once! Good air conditioning, fridge and microwave. Plenty of towels. Kitchen stocked with plates, utensils, etc. Location is actually just before Key West, about 15min from the old town section, which was not a problem for us since we had a car. An uber however would have cost us $30-$35 into the old town each way.

I wish there was a hairdryer. Also the shower at times would only come out as a trickle. One day I couldnt wash my shoulder length hair because the entire time it was a trickle (no one else was using water in our place either). Also wish they had a towel bar, hook, or anywhere to hang your bath towels, as well as anywhere (other than the flimsy wire shelving) in the bathroom to put our toiletries, etc. For the price we paid, you would expect a good shower, hairdryer and places to put bathroom stuff (easy and mostly cheap fixes for management). The middle room with the bed does not get any AC if you have the both door closed.

The experience of staying on a floating room was excellent and sitting on the deck watching the activities going on was fabulous. We stayed for a week and loved it. Watching the variety of animals in the bay and surrounding was great

The boat when we arrived was filthy and clearly had only had a cursory "clean". The linen was clean but everything else was filthy. This is easy resolved by the owners and should not put you off going.

Location to the Key West island. Peaceful. We rented a golf cart and used it to tour the island

Nothing comes to mind. Wish we could have gone fishing but the seas were too rough, no fault of Aqua Lodges

It’s nice to be on the water and it was clean and affordable. Got to see manatees! I was able to launch my inflatable kayak from the front deck which was great.

If you can’t take noise, this isn’t for you. It was fine for us but the road and boat noise are significant. You walk past the place where all the fisherman clean their fish going to your lodge and it’s smelly if you have anyone sensitive to those things. Again, not a problem for us, but good to know. This asked about staff, but there was no contact with any staff so I couldn’t really rate that properly.

Loved the location in the Marina. So peaceful and majestic at night especially. Totally unplugged from life at night and enjoyed the sounds of nature, enjoying coffee on the deck. It was a great experience for the grandkids especially watching the various sea life (nurse sharks, manatees, pelicans, seagulls, tarpons etc. at the fish cleaning area and pier). Rented a pontoon from the Marina, one of the big highlights of our trip as well. Restaurant at Marina had amazing food, especially the catch of the day, red snapper! Amazing.

I didn't care for the toilet. A little too tall even for the average person so you can tell most lean to wipe, which caused the toilet to be wobbly. It's like a camper on a pontoon! 🤩 A smidge pricey / night but i suppose for the Keys, it was normal.

Lovely cabins, very clean and comfortable. I was worried about mosquitos and other bugs this close to the water but it wasn't an issue at all. Plenty of towels, good bathroom and a fun loft style bed.

This place requires all guests to be above 25 and for at least one guest to have a boaters safety card. This isn't communicated prior to booking. We were lucky being just above 25 and that one of us happened to have a European boat license. Otherwise you have to pay $45 to get Florida's boaters safety card. Their waiver also says they'll cancel your booking without refund if you're under 25.

Everything was fantastic. Really enjoyed our stay. Staff and location was perfect. I would definitely stay there again and I have already told many friends about it and to stay there if they ever go to Key West. It was an awesome and different way to stay.

The only thing that I could say, it's not even a complaint, I would suggest to put the keys to the houseboats on a floating bobber. If that thing falls on the water, they are screwed. Lol

It was a unique experience staying on the boat. The location and the amenities were all great! Wonderful to people watch or have the morning to yourself. We didn't dine in the restaurant but heard very good things about it. I had visited with my husband and a 2 year old and it was great. There is even a children's playground in the area. The location was very convenient as well. Even had kitchen cookwares and appliances

The bath towels were very small. Had a coffee maker and filters but no coffee supplies. So, if morning coffee in the hotel room is something you are used to, this is something to keep in mind.

Location was a bit far from the main attractions and beaches of Key West to walk but there is a bicycle hire shop 2 minutes down the road and a perfect way to explore the coast and attractions. The mariner itself is a little gem of a place and the lodges are ideal for a short stay if you want to try something different than a hotel. Lodge has all the basic amenities you need including a tv. We had an enjoyable stay.

Patio of Lodge door 1 needs attention as it’s hard to open and close. It is noisy around the area as the marina is just off Highway 1 with constant traffic in and out of Key West so not the tranquil relax I thought we’d get.

This is a super location on a small marina just a short hop from downtown Key West. We loved the quirky nature of the Aqualodge, being on the water, and part of the working marina. The lodge itself has what one needs for a few days stay and kayak and bike rental is within a 2 minute walk as is a good bar/restaurant. What made it a 10+ for us was the wildlife--the afternoon we arrived a group of seven manatees drifted through the marina and past our lodge. This alone made it our new favorite place to stay. They returned every late afternoon to glide around for a few minutes.Towels were plentiful, the staff were available and helpful. Parking is free but can be hard to find when there are a lot of people in for charters and trips. We will return!

Our lodge (#1) was very clean, and everything worked fine. I would say the negatives are small and I mention them only so you can be prepared when you stay: it could use better kitchen equipment. We were a couple so the limited bowls, glasses, forks and spoons were okay, but only one sharp (steak) knife and a piece of pine lumber for a poor cutting board(at least I think that is what it was for?) wasn't the best as we were self-catering. A roll of paper towels was provided but no cloth dishtowel to dry dishes. A vegetable peeler and hot pads for grabbing pans would also be helpful.
