Our stay was very nice-Great room, pool and view-Lots of nature activiity right outside the door-Dolphin, Manatees & birds. Owners couldn't have been more accommodating and helpful. Loved the quaint feeling - not the busy crowded feeling of the big hotels but with all the modern conviences.The room was very clean and had a mini refrig, microwave and coffee maker.... More

I stayed with my wife, Her Parent-Sister and Our 2 Dogs. The Boat House experience was special. I wish we could've stayed longer. I want to come back very soon, The people who run the place are very nice. The accommodations are just what we wanted. Especially the "Pets" part. We also loved our own private patio and the location... More

We had researched the Boat House, and booked due to positive reviews. Upon arriving after hours our key to the room was where they mentioned it would be, checked in the room and hit the bed with relief, excited to awake the following morning to see everything. We happen to enjoy early mornings and coffee, so off we were each... More

The Boat House Motel is a small family owned establishment. We admit to having a "laid back" attitude with our check-in procedures and often times it turns out that we may never encounter some guests because of timing. Due to the fact that we don't occupy our rooms we do rely on our guests to keep us informed of any... More

We booked this hotel merely on the details on the web as our last three days in Florida. It was perfect in terms of location and value with an amazing position on Marco Island. (We saw dolphins, a manitee, a bald eagle and pelicans galore!!) Desiree the owner could not have been more helpful or attentive even popping in on... More

Found this gem tucked away on the edge of Marco. What a find! Wonderful inn keeper who couldn't have been more accommodating. Sent us to the most remarkable restaurants & bent over backwards to make our 3rd honeymoon (in 4 months) fabulous. Our king room had an incredible view of the Gulf & the sunsets were truly amazing. Watched dolphin... More

Trying to find a place that is rated well and reasonably priced on Marco Island was a challenge. We settled on this little motel. Although room 18 was large and appeared clean, it was very dated. It felt like we were in a time warp, very very old Florida style. The mattress was so lumpy I was lucky to have... More

We enjoyed our quick stay at the Boat House Motel. We got in late, and found the Boat House from our GPS. The owner was extra friendly and helpful. The room was clean, beautiful, more than we expected. The room was nicely decorated, there were plenty of towels, the bed was extra comfortable, and property was beautiful.

We enjoyed having Eli ( Your dog) for the day. He is one special boy. People loved to look at him during his walks. Eli did stop a few cars. Thank you again for staying with us. Hope to see you back soon. Thank you Desiree Buhelos More
