    It's a little noisy from the outside, but not really a big deal.

    The view is wonderful, lots of room for 3 people, it is very clean and comfortable, very convenient to grocery stores and restaurants and shopping.

    We liked everything. Was in a great location, only an hours drive to Key West, close to shops/groceries. It was also very quiet. Also a great pizza place next door.

    Pool was a distance away but it was beautiful and theres a private beach and bar there too!! We will be back when the onsite pool gets put in.

    What an amazing fun stay!! We had a manatee outside almost every day!! The marina was FILLED with fish jumping and swimming. Jo in the office and Kevin were both so helpful and made our trip!! Our little house had everything we needed for the week!! Definitely recommend!! Publix is literally out back. (And a liquor store)

    The only issue was that we needed beach towels for the beach club and we had to go on quite a trip to find the staff that had them (took a couple of days). Everything else was good.

    This worked well for a girls' trip where we wanted more privacy than a single hotel room. The bedrooms are snug, but the living room had soace for us to sit when we weren't out on the back porch (where we spent most of pur time). The AC was wonderful. The loft area is not usable by adults (not tall enough if you want to stand up). The boat was very clean and a lovely marina view. We saw manatees a couple of mornings. Also,there is a Publix grocery store across the road, which was really convenient. One of the best features is that you can use a nice little beach club up the road-- really nice beach with chairs and a bit of shade as well as a pool and hot tub. Marathon was a great place to stay in the Keys-- close enough to go down to Key West a couple of days and up to Key Largo on another.

    Wonderful stay in a very clean and comfortable houseboat
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Deluxe Double Room with Balcony and Sea View
    • Stayed 2 nights

    The first night we stayed there was very windy. With other words, there was quite a bit of wave action. Which, of course, makes a houseboat move. At night, the walkway down to the houseboat was rolling back and forth, making a lot of noise. Plus the tv came on all by itself in the middle of the night. Another not so great item, not the facilities fault at all. Since you are very close to your neighbor when sitting on the veranda in the back, and they are smokers, and smoking bothers you, this will make it uncomfortable for you. I had to come inside the boat. But like I said, not anybody's fault, only my total dislike to cigarette smoke.

    We enjoyed the location. Convenient to the destinations, like Key West, we wanted to see. Having the Publix within walking distance was a major plus. Plus, ample choice of restaurants nearby. The boat was very spacious and clean. The appliances in top shape. We were very lucky to have quiet neighbors on both sides, considering how close you are to them. We really enjoyed the view from the veranda in the back of the boat, so relaxing and peaceful. On the last morning, we did observe a family of manatees. It made my day to see them.

    The boats are very close so The only thing I would change is to put some type of blinds between them for a little privacy. Our neighbors were great while we were there so we had no issues. Most definitely will stay here again!!

    The Aqua lodge was extremely clean and updated. They made use of every inch of space. The canal it’s on is very peaceful and quiet and a manatee would swim right next to our boat.

    I'm short & the beds are fairly high & if you have more than just the 2 of you, just know that you cross into the 2nd bedroom to access the bathroom.

    We loved our time @ Yacht Haven. Lovely quiet setting & we did have some manatees visit while we were enjoying time on our deck. The location was great for us since we were down with lots of other people all staying in various places around Marathon. Sombrero Beach is just under 2 miles down the road. You can use the bikes available to guests to visit the beach & not have to struggle to park a car. They also have kayaks available to use. The aqua lodge kitchen was very well equipped w/all the basics. The staff were all so gracious & friendly. We would absolutely stay in an aqua lodge again. We may just have to check out the other locations in the Keys.

    Absolutely nothing

    What a find! We stayed at Yacht Haven for three nights, my only complaint is, it wasn’t long enough! We hired two houseboats next door to each other as my husband and I were on holiday with his daughter, her husband and three grandchildren. We were wanting something relaxing after a hectic week in Disney…..and we definitely found it! What a place, the houseboats were so unique and immaculately clean, also they were really well stocked, with comfortable beds and really spacious for their size. We also had the added bonus of our morning visits from the friendly Manatees. I could go on and on, but everyone needs to experience this little piece of heaven once in their lives!! 🤗

    I recommend this to all I wish I could stay longer. I will definitely be going back. My dogs even had the time of their lives. Oh, I almost forgot to mention off her boat house. There's always sea life attracting your attention from manatees to tarpon,jellyfish, even a dolfine.

    Everything was amazing the staff,boat,location,amenities, beach,bbq my whole family loved it even brought a guess from Cali a friend and he loved it. I will tell the world of this place thanks 😊 🙏

    Nothing

    The location was perfect. It was quiet and peaceful. The gentle rocking of the boat and the black out curtains was a great combination. I slept like a rock! The sun setting over the trees was beautiful. The manatees visiting was a bonus. The woman at the desk was helpful in guiding us about local things to do. There is a Publix right through the fence. You could literally park your car and grab some groceries and just chill. I would definitely go back.
