We arrived on Marco Island whilst driving around Florida and went on a search for a place to stay for the night - we weren't keen on a big resort type hotel and came across the Boat House in Old Marco - absolutely perfect! The owner Desree was so welcoming and gave us lots of handy tips on places to... More

The location of this hotel was very good, on check in the owner was very helpful with information on various restaurants in the area. The room was very nice and the cleaning staff were very good. I have only two grumbles, if you like sleep then beware of the air conditioning unit, the noise was like a jumbo jet taking... More

This is the third year that we have stayed at the Boat House Motel. They have wonderful accommodations and very spacious rooms. There is a beautiful view of the water and you can walk a very short distance to the Snook Inn for a great dinner! Very reasonable price!

We spent 5 wonderful peaceful nights at The Boathouse. All of the staff from the front desk to the cleaning staff was personable kind. We had a large, immaculate, and comfortable room. The bedding was terrific. As a girl great sheets are the bees knees. The location is close to everything. There was shopping, dining, and several recreation rental stores... More

Not flashy, but on the water and tucked away out of the hustle of bustle, especially in season. Docks available for those bringing a boat - I always ask for room 11 -- second floor on the water with a nice balcony to relax.

Kick back and watch the boats as they head in and out ... several docks for the boaters who want to hook up, just one... More

The staff were friendly from beginning to end. When I called to make the reservation the staff were great. When we checked in, they were informative and friendly. I was checking in late and they made the accomodation for this. The room was clean and neat, and comfortable. I had a King and two twin beds. The bathroom was comfortable,... More

We stayed one night and decided we wanted to be on Marco Island. I looked online and found The Boat House Motel with many good reviews. I called and they had... More

Well the weather didn't help (first rain for months apparently) but our Marco Island stay was disappointing. The motel was looking a bit tired and the pictures were deceptive as only the very end 2 rooms had any view of the water/dock - otherwise all you could see were car parks. 2 mugs but nothing else in the room. Needs... More
