We stayed at the Blue Waters for a week and enjoyed the many activities there in the Florida Keys. The motel was a 5 min. walk away from kayak and bicycle rentals ($15 and $10 per day) and a mile away from the snorkel boat dock ($25). Bahia Honda State Park is on the other side of the bridge, about 10 min. away. I had a list of other small motels in Marathon, but this one is by far superior in terms of setting, location, and buildings. There is a carport with each room and beautiful atmosphere all around. The owners and staff are very accessible and helpful - nice people. Marathon itself is an amazing place to be, with its beaches and coral reefs, and people so helpful (from clerks in grocery store to crew on snorkel boats). Now I already know where to stay on our next trip!
