“A Find !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 February 2012

people found this review helpful

We stayed at the Boathouse Motel for the second time this past January. It did not disappoint. Tucked away in Old Town Marco, it is "off the beaten path." Rooms are HUGE and well appointed. Office staff couldn't be more helpful. With a proper fishing license you can fish to your heart's content off the docks at the end of the motel. My husband spent a day throwing back his catch as we had no way of preparing them. I'm almost afraid to recommend it too much as I appreciate the fact that it is "secluded."

“A slice of Old Florida”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 February 2012

I'll admit that I'm old enough to remember the Motels and Motor Lodges of a previous generation, so it's with a touch of nostalgia that I write this review. The Boat House Motel could use some updating, but overdoing it would potentially spoil its charm as a comfortable location from which one can explore all that Marco Island has to offer. The rooms were spacious, the amenities more than adequate (free wireless internet, refrigerator, microwave, etc.), and the location perfect. After awhile, the ubiquitous turquoise paint grows on you...

“Great Location and Hospitality”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

We just completed a 6 night stay at the Boathouse. Have been to Marco several times and did not know it was there but am very glad we discovered it. The rooms are large and comfortable and the location in Old Marco is great for walking. It is on a canal with docks and waterside deck which are also great amenities.

It's bones are an old motor lodge but the owners are really upgrading the physical plant and are the most accommodating innkeepers you will encounter, willing to provide guidance on any aspect of your visit.

We had a great trip to Marco and the Boathouse played a significant role in that.
