Great place to stay. Brand new cabin. Still smelled like new inside. So close to the water. They had kayaks to take out. Places to sit around the fire pit. Bench to watch the ocean and see the sunset. Can even snorkel around the rocks on the jetty. We even rented a pontoon boat from the place go out and explore. Nice place.

We had a wonderful time in our cabin! It was very clean and had everything we needed. This is more of a "simple" stay so don't expect a ton of frills but the ac was cold, the little sitting area by the canal was nice to sit at, and the guest passes to the Cabana Club were so nice to use for a pool and beach day. It is a great cental location as well. The management was so responsive and kind as well. Amazing budget-friendly stay in the heart of the keys!

We had an amazing experience at the Aqua Lodge! The space was super clean and smelled great as soon as we walked in, it’s clear they take cleanliness and attention to detail seriously. The lodge was fully stocked with everything we needed: kitchen essentials, towels, and even organic products for the shower and sink (which they kindly ask guests to use). Everything was thoughtful and well prepared. Overall, we had such a fun and relaxing stay, we’ll definitely be back!

We enjoyed staying here. The first night was windy and we had a LOT of banging during the night. Our second night was much better the wind died down and it was nice during the night.

We needed a place to stay that we could park close to being that we came to dive and had a lot of gear. The closest neighbor greated us upon arrival, the atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. The boat gently rocked you to sleep at night on the comfy beds, couldn't have asked for more honestly and plan to come back.

Had a wonderful time. So much to do in the area. We enjoyed the Cabana Club beach only a short drive away and included in the fee. We were there for the coldest week of the year. The maintenance gentleman, Scott and his assistant were kind enough to bring a hard to find space heater that kept us toasty warm as well a giving spot on recommendations for great places to eat. Some construction in the area but tolerable. Hope to return someday.

I would give 10 stars if possible! We are a family of 6 and had an amazing stay for a week. Starting with things I read other negative reviews about and worried about: Septic- yes. Sometimes you get the faint smell of a septic system. This is absolutely no different than camping, RV'ing or boating. It is not the smell of waste, its just the normal smell of the tank. This is expected in this structure of home. Construction- the nearby construction noise was there but never bothered us and we have a very light sleeper. Small living space- with 4 kids from age 17 to 2, we had absolutely no problems spacing out! Nobody even had to share beds! The loft was amazing. Couch a full pull out. Old or aged unit- our house was clearly very well kept, updated with beautiful paint, kitchen appliances, beds and the like. Nothing was aged. Moving on to our experience- the customer service top notch! We used almost all the amenities... bikes, kayaks, Swim Club pool, private beach access, restaurant recommendations, you name it. The house is setup in a way that you can cook full meals, sit your kiddos at a table inside or outside, enjoy the beach at two different locations and its all very quiet but welcoming. We will absolutely come back.

Marathon Disappointment

Aqua Lodge has two locations that were not mentioned in the listing. We were at the 47th Street location and it was poor at best. The boat was fine for two people for a few days. The property is not very well maintained. There’s a 45+ foot yacht permanently moored 10 feet in front of the boat completely blocking any view and there’s dogs and cats roaming the property leaving feces everywhere! The yacht haven location is much better while the 47th Street location is very poor at best!

The toilet smelled horrible whenever flushed and then whole boat would smell like septic for hours. I complained and the office manager told me that’s normal because it’s like an RV septic tank. I’ve been in several RVs and they don’t smell… I would not stay again!

We absolutely loved our stay here! The boat house was very cute and very clean, not a single issue the entire time. Yes, the boat will rock a bit depending on the weather, but that is to be expected when you’re floating on water. The people in the area were very friendly and the woman who we rented the boat house from was extremely nice and accommodating. She answered any questions that we had and had excellent communication. We would absolutely stay at the aqua lodges again the next time we visit Marathon! 10/10 would recommend to anyone with a small family visiting the area.
