Cute motel with nice little added touches such as k-cups for your morning coffee in coffee mugs, furnished silverware and nice towels. The bed was comfortable, Air worked well, nice hot shower. The lady who checked us in was super nice and talkative. Hotels.com did advertise that it is on the water which is somewhat false. Pool felt warm and was clean. Nice sitting area near the canal. Nice hotel for the price.

This island is not worth staying here.
This place could be cute with some major overhauling. You can tell that most of the freestanding furniture was newer, but every bit of the actual construction looks and feels like it has not been touched since the 80's. The "checkout" process is a joke - I sure hope nobody took my key out of that highly secure mailbox! For almost $200 a night on a random Tuesday, they are banking on the fact that Marco Island does not do inexpensive. If the Boat House were more like the Postcard Inn in St. Pete I'd stay there again. As it is I'd stay closer to Naples, have some amenities, and make the drive.

Tastefully renovated throwback gem with waterfront decks to watch boats and dolphins. Very clean and reasonably priced. We lucked out on this random roadtrip pick!

Great location, good value.
Great location and friendly staff. We had a room that had a very comfortable king bed but the queen bed was horrible so my sister and law and I ended up sharing the king bed. Had it been someone that wasn’t comfortable sharing or 2 couples then the queen bed would have been a real problem. It is an older motel and could use a little renovation however it is well maintained and clean.

If you like old Florida you may like this place, but it is ancient. Mold in the bathroom, ants in the bathroom sink, loud appliances, TV that wouldn’t completely shut off so there was a lot of light all night. Plus there was no one there to check me in when I arrived even though I arrived during the specified window. Would never stay here again.

We took a short trip to Marco Island prior to a tradeshow in Orlando. We stayed at the Boathouse based on reviews. We were not disappointed! The hotel had a nostalgic feel to it and reminded us of childhood motel stays. The rooms were very clean, well stocked, and the owners and staff were very friendly and accommodating. We came down just a few days after hurricane Milton came through so we were a little concerned that there would be lot of damage and power out, etc. We didn't experience any of that. Most of the island had already been cleaned up and no issues with power. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to the Marco Island area and would highly recommend it to others!

This motel has a great dock area adjacent to the pool. There are chairs and tables. Fishing is allowed. The deluxe king was large with an updated bathroom and small balcony. There are a couple places to eat in walking distance. I think it was a good value.
