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.

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.

Owners and staff very friendly and accommodating. Room was clean and everything worked great. Great wifi in each room.
Being on the water is very relaxing and their deck area is fantastic, especially if you like to fish or just watch nature.

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.

It’s obviously an older property so there is only so much to wish for. It’s clean, staff is great and in a nice and quiet area.

Great location, clean and friendly service. My only complaint is they need blackout curtains. The room stays bright at night from the outside lights.
