Staying on a houseboat was very unique. The boat was cute, very clean and cozy. Unfortunately we barely slept the first night due to the super loud air conditioning unit in the bedroom. The second night we ended sleeping on the pull out trundle couch/bed so we wouldn't have to suffer another night. Unfortunately the pull out was very hard and barely large enough for two adults.

I’m just going to say our boat did not resemble the pictures and there was a lot of movement. The weather didn’t help! It was fun trying something new.

Superb location

Really enjoyed our stay at yacht haven, the location is great with lots of shops etc nearby.We were on a fishing trip so enjoyed cheap beers at the Brass monkey 5 mins walk away most evenings! Units are like a cross between trailer and boat, i will say it was a little smaller than id imagined but that was never an issue. Manatees and Tarpon almost touching the dock, was so amazing. Staff went above and beyond , even lent us a cool box to save buying one for our trip, will definitely stay again.

Loved this place! It was clean & quiet (except for the roosters)! The staff were pleasant and helpful when needed. They have everything you need for a week stay or longer; like towels, kitchen items & toiletries. We loved watching the manatees. I would stay here again.

Great boathouse experience. Right on the water with a great view of the manatees. Close to decent restaurants (Island Fish & Sunset). 4 cup coffee pot. Plenty of towels and kitchen items. Tight cozy quarters. Great for 2

Excellent for what it is. It's a boat. As long as you're not expecting a fine resort, you'll love an aqua lodge. Manatees stopped by our last morning to wish us well.
