Charming little motel with a picturesque location where the Marco River meets the Gulf of Mexico
The Boat House Motel is family owned and operated and has been for more than 20 years. The motel is tucked away in Olde Florida where we pride ourselves in preserving the simplistic charm of "Olde Marco". Our large wrap around dock lends itself to fishing, sunbathing or relaxing while the dolphin put on a show. We are also often visited by manatee and countless species of birds. Along with the motel units we offer a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom house that sits directly on top of water. It is surrounded on three sides by your own private dock, a private boatslip and views one can only dream about. Snook love to visit that location daily so don't be shy about casting your line! Although we are tucked away in a quiet and peaceful spot, we are only minutes away from "civilization". There are a few shops and restaurants within walking distance as well. Pets are welcome here at The Boat House Motel. We have reserved a few pet friendly rooms for our furry little friends. So please visit us soon, our dedicated friendly staff are ready and willing to make your stay on Marco Island one that you won't soon forget. We look forward to serving you!
