Staying at Mangrove Marina and Resort was a truly unique experience. The houseboat we rented, the Yellowtail, was spacious, well-equipped, and allowed us to relax while enjoying the gentle rocking of the water (which felt like a fun twist on camping!). Although the houseboats can be close to one another, I found it easy to unwind and appreciate the vibrant marina atmosphere. The staff, especially Mike, were incredibly attentive and made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
The Yellowtail was spacious with a well-equipped kitchen and comfortable sleeping arrangements, including a queen bed in the main bedroom and a loft for the kids.
Mike's attentiveness really stood out, making sure all my requests were handled promptly and with care.
The marina's location is fantastic, with beautiful views and easy access to local wildlife and recreational activities, enhancing the overall experience.
I appreciated the proximity to quality dining options nearby and loved sipping coffee on the top deck with stunning views.
The resort features a heated pool and outdoor relaxation spaces, perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.

My stay at Mangrove Marina And Resort Aqualodge Houseboats was truly unique, as I experienced life on a houseboat for the first time. I loved the spacious design of the Yellowtail, especially the rear deck where I could watch fish at night, but the rocking during windy weather took a bit of getting used to. The staff, especially Mike, were attentive and really made sure I was comfortable. Overall, it was a great getaway, perfect for relaxation, although I wished there were better fishing options right at the marina.
The Yellowtail was spacious with a nice kitchen and inviting layout, though it swayed with the waves.
Mike's attentiveness and the friendly staff made my stay very enjoyable; they were always ready to assist.
The location is fantastic, overlooking the marina and conveniently close to boat rentals, but it would be nice to have more fishing spots available.
While I didn't find the onsite dining options very appealing, there were local restaurants nearby that were great.
The facilities, including outdoor showers and the warm pool, added to the unique houseboat experience.

I had a fantastic stay at Mangrove Marina And Resort Aqualodge Houseboats in Tavernier. The uniqueness of staying on a houseboat added to my experience, offering great views of the sunset and a peaceful atmosphere. Although the shower was slightly cramped and there were some noise from the gentle rocking of the boat during the winds, these quirks just added to the charm of the place. Overall, I would definitely come back for another relaxing getaway.
Staying in the Yellowtail houseboat was a good experience. It felt spacious with a comfortable queen bed in the master bedroom, twin beds in the loft, and a pullout sofa. The kitchen had all the essentials to prepare simple meals, and I really enjoyed the living space.
Mike, the owner, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. His attentiveness made sure all my needs were met during my stay, and I appreciated the staff's helpfulness in recommending local activities and dining options.
Situated in a quieter part of the Keys, the location was perfect for accessing attractions without the hustle and bustle. Watching local wildlife from the deck was an added bonus!
The proximity to delicious local restaurants and food trucks was a highlight. I loved trying the local smoked fish, which enhanced my culinary experience while staying near the water.
The marina has excellent amenities, including a heated pool which was a great spot to relax after a day of exploring. I also appreciated the outdoor spaces available for lounging and enjoying the view.
