This is a nice little motel(about 20 rooms) on the water and with a pool and a boat ramp/dockage. The bed and pilloows were great. The sink in the bathroom did not drain well. The carpeting was not properly vacuumed so I was stepping on things. There were some ants in the bathroom. Overall it was good, not great and... More

My husband and I found this charming 50's motel and were not disappointed when we arrived. Clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the pool with a great view and all the nice outdoor seating areas. The staff was helpful. We only stayed 3 nights but could easily get comfortable their for a longer stay. We came to go Tarpon fishing and... More

I had the best experience at the Blue Waters Motel. Jen in the main office helped me find scuba locations, great hotels nearby, and was just a warm, kind soul. I had the room above the office and it met all my needs. It was clean, had a microwave, a small fridge, king size bed, a coffee maker, plenty of... More

Heavy brown drapes covering the windows with blue bedspreads that were too long (covered the headboards). Some paint in the kitchen would have taken about an hour to do - put a chair against the wall to hide the terrible wall around the little table. Crack in door to other room from kitchenette let cigarette smoke in our room. Chair... More

Have stayed there twice. Close enough to drive back from Key West for the night. Just drive sober. Rooms are definitely not fancy but for the budget minded traveler it's the best deal around. Friendly staff. Nice location. Ocean view, not from the room but from the property.

Having had a rather miserable experience at the Holiday Inn in Marathon, I trusted the other TripAdvisor reviews and stayed here with my son for a long weekend spearfishing. It was absolutely perfect. We have stayed at Hawk's Cay which was very nice, but overkill for a guy's trip. It's a classic '50s motel. Low-key, casual, comfortable and clean. The... More

This is a traditional 1950's Florida experience. Most of the units are semi-detached with their own car port. We had unit #12 with two double beds, a complete kitchen, and a large washroom. It was far enough from from Highway 1 that we did not hear the traffic noise. The washroom had a shower instead of a tub ( fresh... More

This was the first time having the experience of our being disappointed with lodging after reading many great TA reviews. Granted, at $130 a night, I guess you get what you pay for, but our $99/night local La Quinta was nicer than this. Though the room was clean, it had strong unpleasant odor of chlorine bleach upon entry. (Clean is... More

Blue Waters is a great find. Very helpful staff; best dinner recommendation (from Chad) of our Florida trip; a large, clean, comfortable room; a pool with a great view of the water....our overnight stay became a highlight instead of 'just passing through.' Thank you Chad and staff.
