Classic 20 unit Florida Keys motel located on the Florida Bay. Our rooms have two double beds or a king bed and offer the option of a kitchen. Blue Waters offers a pool overlooking the bay along with a boat harbor and boat ramp. We are located at mile marker 48.5, just up from the Seven Mile Bridge for boating access from the bay to the ocean. We do not offer a beach, however there are two nice beaches in close proximity.

It is a shame that all some people can see is negative when this property has so many positives. We stayed in room six by the docks and pool for two nights. We pd extra for the kitchen and our room was very clean and neat. Our room had two twins a futon and large bathroom and kitchen with sitting... more

Over the last five years we have stayed at quite a few motels in Marathon and found Blue Waters to be one of the very best, this is mostly due to very friendly owners and fantastic location. They have a great dock area with very easy access to bay or ocean side fishing. Also, a very nice swimming pool area... more

My family and I stayed at the Blue waters motel and were pleased with the value. With a family, the rooms were spacious. There was a pool and a great view. It was also close to Marathon to get all vacation necessities (food, sunblock, etc.). We were on a budget and the room exceeded the price we paid. The stafff... more

Good location if you are planning a stay in the upper Keys but way too far to commute to Key West which is 1.5hr drive away. Way over priced and to make matters worse price was upped because we were a party of four (2 adults and 2 kids). We opted out of the additional USD10/day for kitchen access. Very... more

My wife and I go to the Keys to dive and not for shore-based activities. Accommodation quality is not particularly important to us. Nevertheless, Blue Waters did not meet expectations. There is no beach, only a docking area with poorly circulating water that is rather filthy. A small, but servicable, pool is adjacent to the dock. We paid extra for... more

Blue Waters survived Hurricane Wilma, and welcomed us with things in working order, no small fete in the Keys. We were impressed with the cleaniness of this older motel, complete with carport! Owners are on site, working every day, so if you have any minor problem, someone attends to it right away. Very accomodating. Even tho' we ate out alot,... more

We live in Marathon and put some family here when we ran out of room. It was ok. I trust the reviews on this site and just wanted to give some input. It wasn't as great as we expected, but not that bad. Would prob choose a quieter place off the highway next time. The trucks going by late at... more

My wife and I stayed here with our three grandchildren on April 8th. I have mixed feelings about this hotel. There was nothing particularly wrong with the rooms or the hotel itself. On the plus side, the rooms were reasonably large and clean. Also on the plus side, when we arrived early they had a room ready and allowed us... more

We stayed in the Blue Waters in Feb, 2005, and had a very enjoyable experience. It is an older but very well kept up motel right on the Overseas Highway. It has a nice pool, a boat dock, lots of chairs, tables, etc. outside, even right by the gulf for enjoying the view and the countless pelicans. Our only objection... more
