Villas Marina of Lake Muskoka

Had a great experience renting a boat here. Friendly staff, and they take the time to explain everything. Will definitely be going back there. Andy the owner is very friendly and helpful too.

We rented pontoon for a week and it was great! The boat was relatively new, clean and well priced. Derek was great to work with and the rental experience was seamless and easy. I would definitely rent a boat from them again! Thanks Derek!

Excellent access point to the western islands of Lake Muskoka. Service with a smile and always willing to help.

My spouse and I spent the weekend at the Lakefront Cottage at Villas Marina and loved it! Derek's hospitality was unmatched. Whenever we needed anything, we were able to text him and he had a prompt and pleasant response each time!

This smaller marina has a sushi restaurant right next door, and is only 5 minutes from Clear Lake Brewery. We used "Torrane Taxi" who were prompt and affordable to get to/from the breweries. The cute cottage came with fresh towels, hand soap, dish soap and minimal cookware. I would suggest bringing any cooking items, dishes, utensils and paper towel. The Marina supplied garbage bags and toilet paper, and if we ran out we just asked for more without a problem. The firepit and private dock for us were wonderful to use as well.

It was the perfect, quiet get away for us and would be suitable for a small family as well. We will definitely stay here again without a doubt! Thanks to Derek and his team for hosting us and providing the optimal relaxing getaway weekend!

Warning: Do not come here for any of their services! When I first spoke to them on the phone to reserve a pontoon, everything seemed ok. They have heavy Chinese accents but they understood everything I was saying and I made my boat reservation without issues. Upon arrival the marina appeared a bit dirty. They had weird mattresses and old broken furniture In the corner. They sold strange items like firecrackers (which I think is only legal during certain parts of the year and not all year round) and odd paintings. When asked if they sold worms or live bait they said no. We got on the boat and enjoyed a great morning. At noon, we came back to the marina to dock the pontoon and use their washrooms and have lunch. I asked the lady where their washrooms were. She reluctantly told me the second door on the right. When I went inside, it was the smelliest and dirtiest washroom I had ever seen. Honestly, I don’t think they ever cleaned it once. However, I was desperate so I quickly used their washroom and left. We had such a great time we decided to rent the boat for the next day as it was available. The second day is where we had all the issues. On day two, we did the same thing. Went to the lake and headed back at lunch to use their washroom. I already knew where it was located as I had used the washrooms the previous day so I politely said hello and proceeded to the washroom. That’s when I heard the man (I’m guessing he is the owner) demanding to know where I was going in the rudest tone I had ever heard. I informed him that I was going to use their washroom and that I was the person who rented Their pontoon for two days (I also spent almost a thousand dollars there but did not say that). At that time, the owner strictly informed me that the bathrooms were not available for public use. I was quite confused and told him I had just used their washroom several times the day before and my husband used it that very same morning. The guy then told me that just because he was SO KIND to offer the washroom to us before does not mean I can repeatedly take advantage of his KINDNESS. First of all, I didn’t realize offering a dirty, smelly, bathroom to a customer who has paid almost a thousand dollars was kindness but just common sense and good business practice to continue attracting customers. Especially considering this place is in the middle of nowhere with no other businesses nearby other then a rundown sushi restaurant next door. I informed him that because I am a lady, I cannot just do my business in a bush somewhere and that I was in dire need of a washroom as I was holding it all morning. I assured him I would be quick. He then stood up, was unmasked with no face shield or covering whatsoever and demanded that I leave his store at once. Stating that by me using his washroom, public health would surely shut his business down. I informed him that as a business owner myself, he shouldnt worry about that. As a business owner, I provide washroom access to my customers all the time and had never had public health shut me down for doing so. Although I didn’t say it at the time to be polite, I did think him not wearing a mask may shut him down however. He became aggressive and insisted I leave. I asked him if he could suggest where I could possibly go, seeing as how we were in the middle of nowhere and I was in urgent need of a bathroom. I pleaded with him and all he said was that it was not his problem. He then suggested I go knocking on people’s homes to ask if they would let me in! As a paying customer who is always respectful and kind to others, I have never been treated like that before. I was dumbstruck at his horrid, cruel, and unexplainable inconsistent behaviour. I left the store in tears! I would highly suggest finding a place that will be more compassionate to your needs and finding a place that will treat you with more dignity and professionalism. This place is awful and the people just plain horrid. Support nicer people with your business! Go elsewhere!

Poor management. The washrooms are very dirty half the time there's no toilet paper or paper towel. Even if you guys parking slip they will put a piece of paper on your car saying they will tow it.

The view was wonderful, the food amazing and our server Peter gave us excellent service and is very knowledgeable. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Terrible customer experience. I rented a jet ski and they tried to double charge me. DO NOT RENT FROM THIS PLACE.

They give you "last warning parking notices" on their customer parking lot if you don't purchase parking permission. Don't have a sign out that says so either. Rather rude.

Great local marina if you are on south end of Lake Muskoka - very friendly staff - excellent mechanic also located on site!

Rented island cottage for a week with family. Booked in early March for late August vacation. The property and layout of cottages were as expected with main cottage, bunkie and boathouse. The dock was excellent to sit on and to jump into water. The property and cottage itself are not well cared for. This cottage is not loved and is simply for rental purposes only. When we arrived we were told not to use water in boathouse and that they had called a plumber. On our 5th day the bunkie cottage water backed up and was not fixed until our 2nd last day. Prior to our arrival we did not receive anything from rental company advising what to bring. When we arrived there were no spices at all. Small amount of water down dish detergent and laundry soap. One dishwasher pod. No other cleaning supplies were there. The place is not clean at all and does not look like the windows have been cleaned for years. There was no brush to clean bbq. Not one window has window coverings. When loading dishwasher the dishwasher falls out of cupboards. The place is falling apart and when dealing with Derrick and others they really could care less. The window screens are all falling apart and if renting in early spring you will be in trouble.

My family and I loved this cottage! The staff is very friendly, and Andy is very helpful and accommodating. The place is gorgeous and there are a lot of activities to do
