My husband and I and our 12 year old golden retriever stayed at this house for a week in January. The outdoor area and fenced yard was perfect, she loves watching fish so the lighted dock was a big draw, as well as the privacy offered by this home. The porch was wonderful with plenty of seating. The weather was miserable 5 out of the 7 days we were there so we didn’t get to enjoy it very much, but definitely plan to return.The indoor spaces were clean and comfortable. Loved the location as well, approximately 5-10 minutes to the beach, grocery, great restaurants and airport.

Hands down this is the best place we have ever stayed at! The private boat ramp located on the property is a very rare find. The pool and hot tub overlooking the water is amazing! The owners have supplied the property with everything from kayaks, paddle boards, bikes, pool floats…you name it and it’s there! The home is very clean and well stocked. The living area and kitchen area is huge as well. The views are stunning from the house, pool and dock! We snorkeled, fished and kayaked every day right from the dock. We had the best week with our kids and grandkids and can’t wait to come back! Jamie is great to work with and very responsive and helpful!

Appliances, bathrooms, and bedrooms were clean. Pools, water toys and outdoor space made the property. This was our first visit to the Keys and the outdoor space saved the trip. We love the Florida beaches but the Key beaches are not great. This did not affect my property review. The property owner responded quickly however we were not given notice of the boat ramp being used by other people. The plumbers who showed up and somehow came into the locked gate unannounced, the contractor who yelled from the gate asking for Ben. Despite that I would recommend this house for vacation especially because it was clean!!

Our trip to this home was nothing short of incredible. Everything you read about in the description is spot on plus you’ll experience amazing sunsets from the dock or even sitting in the hot tub. We quickly found our favorite spots in Marathon but we were also very happy just hanging out at the house - playing pool, riding bikes, fishing, etc. Communication with the owners is the best I’ve ever had with a rental. They reply immediately and they are truly so kind. Book this home, you will not regret it one bit. We left with memories we will never forget!

Paradise!

This property did not disappoint. The location is spectacular, being minutes away from scuba diving, grocery, dining, and Key Fisheries for fresh local seafood. There is also a wonderful wildlife preserve within kayaking, walking or biking distance. Outdoor spaces were pristine and the pool was cleaned/serviced two times during our stay. The kayaks and paddle boards provided at the property were in great shape and used daily by our family. There are plenty of outdoor seating areas to enjoy as well. The house was exactly as expected and had a well stocked kitchen for cooking. This is definitely a home we will look forward to visiting again in the future. The icing on the cake was seeing a manatee right off the dock the morning we checked out. The property owner was helpful and thorough and provided great information.

Favorite spot in Marathon

We enjoyed our second year in a row with family and friends at this amazing property. We noticed all the upgrades that were made. Especially the downstairs garage and game area. With the great weather we had, the pool was very refreshing. Having your own boat launch on the property is a huge bonus. We had no problems trailering in a 27ft Cape Horn. The dock area also made it very easy to kayak and paddleboard. Everyone was a huge fan of the outside cabana bath. The inside of the house is very open and spacious. Plenty of room for cooking and card games. The views are also spectacular. If you’re looking for perfect sunsets and total privacy this house does not disappoint. Jamie is also very gracious and attentive to any of your needs. Don’t pass this place up. Until next time Marathon. Mary Ann and Terry
