When we arrived all went smoothly. The home is beautiful and super clean. A trip to the grocery store and we were all set to enjoy this comfortable home in a great neighborhood. The dock handled our Jupiter 31 beautifully. There was plenty of room on the property to keep our long trailer. The swimming pool was a lifesaver and very clean. Michelle, Property Manager was super easy to reach when needed. We had a great time and look forward to coming back.

Great property and location
We had a wonderful stay at Shanghai-La Hideaway. Well appointed home with a really nice pool area and dock. A quiet street with a very short walk to Sombrero Beach if you decide to leave the resort style pool. This is a really convenient location. The manager Michelle was a pleasure to deal with. Communication with her was flawless and she even texted updates about things going on in town that we may be interested in. We will be back next year!

House was really clean stocked with plenty of towels and all the kitchen utensils that you would need ice machine was a great plus short walk over to the park at Sombrero Beach little bit of traffic though on the weekend getting in and out, but was OK Publix right up the road. Plenty of room to park the boat just be careful coming in and out of the channel can get a little shallow sometimes. would definitely recommend this house.

Great Stay
We stayed here for spring break with two families consisting of 9 people in total. There is plenty of space and the house is very well maintained. The pool area is fantastic and the property manager was great to work with.
The only caution is the depth of the water a low tide if you have a larger boat. We saw less than a foot on our first night as it was a negative low.

Absolute perfection!!
Eight of us traveled to Marathon for Spring Break and booked this house. Everything about the house was perfect. The location cannot be beat. It was well stocked and appointed. The ice machine is a huge bonus. We are avid fishermen and used it every day. We had rented a boat, and the dock made it easy. The proximity by canal to both the Atlantic and the Gulf could not be better. Less than 5 minutes to the Atlantic and that is only because it is a minimal wake zone. Actual distance to the Atlantic could be measured in yards. Go out the east side of the canal, and there are three marinas for fuel and bait. Less than 10 minutes to the east side canal exit, and you get to fish the mangroves along the way. Exiting that side of the canal, there is 7 mile bridge and the Gulf. The property is also walking distance (less than 5 minutes) to Sombrero beach without the hassle of finding parking. I cannot say enough about how great the location is.
The balcony is large and comfortable. It faces east so you can see the sunrise over the palms. The property manager was excellent. Very communicative and friendly. We could not have picked a better place to have a great Spring Break. We would definitely stay here again.
