Magical stay in the keys

This home is perfect for an active family. We enjoyed meals on the porch deck and evenings on the dock. We snorkeled, we kayaked, we paddle boarded, all right off the dock. This place is a great place for a casual, adventurous family vacation with no need to leave the home to experience all the natural beauty the keys has to offer.

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!

Perfect stay!

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!

The property looks even more beautiful in person than the pictures portray. The location is perfect for enjoying all the keys north or south and perfect for enjoying what Marathon has to offer.

Everything you could ever ask for in a vacation home

Our family had a great time in this house. It has everything that you could ask for. Located right on the water on the gulf side, it has great views and exceptional sunsets. The pool and hot tub are great also. The pool is heated in case you get a cool day. We fished from the dock and caught quite a few different types of fish. At night, tarpon swim under the dock lights. The house also is equipped with kayaks, paddle boards and fishing gear. It really was an outstanding experience.

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.

Awesome Gulf View

The home is situated on a wonderful spot on the gulf and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Plenty of activities, especially enjoyed the pool table and of course the pool and hot tub. The neighborhood was quiet and with the gates driveway was very private. We enjoyed the dock for boating and watching the wildlife such as parrot fish, tarpon, lobster, crab, dolphin, horseshoe crab and many other species of fish. Absolutely wonderful with the clear water. The home is comfortable and very cozy for relaxing and the kitchen is well appointed. Highly recommend for either a couple of a family, plenty of room between the inside and the outside areas to spread out and enjoy. We will be back for sure!

Fabulous Marathon Gem

We are a busy family of 5 with college and high school age boys. We loved our week at Marathon and this house was perfect for us. We rented a boat which we docked easily at the property. The pool, the lower deck, the dock, and the patio were well used! We spent most of our time outside enjoying the gorgeous views. Our entire family was very comfortable in the home. The kitchen accommodated our needs perfectly and we were able to cook when we chose to. The location is perfect--right in the middle of Marathon with quick access to Publix as well as numerous restaurants. It was peaceful and quiet and the views at sunset are amazing. For people who want to fish, access to the gulf is obviously easy, but it is also just a short ride to the 7 mile bridge or Vaca cut to get to the Atlantic side. We will rent here again.

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

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.
