Wow! This was a great place to stay. Clean, spacious, everything we wanted. Helen was great to deal with, she checked on us when we arrived in Florida to make sure we made it to the house ok. The house had everything we needed. It was also the perfect location to go where we needed to go. The pool was warm and great tonrelax in. We enjoyed the beach club a few days. Just and awesome place.
It was everything we wanted and needed for our week stay. It accommodated our boat, trailer and family. Loved being the canal and the easy access to the Atlantic. House was clean, good indoor and outdoor space. Helen was quick to answer any questions. We will be back!
This was a wonderful stay for our family of five (all adults). The house is exactly as advertised and supplied with all that we needed. We enjoyed swimming daily in the pool and caught plenty of fish in this great canal. A nice short walk to Sunset Park (even got to watch the St. Patrick’s Day parade for Key Colony Beach) and a quick hop over to the Cabana Club to enjoy another part of the community. Helen was very helpful anytime we had to reach out. We would love to stay here again for our time in the Keys!
This is a lovely home and Helen was the best host we have had in all our years. We have been frequenting Marathon at least annually for 25+ years. In those years, we have had many very good hosts, but Helen's response to our questions was not only incredibly prompt but also very accommodating. The home had everything you need, was very comfortable including the beds and the canal is perfect for boating along with fishing. Perfect place and host. Thanks Helen for making our trip so enjoyable.
This was the easiest booking and check in ever! Helen was the perfect host.
The place is located on a big canal. There was all kinds of big boats docked along the canal so I feel safe to say that any guest bringing a boat is good to go. We have a 28 ft boat, big trailer and big truck. First VRBO where there wasnt any issue with parking, plenty, plenty of space! The house is very spacious and well equiped. The pool and backyard is great!
I will most definitely book this place again! I just wish I could put more people in the house because I'm bringing my whole family back this summer but I need space for 10 people this time.
Thank you again Helen!!
House was perfect for family trip. Boat dock was nice to use for our boat, easy Access to both gulf and Atlantic for great fishing and snorkeling. Great all around trip!!
Perfect Stay. Home was clean, had everything we needed. Pool was heated which worked out perfectly for the stay since we were here during the coldest week of the season. Nice wide windows off the kitchen to view the boats and kayaks traveling on the canal while eating inside. I enjoyed the kayaks that Helen provided as well. Helen has been so nice, communicated almost immediately with any questions. All in all a great place, great location, just a short walk to Sunset Beach to watch the sunset. We will be back!!
We had a wonderful week at this home. Perfect for our teens and my husband and I. We rented a boat from Ocean View Marina glad we did we had a ton of fun fishing and snorkeling. Thanks for the perfect spring break!
