Canal Front, Priv. Dock, Pet Friendly, Ocean Side
Enjoy the palm trees & island breeze at this canal front 2/2 half duplex located on Marathon’s ocean side. 30 feet of private dockage included! Truck & Trailer Parking!
Feel refreshed walking into the Mermaid’s Den after a long day spent under the salty Florida Keys sun.
Tropical touches fill the entire home, a subtle reminder that you never really left the sandbar.
Cool off in the sparkling master ensuite bathroom before dozing off in your plush king size bed. Your sunkissed skin relieved to feel the cool A/C lowering your body’s temperature.
Once awaken, make your way into the fully stocked kitchen and prepare (or have prepared) a delicious breakfast for the others in your group, who have just made their way out of the comfy & clean, queen guest bedroom.
You can also choose to grill your fresh catch on the BBQ and enjoy your meal water side, with seating for 6 at the backyard patio table.
Once you’re all full, spend some time lounging in the modernly chic living room with Queen sleeper sofa, catching up on your favorite Netflix shows (courtesy of our smart TV’s). Before making your way back out into the beautiful world of The Florida Keys. This is island living at it’s best!

Many times, you don't get what is advertised. Bogus photos rule the internet, BUT NOT HERE! Everything was as shown on the site, spotless, comfortable, and if/when we again visit the Keys, I will be contacting Bert so as to rent the home again. Supurb hospitality and service. When we couldn't get the TV in the master bedroom to work, I called, and within 20 minutes, the owner, Bert, was there to correct the situation. Turns out all that was needed were batteries in the remote. The place is SUPER QUIET, safe, clean, and well supplied with everything one may need. Only if an ironing board and iron were supplied, but hey, one can't have everything. Yes, as sure as my name is John, I WILL be renting from Bert during my next visit.

Just Right
The place is small. The use of space very efficient. It was nicely decorated. It was clean and quiet. New mattresses are a MUST and hard to lock door. Otherwise it was a perfect stay. My family and I spent our days on the water making this place Perfect. The boat dock right out the back door was more than convenient. We would stay there again.

Great!
Liked that the home had ample docking space for our boat and kayaks. The parking space for our boat and trailer was also nice to keep it protected from the rain and sunlight when not in use. The kitchen had most of the basic tools and pans needed to prepare different meals. Pretty beach and ocean themed decor inside the home. Bert was also quick to respond to any questions or concerns we had as well. The house is also located near grocery stores and restaurants. We were also able to see manatees in the canal near the house, while on kayak! Overall a great house in the center of the Florida Keys.

Nice clean house on canal
The house was as described. Very clean, and well-furnished. Probably time for new mattress' though. Nice neighbor next door. Narrow canal, but definitely navigable. Learn the channel to get in there before attempting as its very shallow. I would stay again.
