In all honesty, i'd like to rate this property at just 1 star, but it would be for purely selfish reasons. I would do it to keep it open so I could rent it over and over.My wife and 2 kids (20 & 18) just spent 2 weeks here. Yes, it was hot, and yes, at times the Sargasm (sp?) Would be a bit much, but the property is so secluded. We spent the days mostly in the pool or snorkeling and fishing.Quite simply the property is Ah-mazing. 5 stars all the way, and we hope to return again soon.

Wonderful Location

We had a great time Thanksgiving week! The house was clean and had everything we needed. The dock was definitely a main attraction for us. We saw numerous types of sea life including sea turtles and a manatee that was feeding right under the dock. We will definitely be back to the Marathon area again!

Didn't Want to Leave!

This house in a very quiet bayside neighborhood of Marathon was just what our family wanted. Snorkeling off the dock was so much fun for all of the family! We kayaked. We swam. We fished. We had an all around fun in the sun vacation! Hopefully we can go back in the future.

Fantastic

The house was very clean and had all the extras. My kids spent the entire vacation in the swimming pool or fishing on the dock. We caught all kinds of different fish, including three small sharks! Snorkeling was also great. My wife and I enjoyed the hammock and hanging out on the dock with the kids. The location is fabulous. Very close to some great restaurants and entertainment. I will definitely come back.

Amazing all around!

We had an amazing time at this house! It is in a great area. The neighborhood is quiet and great for bike rides. The house had everything we needed and more! We had so much fun fishing, snorkeling, kayaking, and paddle boarding. There is so much wildlife to see. There was a manatee that would visit with us in the afternoon. We also saw iguanas, turtles, sting rays, and all kinds of fish. The pool was so nice to have as well. Sunsets on the dock were unbelievable. It truly felt like our own little private paradise! Easy check in and check out. The host was great and easy to work with. Be sure to bring bug spray for the no see ums! Overall A+++ thank you for sharing your home with us!

Didn't want to leave.

It's rare when a home is is even bigger and nicer than the pictures. From the moment we pulled in the driveway we knew it was going to be a great week. We were celebrating my husbands birthday and knew we found a special place. Alida is great to rent from. One of our days the house wasn't getting cool. I emailed Alida and it couldn't have been more than 30 minutes and someone was there to fix the A/C. We are already trying to plan our next trip to Sunset Catch.

Ahhhhhh-mazing

I'm not really sure where to start here. The location was awesome. Quiet neighborhood, comfy beds, but close enough to EVERYTHING with a short drive. The house is very nice, with everything you need to get settled in right away. But the main draw here is what you may experience in your backyard while there. Yes, you have sunsets, but you have great fishing, and an abundance of wildlife to encounter. We caught tarpon right off the dock, snapper, gruntfish, and even a grouper! We saw several different nurse sharks, and the sea turtles were abundant. We snorkled, and saw dolphin right off the dock. We saw countless anoles, and even had several large iguana come and hang out with us during our stay. Unfortunately we didnt get to see the Manatee, so I guess we will have to come back. Truly folks, this is a great place, and we spent our trip home talking about how quickly we can get back. Alida was awesome to deal with, and I just cant give you many negatives here. We loved it, and hope to get back soon.

The house was spacious and clean. The pool and pier were perfect to spend our time at while not out exploring the keys. Location was close to everything in Marathon and centrally located for day trips to Key West and Islamorada. We would definitely stay here again.

The home is in a wonderful location on a private street. The view of the gulf is amazing. The outside area is private and a nice size. The home is clean and well maintained - very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked, outside grill in good condition and screened in porch was nice to have as bugs can definitely be a issue in the Keys. We enjoyed walking out on the pier - seen turtle and stingray. The sunsets are beautiful. The pool is a nice size and there are many floats available. There is also kayaks and paddleboard on site. Alida is a very responsive host. We would love to stay at the home again.

Summer vacation

Had a great time at the property. The house was spacious with large rooms and plenty of space to spread out. Gracious parking under the house with room for several cars/trucks/trailers. Enjoyed the house pool and snorkeling the dock area. Saw several nurse sharks swimming in the shallows along with tarpon, crabs and Perot fish under the dock. We used underwater lights off our boat to illuminate under the dock at night and attracted lots of marine life at night. The dock was equipped with power and water. One suggestion would be to add a few extra cleats on the dock to easily secure boats. We were very happy with the property so much we contacted the host to inquire about purchasing but were told it was not for sale. Can not say I blame them.

We are a family of five and we live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for over 30 years. We are originally from Argentina. We own other vacation rentals in Pompano Beach Florida The Beach House is VRBO #738231 and Beach Bungalow is VRBO #658036 where you can enjoy the beautiful beaches of the Atlantic Ocean. We love to entertain and we enjoy very much when our Guest tell us how much fun or how much they enjoy our place. We decided to explore another paradise and couldn't think of anything better than the Florida Keys. We enjoy snorkeling, boating and spending relax time here and now we can't wait to share our home with you.

Why they chose this property

We travel many times to the Florida Keys and always had the dream to buy a property here. We went to visit a friend in Marathon in a quiet peaceful neighborhood on Morton Street and fall in love with the area and decided to look for a vacation home in paradise. Marathon was just perfect because is closer to the larger beaches in the Keys Bahia Honda and Sombrero Beach. Its also closer for a day trip to Key West.

What makes this property unique

When be found this house we knew it was the perfect spot. The breathtaking open water views of the Gulf of Mexico, watching the sunset, swimming in the pool, waking in the long dock while discovering the sea life. It is just AMAZING!
