This is our second time staying. We yet again had a wonderful time and wanted for nothing. Fully stocked kitchen, lots of beach and water toys (beach tents, beach wagon, kayaks, floats, life jackets for all sizes, coolers, etc. We don’t have little babies any more but they have a closet full of baby stuff to make your stay easier if you’re traveling with a baby. The space is vast so there’s spots to get away from the group and also plenty of places for kids to run around and play. The house is a little older, so it’s not going to be a modern fancy FL home, but we prefer it that way. It truly feels like home, not a house. My only recommendation is that a few of the boards on the wrap around porch probably need some attention soon as the feel soft when you step on them. Typical wear and tear for a house on the salt water, of course. Thank you again for a wonderful stay and being a great and responsive host. We will be back!

So much to do.

Dolphins next door, pool, and a private kept us entertained. Lots of gathering places in the house. Restaurant & bar next door along with kitchen space for cooking local seafood.

Dolphin View

The description of the property is accurate. And as someone else mentioned in their review, you never have to leave the property. There is everything you can think of here to use and many kids toys. As far as owner communication goes, I would give them 6 starts if possible. They are extremely helpful and responsive for any question you would have.

Great house for kids

This house was amazing. We could have had a rich, full vacation without ever leaving the property. There are indoor and outdoor toys, kayaks, paddle boards, books, bikes, iguana sightings, games, and a perfectly-sized pool. The views are phenomenal and being able to see the dolphins is such a treat. The house was very clean, the kitchen well-equipped, and Kim and Bob had everything available that you could need, even family items like a stroller, a high chair, and a portable crib. They were available to answer all of our questions.

Has everything you need!

We visited this beautiful property in early May 2025. Our part consisted of two couples and two kids, 3 and 5. We wanted for nothing during our stay! The property is big and feels very private, which we loved. That’s incredibly rare in the Keys! We thoroughly enjoyed the wrap around porch and the multiple seating options around the house. The pool is perfection, and we loved that it was gated for extra security for the kids. There’s sooo many toys for kids, including beach toys. The amount of kayaks and paddle boards is incredible, even though we only used one tandem kayak. For larger parties, this option is amazing. The view is unreal, and you can watch the sunsets from the comfort of the private dock (another rare find in the Keys). We brought a 22ft skiff and were able to put in just down the street from where we were staying and dock it at the dock. The water levels do get low, but if your boat floats skinny, it’s no issue. We spent the majority of our time outside, either boating, kayaking, swimming in the pool or enjoying the shade and breeze under the house. But inside is also so nice. 5 bedrooms! The beds, we all agreed, were so comfortable! The kitchen is incredibly well-stocked. There’s a Publix about 15 minutes away, so groceries and cooking in were very easy. The restaurant that neighbors the property was also very good. We throughly enjoyed our time here and are already discussing the next time we can return.

About the host

Host profile image


Bob and I looked for many years for a home in Marathon. When we took one look at this house and property, we knew this was it. The private yard and waterfront are just what we wanted. Oh, and the Dolphins next store love, love, love them.
For now, we have open up our house for a vacation rental until we can hopefully one day retire and also enjoy our self. Please treat it as it is your own and thank you for considering us.
Sincerely
Dolphin View
