Great vacation, house was as pictured in listing. To our surprise it actually has two king beds instead of just one like we were expecting. The only negative thing I can really say is the grill and flat top outside were in pretty bad shape

Great Family Vacation House

This is a beautiful beach house that felt like home away from home. It’s was beautifully decorated, clean and comfy. We especially loved all the attention to details like plenty of umbrellas at the pool and nice seating on the upstairs patio. Great view of the canal and close the lots of fun things.

Nice place to stay

Home was clean and comfortable. Really appreciated the ample parking, pool (although a little too warm), boat dock, and convenient location for groceries. Jay was always quick to respond. Would be happy to stay here again.

Nice property with plenty of room for our group of seven. Lots of fun time relaxing around the pool. We saw manatee almost every day as well as tarpon and other fun wildlife. Our host was responsive and handled any issues in a timely manner.

Perfect island vacation

Fishing off the dock, swimming in the pool, short distance to beach and all amenities! This is a fantastic location for a relaxing, fun vacation to the Keys. Communication with the owner was prompt and great. Even went above and beyond by mailing a forgotten bag to us cross-country after check-out. Great all around!

Family Fun

The location and all the amenities that this house provided was awesome. Jay was great to deal with and communication was easy. We brought our boat so having the dock right out back made it perfect. The property was spacious, there was six adults and three infants and we had plenty of room.

Great location

Beautiful area with lots to do. Overall we enjoyed the home and it fit our 4 adults and 4 children (ages 8-12) with plenty of room. Pool was great to keep cool and we did plenty of fishing off the dock. The house has been a little used and abused as some rentals do. The pictures make it appear a little nicer than in person. I’d recommend some better quality bedding/sheets and pool towels.

Decent spot for the money

The place was not clean at all when we showed up. My wife spent the first hour cleaning. Propane was empty, grass was high and not manicured, decor was broken. Host was great! Jay was very responsive and actually bought us all pizza one night bc of our inconvenience. Conveniently located for boating/fishing/ access to everything you’d want to do in Marathon. Could be very nice with a little attention to the yard and a deep cleaning. Dock was nice.

Great home in a great location

We stayed for a week in Marathon at this beautiful 4 bedroom home. Location: The location of the home is really perfect. It sits close enough to the main road that you can walk to the grocery store and far enough away that you dont hear the traffic. Its also on a nice walking path that leads you to Sombrero Beach. We also loved that the drive to Key West was only about an hour or so.Outdoor area: We spent a large majority of our time at the house enjoying the beautiful outdoor space. There is a nice deck off of the main living space. Underneath there is a nice shaded area if you need a break from the sun. There is also a nice heated pool, deck chairs, and a hammock. And you get to enjoy this space while watvhing the boats go by on the canal. Also got to see some manatees lounnging in the water.Indoor space: The indoor area was perfect for us. There is a bedroom and bathroom downstairs and then 3 bedrooms and 2 baths upstairs. The kitchen was nice and had everything we could possibly need. Overall this is a fantastic property and I highly recommend staying here if your travels bring you to Marathon. (I did not mention it above but the hosts were fantastic as well).

This was our first trip to The Keys, and we had a fabulous trip. We had a total of eight adults and a six month old, and had plenty of space. The rooms and closets were spacious. The room with the bunkbeds is smaller than the others. but it worked just fine for us. The house had new appliances and a fully stocked kitchen. The neighborhood was quiet, but extremely close to stores if you need to grab some things. There is a Publix right around the corner. I would most definitely stay at Escape to Marathon again.

Sombrero Getaway

Property had plenty of room for our group. It does need some sprucing up especially outside space which has accumulated a lot of items that have been left by previous vacationers. The grill and flattop need attention. Enjoyed our stay but property needs some work.

Great Place for a Big Group

We took a little vacation to the keys with our parents and adult children. We had 10 adults ranging in age from 24 to 80 and fit comfortably. This property is close to shops and very relaxing with the pool and canal. We were able to park our boat right outside of the yard and house was equipped with a cleaning table and freezer for our catch. A drawback was that it took 40 minutes to get through the canal out to sea, but we knew this before we rented and I believe the owner has priced this rental with that in mind. We did not use the BBQs as they had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. Otherwise, our stay was great and very relaxing!
