Great location and absolutely amazing views. The house was a little dated but it didn’t affect our vacation. However, beds could definitely use more comfortable mattresses and pillows. Communication with host was quick and pleasant. We also had a fabulous surprise in the refrigerator upon arrival—a key lime pie! I would consider this property again.

The house was nice and clean, beds were comfortable, and it had everything we needed (nice towels too, which is rare in a rental). We really enjoyed the pool and the sunsets were amazing! Location was great, not too far from some excellent restaurants. We loved our stay!

Perfect location

This property's location is perfect. We enjoyed the awesome sunsets and the marine wildlife. The house is a little dated compared to other properties we have stayed at but it was very clean and we had an awesome time using the pool and hottub with a beautiful view of the Gulf. I would definitely recommend this property.

Mary and Claire were wonderful! They were both very accommodating and lovely. We loved the house and the view. Saw dolphins and enjoyed many sunsets from the awesome pool. Only a quick bike ride to stores. Downstairs is a private extra room which was nice for guests. Would love to stay again.

Perfect for families

Great pool, hot tub, boat dock with great water access. Supermarkets, shops, fast food local. Close enough to Islamorada without all the craziness and an hour from Key West. Plenty to do locally too. House was clean, fit our needs.

Great stay, great location, great host

We had a great stay in marathon, highly recommend for families. Exceptional location. Fourth bedroom is detached, great for teens, perhaps not as much so for smaller kids. Worked out for us great. Mary the host is fantastic.

25th Anniversary stay

Property was great. We have stayed in many properties over the past 20 years and Mary is the best property manager we have ever dealt with in the Keys. We will be back.

Amazing stay

Our family of 6 came down for a week’s stay. We had such an amazing time! Property was immaculate and beds were comfortable. Could’ve stayed all week without leaving. Hot tub and pool were just the perfect mix. We had a blast fishing and snorkeling from the dock. Mary and Claire were awesome hosts! Will be back!

Family Keys Trip

This was the perfect house to enjoy a trip to the keys with family. I woke up each morning looking out at the ocean. You can fish as the sun rises, go in and eat breakfast, then go out and snorkel. The house location is perfect for a day trip to Key West and many state parks. You could easily relax, fish, and snorkel right off the dock all week and never need to leave.

Fabulous view

The house was clean and comfortable for all six of us, with everything you need to enjoy Marathon and the surrounding keys. We also enjoyed the dock, pool and hot tub; especially, after boating all day. You need to see the sunsets! Phenomenal!

Awesome Marathon Vacation

The house was exactly as advertised and all communications with the property manager were timely and cordial. Beautiful waterfront home with a heated pool (perfect temperature for weather in the 60’s and 70’s, a covered, 4-person hot tub (a perfect 104 degrees), and all of the amenities that we would possibly need. Next time we will rent a boat because the dock is perfect. Great location, too. We will be back!

Location! Location! Location!

Overall we had a great time and the house was nice. You can't beat the location with great sunset view. The pool, hot tub, and dock were very convenient and very much fun. The house was clean but needs some updating.... especially the kitchen. With that said, we had a fantastic time and were not disappointed. It's a great house.

Marathon Gulf Front Gem

Our family and friends had a great trip. The house is located in an unbeatable location directly on the open gulf. Only slightly critical feedback would be that the kitchen could use a little bit of an update. But I would absolutely return to this beautiful property! Pool and jacuzzi were a big hit! Mary was very very easy to communicate with and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for everything

Family Favorite!

We have stayed in many vacation rentals but our family agreed this was our favorite! The house is comfortable and well supplied with towels and kitchenware. As with many rentals, it has a little wear and tear, but it is very well maintained. The outdoor space is spectacular. I don’t know if we can ever be satisfied with canal front houses after being waterfront. The sunsets are fantastic!
