This house is even more beautiful than the pictures show, especially the outdoor area! The little grotto by the pool is just charming and everything is decorated so well. Inside, the kitchen is the best stocked kitchen I have ever seen in a vacation rental property, with everything you could possibly need including an immersion blender! Paulo is very responsive to any questions or needs and made our visit easy.

Another amazing stay!

This is the second time we have stayed here and it was just as great as the last. The house and grounds are always so clean and well kept. We have rented a boat both times and docked it out back. It is such a convenient place to boat from and the dock is easy to get in and out of. Thanks again for such a wonderful stay!

Marathon get away

Property was very neat and clean, there were clear instructions on the fridge regarding garbage, recycle bins and fish cleaning and storage, this was helpful. The home was so cutely decorated it really gave me that beach vacation vibe. The location was perfect, close enough to walk or bike to many local restaurants or stores. Overall, I would go back to stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Paulo Oliveira

Host profile image
I am an engineer and live in Lake Worth, Florida.
We love this house and it is a very special place for my wife and I.

Why they chose this property

We made trips to the Bahamas every summer for many years until we rented a house in Marathon and trailer our boat down for two weeks in 2015. We really love the area and got all exited to own a property there. We felt in love with this home the first time we saw it and purchase it in 2016. It has beem our paradise since.
The best place to relax, fishing or just appreciate the wonderful water view.

What makes this property unique

Stilt home with an open water view to the horizon and located close to the 7 mile bridge, no matter which way the wind blows, most days you can find a place to fish. The bridge, one of the very best "fishing holes" is five minutes from the dock. The Gulf is your front yard & the Ocean is just around the corner.
