Very comfortable. Everything you need for a stay. Close to everything. Debbie and Beth were super helpful. Beds were comfortable. Backyard with pool, deck and grill wonderful. Airport near by was busy and alittle noisy. Parking good. There were barking dogs in the neighborhood so just be aware during the day. Wasn't a nightime issue. Had a great relaxing time.

Everything was great. The house was in great condition and well stocked. The pool and patio area were wonderful and had a lot of use throughout the week. Michelle was very helpful with suggestions and information. The little extras, like fresh fruit water on arrival and things like hand soap, dish soap, etc. were really appreciated and not something we have had before during many VRBO rentals. Would definitely stay here again.

Great location

Overall, we had a great time at the property. The outdoor space and screened in area were our favorites. The kids loved the TV and lounging area area(screened in), while the adults liked the outdoor space. There was plenty of room for 8 people. In addition, the variety of outdoor equipment to use was fun-hammocks, loungers, chairs, pool, kayaks, fish cleaning station, and opportunity to be shaded or in the sun. We rented a boat- the canal and dock space were easily accessible.

FL Keys here we come!

The house was in excellent condition, clean and well supplied with everything would could need. The twin bed did not have a quilt on it, but it did not matter to us. The kids could care less. Plenty of space for everyone, the extra apartment was perfect. The pool was a big plus for the boys. My older kids loved the tiki bar, spent a lot of time there in the evenings. Would love to go back.

Hurricane Helene

We booked this vacation 15 months in advanced and couldn't wait. We checked in Saturday evening and unfortunately had to check-out first thing Tuesday morning, thanks to Hurricane Helene. We were heart broken we only had a 2/7day vacation but enjoyed the house and made the best out of the two days we got. We were a bit disappointed the property manager never got back with us when we reached out to her about the TV not working (we found the living room remote was in the bedroom and the bedroom remote was missing) and the grill being out of propane (when we got our catch prepared to grill) However, we made do and cooked our catch on the stove top. We loved the pool and enjoyed regardless. We were very thankful to be with our family an be able to bring our 4 legged babies.

Annual Family Vacation

This home was perfect for our family of 4 adults, 1 teenager and 2 pups! We absolutely loved the area out back. Semi private oasis with a pool, tiki bar, dock for our boat and jet skis and watching a football game in the screened in area. Home was very comfortable. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. I did bring my own instant pot for some of our own meals but there was a crockpot there. If I had to make a suggestion I would say the other 2 bedrooms need TVs but that was not really an issue for us. We loved this home and will most likely look to rent it again next year.

We will return.

This was our best rental so far in the Keys. Very well maintained and stocked place. Having a pool was wonderful. Any issues we had were taken care of very quickly as well as any inquiries with management. The only negative I could have and that is not fault of the property is, due to a past hurricane the channel leading out to the open water can be very shallow during low tide. Most boats should be on a full plane when exiting the canal. Hopefully someday this area will be dredged. I have to say again this is a great place and I will hopefully be returning next year.

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing!

If you’re complaining about anything at this home then you’re just being picky! House was well appointed, great location, amazing backyard and all the comforts of home! Beth was great to speak with, provided great knowledge of the area, and was easily available! I would just note for boaters to know your tide tables as the water gets low outside of the channel, however, there are multiple large boats that reside in the channel. Not a complaint at all but just something to note for anyone bringing a boat that may have higher draft requirements than others.

Fabulous Keys Getaway!

Marathon is a great central location for visiting the Keys, and this property was the perfect landing spot at the end of our busy days of adventuring. A beautiful, spacious, and inviting home in a quiet, lovely neighborhood - not to mention helpful amenities and an amazing patio/dock/pool/hammock setup - this property was exactly what we wanted. We arrived late our first night, and check-in was blessedly simple! Beth sent us the code in advance, we let ourselves in, and were in bed within the hour...which was marvelous since we'd been traveling all evening. The beds were comfortable, and the living room was inviting. Our kids loved having a pool to themselves as we soaked up the sun and decided on the day's activities while fishing off the dock or lazing in a hammock. We couldn't have asked for a place more suited to our family. And any time a question came up, I had an answer from Beth in the app super quickly. We'd happily stay again!

Probably wont rent again

Needs an update. Property is worn and could have been cleaner, especially the downstairs apartment. Pool is small and was green more than clear. No heat on in the pool upon our arrival and even tho the manager had the pool people come turn the heat on the next day it was over 24 hours before we could actually get in. This is our 8th year of renting in Marathon and this was our least favorite place

Bad weather but still a great vaca w friends

Unfortunately no one can change the weather. We planned to do a lot of boating, but the wind and weather turned bad. However, we enjoyed a Key West day, a trip to Dolphin Research Center and being together at the house. The house was what we expected. The pool and the coffee maker & grill didn’t work properly on our Sat. arrival. However, the pool got fixed on Sunday. It was warm and very nice. The coffee maker got replaced on Monday. They ordered a new grill which was to be delivered by Wed but it never arrived. On Thurs we tried to contact both the host and the property manager. Finally we got a hold of someone and we picked up the new grill from Home Depo nearby. The grill is a nice one. Everything was comfortable! (The TV in the main living room had terrible sound- that may need to be replaced). We never mentioned that to the property manager- we left them a note w that info. We were able to use a portable speaker we had and then it was fine. The house location was close to Sombrero beach and was in a nice, decent area. We went for several walks in the area in-between rain storms. We had extra amenities we didn’t expect to have such as dishwasher det., laundry det., salt and pepper and games. We enjoyed the house. We struggled w communicating with the property manager and host. They could have done that better. Overall- we would recommend the house! We had a very good time!

Previous Reviews Inaccurate

Yearly we vacation in the Keys. After reading the reviews for the property we figured it was a winner. Upon arrival the house is very clean and organized. The down side is that not one piece of furniture is comfortable except the Master King bed and the Full/Twin in the 1st guest room. The other Queen size in the 2nd guest room is terribly sloped and a mattress topper was added I guess in hopes of making it better, not. The cushions on the sofabed fall in, because they are so old and you wind up sitting on the frame of the sofabed, it is dirty and the back is so upright you cannot get comfortable, same with the loveseat. The family room rug hasn't been cleaned for a while. The bar stools have cushions that look like they have good foam but then flatten to nothing. The dining room is fine. The sheets are not cotton so they are hot, the quilt covers were dirty. The master bathroom shower leaks, therefore there is mold/mildew at the bottom tiles. Both bathrooms have the small round toilet seats and the one in the Master rocks when you sit on it. There aren't any grab bars for someone who has had a hip replacement to feel secure. The curtain rods are falling out of the walls in the dining area, the paint has not even been touched up in years and wasn't even finished in a corner where they must have had a repair, there is a bulb missing in the kitchen and holes in the tiles in the bathrooms and kitchen probably for a repair, but have some love for a house and repair it so guests don't feel like they are living a in FIXER UPPER, which is exactly how we all felt. . At first glance you are like ok not so bad but after really living in it, we felt like we were ripped off. IN ADDITION THE POOL HAD FLOATING MOLD, which my 18yr and 16 yr old sons looked up because they were concerned about the floating "white stuff" while they were in it. They did respond quickly and send a pool person out to clean it, but the grossness of it all didn't make it inviting any longer. These are just a few issues and to some it might not seem like much but when you are spending money for something you think looks perfect from previous reviews you at least expect some comfort in the house. I have pictures of it all.
