This property has it all ! Great location for fishing both the Gulf and Atlantic side. Plenty of dock space with water and electric and fish cleaning table. The house is clean with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms and a pullout couch to sleep our family of 5 comfortably. The downstairs area is great with the pool, covered entertaining area with pool table, dart board and ring hook game to keep everyone happy during those afternoon rain showers. We had a great time and look forward to staying here again. There also is a bait freezer and a nice big Weber grill. The big ice maker down stairs was not working that was the only thing that was wrong. I highly recommend this property and host!
My husband and I and our pup had a great time at Fisherman’s paradise. The pool was very nice and clean and the house itself was spotless. Located in a quiet safe neighborhood but literally all that we needed was within 10 minutes of the house. Nancy was an awesome very responsive and friendly host. The only thing we missed was having our own boat there. Also highly recommend going to have a meal or get fresh fish from this place Brutus. Right around the corner and was the best meal we had!
This was a perfect stay for my family! The house was very clean, spacious, and the outdoor space around the pool was great! Will be back again for sure!
The family decided we wanted to spend the holidays in the Florida Keys, but were unsure where to stay. Looking at all the options we settled on Marathon and this house was everything we were looking for. The heat pool was definitely the highlight of our stay. Plenty of room for 4 adults and our family dog. The location was close enough to restaurants, shops and stores that everything seemed 5-10 minutes away, but still far enough off the main track that we felt like we had the peace and quite we needed to disconnect and relax. Don't know if/when we'll be back in the keys, but we hope this house will be available when we go!
We rented a boat for a week and it was nice to have dockage and ice maker for the cooler. The pool was wonderful. Nancy was responsive to our needs. We enjoyed our stay.
Property was very clean, centrally located to all attractions and beaches in Marathon. Perfect for our family vacation of five (four adults one 21 month old child). Bedrooms and bathrooms are a nice size. Pool is very nice and the outdoor area with a nice table, pool table and dart board. We really enjoyed our family vacation and the stay at this property.
This was our second stay at Fishermans Paradise, and wont be the last. The house is wonderful, the pool is wonderful, and access to bay and ocean is excellent. The ice maker is a huge plus. Thanks Nancy for a great trip again!
This vacation rental in Marathon was so perfect, I’m convinced it was designed by Jimmy Buffett and Poseidon during happy hour.The house? Immaculate. Spacious. Stocked. We walked in and immediately thought, “Yup, we’re not leaving.” I’ve stayed in hotels that didn’t have pillows this nice. The location? Smack in the middle of paradise. Water so close, I almost cast a line from the living room. (Wife wasn’t thrilled.)We booked offshore fishing and absolutely crushed it. Mahi everywhere. At one point I wasn’t sure if I was reeling in a fish or just pulling the boat closer to the buffet. Even the fish were cooperative—must’ve heard how great the kitchen was back at the rental.The neighbors? Legends. Friendly and laid-backBest part? Everything just worked. No weird smells. No broken doorknobs. No mystery switches. Just good vibes, big fish, and enough frozen drinks to forget what day it was.Already planning our return. If you rent this place, please treat it well… we’re basically co-parents now.
We have been coming to the keys for many years and this by far has been our favorite home to stay in! We loved having the ice maker at the property, there is plenty of parking, the home was clean and had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting outside on the porch and under the house, the pool was perfect to cool off in after a day of fishing. The owners are very nice, we can’t wait to go back!
The place was very clean, and Nancy has the home setup very well for us to explore the keys. The canal/boat dock, was easy to access, and setup for both our boat, and our kayaks. The pool was such a treat, and the pool table also a blast.
Thanks Nancy
The property was perfect for our stay in Marathon. It was located right in the middle of all the activities (Turtle Hospital, Snorkeling and Fishing Charters). It had a beautiful pool, a canal teaming with fish and wildlife, a pool table in the shade for breaks from the pool. The airport activity was fun to watch. Inside was very spacious and had everything we needed for the week.
Thank you Nancy for accommodating us.
Everything was great! Perfect place for my husband, son and I.
Very clean and charming.
We hope to return soon.
Sincerely,
Carrie
Great location, ice machine is a huge plus if you are bringing a boat to fish. We will be trying to book this house next year for our 2 weeks in the keys. Owners were very nice and helpful. I have zero complaints.
We enjoyed renting this home. There are a few things that should be done to the property for future renters such as putting in blackout shades in the bedrooms and being able to produce enough hot water for more than 1-2 people taking a shower. Overall, we enjoyed the layout and the open space under the house. Owners were very responsive when we needed anything.
It took some convincing to my wife to stay on a lagoon because she wanted privacy. The hedges gave us that. The outside setup with the heated pool, pool table and darts is why we want to stay here again. Very convenient to town and Key West. Nancy was very pleasant and responsive. Perfect for 2 couples.
We came down with another couple to celebrate both of our 10 year anniversaries. This place was beautiful. It was everything described and more. Very clean, comfortable beds, all amenities you could possibly need. We brought our center console boat down to do some fishing and did great after talking to the neighbor (property owner) and he gave us some great pointers. They are so friendly and helpful. We are already talking about our next trip!
We had an incredible stay at this Vrbo property! From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this place was designed with guests' comfort and convenience in mind. The ice machine was a game-changer, ensuring we had a steady supply of ice for our drinks and cooler. The bait freezer was a fantastic bonus, making our fishing trips hassle-free. And the pool? Simply outstanding! It was crystal clear, well-maintained, and perfect for relaxing after a day of activities. The property was immaculate, the amenities were top-notch, and the overall experience was truly exceptional. I highly recommend this Vrbo for anyone looking for a perfect getaway!
Truly a home-away-from-home! The check-in process was stream-less and so efficient. The host was immediately available by email and text for questions about the property and area. The amazing heated pool was a HUGE bonus. The topper on the cake was the canal access to the Gulf of Mexico- literally 2 minutes by boat. And the public launch was less than a mile from the house and a quick 10-15 mins up the coast directly to the back door. Lots of premium extras too- the electric hook up for the boat and an amazing commercial ice maker for your fresh catch or to keep food cold on the boat. Absolutely amazing stay!
