Had an amazing time!! Spent 9 days with 3 young kids and 2 teens and my in laws, and my husband. There was plenty to do. it accommodated all of us comfortably and the games and pool plus all the fish and sea life right off the dock was more than enough to keep them busy and happy! They saw lobsters fish sting rays and even a nurse shark without even leaving the dock! Since we had a boat we were able to make quick trips to the sandbars right off the other side of the cut to swim as well. We had no problems with check in everything was nice and ready for us to start enjoying ourselves as soon as we arrived. We will definitely be back!

Very disappointing

Owner was still cleaning when we arrived. The bathroom floors were left filthy. House was over 85 degrees. She said that happens every afternoon. Dock has rotting wood with screws popping up half an inch which is dangerous. Previous renters left a urine soaked diaper in the lower kitchen cabinet which the owner “cleaner” didn’t find but we did. It was disgusting! We believe they were leaving a statement of the condition they also found. We also found cockroaches and palmetto bugs inside the house and iguana were in the screened porch with holes through the screen.

Cute key west home

The property was as listed. Older yes but cute. Fishing with the dock there was excellent. AC did struggle to keep the home cool. Pool was great as well. Plenty of shopping and restaurants need by. All in all my family enjoyed it for the week we stayed.

This was a great vacation space.

Residing on the channel, this place had everything that we wanted. Spacious living areas, screened porch, waterside deck and a small pool to lounge in and complimentary Wi-Fi made the stay wonderful. We will definitely be returning.

Great little place. Looooved the dock. Spent most of my time with a line in the water. Kids loved swimming and playing in the splash pool and the ocean right off the dock. The location was perfect. Middle of there keys with lots to do in either direction.

Annual Keys Trip

The home was better than the listing photos. We had a wonderful stay with good communication from the owner. The dock was one of the best features (docked a 30 ft boat with no problems) and beautiful sea life and interesting critters were all around. Fishing from the dock was great. We enjoyed the home being one story and it felt very relaxed. It is an older home but a little gem and the location on land and sea are fantastic! The dipper pool was refreshing in the heat! Don’t sweat the small stuff and have some fun!

Great place for a family vacation

We booked this home for the week school let out. We wanted a family vacation in a home that was close to everything, and this did not disappoint. We found this home to be close to restaurants and right across Vaca Cut from the local aquarium (highly recommended!) The home was spacious and clean. It has a bait freezer in the laundry area, which is convenient. New TV's in all the rooms. The home was tidy and everything we expected. Thank you Cindy, we will definitely be back next year!

Alot to be desired. Definitely needs some updates.

Location was great. House was not very clean at all and beds were very uncomfortable. I think that a newspaper would make a better pillow. For the price it really was not worth it in my opinion. Pay a professional cleaning company or something.

Beautiful location

We truly enjoyed our stay ! The property could use some exterior maintenance the sliding glass door that’s silver didn’t lock, parts of the deck are in need of replacing , we had to fill the pool each day w water (it lost approximately a foot of water a day), grill we never used it as it had no bottom catch tray left. Beds were very comfortable we had plenty of pillows and linens . There were only 1/2 roll of toilet paper in each bathroom so we had to purchase more . We would stay again just think a little TLC is required!

Place needs a good cleaning and fixing up. Dirty and disgusting

Very old run down place. Pier is in need of overhaul. Wasn’t safe to even walk on. When the current ran the whole pier shakes. The inside of the house looked like it was never cleaned before we got there. Dishwasher doesn’t work and the refrigerator and microwave are disgusting How this place has a 4+ rating is a mystery.

Great location

2nd stay at this location. First was in 2021. Incredible location on the Vaca cut. We had a 26’ boat and the dock handled it in every tide cycle. No problem. Abundant sea life all times of day around the dock. Manatees daily, rays, sharks, tarpon, and lots of lobster at night. We were a party of 10 so, the house was a little tight at times. We spent most of our time outdoors so it wasn’t a big problem. Everything you’ll need is close by. Bait shop within walking distance just up the street. Gas, groceries, restaurants, ice all 10 minutes or less. Owner is extremely communicative and accommodating. Marathon is beautiful. Great stay!

Unsanitary house . Not worth the money

The good thing about the house is the location and the fishing is great. However the accommodation was really disappointing, everything was deteriorated and old . As soon as we walk in we smelled dirty . We all were afraid to touch anything because everything was covered in grime. Kitchen drawers and cabinets full of crumbs . My daughter found pieces of old acrylic nails on the floor . We spent our first day cleanning and washing all the bed sheets. Everything inside the house was disgusting. We came all away from north Carolina to have a good vacation but not happened our money was thrown away. Worst vacation ever.

Great location with lots of potential

We stay in Key Colony every year and were really excited about staying right on the Vaca cut this year. It was very nice and convenient for boating, however the house itself left a lot to be desired. Classic run down keys bunker house that needs A LOT of work. Cockroaches, ants and other friends hung out with us during our entire stay. The air conditioner is undersized and couldn't cool the house below 82 degrees during the day, so we were all uncomfortable. We spent the first day we were there cleaning. Our feet were black from all the dirt when we arrived. My wife went to the store to purchase cleaning supplies and got it to a point where it was manageable for our stay. Fun way to spend vacation, right? The propane tanks were empty so we had to take one to get filled before we could cook for our kids when they were really hungry. Internet is extremely slow and almost unusable The day we checked out we were accused of taking the kayaks by the owner. Which we didn't touch the entire time we were there, and after sending my friend by it was determined that the kayak rental company just came to pick them up. Odd. Hopefully this house gets a deep clean and the air conditioner replaced so people can enjoy the great location!

Disgusting - Filthy ***read before making your decision

Easy access between the Gulf and the Atlantic is the only plus. It is definitely older and needs a lot of TLC, updates and landscaping or a gardener. There is a lot of boat traffic and airplane traffic. House was disgustingly dirty upon arrival! We had to take time from our vacation to clean the house. It looked as if it was not cleaned before our arrival, the kitchen floor was filthy. We swept, vacuumed and mopped the floors, cleaned the bathrooms, washed bathroom rugs (very disgusting) & washed bedding. We weren't sure the bedding was clean due to the uncleanliness of the house. Take a look at the master bedroom - bed skirt; it will gross you out. The bathroom floors, walls & doors are very disgusting. Looks like feces on the door in the main bathroom. The front doors of the appliances were disgusting. Cannot see the temperature settings on the stove knobs. The cookware is unsafe to use with it being non-stick cookware that is scratched up exposing the chemicals of the non-stick covering. The couch in the dining room is old, stained and filthy, couldn't trust to sit on it without fear of some sort of bug bite. Oh, by the way, watch your step for cockroaches! The pool was so cold, we couldn't enjoy it. Why advertise a pool if it's not going to heated in the winter months? The bottom of BBQ is rusted out and by-the-way, the coconut rats love the inside of the BBQ. Watch your step on deck, nails & screws! Not a premier property! So much to say, not enough characters allowed.

Very Unsanitary Conditions, owner only makes excuses. Our money was thrown away. UNPLEASANT!!!

Review This place was so disgusting and filthy the moment we grabbed the door knob to go inside when we arrived. Floors, appliances in kitchen, bathrooms, light switches, fixtures, cabinets, everything inside and out. This place has obviously not been cleaned in a long long time. It’s pointless to describe because EVERYTHING was so very nasty. Heed the reviews! Not to mention her business license had expired. The owner only makes excuses when she returns the call. She does not care! It was so bad that this needs to be reported to the Health Department and shut down. We totally waisted our money on this vacation with our kids and grandmother. Huge inconvenience and Very Unpleasant! We all were afraid to touch anything or set our belongings down or just sit in a chair or our beds because everything was covered in a stickiness and grime. Old food in the already nasty refrigerator, dried up sausage patty in the toaster oven filled with crumbs, drawers and cabinets full of crumbs, not to mention the untidyness of the untensils. Things were just randomly thrown in the closets, any corners, and the sides of the house. We’ve only seen college dorms this bad. We were scared to use anything unless we washed it first. It was disgusting! The amount of cleaning that needed to be done would take many hours for 2 or 3 able bodied people. She only called back because we had to constantly call her phone, which ended up her only giving excuses and trying not to do anything at all. Finally she sent a neighbor, an almost elderly gentleman, that wanted to try and help. Very nice fellow. He clearly said he is not a handyman by any means and did not have many tools. He said, “I don’t know what she expects me to do, I basically don’t know a screwdriver from a wrench”. It was far too much work and he was clearly not able enough to do this extent of work and we felt bad for him to even try. He was kind enough to loan us a mop because we could not stand sticking to the floor anymore. We would have clearly went to another place but that time of year everything is booked months in advance. We were stuck and had no more money to afford other accommodations at the rate of the cost that we paid for this house for the week. We just made the best of it because it was ruining our vacation. Even at the end the owner complained to us that she couldn’t find a remote. None of the remotes worked, they either had no batteries at all in them or they were dead.

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia

Host profile image
I am a native Floridian and have come to Marathon for 20 years to dive. I have owned vacation rentals since 2001 to have a place to boat and dive.

Why they chose this property

I have vacationed in Marathon for 30 years staying in hotels. I decided to buy my first vacation home in 2001. Having a kitchen and barbeque grill to prepare fresh catch is so valuable. Also, having private dockage is a must. The ability to leave gear on the boat is such a plus and so nice not paying a daily dockage fee at a hotel.

What makes this property unique

The home is on open water, so fishing is good. Snapper are plentiful and a grouper head on the line at dusk can catch a shark. Snorkeling for lobster at slack tide in the nearby seawalls can produce dinner.

Boats available for rent. Inquire with owner.
