About this property

Heart of Marathon with Gulf and Ocean access

Uniquely situated in the heart of Marathon, Unit B or 9922 is a 2 bedroom, 2 bath separate private home/villa/bungalow with its own private pool, BBQ, Gulf and Ocean access, free use of kayaks/paddle board, free dockage for up to 30 foot boat (for longer boats additional per foot charges may apply).

This unique resort type property looks like one big house from the front, but it is actually split into two separate and distinct vacation homes/villas/bungalows. Everything including the driveway are separate and distinct but equally apportioned.

This listing is for Unit B or 9922. Although both sides have the same size and similarly furnished, this Unit has a shower in the main bedroom bath and a shower/tub in the 2nd bathroom. Unit B pool is NOT heated.

Everything has been split in two so that two sets of quests may enjoy the resort in privacy. The swimming pool is divided into two separate pools by a waterfall bridge.
The lagoon and the ocean beyond the lagoon are of course open to all. (See photos).

The lagoon is one of the deepest in the Florida Keys with depths of 30 feet. It is home to turtles, tarpon, snook, snapper, nurse sharks and visiting dolphin and manatees.

Marathon
Not the cleaniest. Stove filthy, burnt at bottom, cooked a pizza and smoked up the whole house, contacted host, they asked if they could handle the next day. Next day came we seen the host multiple times (they live on the property) and never acknowledged us or did anything about the stove or the rest of the cleanliness. Dust bunnies in master bedroom and in hallway. A booger on the bathroom wall. Paper towels under tables to level, very tacky in my opinion. Didn't feel comfortable walking around in our bare feet. Master shower leaked, had to put 2 towels down for the water. Screen door was broken held up with a bungee cord which allowed a stray cat to try to gain entry into the residence. Also grates on the grill were rusted through so we could not use. After no communication with host and failing to correct issues we had to find other accommodations. Once contacted VRBO, host refused to refund. Would not recommend.

Nice location in large part of the inlet
We had a great time at the property. We liked the fact that it's on the "large" part of the inlet. Saw lots of fish/manatees which the family enjoyed and also easier to get a boat in and out as we aren't "all the time" boaters. Would stay here again. It is a duplex so the pool area can be joint with who is next door, but overall setup well (just important to know if you require dedicated space).
