Wonderful Unique family vacation!

This was such a memorable family vacation for us! We saw manatees off the dock and while swimming at Sombrero beach. Our kids loved the pool, kayaking, fishing and being up close with crabs and lizards. The house was perfect for us and is very well kept!! I highly recommend this vacation home!

Great House and Location

We rented this property for the start of lobster and loved its amenities. From the pool and outdoor speakers to ice maker and downstairs fridge/freezer, you have everything you need. Publix and Kmart are only a short 3 min walk away and since you are centrally located on marathon, local dive shops and marinas are close by as well.

Great stay in Marathon!

Our stay with our kids and grandchildren was wonderful . It was clean, cute, and very comfortable . We are glad that we did pay the extra charge for the heated pool. It was cooler since it was December . We loved the location also. There is a Publix right around the corner which came in very handy. Crystal even left us cute plates, napkins, and champagne for New Years Eve! We would highly recommend this property !

Extremely clean and stocked with anything you might need.

This was our second spring break that we have spent in Marathon. We loved every minute of it! Having stayed at a similar property last year, we thought we knew what to expect. However, this house was even better. The refrigerator and ice maker located out by the pool was so nice. We also really enjoyed the paddle boards and kayak. The first day we were there we even had a visit from a manatee. So amazing! We are already talking about booking again for next year.

Gorgeous house with every amenity you can imagine!

My family of 6 enjoyed a fantastic week at Keepin' It Reel for Spring Break 2019. The house is new and well decorated and we couldn't have been more comfortable. What was really exceptional to us, was how fun the house was and how Manuel and Ariana have provided everything renters might need at the house. They had paddle boards and a kayak that we used every morning in the canal, brand new life jackets in multiple sizes, bikes and helmets, tons of pool toys and beach chairs/umbrella/toys, fishing equipment, and more beach towels and linens than you'll need. Finally, the location of the house is great. In the center of it all in Marathon, a very short walk to the grocery store, and located on a beautiful canal. We had a lovely stay and hope to return!!

Perfectly appointed vacation home

We had a great time at "Keepin it Reel". The house had everything we needed for the week. Everyone room was well supplied, kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms etc. The pool area was fantastic, lots of chairs, a dining area, refrigerator and TV. We enjoyed the paddle boards and kayak too. Walking to the grocery store and a few local restaurants was super convenient. We spent days in Key West and Key Largo, both convenient drives. My favorite days were the ones spent relaxing at the house, on the screened in porch or in the pool. One note, the beaches of the Keys are heavy with seaweed and Sombero Beach down the road was under some construction at the time of our visit. The pool or time out on a boat was a much nicer option.

Beautiful waterfront home with all amenities needed for vacation week

The Keepin It Reel House was amazing. I and 8 others came to Marathon for our annual fishing trip, we were all able to sleep comfortably in the house. House was very clean and had plenty of towels and bedding for all. We utilized the kayak, paddle boards and bikes. We felt there was enough cooking equipment and the propane was full for the grill and the outside TV was great. Really was close to everything we wanted. Ariana was more than accommodating to our needs. The location is perfect we were able to get to all our fishing spots with ease and we were even able to do some snorkeling at the three-mile reef. We will be returning in the future. One of the most memorable fishing trips to date. Book your stay here.... you won't be disappointed!!!

The Perfect Place

We had 5 adults on our vacation. This house was comfortable enough for us to all have our own space. Full kitchen with everything you need including dishwasher/washing machine soaps, plenty of dishes to cook any type meal, 2 refrigerators, ice machine and more. My husband and I stayed in the master suite upstairs. It was well appointed and very specious. Loved the USB ports and plugs in the nightstands for charging electronics. The outside area is amazing for hanging out. Plenty of lounge chairs and a full dining room size table. This house is at the end of the canal so we had an extra feeling of privacy. It is walking distance to Publix as well. We absolutely loved this place. Ariana checked on us often to ensure we had everything we needed. She was very responsive and gracious. Thank you for the PERFECT PLACE!

Paradise Found

First off, the property manager Crystal is a joy to work with. Very easy to communicate with and takes pride in her job. It's clearly visible from the moment you walk inside. The home is dreamy. Gorgeous layout. Right on a quiet, dead end canal. Vacant lot next door. Plenty of space to stretch out and every pot and pan, grill, and Pool toy a person could ask for. TVs in every room, including the outside porch area. Great outdoor fridge and ice machine, with a bait freezer near by. The location is a gem with publix, walgreens, sandals, Winn Dixie, as well as 2 liquor stores......all within a 2 minute walk. Plenty of parking. Being pet friendly made it even better. Unit is quiet, even with neighbors next door. Our family loved in and have already requested it for same time next year.

Perfect vacation home and great location!

Keepin' it Reel in Marathon was a fabulous home away from home. The owners provide everything that is needed for a great vacation. A couple of small issues came up during our visit and the owners took care of them immediately. The townhome was very private and there was plenty of room for all 8 adults. And the unit was perfect for everyone to have some privacy. While the area is still recovering from the 2017 Hurricane there is plenty to do. We enjoyed the daily visits from the Iguana's that live in the canal behind the unit. Bike riding is a must; you don't even need your car to go to Crane Point Museum/Nature Center or the Beach. And if you are lucky, you can see the local turtle hospital releasing a rehabilitated turtle during your stay. Publix and Kmart are also within walking distance. And the nice guys at the Air Museum even invited us to their Saturday morning pancake breakfast. Key West is only 50 miles away but with all the attractions in Marathon, we only made it there 1 day. We would definitely stay here again. Stacey Smith

Loved Keepin it Real

We’ve been lobstering mini season for several years but stayed in hotels. This was the perfect location for our group of friends and teens. We loved the fridge and freezer downstairs and the outdoor grill. We took turns cooking on grill and kitchen. It was a dream to stay here. There was enough space for 9 of us without being on top of each other. I loved the master bath and bedroom and the view of my boat on the dock! My favorite thing was the pool. After staying in hotels it’s so great to have your own pool! We will be back every year. Thanks Crystal.
