About this property

Waterfront Private Home-7 BR, 6 Full BA, Pool, 80' Dock, Parking, Screened Porch

Welcome to 'Sombrero Sunset House' located in the heart of Sombrero Beach in Marathon, Florida! This prime waterfront location provides our guests everything they need to have a fantastic vacation in the Florida Keys. This is truly the one of the best locations in Marathon and it screams location, location, location!!! We love this home and want to share our little slice of paradise with you. As you will see, we have a unique and affordable waterfront home with 7 bedrooms, 6 full bathrooms and plenty of room to accommodate multiple families or larger groups. Licensed to sleep up to 16 guests, there are 6 bedrooms with King beds and 1 bedroom with two Twin beds. Each bedroom has Smart flatscreen TVs, ample closet space and new dressers to store your personal items such as luggage and clothing.

This home was tastefully updated in October 2021. The updates included a new metal roof, new interior and exterior paint, completely new interior furniture, including all bedroom sets, living room (3 sofas) and dining room table with 8 seats, new tiki hut, privacy trees between the neighboring property, new pea gravel driveway, new artwork, new hurricane sliders, new stove, new washer and dryer, new patio furniture with seating for 16.

The list of positive attributes for this home are plentiful. Some of the amenities include a private pool, 110' waterfront with about 80 foot of private dockage, ample parking for 6 or more vehicles plus 2 boat trailers and a very large and spacious back yard. There is plenty of room for all of your vehicles, boats, water toys and trailers. Additionally, the back yard is completely fenced in for privacy and there is a lot of seating areas for our guests to spread out and enjoy the outdoors. There are long water views from the back yard and clear unobstructed views of the golf course from the front. And for those who like sand between their toes, Sombrero Beach is only minutes away.

Attached to the back of the home is a large enclosed screened patio with two outdoor tables and seating for 16. The back yard has a huge tiki hut with seating for 8, 4 lounge chairs, 8 Adirondack chairs, and 2 separate outdoor tables. Our guests can soak up the sun by the pool or sit inside the screened/shaded patio and enjoy the ocean breeze. The community is extremely safe and you can take morning or evening walks along the golf course’s pedestrian pathway out front. There is also a large balcony off two of the upstairs bedrooms boasting even more privacy and beautiful water views. At night, you can sit by the water, look at the stars and enjoy the peaceful serenity that this property has to offer.

The kitchen fully stocked with a refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, toaster, blender, coffee maker utensils and cookware. Linens, bath towels and starter toiletries are provided along with a full-size washer and dryer.

If you play golf, all you need to do is walk out the front door onto one of the nicest golf courses in the Florida Keys. The golf facility also has multiple tennis courts and the City of Marathon has a free skate park nearby with basketball, baseball and tennis courts.

And let’s not forget the star of the show which is the ocean and water activities. For our boaters and fishermen, this home is only minutes away from the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. The fishing in Marathon is world class!!! From Mahi and Tuna to Sailfish and Grouper, the fishery is plentiful. You can fish, snorkel and dive within minutes of leaving the dock as the marine life and coral reefs are extraordinary. Manatees, snook, tarpon and even dolphins are often seen in the canal. Fishing off the dock is a ton of fun and the kids can catch fish all day long.

Further, there are many great waterfront restaurants in the immediate area along with creature comforts such as Publix, Walgreens, CVS, banks and gas stations. Additionally, this home is within minutes of several local attractions like the Dolphin Research Center, Aquarium Encounters, Turtle Hospital, Pigeon Key, the Seven Mile Bridge and Curry Hammock State Park.

For our adventurers, there are local Snorkel and Sunset cruise charters which take you to amazing nearby coral reefs such as Sombrero Light and Looe Key. Other local rental shops include kayaks, paddle boards, and bicycles.

Need Baby Gear? No need to pack bulky baby equipment anymore. Babyquip.com has you covered for everything you need like cribs, pack-n-plays, strollers, car seats, toys and more. They deliver, set-up and pick-up when you’re done.

Who likes extra charges? Not us!!! The daily rate you pay includes everything. No extra charge for heating the pool, extra persons or administrative fees. And don't forget that we are locals who fish and dive these waters all year round. We love giving advice and tips about fishing and snorkel spots to our guests.

We are in the vacation rental business so please take a look at our other house (Coco Plum Paradise Vrbo 2883296) if you need more room for friends and family. You can find us on FB by searching the name of the home. Our properties require a 7 day minimum stay and check-in/check-out is every Saturday. Security cameras on premises.

We invite you to make memories of a lifetime!!!

FAMILY VACATION

A perfect 3 generation family vacation. Everything you want steps from your back door. From swimming, to fishing, to grilling in the back yard, the home provided everything we could have wanted and more. The location was great, close to restaurants, shopping, and outdoor activities. Would highly recommend!

very nice family getaway

We had 3 generations stay here for a week and had a wonderful time. There was just enough bedrooms for everyone to have privacy and plenty of bathrooms also. Being on the canal was nice and the heated pool was a big hit with everyone. When I come back to Marathon I will stay here again

Family Vacation

We had a wonderful stay at this home. There were 13 of us who stayed here. The house worked perfect for us. Our favorite room was the screened in porch in the evenings. The kitchen has a lot of counter space for all our daily cooking Plenty of bathrooms to accommodate us all. Location was great for grocery store, things to do and taking the pontoon boat out. Already booked for next year!

Relaxing Quality Family time at its best

We had 15 family members stay in this home for a week and we were never on top of each other! There is plenty of room inside for everyone and the outside space is awesome too. We really enjoyed watching the kids swim in the pool while we enjoyed the breeze sitting under the cabana. The kids also had a great time fishing of the dock and watching the dolphins, tarpon, barracuda and manatees from the dock. We really hope to come back to this house again sometime soon. Thank You!

family trip 2024

This property is as described. Plenty of room for all of us. We each had our own rooms with plenty of seating in the common areas for everyone. The house needs a little TLC but overall did not effect our trip at all. We had a issue during our stay and the owner was very quick to respond and have it fixed. all in all was a great location and very spacious house. Would definitely stay again if we have a large group going. Jay thanks again for everything!

Fantastic stay in Marathon

Our family of 16 had a wonderful Keys adventure at this property. Everything was clean and spacious. Sleeping arrangements were ideal and everyone had their personal space. The kitchen and dining area were perfect for family dinners. The pool was well maintained and very much enjoyed. On our one rainy afternoon there was a constant back-and-forth between hot tub and pool. Boat dockage was perfect for our 2 boats and a fish cleaning station was adjacent. We enjoyed the Tiki hut as well. The neighborhood is excellent and safe, and very enjoyable for walking (just remember your bug spray). The owners were very prompt and eager to see that we were well-served. We would stay here again, no question.

Birthday retreat with family and friends

This Marathon house was the perfect escape for our mixed group. We planned this trip for a birthday celebration and excuse to visit the Keys. The house had plenty of kitchen space for group meals and very close to grocery store. Fantastic restaurants nearby or fresh fish and lobster at local fish stands. All of the bedrooms exceeded expectations - everyone had plenty of space. We spent most of our time in the pool and backyard. Bring your fishing poles and a light to entice the fish off the back deck at night. We also brought a boat - the location was easy access to the Atlantic or gulf- we really enjoyed seeing the manatees and tarpon in the canals. Super easy to recommend this property to our friends and family.

The Best

This was a family vacation for 11 people. The house was very clean and had the amenities listed in the description. The Host was great at communicating with us prior, during, and after our visit. There is ample parking space in the driveway. We rented a boat that was docked at the house. It was super easy to navigate to the ocean. Each time we stood at the dock we would see various species of fish, nurse sharks, birds, lizards, and insects. Sombrero Beach was a short drive away. We spent most of our evenings in the pool or poolside. Grocery stores and convenient stores were close by, as well as restaurants and attractions. Plenty of room for everyone as a group but it also allowed space for those who wanted it. Our family looks forward to visiting again soon! Thank you for allowing us to rent your beautiful home Jay and Kristen.

Family vacation October 1-8 2022

Thank you so much!! We come to Marathon every year with siblings and this year we brought our mother, children and grandchildren . The house was a perfect size for our group of 14. It was beautifully decorated and well kept. My grandchildren spent almost every day in the pool. Fishing was awesome. We complety filled the freezer with fish. The wide canal made docking the boat a breeze. We also caught some mangrove and large tarpon off dock. Tiki hut was awesome for hanging out after a day on water. Many dinners were had on the screened lanai. Debbie , the property manager was awesome as well. I would not only reccomend this property but I do plan on renting again in future. Ray Shaipro

Great house for the family!

We had a large group and we all had our space! I come from a family of four and all of us have kids so it was nice to have our own room to get away if need be. Easy access and a quick trip to the Atlantic on the boat “maybe 10 minutes”. Only downfall were the mosquitoes at night and in the morning but that’s nature. Highly recommend if you have a large family!

The house was amazing! The boat dock attached to the house was very convenient to let our boats stay in the water for the whole week and the transit to the ocean through the channel was only a couple of minutes and very easy to navigate. Jay was an incredible host. I texted/called him multiple times for questions and he was always willing to help. If I could give this place 1,000 stars I would!!! Definitely would recommend!

A Perfect Rental

We recently spent a week at this fantastic property in Marathon. We had 12 adults, a toddler and an infant in our group, and everyone had a great time. The 7 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms allowed each couple privacy while the layout of the common areas gave us plenty of space to enjoy being together. The house itself is comfortable and well-equipped with everything that you will need for a great stay. The pool was delightful - we did bring our own floating toys so we could float for days. The palapa gave us a comfortable area to stay out of the sun. We rented a kayak while we were there and spent a lot of time paddling around the waterways.Jay was extremely responsive to my many questions leading up to the trip, answering most times the same day. Check in and out was very easy and the Welcome package of instructions thorough and helpful.We did not want to go all the way to Key West for our vacation, but several of us took a day trip there. We discovered a nice beach area at Veterans Park just on the other side of the 7 Mile bridge that we liked better than Sombrero Beach. We also enjoyed the Pigeon Key train ride and tour as well as the Aquarium just down the road. I highly recommend this property if you are looking for a great house for a large group.
