The place is as advertised. Very clean, update and an amazing location. The host was always quick to respond to all questions. When we had a small issue, it was taken care extremely quick. Highly recommend staying here.
Great property for our month long stay. Very clean, well supplied kitchen, easy & close access to grocery store, restaurants & other necessities. We were even able to easily rent a pontoon from Coconut Cay at the end of the road- so convenient!! Mayle was on top of any question or issue we had & resolved within minutes. Very great host!! Would definitely stay here again.
Plenty of stuff close by , tub was great . Beds in bunk room were not properly made . Wish there had been some mention of the airport noise and aviation fuel smell we experienced.
Stayed 10 nights in Mar 2026

Thank you for your feedback—we’re glad you enjoyed the tub and the convenient location.
We appreciate you bringing the bunk room beds to our attention, and we will address this with our cleaning team to ensure everything is properly prepared for future guests.
Regarding the airport noise and aviation fuel smell, we’re sorry to hear about your experience. However, this is not something that has been previously reported by other guests, and it’s not something we have personally experienced. That said, we will continue to monitor the situation closely.
Thank you again for your stay and for your feedback.
STAY AWAY!1) Not able to flush toilet paper down drains, signs posted by host in both bathrooms2) Amenities did not work, host did not ever respond for 5 days3) Host will monitor you on camera and ask you questions regarding what they see 4) Gas grill had no propane, we had to buy a tank and was not refunded5) Outdoor refrigerator does not work6) Shower drains routinely clog7) Random guy will show up and go in the back yard unannounced 8) AC is on timer set points, you can’t fully control9) Ant in kitchen and in middle bedroomPlenty of other places to stay, this place is not worth all the trouble
Great location centrally located in the Florida Keys. The home had nice amenities like a great outdoor area, covered and out of the elements comfortable furniture and lots of options like grill, kayaks etc. Inside the home you had a well provisioned kitchen and good appliances throughout. The only opportunity I would point out would be to have water pressure at the bathroom sinks. We used the kitchen sink for most of the bathroom sink/water needs. For just my wife and I it really wasn't a problem.
Check in was simple…not much instructions, but didn’t need anything except door code and wi-fi. House appears to be newly renovated; very clean and functional. House stayed very comfortable, but digital thermostat went down to 65 degrees at night…it got cold. Also, I wasn’t pleased with the sign that says you can’t flush toilet paper in the toilet; don’t know if that’s a city ordinance or what, but that’s ridiculous. I can understand not flushing sanitation wipes or feminine products, but toilet paper…The patio, grill, and hot tub was great. I will likely rent again, but only if they remove the toilet paper sign.
We had an amazing stay at Seaside Sunrise! The home has been beautifully remodeled and comfortably accommodated our entire family. With three bedrooms — a spacious master, a cozy queen, and a fantastic kids' room with enough space to sleep six — it’s ideal for families of all sizes.The outdoor amenities really set this property apart. The screened porch with electric shades was perfect for morning coffee or relaxing evenings. The hot tub and outdoor kitchen/grilling area quickly became our favorite hangout spots. The boat lift and fish cleaning stations were top-notch and made it easy to enjoy the water. The canal is wide and offers quick access to the Gulf of Mexico, with a convenient boat ramp just a block away.Everything was exactly as pictured in the listing, which we truly appreciated. When we noticed the propane tank was empty, the owner responded immediately through the VRBO app and had it replaced — hassle-free.Seaside Sunrise is a gem in Marathon Key, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property and had a wonderful time. The home was clean, comfortable, and the location was perfect. Overall, it was a great experience.There are just a few maintenance and kitchen items that could make future stays even better. The dock could use a few additional cleats, which would make securing a boat much easier. Also, unless you pay the additional fee to use the boat lift, the dock can realistically only accommodate about a 20-foot boat. The outdoor shower was not working during our stay.Inside the home, both showers had minor issues—either the shower heads leaked or the shower door seals allowed water to leak onto the bathroom floor.The kitchen was stocked with only very basic cookware. We would have appreciated having a few larger mixing bowls available for meal preparation.Other than these minor issues, our stay was excellent, and we would happily stay here again.
