Salty Anglers: Waterfront Retreat with Heated Pool, Dock & Walk to Sombrero Beach

Welcome to Salty Anglers, your private slice of paradise in the heart of the Florida Keys. This beautifully updated waterfront 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom vacation rental in Marathon, Florida has been thoughtfully designed to combine coastal charm, modern comfort, and unbeatable location. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a couples’ getaway, or a fishing trip with friends, Salty Anglers offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay.

- The Perfect Florida Keys Getaway -

Salty Anglers is ideally located just a short stroll or quick bike ride from the world-famous Sombrero Beach, one of the most beloved stretches of sand in the Florida Keys. Known for its white sand, calm waters, and family-friendly atmosphere, Sombrero Beach is perfect for sunbathing, swimming, picnicking, and spotting sea turtles. From your front door, you’re also minutes from Marathon’s best restaurants, shops, marinas, and attractions like The Turtle Hospital and Dolphin Research Center.

Marathon is often called “the heart of the Keys” — perfectly positioned between Key Largo to the north and Key West to the south. That means you can enjoy the laid-back island lifestyle, go deep-sea fishing, snorkel coral reefs, or take a day trip to Bahia Honda State Park and the iconic Seven Mile Bridge.

Warm pool, great location & everything you need

Salty Angler vacation rental has a great location close to the beach, grocery store, and dining. The house is spacious, comfortable and very clean. Best of all the pool was warm and really made our week since the weather was cool and cloudy during our stay. We were able to fish off the dock and see a manatee swim up. When the sun came out the beach was close by and very beautiful. We played a lot of corn hole in the back yard with their boards. You won't be disappointed with this rental. The owners/property managers were outstanding as well.

Wonderful Property for boaters

We had a great stay in this beautiful home. We traveled with our three grown children and each of their significant others. Our son-in-low is a charter fishing captain and he brought his small boat for us to use everyday. This home, dock, location and provisions made for the perfect get away. We loved the house and it was perfect for four couples. We are huge eaters and I am a gourmet cook and everything in the kitchen was perfect. I appreciate that there was laundry detergent, clean beach towels, extra pillows and anything else we needed for a great stay. The location was perfect for us. A beautiful boat ride out of the canals and then we were about 17 N miles off of the humps where we fished and caught tuna for sushi dinners several days. It was a quick ride to the seven mile bridge and sand bars. We also drove to Key West for a day and it was a beautiful one hour drive. Publix and Winn Dixie were less than a mile drive from the driveway. We will definitely be back with friends and family whenever we want to stay in the Keys.

Fantastic Time in the Keys

We found this house to be perfect for 4 couples! The pool was the perfect temperature, we really enjoyed having coffee out on the covered upstairs patio, and the dock was perfect for us to rent a boat for 4 days of our stay. We all enjoy walking in the morning, and we found the neighborhood a great place to walk, and everyone around us was very friendly! Would stay there again!

We are Bill and Stephanie, a husband-and-wife team with more than 25 years of experience in the home rental industry, including over 16 years dedicated specifically to vacation rentals. What began as a family passion has grown into a commitment to providing thoughtfully designed, welcoming spaces where guests can relax, reconnect, and create lasting memories.

Our philosophy of hospitality goes beyond offering a place to stay. We believe every vacation home should feel both inviting and inspiring—a balance of comfort, ease, and opportunity for adventure. Each of our properties is carefully prepared with attention to detail, ensuring that guests feel at home from the moment they arrive.

Why they chose this property

Over the years, we’ve found that the simplest experiences often become the most meaningful: enjoying a sunset by the pool, gathering for a family meal, or sharing a quiet morning coffee before a day of exploring. Hearing from guests that these moments became the highlight of their trip is the greatest reward of what we do.

What makes this property unique

Because we manage our properties personally, we take pride in being hands-on hosts. This allows us to maintain a high standard of care, respond quickly to guest needs, and ensure that every stay is as seamless and enjoyable as possible. Many of our guests return year after year, a testament to the level of trust and connection we strive to build.

Hospitality is not just our profession—it is our passion. Our goal is that every guest departs with more than just a pleasant stay: we hope they leave with special memories and a genuine desire to return.
