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.

Each of our properties is carefully prepared with attention to detail, ensuring that guests feel at home from the moment they arrive.

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.

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.
