Overall great house and amenities. Host is accessible and responsive. The property was clean and had everything we needed. The location is perfect for boating with a protected dock area and direct access to the Gulf and it is a quick run to the Atlantic. The location is secluded and quiet but close to grocery stores, dive shops and everything we needed. Great sunsets! Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic family stay at this home in Marathon. The property was exactly what we were looking for—quiet, private, and right on the bay. We especially enjoyed the seawall, dock, pool, and screened porch, which became our favorite places to relax after a day on the water. The location was excellent, with easy access to boating, restaurants, and local attractions, while still feeling peaceful. The home was well-equipped and made a great base for exploring the Keys. We'd gladly stay here again.

This property was the most amazing place me and my family have stayed at. It had everything you could possibly need on a vacation but the best part is the waterfront. Fresh air, ocean water with every view from the house and the ability to get in the water and forget everyday stress. This is the first house that had air duct filters available which weren't needed. The host was so amazing. She was very communicative and provided lovely snorkeling tips. We did not want to leave and cannot wait to return.

Best view ever from every room! Best sunset views! Loved the screened in back porch area. An older home but you couldn’t beat the view & the size of the home. Loved all the spare linens. Quick access to amenities & things to do.. Can reach things to do in Marathon & Key West.

We’ve stayed at this house twice now…we love it! Perfect location, we ate at many of the 72 restaurants in Marathon and were never disappointed. We love the view of the gulf, and the house fits our needs perfectly. We’ll happily hopefully return there.

We loved waking up to the water and walking and biking in the quiet neighborhood. I had to do some maintenance on both bikes to make them usable (flat tires on both). Plenty of towels, gorgeous views, spacious, so convenient to Bahia Honda State Park. We loved our visits to the Sea Turtle Hospital and Crane Point. All in all, a wonderful vacation!
