About this property

Waterfront 6BR Luxury Retreat w/ Pool & Dock

"The furnishings/decor are beautiful. This is one of the nicest houses we have had the pleasure to rent, everything is spotless/brand new. It was hard getting our kids ages 8 and 10 to leave the house each day for adventures. " -Kristie Krueger

As a boating enthusiast, I designed Captain's Retreat for families who want it all – luxury accommodations plus authentic Keys adventures.

The spacious living area features panoramic water views through floor-to-ceiling windows, with a massive sectional where everyone can gather to share stories of the day's catches.

Outside, the private heated pool and spa create the perfect tropical oasis, surrounded by lush landscaping that provides both privacy and that quintessential Keys atmosphere.

About the host

Hosted by Eric Young

Host profile image
Our family has visited Marathon for our vacations for many years and we've always dreamed of owning our own little piece of paradise in the area!

Captain's Retreat is that dream come to life. We've put a lot of love and care into the home to make it a wonderful place for a family getaway. We love relaxing in the outdoor kitchen and living space while watching our kids splash in the pool. The location is perfect and the neighborhood is one of a kind.

The home is just a short boat ride to the best snorkeling in the area, super close to world class fishing, and quick access off the canal straight onto the Atlantic Ocean. It's even located on a canal with exceptional fishing right in the back dock. It's a quick drive to Sombrero Beach and the neighborhood is perfect for morning or evening walks or bike rides. We're excited to make plenty more family memories and are happy to be able to offer Captain's Retreat for you to make memories in as well. Let us know if there is anything we can do to make your stay perfect.

Enjoy the emerald waters, laid back lifestyle and spectacular sunsets at Captain's Retreat!
