For your beach days, we provide beach chairs, umbrellas, and a beach wagon for your convenience.

BOATING & WATER ACCESS

Bring your boat and enjoy our private 75-ft dock with access toward the Atlantic.

A SPECIAL WELCOME

We love making our guests feel at home from the moment they arrive.

A personalized welcome card and complimentary Publix gift card for last-minute essentials will be waiting for you, along with bottled water and a bottle of wine or champagne.

The house is by far the cleanest, most comfortable and most well appointed rental I've ever stayed in. The house was extremely clean, the bedrooms were comfortable and the blackout curtains allowed for great sleep. A/C worked great in the heat and all of the little things other units nickle and dime you for were plentiful (toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags etc). There's also so many items around the house for the kids or for the adults. The bathrooms are well appointed also. Plenty of towels for the pool and the indoor and outdoor fridges and icemakers.The pool area is great, we'd have preferred a chiller on it as it was pretty warm in late July but it was manageable. It is pretty slippery though on the tiles around the patio, the tiles in the house and the front steps when wet. If you have kids you should have them in water shoes and be careful entering the house.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience. It truly means the world to us to know that you considered our home one of the cleanest, most comfortable, and best-equipped vacation rentals you’ve ever stayed in. We put a lot of love and care into making sure our guests have everything they need for a relaxing and memorable stay, so your kind words are incredibly rewarding. We also appreciate you mentioning the wet surfaces around the pool and the front entrance. Guest safety is one of our top priorities, and we truly appreciate your feedback. Based on your suggestion, we will be adding anti-slip strips to the front steps and to the areas around the pool where people walk most often. We will also be placing absorbent entry mats inside the house to help reduce water being tracked indoors and make the floors even safer. It was a true pleasure hosting you and your family. We wish you all the best and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again in the future! Blue Island at Marathon 🌊🏝️🌅

This house is amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice. It was perfect for our multigenerational trip. We had an amazing trip with our extended family, age 80 to one years old. (Everything we needed for a toddler was available !) The property is very clean, modern furnishings and appliances. The view is amazing out to the Atlantic Ocean. The pool, hot tub and landscape in the backyard are stunning! . The dock was perfect for our boat and fishing. Each room was beautiful with elegant bedding! The host went above and beyond with our welcome package for my parents 60th wedding anniversary and was available all week to answer our questions! Wish we could do the trip all over again!
