Tie up your boat directly behind the property on the sandbar or dockage and boat launch available across the street on the Bay side. Amazing sea life right at the beach, stingrays, puffer fish crabs, shark. Fish right from the shore. When tide is out you can walk hundreds of feet into the ocean on the sand bar.

Perfect Spot

I never liked Marathon but my husband convinced me to try it one more time. I am so happy he did. Your place was perfect. The area is quiet and not hemmed in by other homes, but close to beaches and restaurants. The apartment was clean and had everything we needed inside and out. The view was wonderful. We loved to watch the stars come out at nite. We will not hesitate to come back for a longer stay.

Great Vacation!

This property was perfect for us! The location offered us the ability to explore other areas of the Keys with ease. The property was exceptionally clean and comfortable. The view was absolutely beautiful and offered plenty of both sun, shade and room for all guests to have space. Perfect!

Wonderful Place!

Absolutely beautiful views and a perfect location! The apartment was a great size for the 2 of us. All our favorite places are nearby. Loved being able to sit down on the beach and up on the deck. Plenty of shade from the palm trees. Water is typical keys. We loved it and will definitely book again!

Keys Vacation

This property is wonderful!! You open your door to see the ocean each day. Nothing is more peaceful! Andy was very accommodating and communicative answering any and all questions quickly. The kayaks were a nice touch and the fire pit was a nice way to end the evening. Would definitely stay again!

A perfect home base to explore the keys!

This place is a perfect home base to explore the keys! Half way between key largo and key west. The apartment was clean and comfortable and rite on the beach with grassy flats resort just two doors down. We were lucky enough to be there for their full moon party. I would recommend this rental and absolutely stay here again.

Great location. Great value

My adult sons came along with my husband and I for a week long getaway. We love the keys and because we were right on the water, I was able to still feel like we were "together" while the boys fished. The home is comfortable and clean. The kitchen was well appointed for cooking. The master bed was quite comfortable and the roll away cot as well. The fold out queen left a lot to be desired..... All and all it was a really nice stay.

A little piece of paradise

What a lovely place to get out of the rat race for a few days. You're literally right on the beach (I wouldn't swim there, but you can certainly walk out quite a ways), there's always a very strong breeze, the apartment was quite comfortable and well-equipped, and it's close to "town" but not in "town" so it's quiet and relaxing. Hope to come back someday.

It was certainly pleasant. I was disappointed that the beach was not conducive to swimming, given the rocks and debris.

Beautiful view of the Atlantic Ocean. Beautiful sunrises. Rental cottage beautifully appointed.

Although the property is located at water’s edge, it should not be considered a swim beach. Even at high tide, water is less than knee deep, more like ankle deep, for many yards out.

Our week in the Key’s!!!

Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful apartment and view with us!!! Once we got there, could not get the box unlocked to grab the keys for almost 30! Minutes! Had to walk away and come back, got the key and WOW, what a view!!! The view is unbelievable! The apartment is just as advertised!! We had an awesome week and loved waking up on the beach!! The only other thing is the property to the south is a rental also!! They had so many coming and going for our whole week, and ALWAYS had there music blaring!! Not anyone’s fault, just a heads-ups!! And this group was not spring breakers, it was families with kids!

Simple yet beautiful and cozy!

I have stayed in the Keys many times. This place was very simple yet perfect! It had everything we needed and more. It was very private. Only 1 other apt next door and a cottage near but the renters who are long term renters who were very nice and they were hardly there. Ronda is one of them who is beyond fascinating. If you get to meet her you'll be truly amazed. Her story of coming to the Keys is worth hearing!!! The beach is just like the pics. In Jan water is cold so we just enjoyed laying out and being near the ocean. You are on the highway so you'll hear traffic at night and maybe the neighbor coming home but other than that its extremely peaceful and comfortable. There is a 3 wheel bike that I used to do the long trails right across the street. A regular bike is there as well and 2 kayaks if you choose. There's also a convenient store right next door to the apt. I loved the big windows in the living rooms well. It allows you a great view. It is an older place that's outdated but its extremely clean when you get there and its also the only place that did not raise the rates super high because it was January, so for the price your getting a great place and the owner is extremely friendly and accommodating. If your on a budget and you need to get away this is a great place!

Vacant/Abandoned

I DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TO ACCEPT MY NEGATIVE REVIEW. THIS REVIEW DOES APPLY TO ADDRESS PROVIDED TO ME BY THE PROPERTY OWNER. THAT'S THE POINT; THE PROPERTY OWNER PROVIDED THE WRONG ADDRESS AND I COULDN'T GET ANY HELP WHEN I CALLED VRBO. DON'T TRUST VRBO REMAINS MY MESSAGE. When I arrived at the address provided for the property (via email from the owner ) on June 11, 2016, I found a notice on the front door, " IMPORTANT We found this property to be vacant/abandoned on June 6, 2016. This information will be provided to the mortgage holder. The mortgage holder has the right and duty to protect this property." No one was around. I called VRBO and they could not locate my information based on my name, my email address, or the property address. While trying to figure out what to do next, the call was disconnected. What did I learn? Don't trust VRBO. I felt completely abandoned and regret this entire episode.

Why they chose this property

This is the perfect spot in the Florida Keys. Very quiet and not far from the mainland yet also close enough to key west for day trips. The beach is amazing and the fishing in marathon is exceptional. Very special place.

What makes this property unique

Beach front and quiet location and close to great fishing/lobstering locations.
