Fishing paradise

We had an awesome stay! We came down from NC to fish in the keys… this house is built for fishing. It has a well lit dock , fresh water access and a fish cleaning station. The house is filled with so much character. Sue was extremely prompt and she was just a text away if we needed anything. Great location with easy boat access to the Atlantic and gulf. We will be staying here again, hopefully soon!

Enjoyed our stay

The house was very unique and clean! The property was well kept. Location was a bit noisy due to planes taking off at the nearby airport but not overly distracting. Lots of good shopping and restaurants nearby! We had a very relaxing stay!

Awesome Dock and Refreshing Pool!

The house was clean and had everything that we needed. It was really hot, and the pool was clean and refreshing. The patio area was shaded and very comfortable as well. The neighborhood was quiet, and there was good privacy. The dock was perfect for our boat!

Perfect house and location!

My wife and I stayed here for our honeymoon. The house and property were perfect! We loved the pool and patio area and being able to have the house’s stereo playing music in that area. We had a larger boat with us and it fit at the dock perfectly! We will definitely remember this house for the next time we decide to visit Marathon.

Lovely home

House was a delightful place to live for two weeks. Very well equipped and centrally located. Don’t forget to make reservations at Franks Deli. Short walk. Excellent food and service. The only negative was grilling on the patio required going up and down a set of stairs if you ate in the lovely kitchen area. No question. We would stay again. Tom and Sue

Perfect Getaway

This house was absolutely perfect for our vacation. The location is very convenient for shopping and restaurants. Our days were spent lounging by the pool and non-stop fishing. Having the ice machine was absolutely amazing (and saved many, many trips to the store). We loved the projection screen TV and the automatic shades for the windows. We would definitely rent this house again! - I can't forget to mention how genius it was to make the outside Tiki bathroom- not having to dry off to go inside gets absolutely 5 stars!

Wonderful Getaway

We spent a week at the Tiki Chalet and couldn't have been happier. The property owner, Sue, is a pleasure to work with and the property is absolutely fabulous. It is stocked up on everything you would need--pots, pans, etc.--as well as surround-sound music and a giant projector T.V. The home is located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood and offers a beautiful backyard patio that overlooks the canal. We saw manatees, fish, and a variety of birds while we sat out back. It was a wonderfully, peaceful getaway that we really enjoyed. We will definitely be back!

Paradise in Marathon

Everything about this VRBO was amazing. The kitchen was well equipped.Bathrooms were clean and spacious.Loved the Tommy Bahama furniture throughout the home.It instantly gave you a vacation vibe. I think my husbands favorite was the projection screen tv that turned the living room into a movie theater and the surround sound in every room and outside. The outside balcony deck gave you amazing views .The pool and outside patio(various seating and fridge)was great to relax on after a day of kayaking or exploring the Keys.I highly recommend the Tiki Chalet!!! Also the host was very helpful and promptly answered any questions or concerns it might have had.

Perfect House!

Beautiful house, very clean and well stocked! TP, paper towels, gas for grill, and the icemaker saved us hundreds of dollars not having to buy ice. Beds were super comfortable, slept great! Great pool to cool off in after boating. Lots of covered space underneath with plenty of chairs and lounge chairs. Beautiful landscaping. Boat dock has plenty of room and new rubber rails to protect your boat. First canal right off the bay, so easy access to the back bay and a short trip to Vaca Cut to get to the ocean. Best house we've stayed in the keys and we've been down there 8 times. Great vacation! Thanks!

Highly Recommended

Sue, is an excellent host. She answered every question I had in a very timely manner. The house was outstanding. Including the projection TV. Must be 10 feet wide. Awsome to watch a movie along with the sound system they have installed. The salt water pool was very clean and enjoyable. We also rented their boat for the week. It was a breezy week. So, we didn't take advantage of the fishing as we would have liked. All in all, we had an excellent time and would highly recommend this rental. AAA+++++. Hope to do this again. Thanks Sue!

Nice but uneasy

Sue was very communicative, and the property pictures were accurate with the exception of the cameras located on the property. No where in the description did it indicate there would be 7 cameras. We felt uneasy that we were being watching virtually anywhere on the property We can understand having a camera to watch your property, but this seemed a little excessive. The ipad inside had the potential of being turned-on to hear and see us.

Great location, quiet

We really enjoyed the location, the Tiki motif was so cool. We visited in the off season (September) so it was very quiet. I imagine it could be noisy during peak season. Unit was very clean and well outfitted. The ice maker was a really great asset. We never had to go buy ice for our cooler or boat trips. We used the pool everyday and loved it. It is shaded in the afternoon just when you want it to be. Very easy access to the Gulf and then through Vaca Cut to get to the Atlantic. The local manatee visited almost every day! The owners were very easy to communicate with. This house is a smart home so it has a central tablet to manage a few things. The electric blinds were awesome! Really only set up for 4 adults but could handle a couple of kids on the sofa beds.
