About the host
Hosted by Joe Curley
I am a married father of two, avid hockey player and fishing enthusiast with a successful track record in waterfront real estate operations. I had always enjoyed my visit to the Keys over the years as I just found the area so unique. I thought it be cool to have a place in the keys that I could use when I visited. Crystal clear waters with sandy white bottoms, warm temps year round, incredible water views, the best fishing and diving available in the Continental U.S. I could not think of a better place to own a vacation home. While searching for that perfect Keys home, and having rented homes for my own vacations in the past, I made the decision to only buy a home that could also be a vacation rental. This meant that it had to have an open water view, good accessible dock, and that could be legally rented by the week. I purchase my first property in the City of Marathon in 2009. Today I run a small successful vacation home rental business with 5 homes with my wife Mary.
Why they chose this property
An unique hexagonal homes with 180 degree water views from the living area of this home. The home is located on a quiet saltwater cove connected to the Gulf of Mexico. Views of both the cove and the Gulf are unobstructed by other homes. Mature tropical landscaping surrounds this property. There's a nice tiki hut at the water edges next to a large private pool for your exclusive use.
Marathon's central location in the Middle Keys was the clear choice. Investment was starting to come into the area after the economic recession. Far enough away from the hustles of life but with the conveniences most people want when they vacation. Marathon was also one of the few areas of the Keys where you can rent homes by the week. The licensed program is well run with essential personnel, rental rules and inspections to ensure owners are responsible members of its tourism industry. Marathons businesses cater to both its residents and visitors. All the basic necessities to call it home for many with 2 grocery stores, a Home Depot, library, parks and marine oriented businesses plus a few dozen restaurants/bars, boat rentals, charters and dive shops for its vibrant tourism industry. Fly into Key West, Miami or Ft. Lauderdale International airport and your Keys vacation is only a one to two hour drive away. So much to do right within the city limits or your backyard without every getting in tehe car. Or visit historic Key West, less than an hour drive away.

This home will fit the desires of everyone in your party - from the very active sportsman to the nose buried in a novel types.
