Incredible stay
Beautiful home with everything you need and more. The boat dock/ seawall was perfect for our 24 ft boat, and the house itself is spotless, stylish, and so comfortable. Peaceful location but close to restaurants and shops. We didn’t want to leave — can’t wait to come back!

Thank you for the review, we always like to hear about a great stay and successful fishing while on vacation. Thanks again for sharing your experience and we hope you will stay at Sunny's Paradise for your next fishing trip to Marathon.
We had such a wonderful week staying Sunny's Paradise! The house was extremely clean, quiet, and reflected the pictures online perfectly. It was our first big trip with our son, who is one, and the house was very safe for him as well. Would stay there again if we are ever back in the area!

We enjoyed our stay at Sunny's Paradise! It was roomy for our family to stay without being cluttered. We enjoyed the full kitchen for breakfast and being able to cook our fish we caught. The porch was perfect for watching the sunset. The house is in a nice central location. We were able to visit Key West and John Pennekamp and Bahia Honda State Parks with short drives. We really loved our stay!
