Our grandchildren enjoyed the pool. I was pleasantly surprised by the kitchens amenities, and would not have had touring as many utensils as I did. I especially liked the bench at the foot of the king sized bed which made it easy to put on my shoes. A beautiful "Keys" vibe!

Great Stay

My Fiancé and I stayed for a week, wonderful rental- very clean, centrally located making for an easy commute to most attractions in the Keys. We had an issue with the hot water not working due to an issue with the fuse- issue was immediately remedied by the rental company. Would recommend this property and we will definitely book it again for future vacations!

Perfect Location

The property was centrally located on a quiet street. It was close to everything…beach, grocery store, restaurants. It was close to the ocean, and we were able to reach deep water in our boat in about 20 minutes. We thoroughly enjoyed relaxing and spending time together as a family!

Great property!

This property was great and had everything we needed for our week long stay. We were able to keep our 22ft boat in the water on the sea wall. Something to keep in mind, if you have a boat trailer around 18ft or larger, parking will be an issue due to the location of the pool.

Anchors Away stay in Marathon Fl.

When I booked this stay, I had no expectations. When my wife and I arrived, we opened the front door and said "Wow". This is awesome. I was surprised on how big the family room was and the kitchen. Great view from the kitchen table. The master bedroom was huge! The bathrooms were so nice! We said, this is an unexpected treat! We saw a manatee in the back yard canal the first day. They thought of almost everything for the guest who stay here. Everything is clean! Well done. Pros: -Bed and pillows are amazing -Dishes are great quality and coffee cups are a 10 -Pool was an unexpected plus we used it almost every day and hot tub -Couches comfy- Cute Decor- out door shower- outdoor fridge- BBQ- Wrap around Deck- Laundry- Big TV's Cons: -Noisy planes from airport- Neighborhood rooster wakes you up at 6am every day. Thats it. We did pretty well I'd say. I plan to come back. Scott made things easy for me too. Thanks to him.
