Hidden Gem in Marathon

You will love this little property that is beautifully decorated and has all the comforts of home. The pool, clubhouse and marina offer everything you want from a vacation in the Keys. Several great restaurants within walking distance too. The staff is attentive and personable. We love our time at Marlin Bay Yacht Club and will definitely be coming back.

I loved it. 💕

Me and my family of 7 stayed at 2 of the homes they have to offer and it was amazing. We had the whole place basically to ourselves. The staff was nothing but amazing and Melanie was super sweet and professional and assured us in anything we needed. She even mailed my children’s clothes I left in the dryer to my home. Very nice experience. We will defiantly be going back Regards Shreiss Schwab

Fantastic low key luxury resort home in the keys

Beautiful homes surround a serene pool at this resort. There is a mix of families coming is in their beautiful yachts to use the Marina and families coming by land to stay in the homes. I loved how every home was a little but unique. Fun to walk the docks. My kids loved using the provided fish food at the end of the pier to feed the school of large parrot fish. We were disappointed that the kayaks and SUPs never seemed to be available because it was too windy but once I called and was told there was too much sea weed. We were there on a very windy week though. Marathon was a good midpoint to explore the keys. We went to Key West, key Largo and Everglades NP days trips. Having Publix supermarket close by was very convenient. My family also enjoyed the Turtle Hospital and Crane Point Hammock Park which are both very close to resort. All in all, a wonderful week.

Key Trip

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: When we arrived at the unit the garage door failed to open delaying access until maintenance arrived to open the door. It failed again and was left open the rest of the stay!! We noticed small things that have changed in a negative way since previous stay.

It was very quite and not much going on at the resort, but I think that the covid -19 had a lot to do with it, but other than that it was a fantastic place to stay.

My 2 children (5 and 3) spend endless hours in the pool and it was the perfect temperature.We spent most evenings grilling fresh fish and relaxing on the deck.Looking forward to returning soon!My only suggestion would be to keep the clubhouse open a bit later as it closes early.
