Great house for a family getaway!

Very nice house. Comfortably fit 6 adults. It was nice being right on the water and the saltwater pool was great. Easy access to lots of restaurants and Sombrero Beach. Close enough to Key West for day trips. Greatly enjoyed our stay.

Cozy,clean, great view

Property listed accurately and was very comfortable. The pool was warm, and the view was nice. The only suggestion we would include is that some accessories like beach chairs, a cooler, more beach towels and some hooks outside or a rack for wet clothes would be nice for those who enjoy the beach.

Thanksgiving week with family at this home was perfect! Location was excellent for fishing and close to stores. House had everything we needed. Only wished there was more utensils. Had plently of nice towels and pool towels and very comfortable beds. Tiki hut was great for our evening meals watching sunsets and morning coffee sunrises from our own backyard! Heated pool was a huge plus! Would stay again!

Great house!

Our family of four stayed for a week and had a great time. The house has everything you need and it was impeccably clean. We rented a boat and kept it at the house- super convenient. We used the pool constantly. Would definitely recommend the house!

Another Beautiful Stay

Had another wonderful stay in this beautiful home! House is beautifully decorated with everything you need. The water view is spectacular! The weather was extremely hot the week we were there and the pool was very refreshing. Other than the nesting pigeons under the home everything was perfect. Very close to shopping, restaurants and major Marathon attractions. Looking forward to next year already!

Great Property

We loved staying at this property! House is beautiful and clean just as the pictures showed! Beds were super comfortable and shower water pressure was superb. Kitchen was fully equipped and nearby Publix and Winn Dixie was a plus! Pool water temperature was refreshing… never to hot or cold. Fishing from sea wall was entertaining. Lots of fish, manatees, iguanas and birds! Would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful place to kick back and relax!

We came to celebrate our daughters college graduation and husbands retirement! It was everything we had hoped for. The house was spacious, clean, and updated. The beds were so comfortable! The pool was a must in the south Florida heat and the water views were stunning! There is a beautiful view from every window! We saw a manatee and sea turtle within reach of the sea wall. We will be back!

2nd year staying

Everything is in working order at the house. Being completely honest, there is a moderate pigeon problem in the rafters outside the home, so much as the poop became a daily problem. Other than that...we love the view, plenty of towels...kitchen stocked well as we cooked every day. Would like to stay again...great location

This was our third stay in this beautiful house. LOVE! Most peaceful and relaxing vacation as always. It was our treat to ourselves to celebrate our anniversary. Wish the rates hadn’t increased for next year as we will never find such a nice location. It’s now out of our price range but highly recommend this beauty.

Great Stay With The Family

We loved the house. It was clean and comfortable for our family of four and two dogs. The view is amazing. I have two teenage boys and both loved fishing everyday off the sea wall. It was so nice to have the tiki hut for shade and a pool to cool off in. We also rented a couple of paddle boards and kayaks from Keys Kayaks. They delivered and picked up which was convenient. Would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular view!

Our first time in Marathon. Great house, can’t beat the views! Location on the water is perfect. Spotted manatee next to the sea wall! Neighborhood is a little quirky, but on par with Keys vibe. Loved doing kayak tour through mangroves off Sombrero beach and visiting Crane Point. Island Fish Co had delicious key lime coladas and views of the water. Enjoyed bbq at Herbie’s and ice cream at Conch Custard. A great week!

Beautiful Oceanfront Home

This home in Marathon was absolutely stunning! Extremely clean, everything you need to have a comfortable stay. The views are amazing! Fishing right off the dock was our favorite past time. We saw manatees and a friendly stroll of a resident iguana each day. We visited the nearby aquarium and went on a sunset catamaran cruise. The restaurants in Marathon were excellent and our favorite was Lazy Days. Loved staying in this home and have already rebooked for next year!
