About this property

Waterfront hideaway with dock, pool & inviting patio - walk to Sombrero Beach

  • A treasure trove of tropical delights awaits at this breezy, two-bedroom Keys hideaway. Located on Marathon's quiet, Boot Key, you'll be within walking distance of popular Sombrero Beach and enjoy ocean views from home with direct canal access via a private dock. Other features include a private pool with pool spa and a patio furnished for outdoor living with a lounge area, dining table, and grill.

    The home's stilted design features a raised, single-level interior showcasing coastal island charm and deluxe modern comforts. The open layout welcomes group gatherings with blended kitchen, dining, and living areas. The island kitchen boasts gorgeous counters and chef's grade amenities including Monogram-brand stainless steel and a suite of utensils for gourmet meal inspiration. There's a lovely kitchen island with counter seating and adjacent dining area. In the evenings, unwind on the living room sofa while streaming shows and movies on the smart TV. Open up the slider door to the balcony to feel cooling coastal breezes. Home essentials include central air-conditioning, free WiFi, and a private washer and dryer.

    Prime Florida Keys living awaits downstairs. The breezy, shaded patio will be a favorite happy hour haunt and the sparkling pool offers a private oasis hidden among palms and mangroves, with an attached pool spa for soothing soaks. Fish directly from the canal and fillet your catch at the dedicated cleaning station on the dock. Fire up the gas grill for a fresh-caught seafood feast to enjoy with family and friends at the outdoor dining table. Launch one of the provided kayaks directly from home and explore the waterways around Boot Key.

The house was just as pictured-recently updated, clean, and spacious. Water views from the living area, kitchen, and master br were great. The proximity to sunset beach and all the restaurants, nightlife, and shopping was also a plus.

Vacation get away

This house was perfect for two couples. It is in a great location. It is literally a 5 minute walk to Sombrero Beach. Less than a hour from Key West. The pool was great. Communication was great. We really enjoyed our week here and would stay again.

2nd Year in a Row

This was our 2nd year renting this home. 1st time through Vacasa directly. The home is in a great location. Awesome fishing from the dock. Centrally located in Marathon. Great for two couples or a small family. We will be back!

Pirate booty spring stay.

The home is well done on the inside. Furniture is comfortable. Great location to the beach. The pool has big problem and I understand they are trying to figure out what to do. It won’t look like the picture.

Beautiful

beautiful house..very clean. Loved watching the manatees in the channel. The pool and spa was wonderful. The only reason for not giving it a full 5, is because of the tidal sand bar at the entrance of the channel. At low tide, you can not get a boat with a 10" draft, into it. My husband's, boat got stuck and he had to leave it,until the tide started to come, back in. I would rent this house again . loved it.

Brought Our Boat Review

This was a great location for our 18’ boat. It would not work for boats with a deep hull as it’s very shallow. We got stuck during low tide trying to get out fishing. Depth was 1’ during low tide. The house was good overall. I wish there was an option for heating the pool. We had a cold front move in and it was to cold to use the pool. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Hidden gem near the beach

This home is the perfect vacation home. Close proximity to walk to beach and short drive to restaurants. We rent homes multiple times a year and this was one of the best homes we have stayed at that made each family member happy. Fishing, swimming and relaxing. Thank you for sharing your home!

2022 Keys vacation

This was our first visit to the Keys we were not disappointed. We came to fish and enjoy the beautiful weather, both were beyond our expectations!! Definitely will be coming back. The house we rented was perfect, the location was on point. Every morning we were able to fish right from our own private dock. Swim in the afternoons in the private pool, there was a grocery store just a few minutes from the house. Can’t wait to come back!!

Hidden Gem

Perfect house for our family of four. Situated on a canal and backyard patio and pool feels private and isolated. We used the 2 kayaks everyday. Beautiful views of ocean and sunset. Five minute walk to Sombrero beach. No TV on patio like in picture and the master king mattress extremely uncomfortable (queen in spare room softer). First time to the Keys and we will be back!

Beautiful property

Just wasn’t happy with my husband fishing off the dock and light from the neighbors dock pointed right into you face. The king side bed was bad. The queen bed was good, but the vent over head was horrible to sleep with directly in your face. Otherwise the kitchen was amazing well stocked. Great outdoor space. When we had problems they took care of it right away.

Great Space and Location

We loved the house and being in the middle keys. It made day trips to other keys easy. Housekeeping did show up a few minutes before 10am (check out). They sat in the car in the driveway and stared at us while we packed the car. It was incredibly awkward. I don’t count this against the owner or how great the stay was, but I do think it is something to bring up to the company coming to clean the houses.

Pirate's Booty

This is a beautiful vacation home in a great location at the end of a canal, a short drive from Sombrero Beach. You can see the beach from the kitchen windows, and I'll add that this is my favorite beach in all of the Keys! The kitchen was large and updated with great appliances and an enormous granite island. It came stocked with enough trash bags, toilet tissue, paper towels, bath products, and dish detergent to last us the whole week. The floor of the patio area is peeling and takes away from the beauty of it, but did nice nice outdoor furniture. The canal was deep enough for us to dock a boat there with no problems. Definitely would recommend staying here!

Not For a Fishing Trip

The inside of the house is well done except there are not accommodations for 6 there are only 2 beds. Thankfully My family had a house down the street so my daughter had a place to stay. Good location to get out if boat has a very shallow draft, low tide is about 10" at the turn of the canal. High tide is about 3ft. There is NO Bait Freezer. The only Ice Maker was in the fridge and didn't make enough for a small cooler for a beach day. The water pressure in the house is low. The Dishes are chipped, the faucet in the kitchen doesn't work well. The pool needs some work as around the water fall the tile is coming off. The spa intake does not have a cover on it so be careful with little ones.
