House and location were perfect. Very close 5 minute walk to the beach. Pool was great! House was very nice for 3 couples. Each couple had their own bedroom/bathroom and wasn’t on top of each other. House had everything we needed. I would definitely stay again in the near future.

The house was just like listed! We paid to heat the pool & it was well worth it & so warm with the cooler weather we experienced while there. Host communicated well, answering all of our questions & giving us all the information we needed for our stay. Perfect location, less than 1/2 a mile walk to sombrero beach. House was easy to find & had plenty of room for 3 couples!

Great Place!

House is just as pictured and described. Very well equipped with everything you would need for fun family vacation. Kitchen is well stocked with all necessities. Seem-less process from check-in to check-out. Quiet with plenty privacy and great pool! Plenty of parking room for vehicles or boat. Heated pool was amazing! Everything you need is within 3-5 miles of the house. very clean and welcoming. Meredith is great and very responsive. Will be back to this property many times to come!

Had an incredible week!

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Tingler Retreat. It is well supplied with dishes and cookware, clean linens, pool toys, beach chairs, bikes and kayaks. The back yard is it’s own retreat and very relaxing. Enjoyed sunsets on the beach a short walk away and visiting Key West for a day. Our family all agreed we could stay here again - we had a great time!! Communication leading up to our stay and during was quick and appreciated.

Great Stay

We have stayed at many Marathon VRBO's in the past and this place is at the top of the heap. Great location, great pool area. Kitchen well stocked with quality utensils. No steps to climb was a plus. Even caught a tarpon off the dock one day. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay!

A nice retreat

The house is situated on a canal in a great location for boating both in the ocean and the gulf. The house was very clean and had everything we needed plus bikes, kayaks and pool games. The new tiki hut by the pool was a life savor in the hot August heat. Also the home is very close to grocery stores and restaurants. The property manager answered all my questions promptly.

This was our second year in a row at Tingler Retreat. House is immaculate. We love the location because we also rent a boat and can tie up right behind the house in a very protected canal. Pool is great. We spend almost no time indoors. Kitchen has everything you need. Great place!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was Beautiful and very clean. Each couple had their own bedroom and bathroom. The kitchen had anything you needed and a very relaxed environment. I loved being able to see the pool from the kitchen, kitchen table, and master bedroom. Pool was so much fun to have, although it was a little warm, but we did stay during literally the hottest week of the year. Meredith was very easy to communicate with and ensured we had everything we needed. Location is perfect with this house for what we needed, short canal ride to the Atlantic, short car ride to all kinds of restaurants, grocery, and marinas. The outside hut with the TV was such a fun place to relax. Just an overall perfect trip with a lot or memories made.
