Great home in a great location

We stayed for a week in Marathon at this beautiful 4 bedroom home. Location: The location of the home is really perfect. It sits close enough to the main road that you can walk to the grocery store and far enough away that you dont hear the traffic. Its also on a nice walking path that leads you to Sombrero Beach. We also loved that the drive to Key West was only about an hour or so.Outdoor area: We spent a large majority of our time at the house enjoying the beautiful outdoor space. There is a nice deck off of the main living space. Underneath there is a nice shaded area if you need a break from the sun. There is also a nice heated pool, deck chairs, and a hammock. And you get to enjoy this space while watvhing the boats go by on the canal. Also got to see some manatees lounnging in the water.Indoor space: The indoor area was perfect for us. There is a bedroom and bathroom downstairs and then 3 bedrooms and 2 baths upstairs. The kitchen was nice and had everything we could possibly need. Overall this is a fantastic property and I highly recommend staying here if your travels bring you to Marathon. (I did not mention it above but the hosts were fantastic as well).

Great location

Beautiful area with lots to do. Overall we enjoyed the home and it fit our 4 adults and 4 children (ages 8-12) with plenty of room. Pool was great to keep cool and we did plenty of fishing off the dock. The house has been a little used and abused as some rentals do. The pictures make it appear a little nicer than in person. I’d recommend some better quality bedding/sheets and pool towels.

Great Place for a Big Group

We took a little vacation to the keys with our parents and adult children. We had 10 adults ranging in age from 24 to 80 and fit comfortably. This property is close to shops and very relaxing with the pool and canal. We were able to park our boat right outside of the yard and house was equipped with a cleaning table and freezer for our catch. A drawback was that it took 40 minutes to get through the canal out to sea, but we knew this before we rented and I believe the owner has priced this rental with that in mind. We did not use the BBQs as they had not been cleaned prior to our arrival. Otherwise, our stay was great and very relaxing!

Good Location - Plenty of Room for Family Vacation

This was our first time to Marathon and we really enjoyed the location of the property. It was very close to the grocery store, shopping, restaurants, and Sombrero Beach! The home is beautifully decorated and comfortable. There was plenty of room for our 6 person family and our two dogs loved it too! The only reason I am giving a 4-star review is because I agree with a previous review there are some areas of the home that need to be addressed to make this a 5-star property. The day we arrived the grass in the backyard was overgrown. We had to contact the owner to have it mowed. It was not cut until Monday afternoon which hindered us from using the pool/backyard area during the first two days of our vacation. The owner was very responsive which we appreciated. Our issue was why was it not scheduled to be done before our arrival. Also in the backyard, there is plenty of seating but the 3 lounge chairs there are not in good condition. One was ripped and it was a safety issue. There are several issues inside that need to be addressed as well. In the kitchen, there was no sink stopper so it made it difficult to wash dishes. The dishwasher had no cover for the buttons so we were unsure what setting we were using. The lock on the primary bathroom was gone and the light/fan in the same bathroom was missing, which were both very inconvenient. The owner is very responsive so we are sure he will address these minor issues to help this property to be perfect!

Great Family Birthday Stay!

Fabulous property for a family of 6 with pets that made the trip for a combined birthday trip. Nice location on the water with a 60' dock so we rented a pontoon boat for the week for exploring, snorkeling and fishing. Accomodations were very nice and the small pool was perfect after a day on the water. There was good privacy from the adjoining unit and noise was never an issue. All family members enjoyed their own space as needed. The outdoor space worked well with both pool lounging and fishing prep. Jay, the owner, was responsive to any messages when the trash service didn't pick up recycled or trash as scheduled. The unit was nicely appointed with a view of the canal and passing boats. Overall a great experience despite the higher seasonal expense.

Good location

This VRBO was located in a nice area. Felt secure and it was comfortable overall, with lots of nice decor and a nice pool. Mostly sound useful furniture. Good TV and Wi-Fi (bring your own streaming). Close to the beach - 5 minute drive, close to grocery shopping. USB ports would have been awesome. Should be noted in listing that this is on a busy, sometimes noisy road. There were lots of areas that need to be fixed with this unit. The carpet was dirty; the trash had not been put out for pick up and so cans were full; the whole place needs repainting; needs hooks in bedrooms and bathrooms. Only towel holder in master bath was shower door bar; hooks for toiletry kits would be helpful; missing door lock in master bath; 11 pillows on king bed, but only 5 hangers in closet(!) we took some from other closets; some dirty dishes were in cabinet; several cockroaches upstairs, and sugar ants in kitchen; comforters are too hot for Florida temps; could not find remote for TV in master bedroom; dishwasher not secured permanently - very tippy! Lawn was overgrown when we arrived and was never mowed during our stay which resulted in it being too buggy to sit outside in the evening. Broken down outdoor lawn chairs, and beach umbrella. Unit 2 needs some TLC

Perfect location

My friends and I have been doing a deep sea fishing trip together for 17 consecutive years. We’ve always tried to fish the keys but the opportunity has never presented itself until now. Check in/out was seamless. 5 of us stayed here very comfortably. We were able to cook our catch with ease in the nicely furnished kitchen. The spot was perfect for us. We fished the canal behind the property and took a few kayak floats as well. The Publix is 2 minutes away and plenty of restaurants are close. If we’re able to fish the keys again, we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended. -S.P.
