"Such a great spot! We had a fantastic stay in Marathon. The pool was a hit with the kids (the gate on the stairs locks for pool safety). We docked our boat right at the house, very convenient. The house was as described, lots of towels, linens etc. Less than 5 minute drive to Sombrero Beach, perfect spot for snorkeling, soaking in the sun and playing in the sand."

"Kon-Tiki is in an outstanding location, and offers so many outdoor activities! We launched the house kayaks in the canal from the house dock, and paddled through the canals of beautiful homes, boats, and mangroves to the ocean's edge and back. We rode the bicycles provided, and walked to Sombrero beach. We relaxed in the pool, and on the dock. We rented a boat for three days, and docked it at the house. We went cruising, snorkeling, and fishing in it. The back yard is very private and beautiful, with palm trees and lush vegetation. The kitchen is beautiful, and well-stocked. We cooked several times. I liked the deep washer and dryer. The upstairs, king size bed was comfortable. There is a lot of closet space."

We had a very relaxing vacation at this home. It's what we both were looking forward to. Shopping and dining were a 5-10 minute drive from the home. Very open interior main room, with lots of room to breathe. The pool and tiki hut were both a plus to escape the heat of the day. Would definitely recommend this home.

Our stay in Marathon.

Good location. Close to restaurants, beaches, shopping, attractions. The house was nice. The paint job was a bit odd (not quite finished). The pool was nice, even though a bit smaller than it looked to be in the photos. It was a short walk to a nice beach. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.
