Salty Anglers: Waterfront Retreat with Heated Pool, Dock & Walk to Sombrero Beach
Welcome to Salty Anglers, your private slice of paradise in the heart of the Florida Keys. This beautifully updated waterfront 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom vacation rental in Marathon, Florida has been thoughtfully designed to combine coastal charm, modern comfort, and unbeatable location. Whether you’re planning a family vacation, a couples’ getaway, or a fishing trip with friends, Salty Anglers offers everything you need for a relaxing and memorable stay.
- The Perfect Florida Keys Getaway -
Salty Anglers is ideally located just a short stroll or quick bike ride from the world-famous Sombrero Beach, one of the most beloved stretches of sand in the Florida Keys.

From your front door, you’re also minutes from Marathon’s best restaurants, shops, marinas, and attractions like The Turtle Hospital and Dolphin Research Center.
Marathon is often called “the heart of the Keys” — perfectly positioned between Key Largo to the north and Key West to the south.

Fantastic Time in the Keys
We found this house to be perfect for 4 couples! The pool was the perfect temperature, we really enjoyed having coffee out on the covered upstairs patio, and the dock was perfect for us to rent a boat for 4 days of our stay. We all enjoy walking in the morning, and we found the neighborhood a great place to walk, and everyone around us was very friendly! Would stay there again! Host was very nice and kept in touch with us to make sure we had everything we needed.

Wonderful Property for boaters
We had a great stay in this beautiful home. We traveled with our three grown children and each of their significant others. Our son-in-low is a charter fishing captain and he brought his small boat for us to use everyday. This home, dock, location and provisions made for the perfect get away. We loved the house and it was perfect for four couples. We are huge eaters and I am a gourmet cook and everything in the kitchen was perfect. I appreciate that there was laundry detergent, clean beach towels, extra pillows and anything else we needed for a great stay. The location was perfect for us. A beautiful boat ride out of the canals and then we were about 17 N miles off of the humps where we fished and caught tuna for sushi dinners several days. It was a quick ride to the seven mile bridge and sand bars. We also drove to Key West for a day and it was a beautiful one hour drive. Publix and Winn Dixie were less than a mile drive from the driveway. We will definitely be back with friends and family whenever we want to stay in the Keys.

Salty Angler vacation rental has a great location close to the beach, grocery store, and dining. The house is spacious, comfortable and very clean. Best of all the pool was warm and really made our week since the weather was cool and cloudy during our stay.
We were able to fish off the dock and see a manatee swim up. When the sun came out the beach was close by and very beautiful. We played a lot of corn hole in the back yard with their boards. You won't be disappointed with this rental. The owners/property managers were outstanding as well.
