This was a great place to stay. Very clean and very well stocked. Communication with the rental agency went very smoothly after a misunderstanding on my part at first. The location was very convenient to grocery stores and restaurants. It was neat watching the boat traffic going by. The sun room was an awesome place to hang out.

Sanctuary Bay lived up to its name. It was the perfect location to explore the Keys in either direction or just enjoy all the wonderful things that Marathon has to offer. So many are attractions within biking distance. The best place to just enjoy being “at home” too.Immaculately clean, tastefully decorated and you can’t beat the sunrise views over the golf course from the front balcony or the breathtaking sunsets over the bay. So many good restaurants in a short driving distance and the best live entertainment venue/dive bar a two minute walk away. Two grocery stores and a drug store also within a five minute drive or a good stretch of the legs. We quickly settled into living on “island time” and spent almost all our time in the 360 view sun room with its comfy couch and cooling breezes. It’s where we ate our meals, read, napped, watched wildlife and had fun observing the boat activity on the bay.It was a difficult place to say goodbye to and the Coco Plum management team are exceptional.

Location is amazing!

We showed up with our family having never been to Marathon. The location is absolutely perfect. The house has an upper loft perfect for two or more kids - it was like their own apartment. Two bedrooms for the adults on the main level. We enjoyed the sunroom for breakfast and the view of the sailboats. We had a rental car so it was an easy drive down street to the beach and to the two grocery stores. Also Marathon is centrally located to go do sightseeing and many restaurants.
