Lovely Stay

Overall we were satisfied with our stay Joe was super easy to contact. Answered all our questions, promptly. Referred us to property manager as needed. The house was nice. Clean. Tidy. Decorated. Stocked. There was a house being built next door and the week we were there they were doing a lot of outside, loud, digging, retaining wall, pool work. Which was annoying considering we are in the construction field, but we made the best of it. Joe was more than apologetic and it definitely was not his fault and we completely understood. I would check with him on the house project before booking. But as I stated, seemed most of the loud outside stuff was done last week. Pool is much smaller than the pictures look. It suited our 4 yr old grandson perfectly with 1-2 adults in the water with him. Our 3 young adult girls didn't seem to mind in their midnight swims. It just is not your standard size pool. But it was nice, did the job and was cleaned once while we were there. Kitchen could use a few more cooking items (pans in particular) & some plastic cups for young travelers. Don't over stock the fridge right away, if you do, like we did, dont freak out when it takes forever to cool down as it is an energy efficient fridge. Plenty of sleeping arrangements including fold away beds & a playpen. We brought extra bath towels as 5 of our 7 guest were girls :) convenient to everything. Upper keys, lower keys, grocery store, entertainment & tourist stuff. We would visit again!

Perfect Location

My wife and I have stayed at this property previously and can't wait until we go back. The location for sitting on the porch or dock and relaxing is perfect. In my mind this house is everything a Keys vacation should have and delievers every time. You will have many lasting memories at this house for years to come.

Fell short

The location and the actual property were great. However, the house was definitely lacking in things we felt a week long minimum rental should have. For example, there were only five wash clothes in the house, two trash bags, 1 towel/person etc. it just didn’t feel like enough every day items for the host to have for a rental intended for 6+ people for a week or more. Also. There were only 5 dining chairs. It was weird.

Stellar Location!

This is our favorite location of all the places we've stayed in the Keys! Although this property (condo) is aging, it still has great features like the pool with a view, kayaks, bikes, and it sits on the Gulf. For awareness, there are multiple other condo buildings newly built immediately around this property now (they may not be in the photos), so the privacy is not what it once was. Overall, great place to stay! Owners and management team are super responsive!

Keys

We were sent to the wrong address and ended with a storm. The property was great, the inside was just as listed, the outside pictures are very deceiving as there are four new buildings actively being built, three on one side and one on the other, that we were not told about. The pounding, sawing, machinery, and men talking was not very relaxing. Joe was nice and apologized and we were offered another condo, however, the replacement offered only had two beds for six adults. It was kind of a bad versus bad situation so why add moving to it. Having the construction site so close the workers watched us while you ate on the deck, swam, or just sat out we had to pick up nails and wood pieces plus being woke up 4 out of the 7 mornings at 7:30 am to pounding and one morning before 6:30 am with a Bobcat running. The driveway was blocked twice, water off one day (caused by construction) and power out another (not from construction). We did have problems with supplies and the pool did not heat, that was fixed but all of this took time to get done. Overall, I loved the location, wished there had been more sun and less wind and no construction. We did try to keep busy and away from the condo during the construction hours, but a vacation is a time to rest, relax and enjoy family not to have to worry about schedules. As I said Joe was nice and did give us a credit, but the listing is still not accurate. All in all we would stay again preferably with no construction.

Needs extensive updating

First ill say its a great location and view. That's really the inly thing it has going for it. Its run down like an old college apartment. Everything in the unit is extremely cheap. Almost no kitchen items you woukd expect. Missing or broken furnature. (Dining table missing chair, almost all the bedroom furniture is broken) Carpet is way beyond needing replaced. No stoppers in any tubs shower heads and faucets that hardley worked. 1 TV worked. Outdoor furniture was a joke and looked like it was pulled from a dumpster. Honestly the more you look the worse it got. I wish i could post pictures. Botton line this owner is nice but put no effort into maintaining the home.

Great week in Marathon!

We had a wonderful stay! Pictures are exactly what you will see when you get there- that view is what sold us on the place. Owners were very responsive to questions beforehand and we didn’t have any issues while there, so we didn’t need to contact them. We rented a boat and were able to tie it right there, which was amazing. My fisherman husband loved the bait freezer and being able to fish right there off the back. We rode bikes a few times to local restaurants. I miss sitting out in the deck and enjoying that view with my morning coffee. Lots of space and great location!
