Highly recommended Keys location!

We spent a month here in January 2024. So many amazing things about this rental. Excellent king bed, comfortable sofas, large TV, a smaller unit but plenty of room for two of us. The kitchen is well equipped (though small). The Tiki hut is great for sitting in the sun. Large windows let in a lot of great light and amazing sunrises. The bathroom is small but perfect. This is a 2 unit (not 4 as one reviewer claimed) and the full time resident in the unit next door was very friendly and helpful, even sharing some fish he caught. Unlike what one review stated we could not hear the other unit at all, except rarely the muffled sound of a tv through the wall. The quality windows keep out all the outside noise. There are screens on most windows for when the weather is nice. As another reviewer stated we were not able to use the kayak because we did have a way to transport it to the park next door. But the unit is a very short walk to this very nice city park next door. I spent a lot of time under the tiki hut in that park reading and watching people fish. A few streets away at the end of the street is a terrific place to watch the sunsets, we walked, drove or rode our bikes there many evenings. You might see that the unit is across from the Marathon airport, but it is a very small airport and there is really no noise at all from the planes there. Overall an excellent stay, and we would definitely stay here again.

A place away from home that feels like home!

It is the PERFECT Place away from home. Everything you could want is there in the home. The furnishings are extremely comfortable. The owners Alina and Bernie are the nicest of people. While I didn't have time to enjoy all of the amenities at their place it sure looked like fun. Overall I wishes I lived there full-time because it was that nice!!

Our home away from home

Turtle Cove quickly became my son's and my home away from home during our two month stay. The place was super clean with a bright vibrant decor with beautiful surroundings and lots of warm sunlight. The owners, Bernie and Alina, made sure everything we needed was provided. We cooked in often and thankful that the kitchen was well equipped. The living room had comfy couches, warm throw blankets and nice big floor pillows. Bernie and Aline also had games and puzzles at the place which came in handy during the few rainy days. I am very particular about bathrooms and was very happy that the bathroom was super clean! I also liked that there was a washer and dryer located in the master bedroom. The bedroom had a nice king-sized bed with tons of drawers for storage. The tiki hut was a very nice touch to the back of the house. I used it as my "office" since I worked from home during our stay, making all my coworkers super jealous. I had many days and nights relaxing in the tiki hut, watching a tv show (yes, there was a tv in the tiki hut!) with the two ceiling fans blowing while I sat comfortably in one of the hammock chairs. The tiki hut also had a nice farm table which my son and I often used eat a meal or to put together one of the puzzles. My absolute favorite thing about the place was being surrounded by palm trees. Coming from the north (Baltimore), this was a treat to open the shades every morning to the tropical surroundings. The location of the house was also a plus. My son took flight lessons at the Marathon airport and could easily walk to it every morning. I like to take morning walks each day and walked at the beautiful Oceanfront park that was right in front of the house. The views at this park each morning were breathtaking because it was right by the water and I could watch the sunrise. Also, being a fitness enthusiast, I was able to ride one of the two bikes provided by Bernie and Alina to the 24 hour gym. My son and I also used the bikes almost every day to go to the grocery store, a nearby restaurant or two get some ice cream. The neighbors on the other side of the VRBO were extremely nice and even offered their spare car and to go grocery shopping when we had car problems. I highly recommend Turtle Cove for your trip to the Florida Keys. I consider this my second home now since I plan to come back often. Bernie and Alina are great hosts and will make sure your stay is the best experience it can be.

Beautiful but disappointed

First off the home is absolutely beautiful and clean inside and out! One of the disappointing factors is that it is a 4 unit home not 2. The other two units are owned by someone else and they live there year around. You could hear everything, TV, music, talking, cupboards closing, toilet flushing, etc. Nice people, but not the privacy we expected and I assume they could hear us as well. The kayak was the other issue, and a big one because we expected to do a lot of kayaking. Unless you had a truck or racks on your vehicle (to transport to the park)there was no way of getting the kayak in the water. We assumed by the pictures and description we could put it in there, but there is no way of getting it down to the water. There was no ladder (which we assumed all places on the water did for safety reasons) down to the water or floating platform and it is about a 5-6 foot drop and we were not allowed to use the boat lift. This home is also very close to the airport and there was a lot of construction going on in the neighborhood as well (not the owners fault we know, just a FYI). So it wasn't as peaceful sitting outside as we hoped for. The Tiki Hut is cute and has a TV out there, so that was a plus. It does get extremely hot in the afternoon and to hot to sit out there because the sun does shine in there at the latter part of the day.The home inside was beautifully decorated, but there are no chairs to sit on. The couches are comfy to lay on but to big and overstuffed to sit on for any length of time. If you're there a week it might not be an issue, but we stayed a month. No dining chairs only benches and again not very comfy. The bed was extremely comfortable and roomy. They have quality linens and towels. The kitchen has mostly everything you need. It did not have the coffee, creamer, sugar, paper products, bottle water that it said it would. No baking sheets, storage containers for leftover foods, hot pads or broom (a Swiffer duster, but that doesn't get up crumbs), so things to bring if you think you need them. It comes with 2 bikes, which we had a lot of fun riding around, especially the park close by. My husband did have to replace one of the tires but they were kind enough to reimburse us for that. The owners are very nice and nice to deal with. If you're coming for only a week some of things might not matter and would not effect your stay. But for the extended stay and the price we paid it did for us

Fabulous home with fabulous owners

We have had the most amazing month staying in Ali and Bernies home, the pictures do not do it justice, the decor is bright and modern with all you could ever need right there for you. We had breakfast every morning on the dock under the tiki even had a manatee for company some days. The bed Is probably the best one I've ever slept in, sooooo comfy with all the linens etc you could ever need. Being British we got completely confused by the air con but Ali was easy to contact and had us sorted in seconds flat. We were delayed flying out from th UK due to hurricane Matthew and Ali was so kind to just shuffle our booking on a couple of days. Cannot recommend this home highly enough, Marathon is Marvellous location for two of the keys best beaches and right in the middle for exploring all the islands, just wish we had enough holiday to go straight back.

Perfect Anniversary Getaway

Turtle Cove was the picture perfect place to spend our anniversary for a once in a lifetime vacation in the Keys. The property is conveniently located on a quiet street in Marathon. It is on the 2nd floor of a duplex home that is accessible by an outside stairway from the parking area. The gravel parking area is large enough to accommodate two full size cars or in our case a full size SUV and a boat trailer for a 21 foot boat. The enclosed ground floor area of this side of the duplex home is used by the owners. The owners stayed there a couple of weekends during the month and checked in with us in person to ensure everything with the property was perfect. Turtle Cove is just the right size for a couple. A partial list of amenities included a full size refrigerator, stove, microwave, small appliances, washer and dryer. The furnishings and interior of the home is immaculate. The deep water canal and boat lift added convenience and enjoyment to the trip. The canal opens straight out into the Atlantic Ocean through the reef. As owners, Bernie and Alina have done a wonderful job renovating the home and making this a beautifully unique retreat. They were exceptional hosts who made us feel at home in this tropical paradise. Five stars all the way. We enjoyed every day in this home and would not hesitate to stay again should we ever get the chance.
