Waterfront home with dock, pool table & private pool - walk to Sombrero Beach

The Anchor House

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

It's all about the outdoor living at this lovely, central Keys getaway! Your home away from home on Marathon features a private boat dock, pool, and pool table - and you’re walking distance to Sombrero Beach. Start your day on your wraparound deck, iced coffee in hand, enjoying that lovely water view. Take your time - you’re in the Keys, so there’s no rush. Back inside, whip up breakfast in your open, well-equipped kitchen, complete with all the gadgets and appliances you’ll need. There’s a dining area for six, but why not eat outside if it’s nice (and it probably is). If you’re leaving for the day, you can walk to the beach, fishing and boat charter outfitters, a marina, and restaurants. But why would you leave when you have a private resort right downstairs? Let your pup play in the enclosed yard of this dog-friendly home while you while away the afternoon in the pool or swing in one of the two hammocks. The mixologist of the group can use the downstairs, outdoor kitchen to whip up some boat drinks, and you can challenge them to a game of pool when they’re done. Want to spend the day on the boat? No problem - you’ve got that private dock and access to a shared boat launch. Bring home your catch and clean it on the fish-cleaning table, or take one of the home’s available kayaks for a spin. When it’s time to call it a night, settle in back upstairs on the comfy couch and flip on the TV - or head back out to that deck and enjoy the view.

THINGS TO KNOW
Seven-day minimum stay
The boat launch is shared with 10 other homes in the area.

We had a great stay at this home. I agree with other reviewers that it could definitely use some work. We still thoroughly enjoyed our trip. The location is perfect, it was close to the grocery store and was less than 5 minutes from the dock to open ocean on the boat. The canal is shallow but handles our 25 ft boat with no problems. Just be sure to drive slow and stay in the channel. We also had a manatee visit our dock!! The first night it was late but we wanted to cook something and found there was no propane. No big deal, I contacted the host and didn’t expect anything but within 30 minutes they came by and delivered 2 new tanks. We are hoping to plan another trip and would absolutely stay at this home again.

The listing stated only one camera at the entry door, however there were many more. This is really intrusive to me. I won't recommend this place because of it. The ceiling was in awful shape, the beds had impressions in them and the living room furniture was uncomfortable. I have rented many homes in the area and this was a 2 1/2 star out of 5 stars. We had a good time but, house needs a make over. I felt like I had to roll uphill in the bed. The house is in a corner where grasses and sea muck gather and it really stinks at low tide. I understand why others have complained about it. We enjoyed our stay only because we can make the best out of an OK home.

Don’t be fooled. It looks beautiful in pictures, but they don’t give you all the information. Behind the property the dock is basically unusable. There is a large amount of seaweed in the cove that have a rotten egg smell that is overwhelming. They say it is seasonal, but it’s a lie. We talked to a couple full time residents that live in the same cove and they said it never clears up and the smell is always there. We stayed there for a full week and it never cleared up. There is also a LARGE amount of garbage floating in the cove and around the house and on the boat ramp. You are basically surrounded by sewage. We couldn’t even fish off the dock because all you hook is seaweed or garbage. We couldn’t use the ramp to put our jetskis or kayak in because of all the seaweed and garbage. It smells so bad we were afraid to even get the water on our skin. Listing it as having a usable dock for fishing and sports is a lie! Beware, the lower level by the pool table and pool is extremely slippery. My kids slipped and fell multiple times just walking! You will need bug spray for early morning and evenings, but that’s just Florida. The living area was nice though. It was clean, large supply of towels, beach towels. Not a bad view from inside, but once you go out onto the top porch you are slapped in the face with the smell. They don’t say anything about the smell or seaweed in original listing. The only thing I’d suggest about the inside is a newer oven. Current one takes forever to heat

Infested with Termites Disgusting

My family of four spent a day packing, then a day traveling with a 27 foot catamaran and Waverunner only to arrive to a property infested with termites. We arrived late on check-in day and saw what we thought were moths flying around the light above dining room table. The next morning we woke up to find a pile of wings on the dining room table along with a few small (what we thought were) bugs. It appeared that the live bugs were gone so we agreed we’d keep an eye out for more issues but didn’t know what wings on the table meant (i.e. termites). The next day when we returned to the property after boating I prepared dinner in the kitchen as the sun went down and we went to sit on the porch. Then as it got dark outside, we went into the property to find termites swarming all the light fixtures in the house as well as crawling all over the paper towels and our stuff in the kitchen, including the kitchen table, on the stove and dinner plates. Anytime we turned lights on they swarmed the lights. We messaged the property and didn’t hear anything until the next morning. There wasn’t a property to relocate us to so we had to pack our things and drive all the way back to Tampa on Memorial Day, the traffic turned o 6 hour drive into an 11 hour drive. The trip was refunded but lost a week of vacation that we were looking forward to for months. They said they didn’t know about the termites but the infestation was severe and I don’t believes they didn’t know .NEVER AGAIN

Not as advertised

This property is not as advertised. It is very run down, has a mice problem, and had a code violation posted by the city on the home during our stay. We spent multiple days and sleepless nights dealing with an exterminator. No other viable properties available for us to move to. Total disaster. Too long of a list of maintenance issues. ,

Great Mini Season

Our stay at the Anchor House was great. We came for mini season and trailered our 24ft boat. Having the boat ramp next to the house is a huge convenience and handled our truck and trailer without issue. Plenty of parking for multiple vehicles and trailers. The canal leading out to open water is 2-3 feet at low tide though narrow, reasonably marked with buoys and two reflective markers, easy run out to the reef. The outdoor space is very good, lots of outdoor seating, nice pool, grill and outdoor kitchen is functional. The billiard table on the patio is nice, kids had a great time playing on it. The house/decorations is a little on the older side but very homey and comfortable. AC nice and cold, beds were great. Kitchen was well appointed, had everything we needed. Would definitely consider staying at again.

Relaxing trip in The Keys

We loved the house! The sea weed was a little to much by the dock. We couldn't see any sea life. Loved the pool. Beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked. The one thing they need is beach chairs. Would of been nice to have when we went to the beach. Weve stayed where other houses have them. Very close to Publix and Winn Dixie. Coast to Coast pizza is delicious and right by Publix. Also love Key Fisheries. Brought back dips to snack on at night. Enjoy your time when you rent this house!

Amazing service and great holiday spot

We really enjoyed the place - very clean and spacious with beach and grocery stores close without the hassle of going back onto highway traffic. We rented bikes which were handy to tour the area and get to the beach. The kayaks provided got lots of use. We called Vacasa property services on a Sunday and reported minor issues with closet door and balcony door - we weren't looking for immediate service but an hour later we had a friendly handyman named Adam who looked after things - not used to that response - usually you wait on a 1-800 number for a long time to get someone but the immediate response is a rare thing these days.

Great stay in Marathon

We enjoyed our stay at the Anchor House. The house felt very clean, the bed was comfy, we enjoyed having the extra beach towels, and we loved the pool and fishing from the dock. The gravel drive was a tough on the dogs feet, but they seemed to enjoy their stay too. Our only disappointment was that the outside TV didn't work and we had lots of frustration with getting the keypad/house lock to work consistently. Otherwise - we had a great stay.
