Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Marathon Florida Keys

10/10 Excellent

"We had a good time"

Cabins at Bonefish Bay

10/10 Excellent

"Excelente"

Oceanside waterfront 2/2 home with 55ft dock and paddle equipment

10/10 Excellent

"The host is a fantastic communicator.Before booking the rental I asked her two or three questions about the property and every time she answered my questions in about 5 minutes. After arriving at the rental I had a question and again she immediately responded. Before deciding on this property I was originally interested in a different house and asked the host two questions about the property and never received a reply.The house itself was beautiful and well stocked with everything we needed for our one week stay. The home was exactly as described in the narrative and in the online pictures. I rented a boat for the week we were there and the dock was well constructed and perfect for the boat. The hosts even furnished a couple of rods and reels and my grandchildren were thrilled with the fish they caught in the canal.Thank you for making our week in the Keys enjoyable and memorable"
