The location was great and we loved being right on the water. The access to kayaks was amazing and we saw several iguanas on the property and some really cool parrot fish! Communication with the host was great as well as with the property manager Debbie. Check-in and check-out went smoothly.I only put it at 4 stars because there were a few things that weren't working which you would expect to. One half of the duplex is much newer than the other- the older duplex had one shower that barely dripped out any water, the shade in one of the bedrooms was completely torn, and in the other duplex the garbage disposal did not work. We managed without these things totally fine, but obviously would've been ideal to not have any issues. Overall would stay here again and would recommend to large families trying to have a vacay in the keys! ##### Abby R.

The manatee came one day which was one of the highlights of the trip. Three different manatee (we named each). A neighbor told us to give them water. They were adorable! We also saw a spotted ray in the cove and a turtle was a daily visitor as well. ##### Sherri D.

We rented both sides of the duplex. Plenty of space for all- we had 9 adults and 2 children. We brought 2 boats with us. Plenty of dock area with hoses for washing the boats and equipment off. We really enjoyed the view, as well as the wildlife that we saw in the cove: we saw manatees, tarpon, Iguanas, and turtles galore! Great sunsets. Close to everything. The owner sent a list of restaurants, shopping and things to do that was very helpful. Would stay here again!!! ##### Judith P. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Jamie L. 6 Aug 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family trip We had a great time on our trip but traveling with kids I thought they would be able to cool off/swim in the cove but due to it not having a big opening/a lot off clean water flow through it there was dead fish heads and bodies from near by homes cleaning then throwing it into the cove. This wasn’t a huge deal but I probably would have book another place since the kids didn’t really want to swiM in the cove. The road noise is pretty loud in the morning and located right next to airport. The cars where actually disrupting our sleep more then the planes. The duplex was clean and comfortable. Great location to restaurants and boat dock only 2 min away. We saw a lot of sea turtles in the cove and tarpon. ##### Jamie L. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Kendra K. 2 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful outside setting, no need to leave! This property has the best water setting we've stayed at in years. We love to fish and just enjoy being outside in the weather. The hammock was great for Grandma and the seating was plenty. However, I would have loved a recliner to sleep in :) Don't forget your bug spray (common for Florida). We enjoyed manatees and the local loggerhead turtle. My husband caught a few regulation size fish. Marathon is a great location as there are fish markets and grocery stores close by. An hour drive to Key West and 20 minutes to Bahia Honda. The only draw back was it is right across the street from the Marathon airport, which we knew. For those light sleepers, such as myself, it was difficult as they do helicopter tours from there which don't end until 11 pm. Planes started as early as 6 am. We still felt it the lagoon setting was worth the noise. ##### Kendra K.

There is plenty of room to spread out and the view! The view is amazing! The best location to do whatever you wanted. Houses were clean and fully equipped for all of your needs. Sea wall was wonderful! We tied up both boats and was so easy to get on and off. Had a nice storage room to keep all our boat stuff and a “stinky” bait freezer! Lol. It’s a bait refrigerator and freezer! What would anyone expect but stinky’. Can’t say enough about this place. The manatees hang out. When one is Coming down the canal the people down the canal echo manatees are coming! So exciting! We caught fish! We used the awesome kayaks that were provided! Pictures are great but can’t do enough justice for this place! We will be back! ##### Linda J.

The location is extremely convenient and so easy to access the water without having to deal with chaos of Vaca cut. The duplex easily accommodated our 28 foot boot for the week, with no issues to dock our boat. The houses are divided so provided privacy to all guests. We all enjoyed meeting for coffee in the morning or cocktails in the evening under the house that provided a great entertaining space. There were ample amount of towels and linens. The kitchens were comfortably stocked and provided everything we needed and more. We made breakfast in the house and lots of appetizers. While we had 10 adults, this would also be a good unit to use with older kids. We had easy access by car to several of our favorite restaurants in town and just a short drive for day adventure to Key West. The owners were extremely responsive while booking, before our reservation began and even while we were enjoying our vacation. We had an absolute great time, and definitely would love to stay here again. ##### sarah h.

We had a wonderful vacation and enjoyed our stay but there were some frustration and I believe that the owner just needs to be aware of some of the issues. The 2 major issues were that the doors did not lock properly. One of duplex’s did not lock at all so every day we put our valuables in the car to lock them up. The other main issue was that the dock as it was unsafe, especially with young children and could be a potential liability for the owner. We were told that it was from recent storm damage, but it is clearly from neglect as all other docks in the area are in perfect shape. We were almost not able to rent a boat as they came over to inspect and said that it has been neglected. As far as the inside of the duplex’s it is mostly cosmetic neglect, lack of cooking utensils and supplies. It is a shame because it is a beautiful property and lagoon but is just in desperate need of repair. It has the potential to be a great property but right now we would not stay there again. ##### April S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher K., Fort Worth, USA 29 Dec 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful Time The house location was perfect. We had the most wonderful view. We had lots of sea life visit us daily. Mannie the Manatee as my wife and kids named him, visited us every morning. The Tarpon were very lively. Mr. & Mrs. Pelican stopped by often. A white crane stopped to hangout while fishing off the back dock. The houses were perfect for us, a family of ten that came to stay. Plenty of room and the outside area was what we loved most. My kids took the kayaks out a few times which they really loved. All in all a great location to everything and will definitely be back. ##### Christopher K.

There was plenty of room for everyone to be together or spread out. The views were amazing. There was so much to do if you wanted to be active. From the bikes to the kayaks, fishing, swimming, and just looking at the stars at night. It was a wonderful time! ##### Jennifer L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joell B., Macon, Georgia, USA 13 Jun 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Comfortable duplex in paradise Overall this was a wonderful place. It was comfortable and fairly spacious. It actually is two separate apartments and is great for two families. There isn’t a connector between the two, so it did make it a little difficult going from one side to the other, but it wasn’t too big of a deal. Aside from a few minor things, it had everything we needed. All of the beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels and such. The dishwasher was a bit old and didn’t always wash the dishes well, but it was alright. The location was great as well. The sounds of the airport wasn’t too bad and the location on the water was perfect. It’s on Gulf side and has great access to the open water without having to go down a canal. We were able to tie up our boat right next to the house and easily go out into the Gulf. It was a great place that I’d recommend. ##### Joell B. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2021 ---
