Text responses were always immediate from staff including Lauren, April, Mikkel and Alana. Shout out to Alana for 10 out of 10 customer service all week long....with a smile every time we interacted. April graciously let us tour an empty property for our next stay. Sara and Chef were attentive at the pool bar and very easy to talk to. The property is top shelf and all of the employees are even better. We can’t wait to return!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived and the check in was very smooth. Our house was ready, and very clean. The grounds are very well kept and the staff friendly and helpful. We fished on the local bridges and even caught some keeper caravel jack fish.. Brought them back to the fish cleaning tables at Marlin bay and cleaned them. The next night we took them to the Tiki Bar down the road and had them prepared. We enjoyed the pool and game area everyday, in between site seeing and fishing. Our week went by very quickly . We had 4 adults and 2 children with us and there was plenty of room ..

Luxury resort in Marathon

The house and the resort are spotless. The house is very nicely decorated and furnished. The resort, marina, club house and pool area are very well taken care of. The area is quiet and the staff are responsive and pleasant. The only downside is that the neighborhood is industrial and you need a car to get anywhere.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: You can't say enough about this condo! It's situated in a beautifully maintained resort environment around a large pool with bar services. The house is quite large and very well outfitted, with large comfortable rooms, a well stocked kitchen, and is very modern and clean in feel. It exceeded our expectations! And Marathon is a great location, there are lots of local's bar and restaurants within walking distance, and a short drive to the grocery store. The Sombrero beach is beautiful!
