Come relax and enjoy the convenience, seclusion, and comfort of our canal front, one level, "Twin Dolphin" home in the heart of the Florida Keys and Marathon, Florida at Mile Marker 48.5! With no neighbors on either side of the home, this is the ideal spot for personal space at our 100 foot wide lot in the middle of the Keys! The mangrove trails of Boot Key are only a 10 minute paddle from the backyard in the 2 provided kayaks. Twin Dolphin is situated on a wide, deep water, canal less than 200 yards from Boot Key Harbour, home to the ever popular Burdines and Chiki Tiki Grill. With plenty of dockage for your boat (up to 40') and space at the house to park your boat trailer, and just around the corner by water from the beginning of the famous Seven Mile Bridge, this is truly a vacationer’s paradise. Sombrero Reef, with its crystal clear water, is a snorklers and divers delight which can be reached in a very short boat ride from Twin Dolphin! Bring your own boat, rent one here or charter a fishing or dive/snorkel trip. The options are truly endless! Beautiful Sombrero Beach is just a kayak paddle away through Boot Key Harbor in one of the 2 provided kayaks. Closer to home, in the canal front backyard you can clean your day's catch waterside at our fish cleaning station, wash away the heat and salt of the day in our private outdoor shower and settle in for some relaxation or swimming in our 16' heated (or not!), jetted swimming pool spa. The shade of the tiki hut is a perfect setting to enjoy your morning coffee, your nightcap, and everything in between! And of course, the waterside hammock under the coconut palms is the ideal location for those much needed siestas! For the more energetic, you can drop the provided kayaks in the water and explore Boot Key and the surrounding canals. You're likely to see Manatee, Dolphin and a wide range of fish and other wildlife! Indoors, you'll find Twin Dolphin very accommodating for your vacation needs and comfort. The amply supplied kitchen provides everything you should require for preparing the simplest to the extravagant meal. With granite countertops and plenty of workspace, looking out to the beautiful patio and beyond to the water should make "kitchen duty" a breeze! The Twin Dolphin dining table seats 6 in our cheerful sun/dining room; however, most opt for meals under the TikiHut. The living area is perfect for air conditioned relaxation while enjoying your favorite shows or sporting events on the new 60" television with DISH TV programming and internet capability. The 2 bedrooms feature queen size beds, plenty of closet and drawer space, and one is equipped with an internet capable television with DISH TV and a built in DVD player. The full bathroom has a tub/shower combination. There is also a comfy new queen size sleeper sofa in the living area for additional sleep space. The washer and dryer allow you to pack less and return home with clean clothes! The bait freezer is for your use during your stay as well. And rest assured, the home has central air conditioning for reprieve from your tropical vacation! Located at Mile Marker 48.5, on a quiet residential street directly off of Highway One (The Overseas Highway), we're in the perfect spot for walking or bicycling as we're less than a mile from Publix, West Marine, the 33rd Street Public Boat Ramp, Walgreens, Home Depot, and a large variety of restaurants, including ocean front grills and bars! Twin Dolphin truly couldn't be in a more convenient location by land or water. Come explore the Florida Keys at your home away from home, Twin Dolphin! Please note, our home is a well constructed single family home with a yard and trees! Be sure to do your homework as many listings are modular/mobile homes situated on concrete slabs with no yard and the next mobile home just an arms length away. There will be no unpleasant surprises if you decide to vacation at Twin Dolphin!

Clean and tidy. We enjoyed our two weeks here very much. If we were to have any criticism at all it would be that the view from the property was excluded due to the big boat being in the way. The greenery around the spa pool also needed to be trimmed back to make it easier to get in and out but this is just a minor point. Overall we would recommend this property to anyone wishing to have a holiday in Marathon ##### Teresa R.

This house was amazing. The beds were comfy. We spent so much time on the back porch and I loved spending the mornings on the hammock. The canal was perfect, we saw about 2 manatees a day and a dolphin one evening. My husband loved having his boat out behind the house so he could wake up and go fishing every morning. We will stay again. ##### Katie M.

The place is exactly as it is described on VRBO. It was close to many awesome spots, although walkers take your life in your hands on the highway. Beds were comfortable but small for queens. Great dock to fish and people watch and the swim spa was great! Only 2 small beefs… there was never enough hot water and the cleaning crew working outside filled every trash can leaving us no place to put checkout trash. . ##### Tim W.

This home is absolutely perfect! Although it was hot during our stay, the breeze in the back kept it cool! The swimspa was great to dip in and cool off. The best part was being able to kayak with six manatees that came straight to the canal! We saw nurse shark, dolphin, barracuda, and a large variety of other fish. The location is perfect. Everything was perfect! We will be coming back. ##### Jamie C.

The house is immaculately clean and the outdoor space is amazing. We spent a lot of time sitting under the tiki hut enjoying the rustling palm trees, fish popping up in the canal as well as the manatees swimming in the canal. We also enjoyed the provided kayaks and spent several hours exploring the harbor and canals. The location was great and we were able to enjoy many of the activities of the keys. The host communication was great and answered all our questions prior to our arrival with the packet she sent us. I would highly recommend this vacation rental. ##### Marianne Z.

The house is immaculately clean, the outdoor living space makes the house seem larger. I spent a lot of time on my laptop under the tiki hut next to the hot tub.

The property was very nice and clean, this property also had fun relaxing features as well as a nice place to stay. The property is right on the canal and has a very large hot tub to use witch was very relaxing, also a lot of nice sand between the canal and house witch allowed our little boy a nice play area. Also you could fish on the canal if you would like to. Overall a very nice property and my family and I had a great vacation! ##### Jason L.

This gem is perfectly situated whether you just want a great waterfront view to relax or boat access and fishing fun! We enjoyed a wonderful 5 days of the warmest and most beautiful weather that you can get in Florida at this time of the year! We also visited Sombrero Beach often, took our boat out every day to fish and cruise around, and ended every evening grilling by the tiki hut and relaxing in the hot-tub. What a lovely time all around. ##### Annie R.

We highly recommend this property. It was seriously the cleanest rental we've ever stayed in. We appreciated the very responsive and clear communications from the host - everything was completely seamless. Such a great, comfortable, well equipped home. The hot tub and tiki hut are fantastic! We also loved the kayaks and extra nice touches such as beach supplies (chairs, towels and bag), ample charging stations for devices, etc. We didn't bring our boat this time, but definitely plan to return and will likely bring a boat! Can't say enough about this terrific home. ##### Mary M.

The house was very clean and being able to relax in the backyard under the tiki hut and going in the swim spa was really enjoyable. The only downside that we had was that we didn’t know the house across the street had access to the right of the property and they could see everything we did while we were outside so it lacked privacy, just would of been nice to know that or if there was some kind of screening in between yards so you didn’t see one another. ##### Steven S.

This was our first time renting a property to stay instead of a hotel. I’m so glad we did! Kathy was so amazing! She is prompt with any questions I had (and I had many!). The property was very clean and just as advertised. The swim spa was utilized every night. It is in a wonderful location next to the canal and around all types of activities and stores. You can’t go wrong booking with Kathy and the properties she has. She also has a beautiful home right across the street (so if a couple of families are going that would be perfect!). Would definitely book another stay. The only downside is I’m now back in Pa where it is cold. Thanks again for an amazing time. ##### Megan S.

If you love to fish this is about perfect. Sit out back and fish all you want. Its a football field length away from the open water. Also the location is super close to 7 mile bridge which is best place to see sunrise/sunsets, Pigeon Key etc. Also close to Burdines and Castaways ,my 2 fav restaurants on the island. Kathy is super organized and easy to reach and thought of everything anyway so the home was clean welcoming and nicely decorated. We enjoyed ourselved, it was our 20th Anniversary trip but we will be back! Thanks Kathy! ##### Charlotte H.

Communication was top notch from the minute we inquired about renting up until our departure. House is exactly as described. Cute (very clean) older home that fit our needs perfectly. We loved being on the canal where we saw lots of different wildlife. The guys enjoyed fishing on the canal where they caught a nurse shark, snapper and tarpon. Bonus was that the canal was very quiet with very little boat traffic. We didn't rent a boat for multiple days, but if we would have the dock would have been great for tying up a boat. Dryer decided to quit working the day before our departure (of no fault of the owner's) and within an hour she had her service guy out. By the end of the day we had a new dryer. House was great and was lacking nothing. If we are ever back in the Keys we will most definitely rent from Kathy again and look forward to our stay at Twin Dolphin. ##### Lisa L.
