Enjoyed our visit to the Keys
The entire family thoroughly enjoyed our first visit to the Florida Keys. We rented the property for a total of 21 days which met the needs of our extended family rather nicely. Units one thru five are described as "Water View." However, if a view of the water is desired, you should consider units one thru three. At times, it was a challenge to access the north bound lane of U.S. Hwy1 from the location due to heavy traffic. The kayaks were a very nice amenity as was the private pool which was very clean. Were it not for the distance from Miami airport and the volume of traffic, we would definitely stay at Keys Cove again.

Great memories made!
Very clean and comfortable space for our family of 8(3 young adult children and their significant others and my hubby and me). Having 3 bathrooms for 8 was soooo incredibly helpful!! The private pool was a great plus and we utilized it daily(it was a tad warm since it’s small and it’s always hot in the Keys so that was expected). Kayaks, life vests, and paddles on site were awesome. There’s no walk in access into the waters but a patch of rocks that you can use to drop kayaks in the water and get out fairly easily. Very much enjoyed having this amenity. Very conveniently located to everything. House 1 &2 don’t have a nice view of anything from the patio unfortunately but we still had a great time. House 6,7,8 have a balcony view of the docks, beach area, and Gulf. Ours had most kitchenware that we needed with an exception of a large skillet for cooking for 8 and a baking sheet but we brought our own. Our unit had a blender, hair dryers, iron and plenty of outlets. We brought extra TP, paper towels, trash bags, dishwasher pods and laundry pods. They had enough of everything though for a smaller family or a shorter stay. Would have liked having another nightstand or small table on both sides of the beds and a small mirror in the bedrooms so people can get ready in the bedroom rather than using bathroom space for only mirror. Overall- it was a top notch space for us and we loved Marathon and our Keys vacation even more since we could all be together in the same house.

Well maintained property and unit.
Stayed here for one week in late February and loved it. The location is only a block from US 1, so there was some traffic noise. On the other hand, it was within walking distance to restaurants, close to 7 Mile Bridge, and other attractions. The beach area isn't much, but it is right on property. If booking, only three units have a sea view, so be specific if that's what you want. Our unit was in very good shape and well stocked and maintained. Best of all was the responsiveness of the management; they brought two extra beach chairs for us and well as providing a couple of fishing poles to use at no extra charge.

Great Getaway!!!
Was supposed to be a cruise vacation but we got cancelled. Stayed for a week - no one was disappointed! Turned out to be a great vacation!!! Loved the location in Marathon and the water/dock area. The kayaks were a bonus!!! The house was great! Our visit was made even more enjoyable by Barbara. She was there for anything that was needed and we enjoyed meeting her!!!!! If ever in the keys again will definitely try to book here again. :)

Family Vacation
We booked at keys cove to be able to have a large portion of our family with us. The house was beautiful. The staff were right there for anything we needed. They gave us info on places in the area to checkout. . Check in and out were quick and easy. We definitely enjoyed being able to spend time with our families. Some of the things that were not so pleasant was the garbage that sat out in the hot sun for a couple days. The smell was overwhelming. The Staff did come and take care of the area as soon as the garbage was removed(lobster season). And when we arrived there were still food items left in the cabinets from previous guests. The staff came right over cleaned and disinfected the area. When I made the booking I thought we would be in a unit over looking the water. We were not. That could have been my fault or it could have been the listing either way it wasn’t to big of a deal. It’s only a two minute walk to the docks. Overall we enjoyed ourselves and if we ever get the opportunity we will be back.

Our stay in Marathon was wonderful. The house was perfect for 8 people. Having our own pool and access to a semi-private boat dock made the vacation even better.
