This property is just as it looks. The home is well decorated and cared for. Beds are comfortable. Pool is perfect. The cabana provides lovely sits in the shade while taking in the view. Our family of 5 loved it. Kids swam, fished the canal, enjoyed several visits from manatees. Highly recommend!

We really enjoyed our stay. It is a great location with the park down the street. The house is very comfortable. The property manager is very responsive. We had an issue with the pool and it was quickly resolved. The second fridge in the garage is a bonus. We would like to come back again.

Paradise in Marathon

We had an amazing time staying at the waterfront Keys cottage! The home was nicely updated, comfortable beds, clean and had all the supplies we needed, LOVED the pool and tiki hut and having our boat our back was even better! Only a few houses away from the Ocean! We had several friendly visitors every morning and afternoon- MANATEES! Hosts were very responsive. If we had a question, they responded right away! We were sad to leave and will definitely be back next year! (We didn’t take a lot of photos bc we were too busy relaxing!) The Keys is our ‘Happy Place’!
Chasing Sunsets!
A short boat ride to the 7-mile bridge!
Our manatee visitors! They were sooo cute!

Great Keys Home

This is a great "Keys" house for 2 families. A total of 8 people, ages 10 to 45. We had plenty of room inside and out. Washer & dryer worked great. All the beds we're ever comfortable. And kitchen was equipped with everything we needed. The pool was extra nice especially because the ocean was too cold to enjoy since we where there for New Years. We brought our own boat which is a must for us. I dont think I would even want to go without one. Boat Rentals are everywhere there. The fishing was great. We saw a ton of dolphin while out fishing and a Manatee showed up on our last day. He was huge! Which made our trip that much worth it. We went to eat by boat at Burdines. I highly recommend this place. It was delicious. I wouldn't change a thing. Rhonda was wonderful to work with. I couldn't ask for anyone better. Thanks again for letting us rent your home. 😍

The house overall was wonderful just some minor housekeeping issues. Make sure you bring toilet paper and paper towels and if you have more than four people, make sure you bring additional wash clothes and laundry detergent other than that the house was wonderful. The tiki bar is absolutely amazing to enjoy meals underneath.

Perfect Keys house for a Perfect Keys Vacation

This property was extremely clean and well appointed. The pool was perfect to cool off and relax in. The HUGE covered patio was the STAR of the trip. There was always a cool breeze to be enjoyed under the shade of the enormous lanai! The owners were super helpful, friendly and down to earth. We WILL be back!

The keys!

This house is a very nice place to stay. It is clean and in good condition. The owners were great to deal with. The location was great for boating with quick access to the ocean (just follow the well marked stakes through the shallows and you will be fine with any sized boat). We will definitely be back!
