I couldn’t give a better rating than 100 percent awesome. We have spent our family vacations in the keys for over 40 summers. This place was the entire package. Because of the hurricane we left our boats home. And still had a wonderful vacation. ##### Sherry G. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris G. 10 Mar 2025 ##### Chris G.

Can’t say enough good things about this house! Perfect layout for a large group. We had 15 people (8 adults, 7 kids ages 7-10). Plenty of space to spread out. Loved the pool and outdoor space. House was clean and comfortable. Property management was responsive and easy to work with. Great experience! 👍 ##### Holly M.

Vacationed to celebrate 50th birthdays at this home with a group of 12. The property was well equipped and suited our group very well. The house is large and inviting. We were able to walk to Sombrero beach which is very nice! Rooms are comfortable. The pool is in a great location giving you half sun/shade throughout the day. There is a nice seating area adjacent to the pool with a large TV that we all enjoyed. Outdoor freezer fridge on the other side of the home is nice. Unfortunately there was an issue with fridge alarming so we couldn’t use it but it was not a big deal. Used a cooler to fill with refreshments and ice from the ice maker. We had a great vacation and we definitely consider this house again! Had a visiting Manatee on our last day. Very nice vacation rental! ##### Trevor W.

We had 4 families (15 adults and 5 little ones) and it wasn't crowded at all, plenty of space for everyone. The second story was perfect for my sister with 3 children under the age of 3. The men went deep sea fishing and caught 40 black fin tuna, so the outside freezer worked great. After being through a Michigan winter, most of our time was spent by the pool and outside patio, so having the outdoor fridge and television was perfect. We loved everything about this property. ##### Paula C.

We began our vacation planning as a 10 year wedding anniversary trip for my husband and I and it quickly turned in to a trip to the Keys for the entire family! 14 of us (including 4 younger ones) stayed at this house for a week during spring break and it was absolutely gorgeous. The hangout area under the house and the pool got so much use daily by everyone. We rented a 3 person kayak for the week that we kept docked there and used it up and down the canals seeing manatees, a crocodile, cranes and lots of jellyfish! The house was large enough to accommodate everyone comfortably, giving us room to be together and spread out when needed as well. We will absolutely rent this home again in the future! ##### Michelle S. This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Rob P. 4 Feb 2017 #### Beautiful home on a canal in Marathon. My wife and I stayed for a week with 7 of our friends. The house had plenty of room for us to spread out and enjoy. The bathrooms were beautiful, huge flat panel TVs everywhere including outside in the seating area next to the heated pool and jacuzzi and the house was clean and well maintained. The property manager was very accommodating and responsive. We will most likely vacation in the Keys again next year and will stay in this house again if it is available. ##### Rob P.

I spent the week with my family and we had a blast! The rooms were extremely comfortable and the downstairs space was just amazing with the pool and spa! I loved the rain head in the master bathrooms. Sombrero is such a beautiful and quiet neighborhood. Perfect week with the family and look forward to going back next year! GG and Fam! ##### Vonda G.

As the travel coordinator for a group of thirteen friends, I was charged with finding a vacation rental that would accommodate our large group. Fortunately, with the help of Bonnie Sanderson, I was able to rent a home seven bedroom/five bathroom in Marathon that was close to Sombrero Beach. Bonnie was very helpful, staying in contact and working with me on the dates needed for our adventures. The house proved to be all we expected and more! The house was very clean, with a large enough kitchen to cook meals, televisions in each bedroom, beautiful outdoor spaces and lovely pool. The canal was clean and perfect for having a boat. With good fortune, we can return for another stay. I will absolutely use Bonnie's services again. ##### Pat B.

We wen't with our family and had an amazing experience at this luxurious and cozy property. It was near all the best restaurants in the area in a quiet and beautiful neighborhood. I would definitely return or recommend to friends and family!

We had a total of 13 people. The layout of the house, with multiple bedrooms and bathrooms on two floors, nicely accommodated the large number of people. The common areas were spacious which also facilitated a large group of people. It is a beautiful home. All of the rooms were very clean and nicely decorated. It had all of the amenities one would need. It has a great location on a canal with a well kept pier that allowed us to rent a boat for three days. The pool area is beautiful and used to the fullest by 5 grandchildren. A nice feature was that we could set the water temperature to any desired level. A previous home we rented limited the pool temperature to 80 degrees, which particularly in the evenings in November was a little too cool for many of the guests, particularly the children. This house is now our first choice for a Florida Key rental. ##### Raymond W.

Everyone loved the house. The views, the pool, the amenities - they all made such a difference. The property manager was very helpful and responsive to all my questions. She was also quite accommodating with our requests. We truly had a wonderful and relaxing time in this place. ##### Kemi B.

Perfect Vacation Get-Away This house was FANTASTIC and Bonnie Sanderson was very friendly and helpful! :) I would give this house a 5-star for sure! I was super excited about the 3 master bedrooms all with private bay doors that went out onto the large decks, and huge showers! The other bedrooms and bathrooms were very nice as well! The house was very clean and pleasant upon arrival! It accommodated our group very comfortably! The lounge area by the pool and hot tub was perfect for chilling, grilling, and eating while watching the kids swim and play! One of my reasons for choosing this house was the hot tub, and it was Well worth it! If you don't want to eat out every meal, the kitchen is fully equipped with anything you need. There is an extra fridge and upright freezer downstairs if you need the extra room! (Also a separate bait freezer and ice maker) We didn't have a boat, but if you did, the dock is great for docking! A manatee and her calf swam up to the dock while we were there and said hi! ;) We rented bikes and were able to bike to the grocery store (Publix, WinnDixie, or KMart) or to the public beach (about 6 min to the beach)! (Sombrero Beach is the nicest beach in the area IMO). The area is very nice with lots of restaurants and shopping. The ride to Key West was beautiful and just over an hour away! I would totally recommend the house and location to anyone looking for a relaxing beautiful stay in the keys! :) We are already talking about our trip back next year! ##### Sarah M.

There is a tremendous amount of space, with numerous common areas with big screen TV's, great furnishings, gorgeous bathrooms, and the outdoor environment is exceptional. We will definitely be renting this property again in the future. ##### Donald P.

I stayed with my brother in law and friends and let me just say "WOW" this house was awesome! I have rented many houses in the keys and this house by far was the best. There is room for the whole family and the space was amazing. You will not be disappointed that's for sure. See y'all next year! Thx. John ##### John B.
