Sunny’s Paradise is a top notch property. The owners have taken great pride in finishing and furnishing the interior. We had a great time, we rented a boat and fished the Gulf and Atlantic sides. The location is great for land attractions too and is within walking distance of US 1 where you’ll find the best Cuban coffee at LJ’s and a Walgreens for those items you forgot at home.
Great property!! This house was cleaner than some high end resorts. Wonderful location and all the amenities. We brought our boat and had more than enough room, the bait freezer was a huge bonus. Such a wonderful experience! Highly recommended:)
This property was very clean and appeared to be recently remodeled. The beds were comfortable and the kids loved the bunk beds. Very nice master shower. The location was great and was a short ride to the canal. There is a boat ramp down the road that’s 25 in and 25 out. No complaints. Would definitely recommend.

Very Nice
The house was very nice and clean. Perfect location and very quite neighborhood. We towed a 26 twin vee and had just enough room to park in the driveway without the truck hooked up. Dock space was very nice as well. I would definitely book this house again as long as we don't want a pool.
Property as described.completely updated. Very comfortable. Appreciate the outside bait freezer. Nice access to gulf side and not too far from Vaca cut for ocean access

Superb location and accomodations
We were thrilled to arrive and find a lovely rental...the water way is spectacular with easy boating access to the gulf. Our first day we saw sea turtles and manatee, plus parrot fish at the dock...Home is well laid out and has all the necessities needed to cook. Plenty of sleeping space with clean linens and towels...Home was spotless upon arrival. We rented kayaks...if you plan to go to beach, bring your own beach chairs...They give starter supplies, but you will need laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent and dryer sheets. Beds were comfy...nicely decorated...thank you for a wonderful week, we will be returning!
Property was as described, clean & fully equipped kitchen to cook meals. We had enough dockage for two boats 26’ and 18’. Outside chest freezer was nice to store extra bags of ice. Only recommendation is the property owner needs to provide a full size broom so, the landscaping pebbles can be swept off the walkways. Other than that everything met our expectations & we would book again if we were to stay in Marathon.
My husband and dog stayed here. They were nice enough to increase the size limit of my dog (65 pounds). We brought our boat and had plenty of room on the dock and for truck and trailer parking. The live bait boat even came down the canal. The location and view is beautiful. I caught my first nurse shark off of the dock. The rocks are a little hard on the paws (and human feet). This is a hurricane proof house which means there are 18 concrete stairs....you definately get a work out and you don't want to forget anything. The only complaint would be the inconsistant water temperature with the kitchen sink & the shower. We had a wonderful stay and appreciate the fact they made an exception for my dog. Communication was great. I would highly recommend this place.
The house was great and very clean. The management company was very responsive and helpful. Overall a great trip.

Incredible stay
Beautiful home with everything you need and more. The boat dock/ seawall was perfect for our 24 ft boat, and the house itself is spotless, stylish, and so comfortable. Peaceful location but close to restaurants and shops. We didn’t want to leave — can’t wait to come back!
Great location, close to everything. The house was clean and had everything a family of 6 would need. Great docking for our 28ft boat and the deep freezer was a plus.

Highly Recommend
This was our first time renting here and everything was as described. The home is beautiful and very clean. Our pets had a great vacation too. We would definitely stay here again
Our stay was the best. Nice, beautiful clean home. Everything you needed. Owners were very responsive to any questions and concerns we had. Would definitely stay there again!
The house was as described in the listing and provided a nice base to bring our 21ft boat. It had easy access to the open water and was close to everything we needed by land and water. We enjoyed our time there!
