Amazing time at this VRBO. Would highly recommend. Very clean and tons of amenities to utilize while we were there! We rented a boat for a few days and wasn’t an issue to leave the boat docked at the property. The host was very responsive to questions. We had 2 families of 4 and the home was perfect! Very relaxing and overall great vacation in Marathon! Would go back!!

Perfect outdoor living

We stayed with 3 families which included 6 kids. There was plenty of room for all of us. The kids loved fishing off the dock. We spent majority of our time utilizing the pool area. There is a boat ramp right down the road which made dropping in easy. We had a few issues after checking in but Monica was incredibly responsive and had everything fixed that day. Definitely would stay again!

Remarkable vacation

My family and I stayed here for christmas. Ages 7-74 and everyone had a good time. The home is beyond beautiful. Has lots of things to do to keep everyone busy and happy. The neighbors are very friendly. Fishing in the canal was my favorite. We caught lots of fish and even nurse sharks. The manatees come and visit almost daily . I highly recommend staying at this house if visiting the Florida keys. You are right in the middle. We made unforgettable memories here.

Great place

We had a great experience staying here. The outdoor kitchen / pool / play / relax area is well-designed and very inviting. Loved having a boat (we rented separately) on the substantial, sturdy, expansive canal docking area. We used the bait freezer and fish cleaning table - awesome to have that right by the water. Our kids (and a couple adults) loved playing billiards outside. The outdoor ice maker was a big hit. We all enjoyed the many different areas to relax and simply spend time together - this is a great setup for large families. The airport noise is louder than expected but I think we all grew accustomed to that after about a day.

Our 2024 Family of 9 Vacation.

Overall the home was just beautiful ! Great layout with ample sized bedrooms and bathrooms. Below the home was a wonderful covered space built for entertaining a crowd and leading directly to the pool with a wonderful umbrella shade. Great dock space for our 2- 23 foot boats with room to spare. Great location with easy access to the Atlantic via Vaca Cut. Being next to the active runway at Marathon airport was only a slight noise issue. We will be coming back for another stay. As a family of coffee drinkers we were bummed that there was only a Kuerig for coffee maker that we did not use. Our daughter just happened to bring her coffee maker from home so we made due with that. Hopefully they will add a drip coffee maker to the rest of the kitchen gadgets they have on hand.

The house was wonderful and the host was super responsive. We loved the outdoor kitchen, the pool, and the games. We had my family of 7 staying in the house ranging in age from 11-74. Across the canal, my brother, SIL, and her parents rented a two bedroom. It was a great set up for us. We loved visiting Robbie’s, the turtle hospital, dolphin research center, the 7 mile bridge, key west, boat rides, and more. We saw a ton of marine life in the area which was really cool. The location wasn’t my favorite (no view) but we would definitely rent again. The butting bugs were really bad though and we think it is in part due to all of the organic/marine debris a couple doors down as well as the open/undeveloped space nearby. All of the canal debris would get caught up in the boat too. Nothing we couldn’t handle, but it was slow going until you got through it. The airport noise was also a lot (not at night thankfully) but it was Thanksgiving week so it was likely higher than normal. We did have to purchase more paper products. I know there is a starter kit, but it would be helpful if more was provided. In general though we had a great time and enjoyed the house and the keys. Thank you!!

Nice new home in Marathon

A group of 7 family/friends just stayed in the property for one week and here is our analysis.Pros*Clean and new property*well stocked with kitchen ware*Plenty of appliances *Outside kitchen great. *Appreciate the puzzles and gamesCons*Owner should supply a few trash bags, dishwasher tabs and laundry soap (not asking for a weeks worth). Suggestion: replace the snack basket (which was appreciated) with some above supplies. Who wants to go to the store for the above items and if we had left over.*Bedding and fair (flat pillows /ok quality sheets) *PLEASE secure pest control. Our entire group was eaten alive (and we used OFF) * 300 up charge to heat spa/pool a little high because of temperature restrictions by owner (and it doesn’t get that cold in Marathon). Too many bugs in the pool and we never had the pool service show up for a week. We would definitely consider coming back but would ask for the for some allowances outlined above.
