Thanksgiving stay

Review Submitted: 11/27/11
The house was spotless which was importan as we had our 11th month old crawling everywhere. There were just three of us, so there was more house than we needed - it's quite spacious. It was near a fish market and a highly recommened restaurant which was great. The Cabana club was essential for us since the water temperature was too cool for the baby. Key West is not known for beaches so it was great to have the Cabana pool and it had it's only little strip of beach as well. Owner had lots of information in binder which was extremely helpful. There were plenty of linens and towels. Juliana and her house manager were both very quick to respond to questions and were there for us when we had an unexpected change in plans. All in all, this was a spacious, huge, clean, conveneintly located place to stay and I would definitely love to come back with my parents and maybe rent a boat next time.

Most comfortable beds & friendly manatees

We did very much like the house. You have the most comfortable beds in the whole of Marathon. Everybody in my crowd kept commenting about how nice the beds were for a change. We have stayed in a lot of houses down there and this one was without a doubt, the most comfortable one and the coolest temperature wise one. That was fantastic. We would definitely recommend it to anyone and we will have to wait awhile and see what this economy is going to be like next year. There were plenty of sheets etc for us, and by the way we like that we don't have to go into the hot garage to wash and dry clothes. Thanks for letting us bring "Trouble" our dog. He enjoyed it. He tried to meet the iguanas but they did not want to play. We had a visit from a nice size manatee. He came to see us about three times. I wrote a page in your guest book you keep at the house. That’s a nice thing to do. That’s how I found out about Franks Grill. We've been going down for years and we've never seen it or heard about it and its so convenient to the house.

This was my first time renting this house, but probably won't be my last. It was very spacious and well stocked. Loved the location as well...3 minutes to the gulf or 10 minutes to open ocean.

A Tropical Paradise Vacation.

Review Submitted: 06/29/11
My family and I had a fabulous vacation at this beautiful home located in a tropical paradise!!! The home was everything and more than we expected---very spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed to prepare some great meals ( that is to say on the nights we weren't out enjoying the awesome local cuisine). The location could not be better---there is so much to see and do---we enjoyed snorkeling, scuba diving, Bahia Honda State Park and beach, scenic drives down to Key West, Key Colony Beach and Cabana Club, Sunset Park (the most beautiful sunsets ever), Sunset Grill Tiki Bar (next to the 7 mile bridge), and so much more. Juliana (the owner) was such a pleasure to work with--and I feel I made a friend. My family is definitely looking forward to our next visit to this beautiful tropical home in paradise.
