Map & Owner's Profile
Luxury Oceanfront (Gulf) Condo, Fabulous View, Dock, and Pool
Year Purchased: 2002
Why the Owner Chose Marathon
We chose to buy at this location for several reasons. The condo is located in the middle of the Keys and within a short drive to all points of interest. It is a one hour drive to either Key West or Key Largo. Many interesting activities are close by. The Dolphin Research Center, turtle hospital, state parks, hiking areas, and the abandoned 7 Mile Bridge recreation area are just a few. Many locally owned restaurants are within walking distance.
The condo entrance is situated on the Marathon bike path which is about 100 yards from the Key Colony Beach bikeway. Several lovely beaches are within a short drive. Each has a unique personality. The condo complex has five buildings with four townhouse condos in each one. The grounds of the complex are well maintained, secluded, quiet, and sparsely inhabited. The floors and walls of the condos are thick concrete. The huge dock is located at the mouth of the Vaca Cut. The cut is the opening between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. The current runs through the cut different directions with the changing of the tides. This makes for great fishing off the dock. The large heated pool is less than a thirty second walk from the condo. Pelican's Perch condo is closer to Havanna, Cuba than Miami Florida. This location is unique and desireable.
The Unique Benefits at this Condominium
The unique benefits of Pelican's Perch condo are plentiful. The condo is a coveted outside unit facing the Gulf of Mexico. It is located on the east side of a point 16 yards from the water's edge. When it is calm renters enjoy sitting on the elevated decks watching marine life swim by the condo. The view is open water in the center and left with the right view being shoreline. The night view is enhanced by the festive lights of a restaurant across a bay about a quarter mile away giving definition to the shoreline. It is important that the decks have morning sun and afternoon shade. The prevailing easterly winds blow across the water and cool the shaded decks making it a comfortable place to sit even on the most warm and humid days. It is heaven on earth. The condo is well maintained and updated. Recent updates include new windows, carpet, washer, dryer, 3 flat screen combination TV/DVD players, and painting. We appreciate the many positive reviews and comments we have received from our renters about the condition of the condo and their renting experiences.
Owner's Map of Marathon
Our family is comprised of a French/Spanish high school teacher, public servant, air force officer, and college student. We fell in love with the Florida Keys during scuba diving trips. The multi-colored Caribbean water, weather, fantastic marine and wild life, great local restaurants, places to see, and quirky personality of the Keys hooked us!
