Great week in Marathon

We found the Condo to be very nice, and well equiped with essentials. Parking is covered underneath with living, dining room, and kitchen on the second floor. Two bedrooms and baths on the third level. The view from the master bedroom deck is great. It was very easy to get to restraurants and dive shops. We rented bicycles from Bill at Bike Marathon Bike Rental. No store he delivers and picks up at the end of the week. We used the beach chairs and umbrella when we went to Sombrero Beach. The swimming pool is great.

The weather was great and the condo spacious and comfortable. Dave brought his kayak and enjoyed the afternoons on the water with Grant. Had great seafood at Sparkys. Wore ourselves out with the all day adventure package with Sunset Cruises. We will be back! Thanks for sharing your lovely home!

We recently had such a great time in Marathon and the surrounding Keys during our Spring Break holiday. The weather was perfect with warm temps and blue skies (it rained twice, but at night while we slept). We took our two boys ages 15 and 18 and had both a fun and relaxing week. Phil and Linda provided us with everything we could need in their clean, spacious and comfortable condo. Marathon is such a great location, convenient to state parks, restaurants, water sport activities, and shopping. My husband brought his kayak, and without having to leave the condo property he and my son were able to paddle out from the dock to enjoy the water and scenery. Some other highlights of our vacation included the Do It All package with Sunset Tours, Mallory Square at Sunset, snorkeling at John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park, a walk down Old Seven Mile Bridge, and a sightseeing walk on the trails in Bahia Honda State Park (beautiful). Thank you so much Linda and Phil for sharing your home with us. We hope to stay at your condo again in the near future (there is still so much we would like to see and do) and will recommend it to our friends and family as well!

Loved Coco Plum beach, just one mile up the street. A hidden gem - hardly anyone there! As the Key deer refuge on Big Pine Key and the art shops in Islamorada. Enjoy!

looking at the water and the sunsets with a bottle of wine. Had a wonderful time. Love your condo. Very comfortable. And, the neighoors are very nice and friendly. The guys went fishing with Todd Ziels and caught bonefish, jacks and enough mangrove snapper for a delicious dinner at Keys Fisheries. Hate to leave the beautiful wather and going back to the snow!

Thank you Phil and Linda, your place is wonderful with all the amenities we wanted! We were blessed. :) It was nice to get away from the cold in DC area for a while. Great people around Gulf Point II. Did some fishing off the dock...we hooded a big tarpon but it wiggled away. Thanks again.

We celebrated our 40th wedding anniversary with our first trip to the Keys. Staying in this beautiful condo on Marathon was wonderful. We were centrally located so it was easy to go north to Key Largo and south to Key West. We explored Crane Point, Bahia Honda State Park, John Pennekamp Park and Key West. It was so nice to come "home" after a day of sightseeing, sit on the balcony and enjoy the warm breezes. Morning coffee outside in short sleeves and shorts while the rest of the country was freezing was simply fantastic. We had a wonderful time!

Hi Phil and Linda, I put the key in your envelope and sent it on its way back on Monday night. I meant to send a note thanking you for the wonderful condo. This vacation was probably our last family vacation as Kelly is graduating this year from UW La Crosse. Everything lived up to what we were hoping it would. Your condo was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed it. We always like to stay away from all the craziness and the location was perfect! Being able to have a boat (from Adam) so close made everything so easy. We also had some kayaks so we just bounced from one fun thing to the next. My crazy husband had us kayaking through the cut to the ocean! He made it back in low tide but the rest of us had to turn around and get out at the bridge. These are always the great times made on family vacations! The weather was cool for March in the Keys, but we loved it. The sun was so intense for us WI (live by the lake where it’s always cloudy) deprived sun people. Needless to say after a week on the water, we’re all overly tan. At least not burnt! (and it’s great when your kids grow up and do all the planning for you. Katie did a great job finding you, the boat, etc). Thanks again. We hope to return again someday! Suz, Dave, Katie and Kelly

We travelled out from the UK to spend New Year with our daughter who is currently working in Canada. Marathon was an ideal place to meet up and see a little of the Florida Keys. The condo was perfectly situated and had absolutely everything we needed. In addition, Linda was superb regarding the organisation of payment and providing keys across to another continent! Weather was mixed; some days beautifully warm and sunny and some days really cool. We were delighted with the book provided in the condo which gave us plenty of ideas of where to eat and what to visit. We loved the tarpon feeding, the dolphins and Ernest Hemingway's house in Key West. Lots of great places to eat close to the condo especially the Island Fish Co; everyone was so friendly towards us and made us foreigners feel really welcome! Thanks Linda for a great vacation!
