Seaglass - 20 Feet from the Gulf of Mexico! Low May Prices.

Year Purchased: 2004

Why the Owner Chose Marathon

Gulfpoint II's location is great because you can get to the ocean or the Gulf in a matter of minutes. Our townhouse style is roomy (1400 sq feet) and private. Each condo has 3 spots for parking and we have a beautiful new dock with all the extras. I can reach most everything I need or want on my bike. Walgreen's, the Post office or any of the great restaurants on the Island.

The Unique Benefits at this Townhome

You will have magnificent views from just about anywhere in our condo. The ocean birds flying by our balcony are a source of wonderful entertainment and you can enjoy many peaceful and relaxing hours there. Waking up in the morning with the balcony doors (4- 8' doors) open, seeing that fabulous view, and smelling that fresh ocean air is pure HEAVEN.

 

Owner's Map of Marathon

I'm Bob and I live and work in Madison, Wisconsin. I had been renting at Gulfpoint 2 for many years before I finally bought my own condo and I wish I had done it sooner. I get away to the Keys every chance I get, and love sport fishing with my favorite guide. Marathon is truly a piece of paradise. If you love the big water,great fresh seafood and a laid back relaxing atmosphere, you will love it here.

    • My firlfriend and I spent a week in this lovely Marathon Key condo. It was just as advertised; clean, well kept grounds, heated pool, and more. There is a lot to do in the area with many state parks and beaches close by. Key West is only an hour away. I would recommend this house for any vacation.

    • We had a great time and the Sea Glass condo was absolutely phenomenal. It was easily as beautiful as you portrayed it. The dock opened in the beginning of the week and even though there were a bunch of warnings with Tropical Storm Alberto in the area, it only rained the first day. It was fabulous. Thanks for the restaurant recommendations as well. We had awesome meals at the Key Colony Inn and 2x at the Island Tiki. And while it was a bit pricey, we had a really great steak meal at the Water's Edge up in Hawk's Cay on Duck Key. We didn't get to use Inch Beach because we ended up finding a very secluded area of Sombrero Beach that was very shallow and calm for our 3 year old. She had an awesome time and also caught a bunch of small fish off the dock as well. Thanks again and if we ever come back down to the Keys (likely!), we'll certainly check to see if the Sea Glass is available. B & M Reger

    • Hurricane Charley, Ivan & Frances! Oct 13, 2004 After much anticipation our trip to the Florida Keys was planned for September 17-24. We booked the beautiful Sea Glass condo on Marathon Key so we would be in the middle key. It was off-season and the rates were lower. What a perfect time to go. We would drive our car to save money. When Hurricane Charley threatened the Florida Keys in mid August, we got really nervous. I called Jeanne and she told me not to worry, that it was too early to tell what Charley is going to do and that she was watching it closely. A couple of days later the Keys started the tourist evacuations and we were so afraid that our vacation was ruined for sure. Well, the hurricane shifted (Jeanne was right) and we could breathe again except for the worry that we would not be able to get gas or would encounter damage. Then Hurricane Frances hit lower Florida, and we thought we would not be able to get there for sure. To make matters worse, Hurricane Ivan was lingering below threatening to head up toward Florida also!! I talked to Jeanne to find out what our options were and she said we could either rebook for a later date or cancel and get our money back. We really did not want to cancel our trip or move it to a later date, we were ready to go!! Finally, it looked like we could get there with little or no trouble. But, Ivan was going to hit the panhandle and would hit Huntsville right at the day we were going to leave (we live in Huntsville!). I called Jeanne and she offered for us to come down early. We decided to go for it and leave on the evening of the 15th, the day before Ivan made landfall. We drove down through Georgia and Ivan was going up through Alabama. What a relief-we went for it and got there with no trouble at all. The condo was perfect and felt just like home, the weather was GREAT, and there was so much waiting for us to do and we decided to stay an extra day! This was a trip that my husband has wanted to make for years and we weren't going to let 3 Hurricane's ruin it for us..... Thanks to Bob & Jeri for your wonderful condo and to Jeanne for all your help and patience!!

    • Dear Paula & Jean, , I have been trying to find the time to write to you about out trip at Sea Glass. All I can say is INCREDIBLE!!!!! We loved everything about the place. Every morning and evening we were in awe of the views from our bedroom and living area. The new dock was wonderful and we must have caught 200 fish throughout the week. It was soooo much fun. The weather was great too. Alot of wind but at least it kept the heat down. We would like to try and come back next year but stay for two weeks instead of one. Thanks again for all your help with EVERYTHING. You were very pleasant to work. We wouldn't have changed a thing. WE DO need a bigger boat to get out further into the ocean to catch larger fish but hopefully we will have that taken care of next year. Sincerely, Jennifer B

    • Finally got around to writing how wonderful our stay was, to much work back here in reality! I want to thank you so much for letting us rent your absolutely beautiful condo. Besides the incredible views out of the bedroom balcony I really liked to sit out there at night after the day was winding down and really relax and reflect on the beauty of the keys. It was so peaceful to sit out there. The decor was great, made us really feel comfortable like we were home, I particularly liked the lighting and art work. (My daughter liked the padded stairs!) The badges to Inch Beach really paid off. We had planned a few days around Sombrero beach but each day we got there we found a sea weed slick right on the shore. We did Bahia Honda one day which was fun but crowded so a few of the other days we were pleasantly surprised to have our own little private beach with perfect water. I could not get my 18 month old out of the water the entire trip, she just loves the water, just like Dad :) I know for sure we will be back, hopefully we get lucky again and find an open week! Thanks Again! Sincerely, Brandon, Fabiola, & Mariella

    • August 20, 2008 ALL we can say is WOW! What a blast we had! We LOVE the Keys and our favorite is Marathon! Thank you so much for assisting in the best vacation I have ever had! Our family loved it! I know you asked for feedback and any updates so here ya go..... 1. The townhouse was awesome! Very clean, very spacious, perfect location for everything. 2. We took your advice on several of the local restaurants....The Island Tiki Bar and Sparky's Landings are our all round favorites! 3. We fished every night off the dock at Seaglass....what fun! We bought fishing rods that ended up being too large to carry home. So we left them for future renters...hope they bring them good luck! Thank you again for a job well done and for making my family happy! Let Bob know that we think his place is awesome and we hope to return again!

    • I can't tell you how much we enjoyed your condo. Y'all thought of absolutely every convenience to provide for your renters. When we went to Key West for the night, we were both ready to go home...to Sea Glass, that is. We have several friends who plan on making reservations at your condo as well. My husband has been a home body, but now says we are going back ... and we definitely want to stay in your condo. It really did feel like home...we almost felt like a part of your family!
