The Unique Benefits of this House
Suites. We believe families, groups and couples want quality private time while on vacation. Here at Vista Linda, you can retreat to your private suite, relax, read, take a bath, watch TV-all while the kids are horseplaying outside and the guys are on the dock snagging snappers. Or, the kids can retreat to watch their own TV while you relax in the living room. You will relax here- the furniture is top quality, the beds are the best, and there are plenty of places to stretch out. Of course, the fishing in the Keys is world class, as is the diving. Marathon area has excellent restaurants, a movie theater, a nature museum, a golf course, supermarkets-everything you need to have a great family vacation

Spent 7 nights of beautiful weather, accomodations and fun. Thorough enjoyed the pool, hot tub, kayaks, fishing dock, hammock and bicycles. The sunset was amazing. Was visited by a huge turtle, dolphin, manatee and iguanas. Imagine our surprise at the community peacocks! Was relaxation with an exclamation point. Nothing was missed in preparation for guests, down to the stemware, cooking utensils, and appliances. Hopefully, we will have the opportunity to visit Vista Linda again. Thanks so much for a wonderful time.

My husband and I stayed in this wonderful rental for 5 perfect nights! This home is pristine and the owners have paid attention to every detail; from the luxury towels and bed linens to the flamingo salt and pepper shakers. It has every comfort and amenity you could think of. Not only is the home beautiful, but the backyard and view are reminiscent of paradise! We spent many hours in the pool, spa and watching the sunset from the dock...not to mention our sightings of searays, tropical fish and lobsters! We even caught several fish from the dock and cooked them up for dinner! The house is located on a very nice private street but is also close to restaurants and stores if you choose to go out! It's the perfect location. I cannot wait to come back to stay in this magical place!

Extremely clean, well kept, beautiful home with everything you could possibly need. Right on the gulf with dock, pool, and spa. Owners were flexible with our schedule and quick with service. Location is perfect, out of congested areas with plenty of access to things to do and all the attractions on the Keys. We will def be back to stay here again!

We are spending 10 days at this fabulous home and do not want to leave! The house is amazing - beautifully decorated and very well equipped with everything you will ever need. The beds and linens are exquisite - the highest of quality. We've never slept so good! The kitchen has EVERYTHING. We've been able to prepare full gourmet meals while still enjoying the amazing view. Speaking of the view... WOW! We spend hours just gazing at the horizon. The kids love the pool and the deck is not slippery. There are plenty of comfortable lounge areas - sunny and shady. We caught a couple of fish right from the dock using the supplied fishing rods, but mostly use the dock for relaxing since we didn't bring a boat. (Next time!) The dock is also a great place to watch the most amazing sunsets you will ever see. We've done some swimming and snorkeling off the dock -surprisingly good. We've seen Puffer Fish, angle fish, and many others. We've really enjoyed the kayaks too. Paddled out to a distance island one day which was a fun adventure. We've also used the bikes that are included with the house to tour around the neighborhood, which is a very quite, residential area. Another thing we love about this house is the privacy. It is beautifully landscaped so that you feel as if you are in your own private cove. We've been to the Keys many times over the years. Even lived in the lower Keys for a few years. This is absolutely the best place we have found. The owner, rental agent and caretaker have been an absolute pleasure to deal with. We consider it a nice relief to no longer need to spend hours searching for place to stay. We will book Vista Linda every time.

my soulmate and I stayed in this home the week of 4th of July ..it was so hard to leave! the photos are wonderful but to see it in person took my breath away! everything was perfect! the attention to detail was amazing..there was nothing that we needed! the owners have thought of EVERYTHING! from bikes and a lock to wine openers (2 of them!) lol ..fishing poles, life jackets, wonderful high end sheets and towels! we loved the decor ..makes me want to go redo my home! we had never been to The Keys and wanted to be close to Key West. the location was perfect! made sure to go fishing with Bud and Mary's at the start of your trip $60 for all day! we had enough fish to last the whole week! bring your Ipod for there is a hook up outside! pack very little clothes for they have a great washer and dryer..we fished off the dock, went swimming & kayaking daily..we danced , watched the sunsets and had a great time..the caretaker was very fast to return calls and answer any questions we had..we never really left much but to go shopping for food! lol we saw a sea turtle from the dock on the last day..it was like he was saying good bye! the owners have other locations and WE will be using them!! The fireworks in Marathon where better than the ones we saw in New York City lasy year! ..I could write a novel on this home and what the area has to offer!
Owner response:We are so happy our guests like this house as much as we do. It is very gratifying after months of work to see that it is being appreciated and used as we hoped. Thank you for your kind words.
