Why the Owner Chose Marathon
Vaca Cut is like a huge aquarium. We have seen all kinds of fish, birds, turtles and sharks. Even this summer, a whale shark took up residence in the Cut. The local paper did a story about it and animal activists worked to free it of fishing line. Not sure if it is still hanging around or not. The best part of Vaca Cut is the access to both the Gulf and the Ocean. Can't beat this location.
The Unique Benefits at this Duplex or Half Duplex
Little Venice began in Marathon as the little fishing village and it still is today. You won't find any "McMansions" staring down at you. This is the fisherman's neighborhood and you are just around the block from The Marathon Lady fishing boat the Fish Tales restaurant, our favorite.
Owner's Map of Marathon
We are David and Sally Manz. We have lived in the Keys since 1988 and have three daughters. Having this rental property has been exciting and exhausting. We enjoy furnishing it nicely and keeping it as a place for our extended family and friends to stay when they visit. We lived here briefly after Hurricane Wilma flooded our home. We crammed all five of us in one side but it was some of the best times we have spent. We hope you and your family will have many happy memories in our little duplex as well.
