Location: Marathon, Marathon Area, Florida Keys, Florida, USA
Accommodations: Single Family Home, 2 Bedrooms + Sunroom, 2 Baths (Sleeps 6)
Have you never visited the Keys? Or have you been here several times and concluded the obvious, that Marathon offers the nicest restaurants, most captivating island atmosphere, diverse shops, the nicest beach, great canals and waterways, hospitals and medical facilities, a movie theatre experience like none other, and so much more.
Welcome to Marathon, located halfway down the Keys, and welcome to our home. We recently bought and fell in love with Coco Plum. This single-family home was provided to us with all the finest amenities which we would love to pass on to you.
For the avid fisherman we are located on one of the finest and widest canals available. We have an 110-foot, deep-water, concrete dock, a lighted pier set up with a complete station for cleaning your fish and storing all your boating needs. We have a full-size freezer in our home and a separate bait freezer in our open porch. Lobster can be seen right off the dock and the swimming is exceptional!
Our yard is landscaped with over 50 variety of tropical foliage and we have mega empty space for off-street parking. This space is sufficient for an RV camper up to 40 feet and or a boat trailer. We are within one-half mile of our nearest boat ramp which will facilitate a fairly large boat. And we are within a mile of our nearest bait shop, boat repair shop, and just a few miles to our nearest boat supply shop.
Straight out our canal approximately two miles is one of the Keys finest spots for snorkeling and scuba diving named Coffin Patch reef.
For the avid fisherman who cannot leave his business at home we have an exceptional office space, so bring along your office needs. For the women we provide a beautiful covered porch, luxury bath and shower, an assortment of reading books, all and any kitchen needs; equipped with filtered drinking water, a wine cooler, steamers, fryers, glass and plastic ware for indoors and out, a laundry room fully equipped with iron and ironing board. You will leave wanting to redesign you own homes to match your new vacation home.
Our home is centrally air conditioned and each room has ceiling fans, TVs with cable, DVDs and VCRs. Our home has two large bedrooms with queen-size luxury beds, decorated in island décor. Our sun porch overlooking the water has a queen-size sleeper sofa and many comfortable places to relax. Outside our sun porch we have a dining table and loungers under a fanned covered porch.
If you prefer the sun, our porch extends out in to the yard. Our latest addition was an open, outdoor, cold water shower, an instant relief to the heat and a great cleanup of the sea salt coming in off your boat. We allow no smoking in our home, so this covered porch is available for your smoking needs.
A feature we had not planned and are extremely grateful for is that our home is shaded from the late afternoon sun and heat, therefore allowing the luxury of afternoon and evening outdoor entertaining. We provide a large propane grill, dining table for your use. Our beautiful landscaping fortunately contains no mangroves, which means no bugs, yeah!
We are located approximately five to ten minutes from the nicest beach on the Keys. Sombrero Beach provides free parking and features picnic areas complete with grills, brand-new shower facilities indoors and outdoors, beach volleyball, a landscaped grassy nature walk, and a long sandy beach with a roped-in swimming area, suitable for swimming and snorkeling. For any couples with limited walking abilities this home has very minimal steps to climb and can easily be devised with any portable ramp to climb a single step.

Beautiful and relaxing tropical stay! mona678 Tallahassee, FL. Date Submitted: June 10, 2008 Date of Stay: May 2008 This was our first time visiting the Keys and we had a wonderful week in Tropical Mystique! The home was decorated in beautiful tropical decor and was plenty of room for our family of four. There was plenty of space for our boat in the canal and we had a blast fishing from the dock. After a long day on the boat, the pool was the perfect place to cool off. In fact, we had such a fun time that we didn't want to leave. We would definitely go back to visit again! Thanks so much Dave and Joyce for an amazing time in your lovely home!

It was without a doubt the most wonderful holiday we've ever had. The house is clean, well equipt, the pool fabulous and you can fish from the back door!! I cannot thank Dave and Joyce enough for allowing us to share their fantastic home in the Florida Keys. We can't wait to return. If you're thinking about it, do yourself a favour, just book it, you won't regret it. Regards, Darren Lane

Dear DAve and Joyce You have a great home and the interior decorating is fantastic! The McCormicks and Waddells had a marvelous time here in the Keys. The weather has been the best that we have experienced - 80's with a nice breeze. We would certainly be happy to come back to your tropical paradise. Thank you!

What a "chillin" blast! We have not had this much fun in a long time. Your place is just perfect in so many ways:beautiful vegetation, nice homes and no condos that you have to look around to watch the pelicans and moon. And no snow! We'll always have happy memories of dancing, eating lobster, etc. Key West and all the other keys, tequilla, relaxing, or should I say chillin. What else can I say. We hope to be back every year! Thanks so much

To:Dave, Joyce, Sarah and Katie We have had the pleasure of enjoying your most comfortable, homey house here for a month. We come down to the Keys each year for the Earnest Hemingway contest in Key West and for our sons and grand- children to enjoy and participate in the "mini lobster" season. This year in your home has been a memorable one. All the conveniences are supplied-and the organization of the cabinets is a joy. The decor is superb! Our stay here has been one of the most pleasurable of all our visits. Thank you for opening your home and for your thoughtful welcome in the preceding page. Sincerely, The Ream Family
