Canal House, Seconds to the Atlantic Ocean, Hot Tub, and Dock
Year Purchased: 2003
Why the Owner Chose Marathon
I grew up in the Northeast USA, so having a vacation rental in the Florida Keys is a dream come true. Marathon supports week to week rentals and since most of our guests are families, this works out great. We love Marathon because of the small town friendly neighborhood culture, the great fishing and snorkeling, and relaxing at Sombrero Beach.
The Unique Benefits at this House
For serious fishing and diving, our house is 30 seconds from the Atlantic Ocean.
Our canal is 15ft deep so depending on the time of year, you will find lobster, snapper, and even an occasional Manatee in our canal. Many of our guests enjoy the Hot Tub or swim in the canal after a day on the water. Unlike some 3 bedroom newer multi-story houses, our house fits the budget of young families.
