Year Purchased: 2004

Why the Owner Chose Marathon

Why you chose Marathon Key: It’s a great place for fishing and there is a lovely beach not far from the house. It’s not far from the liveliness of Key West and Miami, but is distant enough to provide a lovely piece of tranquil Paradise.

The Unique Benefits at this House

While staying at our property, you can relax in our heated pool, the SPA is our favorite place. You are a short distance to Key West, where you can visit numerours museums, restaurants, water tours and many many other activities.

Owner's Map of Marathon

Our names are Manny and Elena Gonzalez. We’re a friendly couple living in Cape Coral, Florida. Manny is a Licensed Florida Realtor. We first came to the island of Marathon in the Keys in 2003 for a Fishing Trip vacation with our family and fell in love with the beautiful atmosphere. We decided to buy a vacation rental there so that we could visit occasionally and provide a lovely home for other families to make great memories.

A Wonderful House

Guest: Spence Clan (Green Bay, WI)
Date of Stay: 01/21/12 Review Submitted: 02/01/12

The house was exactly as described. It was clean and well maintained, with all the amenities you could want. We would definitely come back here the next time we are in the Keys, because it is so close to everything, but far enough away from the congestion of Key West. Thanks Manny and Elena for making this house available to us.

Late Christmas in the Keys

Guest: Packercoach (Independence, WI)
Date of Stay: 12/31/11 Review Submitted: 01/10/12

This house ended up being the ideal place for our family of 4 to get together for a late Christmas & New Year celebration. This house is equipped with LOTS....not to mention the pool...the whirlpool....a air hocky/pool table...and did I mention the pool :)...which is heated! Our stay came when the ocean was a bit cool but the pool was our salvation so we could still swim every day. The location of this house is ideal for Marathon visiting & Marathon is ideal for visiting the keys as a whole! If given the chance we would definitely stay here again :)!

Best house in Marathon? Absolutely

Guest: Nanoo (Central Florida)
Date of Stay: 12/17/11 Review Submitted: 01/09/12

Our family of 7 spent the most amazing week (the week before Christmas) at this lovely home. We played with the manatees right at our dock, and saw jelly fish, lobsters and more. The outdoors area was perfect for our family -- the "big kids" loved the pool, the "old kids" loved the hot tub. Both inside and out, the place was so well kept that we felt as if we were at a resort -- but we had privacy and it was affordable. Having the extras such as the ice machine, fish-cleaning station, covered picnic table and dock access made it so easy to do the thing we love most -- fishing. We can't wait to come back!

It is the Best House in Marathon!

Guest: lindy (Fleming Island Florida)
Date of Stay: 11/26/11 Review Submitted: 12/06/11

My friends and I have been renting in Marathon for over 15 years. This home is Excellent! It is exactly as it is pictured and described on VRBO....even better. They have bags of ice for you, grills ready with gas for frying or grilling. The place is very clean and comfortable. The backyard (on the water) is a playground. Great pool and jacuzzi, Party hut and fishing off the back deck. They even had three rods and reels available. Give it a try...you will love it. the owner Manny is a wonderful person and available if you have questions when staying.

Perfect Place for Family Vacation

Guest: Bubbles Below (Tampa, FL)
Date of Stay: 09/24/11 Review Submitted: 10/03/11

My family and I just returned from one of the most relaxing vacations we have ever had. We have spent many weeks vacationing in the Keys, but this location, by far, was our favorite. The home has everything that you need to have a complete getaway. The house is quaint and comfortable. We spent most of our time though, outside by the pool laughing, eating and drinking cool beverages after long days on the ocean snorkeling, diving and fishing. The commercial grade ice machine is AWESOME to have for filling coolers and putting your catch on ice. Thank you so much for that! Easy access to ocean if you do have your own boat...it was outstanding. We were blessed with gorgeous weather the entire trip. The property owner (Manny) was accessible, honest and accommodating. This property was beautiful and affordable and will remain in our memories as one of the best vacations spots ever. We will most definitely rent again in the future.

Sweet!

Guest: 'Choot Um' (South Florida)
Date of Stay: 09/10/11 Review Submitted: 09/26/11

This place was great! Perfect location. Place to keep our boat, which was great because many places in the keys charge to use their boat ramps. Minutes away from the protected Sombero reef. Saw alot of cool fish and coral reef. Did a lot of fishing and lobstering, brought home 28 mahi and 1 tuna in one day! Only 1hr away from Key West and all the people watching. Per my husband the "fisherman" the place is perfect for every fisherman... Team 'choot um' agrees! House was comfortable and has that tropical vacation feel to it. Everything you need is there. Grocery stores close. Couple of places to check out or stay away close by: Porkys Pub had terrible service, but we got a glimpse of a manatee. Salty's had good food and friendly staff. The Island Company had great conk fritters. We loved this place, it was everything we expected and more. Hope to visit again soon, would recommend to families or groups of friends.

Top Notch Customer Service

Guest: Jean (Clarksville, IN)
Date of Stay: 09/12/11 Review Submitted: 09/12/11

We had reserved this beautiful home for our vacation this December. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we unfortunately had to cancel. I emailed Manny as soon as I saw we were not going to be able to go and it was right on the cusp of the contract deadline for a full refund of our deposit. Within just a little more than 24 hours from the time of my correspondence, he replied back that full refund was on its way. That is true customer service in my book and so much appreciated considering our circumstances for having to cancel. Because of his consideration and understanding, this is definitely a place we will keep high on our radar for a future vacation. Thank you Manny for being so thoughtful and kind.

Best House in Marathon

Guest: Mark (Naples, Fl)
Date of Stay: 07/23/11 Review Submitted: 08/18/11

We've been coming to Marathon for over 13 years now. We've stayed just about everywhere on the island. This is absolutely the best house we've stayed at. You can't beat the location, ocean access, and I can't list everything the house has to offer. We had plenty of parking for vehicles and trailers, more than enough sea wall for dockage, and saved about $300 on ice thanks to the ice machine. We really enjoyed the pool in the afternoon after being on the water all day. It was nice to be in the shade having a cold drink. The other great thing is that you're only half a beer away from the ocean. Very quick access to offshore or backwater fishing, getting bait, fishing the flats, diving, spearfishing, or just a boat ride. It's only about 10 min. to sombrero reef. This house has something for everyone. It is set up for people who want to fish, boat, or just relax in paradise. Give it a try and you'll see just how hard it is to write a review listing everything this house has to offer. I'll be back next year!

Great House

Guest: Tneut (Tampa Bay)
Date of Stay: 06/25/11 Review Submitted: 08/15/11

This was everything we had hoped for. Nicely furnished and maintained, and exactly as advertised. For the kids there was the pool, dock for fishing and the air-hockey/pool table. The bait freezer, ice maker, dock, deep canal, and close run to the Atlantic was great for the fishing and diving. The jacuzzi was very relaxing in the evenings. And Manny was great , whenever we had a question about anything he was a phone call away. We are planning on returning again next year.
