Wonderful Spring Break

Guest: Marlyn F.
Date of Stay: 04/07/12 Review Submitted: 04/24/12

Our children are already asking if we can return to the Keys next year and stay in this house again. We have three children 8, 12, 15 and they had a blast. They fished in the canal, swam in the pool, and lounged in the hot tub. We also had many games of air hockey! The location is great. Two of our children swam with the dolphins at the Dolphin Research Center...make sure you make a reservation ahead of time. We went to Sombrero Beach, Bahia Honda Beach, spear fishing, snorkeling and day trip to Key West. We highly recommend this house. Manny, thanks for making it so easy!!

Perfect House for exploring the keys

Guest: Todd R.
Date of Stay: 03/31/12 Review Submitted: 04/11/12

This house is exactly as pictured and described. Feels like your home away from home. Sombrero Beach wasn't as nice as we thought, but we did thoroughly enjoy Bahia Honda beaches and Veterans Memorial State parks. We had no problems whatsoever with the house. We arrived a little bit earlier than the 3pm check-in and Manny was very courteous in letting us drop off our things and we actually just kind of hung around until the cleaning person was done. We were so happy to arrive after 25 hours of driving. Very nice of Manny to let us in early. I would recommend this house to anyone. There were 4 adults and 2 kids and we had plenty of room for everybody. We will definitely stay here again someday. THANKS MANNY!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

By Far The Best House In The Florida Keys

Guest: Dave (Orlando, FL)
Date of Stay: 05/21/11 Review Submitted: 07/04/11

We are a group of firefighters that have been going to the keys since 1975 and have rented various houses, hotels, campgrounds, travel trailers, you name it. This year we came across this house on the internet and decided to give it a try. It was absolutely the best rental we have ever had. Clean, perfect location as you are close to everything, straight shot out to the fishing grounds, really enjoyed the pool and spa at the end of a long day of fishing. We have reserved the same dates with Manny for years in advance as we are done looking for a nice place to stay. If your looking for a clean house with all the comforts you could want, stop looking it just will not be beat. Enjoy your stay!!

Truly the Best House

Guest: Grant (Roberts, Wi)
Date of Stay: 04/09/11 Review Submitted: 04/19/11

My wife & I just spent a week at Manny's house April 9th-16th with two other couples. We could not have asked for anything more. The house was as advertised, only nicer. Pool & hot tub were great, as was the dock area & fish cleaning table. We rented a boat from Tropical Boat Rentals for the week(also a class act), and spent every day on the water. This house is a perfect base to begin each days adventure. We caught Grouper, snapper, mackerel , barracuda, Mahi mahi & wahoo as well as an assortment of reef fish. This is also a great location if you are looking to dive or snorkel as you are within a short distance from Sombrerro Lighthouse & many other local dive spots. I would highly recommend this property if you have plans to be boating or if you just want to relax the days away in the pool. We've only been home for three days & we already miss it. Can't wait to go back. Thanks for an amazing week Manny!

We love Marathon!

Guest: Kuepp (Tillsonburg, Ontario, Canada)
Date of Stay: 02/26/11 Review Submitted: 03/22/11

We just spent 2 weeks, (Feb. 26 - March 12, 2011), at the Marathon House and loved every minute of it! The description and pictures accurately depict this rental, but it's even better in real life! Although there were 3 couples in our group sharing this house, we had more than enough room for all of us. We never once felt crowded. This house has all the amenities you could ask for. It is well kept, very clean, neat, and tidy. The hot tub is awesome and the pool was a life saver when it came to cooling off in the beautiful Florida Keys sunshine. We have visited the Keys numerous times over the past 23 years and this was by far, the most comfortable and enjoyable accomondations thus far. Marathon Keys is central to everything. Marathon itself has all you could ask for when it comes to shopping, (Sombrero) beach, restaurants, attractions, etc.. Be sure to visit the Turtle Hospital near the Seven Mile Bridge. They are doing awesome work there. Eateries we recommend are; The Wooden Spoon, Sunset Grill (beside Seven Mile Bridge), Key Fisheries, and Hurricane (awesome chicken wings)! Also be sure to walk the old bridge next to the Seven Mile Bridge, (2 miles each way). If you do this, check the water for Sea life and you may see a Manta Ray or Sea Turtle like we did. If you like fishing, The Marathon Lady, near the Vaca Cut Bridge, offers a very fun filled and successful fishing adventure. 5 of us caught 163 fish in about 3 1/2 hours. We were able to keep 1/2 of them, (in season). The only thing we regret is not bringing our "fishin' poles" for the canal behind the house. Janet and I are hopeful that we will be able to vacation here again in 2012. Thanks to Manny for letting us vacation in his wonderful home. Thanks too for being responsive to emails and any questions we had.

We were so pleased with our stay at Manny's home in Marathon. The pictures and description were perfectly accurate and Manny was very easy to work with. This house has everything you'll need to enjoy a care free vacation in the Florida Keys. The pool, hot tub and entire outdoor area were just lovely and really well maintained. The interior of the home was clean and nicely furnished - esp the kitchen, which has everything you'll need. (You will need to supply some of your own items - soap, laundry soap, toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags - but we didn't think this was a big deal as there is a Publix, Winn-Dixie and K-Mart super close.) The house is perfectly situated in The Keys! We went to Key West, The Everglades Nat'l Park, Bahia Honda Key/beach, Islamorado, etc. Make sure to check out the Dolphin Research Center on Grassy Key - that was very cool. We also took in the sunset one night on the walking bridge to Pigeon Key and it was simply gorgeous. If you're thinking of renting this house I would highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed!

A week in December 2010

Guest: Andy and Robin (Newton, MA)
Date of Stay: 12/12/10 Review Submitted: 01/02/11

House was clean and furnished as depicted. Hot tub was wonderful during rather chilly weather for Florida! Location was good for the Keys, since we could get to Key West, snorkeling and party boat fishing right from Marathon. Be prepared to buy/bring ALL consumables, they have spices but no laundry soap, dishwasher or sufficient bars of hand soap. A bit much, especially since they asked us to start the laundry before we left. We have owned a beach rental and we would leave such supplies for people to replenish if they used them up. However, there were plenty of pots and pans and dishes. We did have a good time and it was a comfortable, relaxing spot, great TV room chairs and a huge selection of DVD's. It's a good arrangement for a family or multi-generations. If you go to Key West, be sure to visit the Butterfly House--it's awesome!

We had a most delightful stay at Manny's home. It is in a beautiful location, close to everything. The home is even better than the description and pictures. It is very well maintained and clean. Manny is very helpful and a pleasure to work with. His communications are prompt, pleasurable and accurate. I would highly recommend this home to a relative or friend visiting the area. We would love to stay at The Best House the next time we are in the area. The house is in a great location. We visited Curry Hammock State Park, Sombrero Beach and Bahia Honda State Park. They are all beautiful and worth a visit. It is an easy drive to Key West, Key Largo and any other Key from this house. And, if you don't want to do anything, it is a great place to sit and relax. The swimming pool and hot tub are great. The sitting areas outside are comfortable and a great place to just sit around and talk! The house has everything you could ask for. We had a great time and wish to thank Manny for everything he did for us! We are hoping to make a return trip sometime in the not to distant future! Thanks again Manny.

We just returned from a week at Manny's house in Marathon, and we cannot rave enough about it. We were 4 adults, a 5 year old, a 2 year old, and a 6 month old, and we all enjoyed every minute of our stay. The jacuzzi was a lifesaver, as the weather was unusually cool. We were in it every day, and many nights. We all caught pinfish in the canal, and even had a visit from a manatee! We're planning at least 2 more vacations to this home and we're very much looking forward to it. This house is in a perfect location, and everything about it was perfect.

The house itself so comfortable that we had trouble stepping out for our daily activities. Marathon is a great home base for activities around the keys. Can't wait to return.

Just got back from spending 2 weeks in Manny's house (11/14-11-28). Even in our GPS we named it (The Dream House) I could write a book about how wonderful the house was. It was exactly as described and as shown in pictures and very clean and neat. House had everything a family needs for a weeks or a months stay. Outside (back) area is a little paradise on it's own - large pool and nice size spa, tiki bar, plenty of room for a family of 5-6. We had wonderful weather both weeks (80's and sunny) except one rainy day (we needed it for a trip to Key West). Manny was wonderful to deal with - e-mails were replied to in timely manner. House was located very close to Publix, K-Mart and some good restaurants. Huge outdoor grill saw it's share of use also. Thanks also for letting us use the freezer, ice maker and ice - it came in handy. If we EVER need a large house in the Keys again - Manny will be the first one to call/e-mail. Thanks again and again for letting our families to spend 2 fantastic weeks in your gorgeous house Manny.

It is a short boat ride to Vaca Cut for bait and gas and there are lots of diving sites close by. We caught lots of fish and ate fresh fish every day. The kids enjoyed catching pin fish and Snapper off of the bulk head at the house. We liked it so much we have already reserved the house again for 2010. Thanks Manny!

This is our second year staying at this beautiful, relaxing home. We had everything we needed and more! The backyard arrangement is a great setup, so much so that you really don't even need to leave it to experience a great Florida vacation. Great ocean access and Manny's fishing advice was very helpful. Grocery stores are convenient to get to. The house and Manny are very welcoming and we would not stay anywhere else when visiting the Keys. See you next year if not sooner!

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful week's vacation at this house and can't say enough good things about it. Everything was well-appointed and comfortable. Outside was like a mini resort with its hot tub, pool and deck on the canal. And the inside offered a comfortable place to put up your feet and relax. Manny was very responsive and great to deal with. We'll definitely be back!

We stayed from 4/4 - 4/11 and loved it! The location is great, wonderful dock for our boat and the house was great! Very comfortable and relaxing -great access to the ocean and nice boat ride to Bahia Honda Key State Park! Loved the pool and jacuzzi, along with all the movies available in the house. We would defintely come back to stay! Thanks Manny! (Wish we could have caught some fish you have displayed!)

We stayed the week of March 31, 2009. What a great spot! Hours in the pool and jacuzzi- enjoying the sunshire and the gentle breeze off the Atlantic - and the fishing was great. I'm afraid we didn't have your luck tho Manny! Not to far to Key West, and a beautiful drive. Thanks so much - 5 stars!

Great location, close to anything you need and want. Great house, it's laid out nicely and well maintained. Manny is great to work with. We are planning to return and hopefully stay at Manny's house next year.

We stayed at the home from 3/14/09 to 3/21/09 with our friends from San Diego. It was our first time in the Keys and we could not have chosen a nicer place to stay. Very clean, felt like home, loved the pool and hot tub. Can't wait to go back, Thanks Manny.

We spent the week at this house, and it was great - just what we needed. While everything was clean and inviting, my favorite was the backyard. We spent countless hours in the pool and jaccuzzi. Thanks, Manny!

We greatly enjoyed our stay. The place is clean, convenient, spacious, and nicely appointed. The pool and hot tub were welcome respites, where we enjoyed happy hour each evening. Manny is easy to work with and was very responsive to our questions.

We reanted this home in June 2007, and it was just wonderful! The photos don't show how spotlessly clean, well appointed, and comfortable the house is. The ocean is only a short kayak ride away, and the canal is well marked and easy to find for boating. The owner was very easy to work with...would rate this home a 10!
