Location: Marathon, Marathon Area, Florida Keys, Florida, USA (5 minute walk to Sombrero Beach)
Accommodations: House, 3 Bedrooms + Convertible bed(s), 2 Baths (Sleeps 6-8)
This house has it all – a 5 min walk to Sombrero Beach, hot tub, heated private pool, ocean views, a "fisherman's" dock, high speed wireless Internet, cut flowers, chocolates on your pillows, etc., etc.
Marathon recently spent $5M renovating Sombrero beach - it's one of the best beaches in the Keys. Beach chairs, towels, umbrella, cooler, sand toys, and snorkel equipment are all provided. The 12' X 28' pool is on the west side, so it gets full sunshine for sun bathing in your Speedo (you'll have a lot of privacy in our back yard). In the winter we can heat the pool to 85 degrees and you'll be able to set the hot tub to 102 degrees. At night the pool light will change colors and remember, what goes on in the hot tub - stays in the hot tub!
The fisherman's dock has a large fish cutting station, electric, plumbing, sink, lights for when you return in the dark, and rocket launchers on the pilings to place your rods so they don't get stepped on. There's even a shower to cool you off when you come back. Use the freezer out back for your bait, ice, and your catch. We are on the ocean side, so you'll have quick ocean access to some of the best fishing in the world.
Underwater lights have been installed in the canal - you'll be mesmerized by the fish while you sit on the park bench at night. Let the children cast a line and Voila - they caught a fish in the Keys - something they will always remember. Mangrove snapper, tarpon, angel fish, sting rays, and nurse sharks have all been caught off of my dock. A dozen tarpon have recently been spotted lurking in the shadows (see photo). Rods and reels are provided.
Spectacular sunrises over the Atlantic are available off of the master bedroom balcony. You will sleep like a baby in our beds, as they all have have 600 thread count sheets. The master bathroom and all bedrooms were renovated 10/08 - new paint, carpets, etc. All 3 bedrooms have a tropical theme decor.
High speed wirelss Internet, with coverage out to the pool will let you send your pics to everyone before you leave Paradise. Family room TV has a 40" plasma TV - 2 additional color TVs are in the bedrooms. We go the extra and pay for premium cable TV, so you get HBO, etc.
The house sits on an unusually large lot, large enough to fit two houses. It sits way back from the street, ensuring your privacy (see photo). Hot tub is on the back deck with a picnic table and a Weber gas grill. We also provide an extra tank of propane gas, just in case you run out when you're cooking that special dinner.
Our house is fully furnished with everything you’d expect – towels, linens, microwave, toaster, etc…..and yes, there’s a blender. We also go the extra mile and provide the miscellaneous household products such as laundry detergent, dish soaps, paper towels, etc. No need to hassle with these upon your arrival.
To assist in making your stay more enjoyable, we will also provide a list of restaurants, including those off the beaten path that only the locals can find. When you arrive you'll have chocolates on your pillows and fresh cut flowers on your table. This house has it all!
