OPEN MAR 29-APR 5 2025. GATED~HTD POOL! LG PRIVATE PROPERTY~SPRING SPECIALS 2025

WELCOME TO "SITTIN AT THE DOCK OF THE BAY"

Spectacular lower level 2 bedroom-1 bath located in Coco Plum near many marinas and on a deep-water open bay. Upper level is not rented and is private, you will rent this property and enjoy your privacy with full lower-level access! You will not be disappointed in how we have decorated inside our sweet piece of paradise but, the view... you get to see just about everything anywhere you stand, and it is simply stunning!! Location, location, location! *******You do not share this property with anyone while you are renting, nobody is in upper level of home.*******
Our beautiful piece of paradise is located in the lower level of house on a massive double lot property with plenty of room for boat trailers and vehicles. Our home is set up for wheelchair accessibility for anyone in need with a wheelchair, walker or crutches at both front and back walkways. Sit and relax on the back deck area and watch all the sea life and wildlife near our home, we even have our local hens who like to have a few chicks throughout the year, and it is with great pleasure to let you know they love to eat the no see ums in the mangroves!!
We are located on the Island of Coco Plum, near the City of Marathon, and are tucked away near marinas so you will have plenty to do while sitting at the dock or our undercover patio area or our back patio veranda. Our home is on a deep-water open water canal overlooking Bonefish Bay in Coco Plum. We are very close to so many marinas to launch your boat(s) or watercraft for an easy check in or check out when you arrive or depart. The easiest and free boat launch is located near the Island Fish Company, just a few short blocks from our home.
Two very nice docks are available on our property for your convenience with ladders for easy access to get on or off your boat(s). We use the plural term as we do have the two docks. The Atlantic side of the island is where we are located, and it takes a short 10-15 minutes to open water and out to fish the best Mahi-Mahi, Tuna off the humps, or stay close to the island for some of the best Mangrove Snapper you can eat!
We offer a bait freezer for the avid fishing person(s), a LP gas grill for fabulous daily grilling of your choice and we provide a kayak. Bike and Kayak rentals throughout Marathon that will deliver and pick up for your convenience.
Inside our home we offer an open kitchen/living room concept with an amazing view of the open water from the back deck, either off the living room or master bedroom. Imagine listening to the birds early in the morning if you want to keep the doors open in the cooler nights! Our kitchen is fully stocked with just about anything you need and if we don’t have it, let us know. For those who like their coffee strong or decaf, we provide a regular coffee pot and a Keurig, microwave for the quick and easy eaters, toaster oven, brand new flat top stove, and a French Door refrigerator with ice and water dispenser. A dishwasher is provided if you don’t like to do dishes, who does? Just off the kitchen area behind a pantry door is a full-sized washer and dryer for your convenience.
Our Master Bedroom has a very comfy king-sized bed, dresser with 32-inch smart TV, and nice walk-in closet for those guests who want to stay with us more than 7 days. 2nd bedroom offers 2 twin beds, dresser and closet for added sleeping with family or guests and our sofa in the living room is a pull-out sofa sleeper if you need room for up to 6 guests.
The living room has a sofa-sleeper, loveseat and chair nestled in the nicely decorated space to help make you feel like you are certainly in Shangri-La-pure paradise! A 46-inch smart TV is in the living room area with cable for your convenience and a phone for local calls if needed. We do have secured wireless internet for those who want to get away and still have to work; we won’t tell anyone you are at our home; it will be our little secret if you work remotely! Our bathroom offers a fully glassed-in shower with plenty of room on the counter.
Close attractions to our home are Aquarium Encounters, Curry Hammock State Park, Coco Plum Beach, an all-natural beach. We are about 4-5 miles from the Dolphin Research Center located in Grassy Key and 3-4 miles from the World-Famous Turtle Hospital or Sombrero Beach and if you mosey over 3 more miles you will have reached the other World-Famous attraction-7-mile bridge!
This home is equipped with a pool heater for the cooler days and warmed up to 88 degrees and a chiller for those warm days and cooled to 85 degrees. $154/week to either chill or heat.
We look forward to hosting you and your family/friends at our bungalow of paradise and hope to see you soon while you: SITTIN' AT THE DOCK OF THE BAY"!

Great stay!
This rental was perfect for what we needed! The rental included everything we needed and we perfectly clean. Although it was located in a more business area and potential more noise during the day, it was great to not be surrounded by other rental after hours. Safe and secure, some good restaurants within walking distance. Lots of fun wildlife- iguanas, crabs, fish and birds galore! We rented a boat down the street and it was great to have the dock available. Property manager was very responsive, which was helpful. We were eager to use kayaks, but lifejackets and kayaks weren't in best shape and property manager was very responsive. The only thing that gave this 4 star was that there were cameras in every window of the 2nd floor unit. I totally understand having them for security purposes on your property, but it made us wonder if people were watching us. We didn't know if things were being recorded and it kind of creeped us out thinking if our teen girls were there in bathing suits... Just felt like something that should have been disclosed prior to rental or in the guest book. We were very respectful of property and followed the rules, but again, just didn't know if we were being constantly watched and it felt weird. Otherwise, the property was fabulous and we truly enjoyed our stay in Marathan!

Everything you can ask for
This home was just what we wanted. Spent most days on our boat that was easily docked at the house, afternoons in the pool and evenings exploring and sampling food around Marathon. If you book this home you will not regret it. Great location and home was clean and well furnished.

Peaceful and amazing location to explore the Keys
We stayed here with our small family of 3. Checkin was seamless and they even had music playing to kick off the vacation vibe. The house is situated between some small businesses and during the day there was a bit of noise, but nothing that bothered us. The view into the canal is great. It’s very private and secure with the gated property. We were able to explore many Keys attractions from the location in Marathon. The grocery is a quick drive, many snorkeling and fishing charters are within 5 mins away, all in all I would definitely recommend for the location. The house itself was very cozy and provides everything we needed for cooking and laundry through the week. When we were there, there was a heat advisory every day - making the pool temp more like a hot tub. We still swam nightly, but would recommend paying for the pool chiller if you plan on spending more time in the pool. There were a few things needing maintenance- AC filter was dirty, coffee pot didn’t fit on the maker, pool lights were not working. But the owner was very responsive and let us know she was waiting on light bulbs etc. the House is very clean and was perfect for our stay. We would definitely stay here again!

Coco Plum Paradise
Wonderful home with everything you need and more. It was very clean and fully equipped. Dock was great for boat rental, only 10 min to open water. Also caught many different types of fish off the docks with shrimp and squid bait. Pool was perfect to finish the day. Washer/dryer we’re an added bonus. Michelle was quick to respond when needed. Overall, outstanding experience and would highly recommend.

Beautiful property and fantastic location!
We had a great vacation and really enjoyed the house and especially the pool!! We picked the location so we could easily go up and down the Keys to see the sights. The property was very clean when we arrived and was a good size for our family of four. Michelle was readily available for any questions we had. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Awesome retreat
This place was a perfect retreat for my wife and I and would accommodate a family of 4 well too. They did mention fishing poles however they were not in working condition, which was very minor. The location on the bay was perfect not looking across a canal in the back of another house was great for privacy. We would definitely stay here again.

Great views in marathon
We really enjoyed our stay at the property. The house was clean and well equipped in kitchen and outdoor activities - kayaks, fishing rods, floats, coolers, tackle box. We had a good time sitting outside and relaxing. We saw manatees right next to the dock and a ray. The fishing next to the dock was all catch and release since they were all babies. Well located, easy to get to all restaurants, marinas, groceries.

Great Property & Managed well
Exactly as advertised, well maintained & clean. Location is perfect if you want access to everything in Marathon. Can quickly run to the store or hop in the water either way it's a convenient spot for most everything. Pool is heated, very private, a good bit larger than the typical dockside wade pools most canal homes would have. Most managers or management firms are just there to turn renters & make a buck. Michelle helped with several things during our stay & having someone paying attention to the proper caretaking/quality upkeep of the property helps everyone have a nice rental experience in the long run.

This home was just as advertised; everything you needed and more to have a great vacation! The space was clean and well designed inside, and the outside was exceptional! A great pool and a dock area our young sons were able to fish off of while mom and dad watched from the pool;) We saw manatee and caught quite a few fish! Great location and easy to get to everything. We would certainly stay again!

Beautiful and clean home
The home was spotless and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the pool and kayaks. We were surprised that the home was next to several industrial/ship yard areas that store boats and traps. The view directly out the back yard is of ships and equipment stored on land with the bay view to the right. There was noise during the day of workers. I imagine during lobster season the noise and boat traffic could be problematic.

Relaxing in Marathon
We loved our time at Michelle’s home. It was so relaxing, everything we needed in a beautiful home..location. We could not have selected a better place to spend our 1st vacation in over a year. Like most COVID has been the center of our lives and that made us even more grateful to be someplace new, enjoying early morning swims with sunrise, kayaking, snorkeling and amazing seafood!

Vacations are always too short
This property is clean and has all necessary kitchen items for dining. The outdoor spaces are inviting with great views to the NE. The docks are perfect for your boats. Fishing was decent from the docks as well, we caught several smaller snapper and one that was 15 1/2”! The pool was shaded in the afternoon and a great way to escape the heat. We truly enjoyed our stay. Skip Honda State Park and go to Sombrero Beach instead. Much better hidden gem.

Scuba / spear fishing starter trip
Very cute, clean, easy to get to location. Deep on a channel so expect 15 minutes before open water. Only 3 miles from Coffins Patch and 8 miles from Sombrero Reef where we immediately aimed ourselves. We had 3 days great marine forecast with our flats boat and the rest was windy. The heated pool was awesome for that and I loved the running path that gave me an easy 4 miles beside the canal and away from traffic. A couple easy Sandwich shops right there but the house comes well equipped with everything you need for cooking and Michelle was great enough to get me a roasting pan for Thanksgiving cooking!! Thank you! Really enjoyed it!
