Our stay was amazing! The house is wonderful! It is situated among large trees and lush landscaping making it feel private and secluded, but is also close to stores and restaurants. The wrap around porch and pool area were very relaxing. We would definitely stay here again. Philip and Linda are great host!
Great house and very attentive owners. We are VRBO Premier Hosts ourselves with many properties for decades and we were impressed with the attention to detail. Kayaks and bikes are included along with fishing rods and pool toys. Great views and lovely grounds and excellent location. Will stay again.Marielbys
We have been renting this property for several years and really enjoy it! The owners couldn't be any nicer and communicate quickly if there are any issues which are very rare.The kitchen was also recently renovated and it looks superb!We've booked this property again next year knowing what to expect.You can't go wrong here!!!You can't go wrong
We had a wonderful time during our stay. The house and pool were clean and the outdoor area was beautiful. We had a great time fishing off the dock, swimming, kayaking and just relaxing. We would definitely return!!
We loved everything about this vacation home. Well taken care of with plenty of things to do. Fished off the dock, caught some neat fish, saw manatees swimming next to the dock, quick kayak trip, bicycle ride to the beach a few times, and lots of pool time too. So convenient to the stores and great restaurants in the area. The house had everything you need for amenities. Amazing 8 day stay of enjoying this tropical private retreat. Gorgeous property inside and outside and would stay again. Don't pass up booking this Marathon property. Hidden Gem.
That's what it felt like, our own private resort. The abundant flora and fauna had us totally isolated from neighboring properties yet we still had a lovely and expansive view of the lagoon where we saw dolphins and manatees. The home was lovely both inside and out. The house description did not do it justice, it was even more beautiful than listed. We had use of numerous outdoor equipment, washer/dryer, well equipped kitchen, and a very, very relaxing pool and garden area. I can not see another rental experience ever being as nice as this. Oh, and communication with the owners was very quick. "Thank you" to the home owners.
This property was so wonderful!! Can't wait to stay here again. So peaceful and quiet (except for the dirt movers across the water). Very comfortable house and so close to many restaurants and activities!!
Great place to stay and the owners are very nice. This place is unique because of the nice green gardens and screened in wrap around porch. 3rd time staying here and hope to stay here again someday!
We've rented the property for many years and really enjoy our visit every time
You couldn't ask for a better place to stay in the Keys!
We will be back next year.
You'll feel like you are at your very own mini resort. Great location and perfect set up for adults and kids alike. The owners checked on us soon after we arrived. They have thought of everything to make for a perfect stay.
This is our second time here and will not be our last. Love the set up of the house, the screened in porch, the pool of course, basically love everything.
Know you will enjoy your time as well.
We had a great Spring Break at your home. Thank you for sharing. The location was fantastic. The kids loved riding bikes and we all enjoyed fishing right off the dock catching tons of fish. The pool was also fantastic.
The property was as expected. Everything was extremely clean and comfortable. The pool and property is very private and you feel unlike any other rental we have visited in Marathon.
Phil was very responsive and welcoming. He helped us quickly get dialed into the fishing and addressed any questions immediately. We really appreciated his help and responsiveness.
We chose this listing as we loved the lush landscape, privacy, and shade this property offered. Additionally, it is tucked back on a culdesac so there’s not much traffic and it offers more parking than your usual house in the area. Although there are no fans on the wraparound porch, it provided a great escape for our little one who is less than a year and a very active crawler. The pool, of course, is roomy enough for the entire family and then some! Overall, we are satisfied with our stay and would recommend to others.
Had a great stay as we've stayed here many times over the years. Couldn't ask for a quieter area and the owners were very good with communication.
Highly recommend for anyone wanting to rent a house in the keys.
Definitely will return next year.
