This house was perfect for our group. Clean, well stocked and we took advantage of all the games. Everyone in our group said it was the best keys house we have ever stayed in (been coming every year for the past 10 years). Well worth it.

It’s awesome to hear you took advantage of all the games and that the house stood out as the best Keys rental your group has stayed in after 10 years of coming down. That is a huge compliment and means a lot. Thanks again for staying with us. We’d love to host you anytime you are back in Marathon. Eric

We had the best trip! The house was awesome—perfectly located right on the water where we saw manatees right from the dock. The house was spotless and fully equipped with everything we needed. Plus, there were so many fun games for us to enjoy! Eric was a great host, very responsive, and made the whole experience easy. We cannot wait to come back!

Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! I’m thrilled you had the best trip and that Captain’s Retreat checked every box for your stay. Seeing manatees from the dock is one of the coolest Marathon experiences, and I’m so glad you got to enjoy that, along with the games and amenities. I also really appreciate you mentioning how clean and well equipped the home was, and the kind words about communication. You were fantastic guests, and I’d love to host you again next year. Eric

We had a great time at this property! With such a large group, it was perfect. The sectional had plenty of space for seating. Everyone had their own room. All the adults had king beds and the teenagers even had queen sized bunk beds. We really enjoyed playing pool and ping pong each day, and played several of the games on the infinity table. The outdoor area was really nice. The pool and hot tub were very relaxing especially in the evenings after a long day. The location was perfect for lots of activities in the area and it was an easy drive to Key West a couple of times during our stay. Communication with the host was quick and easy. We would highly recommend this property!

Thank you so much for the wonderful 5-star review! I’m really glad Captain’s Retreat was such a great fit for your large group and that everyone had plenty of space to be comfortable. It’s great to hear the bedroom setup worked well for both the adults and teenagers, and that the pool table, ping pong, and Infinity Game Table got plenty of use. I’m also happy you enjoyed the pool and hot tub in the evenings after your days out exploring Marathon and Key West. Thanks again for the kind words about communication and for the recommendation. You were fantastic guests, and I’d love to host you again anytime you’re back in the Keys. Eric

The house and property were described very well in the listing. The house is large and spacious with a great entertaining area outside. We did not rent a boat or use the canal at all. Property is located minutes from the gas station, grocery store and restaurants/Bars. Nearest beach was a short 10 minute drive, you do have to pay for parking at the beach just a heads up. We had 10 adults on the trip, property was liked by everyone and enough space for everyone to be together or have your own little area.

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! I’m really glad the home matched the listing and that your group had plenty of space to be together while still having room to spread out that balance is exactly what we want for larger trips. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the outdoor entertaining area, and that the location made it easy to get to groceries, gas, and restaurants without a long drive. And thank you for the helpful heads-up about beach parking, that’s good info for future guests planning beach days. You were wonderful to host, and I’d love to have you back anytime you’re in Marathon again (boat or no boat!). -Eric
