Fantastic family set-up

Wonderful house for family of 6!

We absolutely loved our stay at Sombrero Heaven! The house is so clean and has plenty of room for 6. We loved the private pool and downstairs outdoor area. The property manager responded to texts right away, but we only had to reach out once. They came midweek to clean the pool and check chemical levels. We have already discussed booking this place for future family vacations! Loved it so much. Note - We weren’t prepared for the summer bugs in FL! We got eaten up the first night. However, we bought some supplies and were ready by night 2 and had a great time. I highly recommend choosing this rental for your vacation!

Great bachelor week with friends

Our group stayed here for a bachelor party in the keys. It was the perfect spot for home base in the middle keys, everything was super clean when we arrived, AC was cold, plenty of fridge and freezer space and nice comfortable beds. Jennifer was very responsive and easy to work with, she accommodated every request I had and got back to me within minutes if I had a question. I would highly recommend this property to any group interested in a stay in the keys.

This property was better than the pictures. Clean, comfortable, plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The best part was the nice cold, salt water pool.

About the host

Hosted by Meredith Tracy, Pineapple Properties of the Florida Keys, 407.733.2128

Host profile image
Born and raised in Canada, Marc and Nathalie moved to the USA with their two young children in 1996. After a quick stay in Seattle, the family moved to south Florida in 1998 for Marc’s work and this became their new home. The family fell in love with the Florida Keys while vacationing and had a dream to own a home in Marathon. Marc loves fishing and golfing while Nathalie enjoys spending time at the beach or by the pool.

Now that the kids are grown up, we have decided to share our home with others so you can enjoy all of what the Florida Keys have to offer. Perfect weather, beaches, great food, golf, water activities, and fishing make the Florida Keys the perfect spot for the whole family.

We hope you will enjoy our little piece of “heaven” as much as we do!

Meredith is a Property Manager and owns Pineapple Properties of the Florida Keys. She is thrilled to represent the owners. Meredith is a fifth-generation native Floridian, Meredith's first visit to the Florida Keys was 35 years ago when she was 18 years old. She went sport fishing with the legendary Captain Skip Bradeen in Islamorada, explored the islands from Key Largo to Key West, and was hooked! Meredith, her husband Barry, a realtor, and their children enjoyed vacationing in the keys for many years and after raising their family in Winter Park, Florida, Barry and Meredith moved here full time! She loves helping guests with personal recommendations of all her favorite spots to help make their vacation better than they ever imagined!

Why they chose this property

We loved the fact that this property is brand new with a great coastal design, four bedrooms, and all the updated features offered in a custom build! We think Marathon is a great location because we are not too far from the mainland, but also close enough to Key West for an easy day trip! The grocery store, great restaurants, and everything else we need is so convenient, too!

What makes this property unique

This property is unique not only because it has a neighborhood beach down the street AND a private pool! We also love the balcony that overlooks the pool and canal, as well as the patio area downstairs! This Villa truly has everything!!!
