Thanks so much for the great review and we hope you will stay with us again on your next Keys Get-away!
Took you daughters for a getaway and had a fantastic time. The front yard had room for the truck and trailer and the boat slip in back was very useful. Wouldn’t hesitate to come back again.

good home for a week or 2 stay. Home was very clean - has access for boat and has all amenities you'd need. Very attentive managers -we had an issue with the dishwasher and they were there to quickly remediate it. Would definitely rent again.

Thanks so much for the great review and hopefully we will see you again on your next Keys vacation!
The house is located in a quiet neighborhood, it is clean, and cozy. It is next to a docking place for boats.
We saw manatees one morning in the water next to the house.
The property manager is great and is fast answering emails/concerns.
We highly recommend this house.

The property is clean and well maintained. The patio facing the dock is nicely furnished and screened in. The house is in the heart of Marathon which makes shopping and other activities easily accessible. The boat dock offered plenty of room for our 24 foot boat. It’s a really quaint little place.

We really appreciate your wonderful review of out little piece of paradise. We hope you will join us again on your next Keys vacation!
House was nice, had everything we needed. Loved the canal… neighbors were very nice and loved to share local information. This house is on the landing path for the airport and you can hear them all hours of the day and night…. But over all it’s a very nice house! Could use lights outside in the backyard.

We really appreciate the wonderful 5 star review and hope to see you again on your next Keys vacation!
The property was clean and perfect for our small family (2 adults and a 6 & 8 year old). I loved that the guest bedroom had 2 separate twin beds so the kids didn’t have to share a bed. Location - quiet neighborhood and a quick drive to anything you need. Parking - just fine for our 16ft boat’s trailer & our full size truck. Canal - the idle zone is VERY long to go anywhere by boat. Dockage - (our only challenge we ran into) when the tide is low, the metal docking pillars do not reach low tide water level. We had to run to Home Depot and get 1x2s to strap to the pillars & down into the water so our 16ft Key Largo boat wouldn’t drift underneath and get stuck under water when the tide would rise. Easy fix. Would stay here again for the price.
This place was just right for our trip to the keys. Nice, neat, clean what else do you need? Recently RE-done with great colors and the canal is great if you have a boat to dock. If you are reading this just say yes!!!

Thanks so much for the glowing review! I hope this means you will be joining us again soon!
Accommodations were very nice. Being the covid season I stopped down the house when we arrived. I was surprised to find the porch furniture wasn't clean & some of the drawers in the kitchen had sticky finger prints on them. Not sure the house was thoroughly cleaned before we arrived. It was a nice location. Everything was upgraded & we didn't have to deal with a homeowner bothering is during the stay.

easy to find and simple checkin. Walking distance to several Restaurants and shops. Dive shop & boat across street. Lots more to do nearby. Nice private home.
Me and my family really enjoyed the place. It was great to have a spot to dock my boat right in the back on a private dock and a place in the driveway to park my trailer. Kitchen was well Setup with everything you could need. Beds were super comfortable and living area was great for relaxing. Back patio was a great place for morning coffe and evening cocktails. Thanks again.
