Good accommodation but equipment not up to standard

The property is generally great and we were comfortable as a party of five. However, the kitchen equipment was not up to standard. The frying pans were either dirty or the coating had come off. There was only one large saucepan, which is not sufficient for a property that houses up to 8 persons. We contacted the property manager via email and text but did not receive a response at first. We had to call another manger before we received a response. Eventually the property manager organised for additional equipment to be provided. The BBQ looked like it had not been used for a long time and we decided to cook the meat on the stove, having received new frying pans, as we didn't fancy spending our time to clean the BBQ. The area downstairs could do with some TLC. Also, one of the bikes had a flat tyre. The property manager organised for this to be fixed after we raised it, but it should have been checked before we arrived. On the positive side, the accommodation is comfortable, with plenty of space, inside and out. The master bedroom matrass was very comfy. The mattrass topper on the double is on the small side and doesn't cover all of the mattrass. The location is great as it's possible to walk to Sombrero Beach and to the supermarket, or use the bicycle. It was great not to have to rely on the car at all times.

Marathon in the Middle

The good:The house inside was clean and nice! Nicely decorated, updated, and comfortable. I had to empty and adjust ice maker, but everything else worked as it should. It has a noticeable musty beach smell to it, but we liked it. Smelled like "vacation". The bad:The outside of the property has been washed in Florida dirt for several years, and it looks that way. The hot tub was disappointing. It was incredibly dirty and water mold covered all the jets. The intake screen was completely covered in scum and the water level was a foot low. I reported it the day we arrived but never received a reply. A few days later, I drained it myself, flushed and cleaned the jets and scrubbed the tub. It was really nice after that. All but 2 of the beach chairs were rusted and broken. Those 2 are on last legs. The kayaks are cool idea, but there is a 3-4 foot drop from the dock to the water, with only a pool ladder. No good way to launch or get back out. Aside from being filthy, the deck overlooking the channel is really nice. We enjoyed our stay. It would have been even better if outside matched the inside. We spent most our time away checking out the Keys so we didn't mind all that much.

Awesome anniversary vacation!

Property was just as expected! Convenient location for visiting all of the Keys… Would suggest a note or information in the packet that could give future tenants a place to donate any extra food so it doesn’t go to waste and may help others…

Presque parfait sauf que ….

Je débuterai par les points forts de cette maison : son emplacement à 5mn de Sombrero beach / sa facilité d’accès à Key Largo et Key West à 1h20 en voiture / sa magnifique terrasse qui nous a procuré des moments forts à la contemplation / les kayaks et vélos . De plus , l’intérieur de la maison est fort confortable. A l’extérieur, nous n’avions pu profiter du hamac car trop sale et du jacuzzi en raison de la température de l’eau (impossible à régler ) Maintenant , je regrette d’avoir à le dire : il y a désinformation sur sa capacité. Cette maison ne peut accueillir que 6 personnes avec aucune possibilité de convertir le canapé du salon . En conséquence , nous avons été contraints d’acheter un matelas gonflable . Par ailleurs , on nous a mis à disposition seulement 4 serviettes de bain / aucun article de toilettes mais tout de même 3 petits savons pour les matin ainsi qu’un petit flacon de lessive . Enfin et c’est le point le plus décevant : Jessica n’a répondu à aucun de mes messages . Peut-être était-elle en vacances ? Si oui, elle est pardonnée. En résumé : la maison A+ , la communication C-

Great property!! We enjoyed the downstairs seating area and especially the hammock. The hot tub was too hot to enjoy. The only negative remark would be that the kirchen needs more pots and baking dishes .

Beyond impressed!

The description of the property doesn’t do it Justice. This place is awesome! Best vacation the family ever took, mostly due to the condition of the property (very well maintained), location (on a canal with kayak access (and the kayaks are provided) and walking distance to the beach. The kitchen was great with everything needed to cook large meals. The owner of this property goes above and beyond. Will definitely use this vacation company from now on.

Friends and family keys getaway

Loved the area, the house was super close to a Publix and Winn Dixie. Also we were able to ride the bikes to the beach. The house was pretty much equipped with all your needs, like coffee maker, pots, bikes, kayaks, and a big selection of DVDs. Overall it was a good stay. Only negative things I can say about it, was they needed to clean better. Our feet were black from walking in house. Also the showers needed a good scrub, mold on shower doors. And they only gave us one roll of toilet paper and paper towels. That didn't cover our 8 day stay. BUT, plenty of room to spread out, nice seating on porch, great location.

Spring vacation

Property located in a great area easy access to shopping and entertainment. Close to sombrero beach. If you are renting a boat it takes awhile to get to ocean. Cleaning was not up to par. There were cheerios under the coffee maker and the entire place needed a good cleaning. Other than the cleanliness the home is really nice!

Amazing Honeymoon Property

This rental was absolutely perfect for our honeymoon. My husband and I throughly enjoyed our stay and we were very close to everything Marathon had to offer. There is a Publix, Walgreens, and a Winn Dixie all within 5 minutes of this property along with several restaurants! We saw iguanas on the dock of the property and several fish in the canal. This property is perfect for couples but also has room for more as it is 3 bedrooms! I will be staying here again!

Nice little haven

We had a great time in this location. It wasn’t as large as imagined from the photos but it was still perfect. The house was clean and very open. The sunset view from the outside deck and even from the couch was great! Had pretty much all the amenities and cookware that you need. They are lacking a large frying style pan which would have been nice to have since we did fry up some fish. We made do though and just did smaller batches. Dishwasher worked great. The dryer may need to have the vents cleaned. Took two dry cycles to dry towels. You are a hop, skip and a jump away from both Publix and Winn Dixie, a gas station as well as a Walgreens. Only a 5 minute bike ride to the beach and there is a McDonalds very close by but honestly the prices are absurd. In the outside storage They had 2 kayaks that we never used, 4 bikes that my kids rode daily down to the beach playground and some bait buckets and random other items at your disposal you could use. The hot tub was a nice touch for the kids. Only thing that I will agree with on other review is that the top 1,000% needs to be replaced. It’s falling apart and all of the foam insulation was falling all into the tub when we were taking it off for use. A big mess. We used our fish net to scoop it all out. The A/C was consistently cool even at 72, the master bedroom bed was super cozy both spare bedroom very comfortable per my kids. The mater shower is a bit of a tight squeeze so if you are a larger person it may not feasible to comfortably take a shower. The water pressure as nice though. Last, which was the only disappointing part of the stay for us was that checkout was at 10am so we woke up early to watch the sunrise and start packing up but the cleaning lady showed up at 8am which had us scrambling and feeling pressured to “get out now”. She stayed downstairs while we did what we needed to do but it made for an extremely stressful end of the trip as we had much more time to load our things properly but instead we just shoved everything in the car and left. That definitely needs to be corrected with the property manager. All in all, we do recommend this place and would stay again.
