Serene and beautiful, Sombrero Beach will be the highlight of your trip. It is only a 5 min drive to enjoy sunbathing, snorkeling, and fishing in the shallow water or playing volleyball or digging sandcastles on the sandy shore. There are also BBQ grills, a playground, and a pier.
The area around Sombrero Beach also offers a wealth of things to do. Snorkel in the calm waters of Sombrero Reef, the third-largest coral reef in the world or visit the sea turtles at the Turtle Hospital or dive in with dolphins at the Dolphin Research Center in nearby Grassy Key. Plenty of diving and deep-sea fishing charters within minutes.

The house is beautiful, clean and has lots of space. The pool and spa were awesome. It’s set away from the traffic and congestion but easily accessible to everything. Ideal for family or multi-couple vacations. Would definitely rent there again!
Wonderful property to stay. Clean, nice area of marathon, fun amenities. The pool and outside lounge area was beautiful and a hit with the kids! Would stay here again.

Nice place, needs better maintenance
Needs to be cleaned up, and a few repairs. Not worth the price we paid, in my opinion, but it was still enjoyable.
What a great house. So clean and beautifully decorated. It has everything you need to relax and enjoy the Keys. The pool was awesome and the access to the Atlantic or Gulf was so short and easy. Our boat looked awesome on the dock!! The property manager was always available for us when we had a question. She was great. We will definitely book again!!

Hi Pete
We would welcome you guys back anytime!! We are so ecstatic that you enjoyed your stay and the manager was so easily reached. The Owner and Manager really try to make the guest feel like home away from home.
Close to Sombrero Reef by boat. House was well laid out and clean. Pool area was nice with plenty of outdoor seating and a fish cleaning table. The accuracy of the listing was inaccurate, showed 2 twin beds in one of the rooms but there was one queen bed which we weren't expecting. My family and I enjoy boating,snorkeling,and fishing and this house was great for that. Would recommend
We greatly enjoyed our stay at Sweet Retreat. Plenty of room for three couples. Pool was great — very happy we asked for it to be heated in mid-February. Water was perfect. Our son brought his boat (22 footer) and had no difficulty with egress even at low tide. It does take a bit of time to navigate the canals to get to open water, but the scenery is great on the way. Overall very happy!

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this great review! This is a super house and super location! We hope you return again reel soon!
We had a group of 3 couples and there was plenty of room for everyone, we never felt crowded. The house is exactly as listed, or even better than the pictures show! The pool and tiki bar were a great place to hang out. We rented a boat for the week and there was plenty of room to dock it. The canals were easy to navigate and a great location! The team was quick to answer any questions we had, easy check in and check out procedures! They did have landscaping come in midway through the trip, which wasn’t ideal but they worked quickly. If it hasn’t been raining we would have been out on the water and would have never known! We will be staying here again! Highly recommend!

Peaceful vacation!
Love the pool which was heated and needed in February. Nicely set up home with everything you need.(Towels, pool towels, kitchen utensil, outdoor fridge and freezer, TV’s in all RM’s with cable, etc). They set you up with a starter package (Toilet paper, laundry soap, dishwasher soap and few garbage bags, few other things also) nice when first arrive!!
This place was amazing for my family of 5 plenty of space for us all. Neighbor was very quiet and peaceful like no one was even around. Beach is really close just a short drive. I will definitely be booking this place again!

We are so Happy that you and your family enjoyed your stay. We would love to have you and your family back at any time.
The home was beautiful and in a neighborhood with easy access to grocery and restaurants.
PLEASE NOTE: At the time of booking we were unaware of the extra fee for the pool to be heated, so we had to pay an extra $250. Moreover, the hot tub is UNUSABLE unless you pay the heat fee for the pool, which should also be stated somewhere.
The kitchen is very well stocked and the beds are very comfortable.

About this property
The property was in a great location close to everything the beaches were amazing. The house when we came in overall was super clean but the floors were ever dirty. You can’t see it but your feet see it. The pool and the jacuzzi were freezing. When I contacted the manager they didn’t respond and didn’t even care to respond which was kinda frustrating because we really wanted to use the jacuzzi but it was so cold. Other than those 3 things. It was great.
Great property. Worked well for 4 adults and one teenager. Location was central for grocery shopping and fishing with our boat. Great parking and fun toys like the paddle boards and kayaks. The pool was great and there were options for seating inside and out. All in all it was perfect for us and made a great stay for an amazing trip.
Everything was great; pool, patio, location and interior. My only issue is that the canal IS NOT accessible by boat at low tide. We had to move our 22' center console to a marina to use it.
Beautiful property, clean and relaxing. Nice location in the middle keys. The kitchen is very nice. The only concern we had was that the pool and particularly the spa weren't real warm. We weren't told ahead of time that paying for a heated spa meant the temp would be a maxumum of 92 degrees (it really did t get to that temp or stay there very long). The weather in Jan can be a little chilly in the evenings and we wanted to relax in the spa but couldn't.
What a wonderful house -- there was five of us -- me, my husband and 3 sons -- it fit us so well -- we loved the pool and spent a lot of time in it in the morning and then in the evening -- I would definitely recommend swimming with the dolphins at the Dolphin Institute -- we had such an awesome week and weather couldn't of been better -- thank you so much !!!!!
Loved the house and location. Rental office was extremely nice and prompt with any questions we had. Lovely pool area - only drawback for us was the hot tub not being hot enough.
