Amazing place for a Marathon vacation! And, wheelchair accessible!

There is not one thing I would change with this property!! We had the best week vacationing with 3 families ages 2-72. The view is beautiful!The house is immaculate. The furnishings are incredibly comfortable, including ALL the beds! Seriously, this place has the best beds in every room! The kitchen is fully stocked with quality appliances & accessories. The pool was perfect.The dock access was great for our boat & a rental pontoon. The ice machine in the garage was very convenient for fishing. We enjoyed seeing all the sea life from the dock with some pretty spectacular Manatee shows daily!!! The elevator worked perfectly for wheelchair access to all levels. The ramp in the garage was maybe not ada guidelines but worked great for us.The bedrooms, doorways & most of the bathrooms are accessible. The walk to Sombrero beach was pleasant even with toddlers. Multiple delicious restaurants were a short drive.The host Jeff was more than knowledgeable about all things Marathon & happy to share it with us. He checked in a few times to ensure our time was perfect & it was! This is not some cookie cutter place. The owners have made it a home away from home in paradise!

Perfect family vacation

This was a perfect spot for our annual family gathering. There was plenty of room for seven adults, and the elevator was a super bonus for us since we are all over 55. The pool was very nice, and the view from all three levels is beautiful. The owners are terrific; they provided restaurant recommendations and gave us traffic updates for our drive home. Marathon is very convenient for exploring the various islands in the keys.

Family Spring break Trip

This house could not of been any better for our family. We had 8 adults and 4 kids under 8. It is beautiful and really set up for family time and also private time. We had a couple with2 children in the 1st level master. It had a king and queen fold out sofa and kitchen. The second floor bedroom was used by a couple and the 3rd floor was for another couple and there 2kids and then my husband and I in the 2nd master. The elevator in the house was awesome and made it easy to bring things in and out and to transfer between floors. The kitchen was well equipped with top notch appliances. The house is only a 10 minute walk to Sombrero beach and the pool is just great. The house is equipped with lots of beach chairs, towels and 2kayaks for the canal area off the pool. The house and area were very quiet. It is very convenient location to stores and restaurants. Jeff was an awesome host. He was so helpful with giving us suggestions on places to go and restaurants since we were very unfamiliar with the area. Any question we had on our stay were answered very quickly. Marathon was a great place to visit with lots to do and beautiful beaches and weather.

Absolute Paradise: A Month of Bliss

We just spent an incredible month at this stunning property and honestly, words can't fully capture how perfect it was. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away. The house itself was immaculate - spotless, modern, and incredibly comfortable. The beds were heavenly, with the softest pillows I've ever slept on!The location was unbeatable. Being just steps from the beach was a dream come true. The backyard was an oasis, complete with a private dock that was perfect for our boat. The pool was the ideal temperature, providing the perfect respite from the heat.The owner, Jeff, was incredibly hospitable and went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible stay. He was incredibly communicative, responding promptly to any questions we had. He also provided us with valuable recommendations for local restaurants and nearby attractions, which greatly enhanced our vacation experience. His attention to detail and genuine care made us feel truly welcome, sincerely a home away from home.We really appreciated the well-lit pedestrian path that parallels the road, especially during evening hours. It's ideal for leisurely strolls, jogging, or even cycling. The sunset was stunning both from the idyllic Sombrero Beach, and the third floor master bedroom.This property truly had everything we could have asked for. It was the perfect blend of luxury and relaxation. We highly recommend this rental to anyone seeking a memorable vacation experience.

Great Property in Marathon

The location of this place couldn't be better; close to the beach, grocery stores, fish markets, and great local restaurants. The rental was clean and well appointed. There were bedrooms for everyone and the common area had room for all. Jeff and Amber did a great job of checking us in, answering questions, providing restaurant recommendations, information about activities, etc. The garage was full of things to use such as bikes, beach chairs, wagon to take it all to the beach, coolers, and a great ice machine!! There is also a pile of beach towels available to use. Overall, we would recommend this place, and plan to stay here on our next trip to Marathon!!

Great family trip/80th birthday celebration

House was beautiful, very clean, AWESOME ice machine, bikes/kayaks, kitchen had everything we needed. Very comfortable for 9 adults. Elevator made moving in/out a breeze. Excellent communication with the owner, readily available. The only negatives were a broken bathroom door in one of the small bedrooms (zero privacy between the bed and the toilet) and the pool umbrella was broken. Caught mahi and tuna from the boat we rented and caught a ton of fish from the dock (snapper, snook, nurse shark, etc). Able to walk to Sombrero Beach. There was everything for the beach/pool - cooler, chairs, beach towels, cart, floats, gas grill. Great views from the 2nd and 3rd floor balconies. Publix 2 min away. A/C worked great. Two refrigerators came in handy. Would definitely stay again.

Property manager, Jeff was interactive prior and during our stay. He provided key details about the property which enabled us to be knowledgeable and confident in using the elevator and other features of the property. He provided referrals for dining and other local attractions that were invaluable. We especially enjoyed the the boat dock, elevator, kayaks, pool, bikes, and ice machine.

Best host, best stay in Marathon

Jeff is the most attentive and nicest host we’ve ever had. We’ve been coming to the Keys for 20 years and this was the overall best rental experience. We stayed for two weeks with my four adult children and their spouses and a few toddlers. Plenty of room. Everything you could want and need, this home has it. Perfectly clean, plenty of room, upscale appliances and furniture. You will not be disappointed. Comfortable beds, plenty of starter supplies provided. Can’t say enough good things!

Fantastic Vacation in Marathon

The property was just as it was advertised. My husband and I are mobility challenged. The elevator was a wonderful help. Our group consisted of my husband and I, my daughter, son-in-law, my two grandsons (18 and 20), my cousin and her husband. We were able to spread out and everyone had their own bedrooms and baths. Also, our group included two poodles. There are great activities in the area! My daughter and grandsons were able to get in three days of diving. We enjoyed great restaurants. Everyone liked being able to shop in the stores in the area. One couple even drove down to Key West since they had never been. I enjoyed lounging around the pool. Marathon is a great place to vacation and your house is the perfect place there!

Family Keys Vacation

Our group was Nana and Pops, 2 sons with wives and children. Children ranged in age from 16 to 7. The property was just as it was described in the VRBO account. There were no surprises or disappointments. Having a pool kept the kids occupied and the dock provided opportunity for fishing and meeting a manatee. The boys also rented a fishing boat and docked it at the house. The owner, Jeff, was very helpful in providing fishing tips as well as any questions we had about the house or area. Everyone in our group was very pleased and hated to leave! To quote our 7 year old grandson: “I want to come back to this house next year!” All in all, this rental provided together time for our busy family and also provided private space for each family unit.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Mitchell

Host profile image
We love the Florida Keys and Marathon. Please come enjoy our little slice of paradise! We are very familiar with all Marathon has to offer. We can answer just about any questions you may have when it comes to restaurants, fishing, snorkeling, sand bars, attractions! If we are in town, we'd love to come meet you and show you around town or out on the water if you need some direction on navigating the water ways!

Why they chose this property

We love this property for many reasons. Proximity to Sombrero Beach and grocery stores! 10 minute idle to the Atlantic. Beautiful sunset from the home. Perfect location to watch fireworks that are occasionally shot from Sombrero Beach! When looking at properties in the keys we originally wanted a pure oceanfront or gulf front home. After several years, we realized that oceanfront and gulf front homes are constantly dealing with the Sargasso and gulf grasses that are naturally living in the Keys. These grasses gather in the fronts of these homes and decompose leaving, well, a not so pleasant smell. After much consideration we determined that a home on protected canal with views of the canal lake to be the perfect solution. No smell, no grass, protected from the wind makes the dock much more pleasant. When its windy and rough, you have boat access to many of the marinas and on the water restaurants without having to get out on the open water!

What makes this property unique

Sunset, Elevator, protected dockage, no Sargasso or grass odor, boat on windy days in sisters creek without having to get out on open water!
