Paradise

The property was excellent and the location was paradise! From fishing from the dock to swimming in the pool...sipping drinks on the deck and under the tiki hut was all amazing! This home was everything I could have dreamed of for our family vacation celebrating our son's 13th birthday!

Perfect As Always

Loved my stay again this year! Fifth stay here at Little Venice. This spot is so relaxing and beautiful . Home is so clean and very close to restaurants, shopping and local attractions. All the comforts of home and the most spectacular water views! The pool was the perfect temperature to cool off on the warm afternoons. I can’t wait until next year!

Paradise

This was our third stay in this beautiful house. LOVE! Most peaceful and relaxing vacation as always. It was our treat to ourselves to celebrate our anniversary. Wish the rates hadn’t increased for next year as we will never find such a nice location. It’s now out of our price range but highly recommend this beauty.

Beautiful Oceanfront Home

This home in Marathon was absolutely stunning! Extremely clean, everything you need to have a comfortable stay. The views are amazing! Fishing right off the dock was our favorite past time. We saw manatees and a friendly stroll of a resident iguana each day. We visited the nearby aquarium and went on a sunset catamaran cruise. The restaurants in Marathon were excellent and our favorite was Lazy Days. Loved staying in this home and have already rebooked for next year!

Great stay!

We had everything we needed here. Saw manatees, sea turtles, dolphins, and iguanas. We saw giant eels coming out of the rocks under the dock. We fished from the dock every day. We love the outdoor shower with hot water. We made friends with the neighbors and they sent us home with the best mangos we’ve ever had. Would love to come back one day.

Perfect location

Everything was as described in the listing. The location and the view were just perfect. Fishing right from the property and the pool were great. The area was quiet but there’s very easy access to the main road and many wonderful restaurants in Marathon. Pharmacies and grocery stores are nearby. Loved the screened porch. Had coffee out there every morning. Would definitely recommend this property!

Great house for a family getaway!

Very nice house. Comfortably fit 6 adults. It was nice being right on the water and the saltwater pool was great. Easy access to lots of restaurants and Sombrero Beach. Close enough to Key West for day trips. Greatly enjoyed our stay.

Cozy,clean, great view

Property listed accurately and was very comfortable. The pool was warm, and the view was nice. The only suggestion we would include is that some accessories like beach chairs, a cooler, more beach towels and some hooks outside or a rack for wet clothes would be nice for those who enjoy the beach.

Had plently of nice towels and pool towels and very comfortable beds. Tiki hut was great for our evening meals watching sunsets and morning coffee sunrises from our own backyard!

Didn't want to leave

Our family had such a great time at this property. It was our first time in the Keys. We couldn't get enough of the views. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was well stocked for cooking at home. The neighborhood was quiet and safe to walk our dog. The pool was always the perfect temperature. We enjoyed fishing off the dock every day. We loved Curly's Coffee around the corner for our morning coffee fix. If you have kids, the Turtle Hospital was a great time. Key West was just about an hour drive for a nice day trip. Must try Lick It BBQ about 13 miles North. We highly recommend this property and can't wait to come back!

Wonderful place to kick back and relax!

We came to celebrate our daughters college graduation and husbands retirement! It was everything we had hoped for. The house was spacious, clean, and updated. The beds were so comfortable! The pool was a must in the south Florida heat and the water views were stunning! There is a beautiful view from every window! We saw a manatee and sea turtle within reach of the sea wall. We will be back!

This property was perfect for my family. Excellent view of the ocean, and a nice pool to enjoy after coming back from a day of fishing. The gazebo was nice to enjoy the view while not cooking in the sun. Inside seemed new and clean. Would definitely visit here again.

2nd year staying

Everything is in working order at the house. Being completely honest, there is a moderate pigeon problem in the rafters outside the home, so much as the poop became a daily problem. Other than that...we love the view, plenty of towels...kitchen stocked well as we cooked every day. Would like to stay again...great location
