Indigo Reef - Fabulous get away!

What they say in their listing but better! Very clean, plenty of space for 2 couples. The property has a fabulous pool! Very close to beaches and many good restaurants! An hour away from Key West. Walk the 7 mile bridge (4 miles). So fun, so relaxing! Great communication with Mario & Louders. We will be back!

Summer Vacation 2023

First time visit to Marathon. My family and I stayed at the Seaside Escape. The villa had everything we needed . It was very clean, and the kitchen had everything for cooking meals so we didn’t really eat out much. I loved sitting on the back deck while the kids went fishing on the canal pier. The pool was so nice and was only a quick walk from the home . Beach towels and chairs were available for our use. The owners were very responsive and easy to communicate with . Would definitely recommend Seaside Escape.

Paradise Found: Stunning Views & Tranquility

Our stay at Indigo Reef Resort in Marathon was nothing short of fantastic. The property was beautifully maintained, featuring stylish décor and spacious indoor and outdoor areas that made relaxing a breeze. The views—especially the sunsets—were breathtaking, and we spent every evening on the porch, wine in hand, taking in the stunning scenery.Traveling with an infant was seamless, thanks to the thoughtful inclusion of a high chair and pack and play. The pool was perfect—secluded and peaceful—making it an ideal spot to unwind. While the air traffic out of Marathon was noticeable, it added an interesting touch rather than being disruptive.The house had everything we needed, and the owners were excellent with communication, making check-in easy and hassle-free. Though we regret not utilizing the boat slip, it was a valuable perk. The location was also great, with plenty of activities within a short drive.Overall, a wonderful stay at a picturesque and well-equipped property—we would absolutely return!

Stunning house, perfect location, great hosts!

We had the most wonderful stay at this fabulous house. The property is beautifully furnished to a very high spec and is so clean throughout, loads of space and really well equipped. It really takes your breath away when you arrive. The location is awesome too - we loved Marathon and Indigo Reef (the lovely pool and boat dock are a huge plus) and the actual location of the house is arguably one of the best on the site. The terrace from the living room looks out to stunning sunsets over the sea - so we enjoyed some super dinners ‘at home’. And the review would not be complete without a shout to Mario and Lourdes’ wonderful hospitality - they went out of their way to make us feel at home, even leaving a welcome hamper and fresh flowers. Communication was great, but not intrusive (including great recommendations on boat rental and restaurants) - we were so grateful for all their help. If we could give this property 10 stars instead of 5, honestly we would - having rented through VRBO and others for many years, this is one of our best experiences. Huge thanks to Mario and Lourdes for a fabulous vacation.

Nice but cold and dark

This is hard. I have never written a bad review before. The first day I went out for a walk and I got locked out of their electronic key system for three hours. They finally called me back and I got access to actual keys. They should have a contact number available 24/7.The lighting in the unit was cold and the switches were confusing and some were useless. It needs a new interior designer. However, the master bedroom was great. This one is off my list. Mario and Lourdes were very nice. I just wish they were more attentive.

Thank you for your feedback. We take great pride in the fact that every review prior to yours has received 5 stars, without any complaints regarding the items you mentioned or concerns about our responsiveness as hosts. We strive to provide a 5-star experience for all our guests and appreciate your comments. However, I would like to clarify that our electronic lock system is designed for ease of use. We received your request at 8:24 AM and responded by 10:08 AM—within less than 2 hours—providing manual keys promptly. The issue was not with the lock itself, but rather due to the safety lock being engaged before you left the unit. We are proud of our newly remodeled unit, which features advanced technology, and we are always here to help our guests navigate it. We understand that high-end technology can sometimes be confusing, and we encourage guests to reach out for assistance if they encounter any issues. While we aim to provide a modern experience, we also understand that some guests may prefer simpler, old style non-dimmable switches, which can be found in the older units of the resort. Those units may be a better fit for you in the future. Regarding your comment about the unit being “cold,” this may be related to unfamiliarity with dimmer switches or electronic temperature controls. We would have loved the opportunity to help you understand them better, but unfortunately, you did not respond to our numerous messages asking if everything was in order. Ensuring our guests have a great experience is our top priority. Thank you again for your feedback.

Wow! A++ Property & Hosts

Holy Cow! The property was spectacular. It was immaculately clean when we arrived, and the townhouse is gorgeous. It's very spacious and updated all around. Chairs, couches and beds are very comfortable. The 3 bedrooms all access very nice decks, and there's a large deck off of the main level facing the water. Fantastic place to watch the sunsets. The hosts were probably the most accommodating and gracious that I've run across. They contacted us several times to see what they could do to help us enjoy our vacation, and even offered to send the cleaning crew back out if we found anything that needed tending to (we didn't - - everything was perfect). The hosts were very responsive to emails and/or texts, and I really had the impression that they wanted everything to go perfect for us. They seem like very nice people. Don't think twice about booking this property - you won't regret it. It's probably in one of the better locations of all the units. Most of the units face a common courtyard where the docks and pool is located, this one (along with a strip of 5-6 others) is much more private and sits off from the rest. Parking is right in front of the unit. I usually find at least some small negative things to mention in a review, but I honestly have nothing negative to say about the property or the hosts. I'd rate it higher than perfect if there were such a thing.
