Very clean, home away from home. Keeping our boat right behind the house was easy and hassle free. Jeff & Mary were extra accommodating with our boat to make sure we had adequate space.

Very clean and cute home. Owners were very helpful with information on things to do and places to go. Best part of vacation was the manatees coming up to dock. They hung out for a while and were so playful and cute.

Perfect vacation!

This home was perfect for a couple of days with our friends, a couple of days by ourselves lounging by the pool, and a couple of days with our two young children. We loved sitting on the porch, swimming and kayaking, as well as all that there is to do in Marathon. Wonderful trip!!!

Perfect home for us to stay as a family of 5, husband, wife, 15, 13, and 7 year old. They loved the pool and kayaks provided. The canal was beautiful, neighbors were nice and we saw a couple manatees right on the canal next to the home. Marathon is great to stay one place and travel up or down the keys and come back to a great middle home.

Had a great Stay

Couldn't of asked for a better stay. The house was immaculate, the beds were very comfortable, and the poo; was just the right size for swimming Jeff was very quick with any response. If we stay in the Keys again, this will be the first house I would consider. Thanks for everything!

Charmed by Marathon

My family (2 year old son, husband and I) had the best time in Marathon and at this home. It was better than the pictures gave it credit and there is so much to do for littles in and around Marathon. The pool was warm and we spent so much time in there everyday. Would highly recommend staying here!

Amazing Home and Vacation!

We stayed for a week and absolutely LOVED the home! Its a great house and a terrific pool. Its on a great location and we could have not been happier with it. The home is beautiful and exceeded our expecations. We ate at lot of good local restaurants and enjoyed the pool and the beaches on a daily basis. We would recommend this place to anyone and look forward to our return! We are so thankful that we now have a vacation place we love!!!!

Great Rental!

Great stay at the Lemon Key Cottage. Clean, modern, and a wonderful layout. The owners are amazing, extremely responsive and are always there to help you make your trip to the Florida Keys extra special. You get the feel you're staying at a friend's house. We brought our jet ski and the home had everything we needed to accommodate all our on and off the water activities. A+ rental for sure!

The Hosts for this place are wonderful and very responsive. the place has everything thing you need and some additional supplies left by other guests or the hosts but all well organized. we enjoyed to beautiful home decor and cable. the pool is beautiful and perfect temperature and siting in the outdoor furniture or lanai was the best. we also enjoyed morning walks and how close everything was but not so close that it was still quite. Great Neighbors too. Thank you Mary and Jeff

Paradise

This was the perfect home for our family of 4! It was like home away from home… beautiful house with everything you could possibly need, amazing backyard, and convenient location to everything! We spent a ton of time in the pool and loved kayaking out of the canal into the flats and exploring… we found a huge starfish and a baby nurse shark in one of our adventures! Neighbors were awesome… we went out fishing with Eddie twice and he was so patient with our young boys and put us right on top of fish! Jeff and Mary were awesome hosts! Will definitely stay here again when we return to marathon!

Perfection!

Lemon Key Cottage was amazing! The location cannot be beat: close to the ramp to drop your boat in, straight shot out to go fishing, close to Publix market, Walgreens, dive shops, etc. The house is beautifully renovated and we had not a single issue with check in (nor throughout our stay). The only small problem I had was that the bed was way too comfortable and I did not want to get out of it for early morning fishing with my family. Mary and Jeff were very communicative and kind. I really appreciate them sharing their beautiful home!

Lemon Key Cottage

We found the home to be very comfortable for four adults.The kitchen was well-equipped and the appliances where in good condition. The bedrooms were very comfortable with plenty of room. Bathrooms were dated but very clean and in good working order.The back yard, such as it was, was great for lounging, once we got the afternoon shade.The pool was perfect, very warm and clean and the pool lighting at night was especially nice. We would have rated this home a four but we found some of the homes in the neighborhood run down and scruffy. The actual location of the home was great, close to everything and centrally located, very good for road trips to the keys that were north and south (Key Largo, Key West, etc). Also, the home's location would have been ideal for someone that wanted to boat, canoe, kayak, fish, etc. We didn't avail ourselves of any of those, but had a great time anyway! The owners were very accommodating and overall if was a great visit. Tom and Sue

Lemon Key Cottage is meticulously maintained and impeccably clean, but there are very few homes throughout the keys archepelago that may have a 'relaxed' facade. Most people say that this is the character of a 'keysey' life of the Conch Republic. You will likely sit next to highly accomplshed, successful, and very wealthy person in a Marathon bar and never suspect it. A great majority of our renters enjoy the 'come as you are' mistique of the Keys, and the unpretentious demeanor of the habitants. I'm sure you will too...

Beautifully Decorated Home in a Great Location

We spent a memorable week at Lemon Key Cottage in Marathon, Florida to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary with our teenage son. The home was immaculate and beautifully decorated, with a spacious layout and some of the most comfortable beds we've ever slept on. The updates inside the house were impressive—modern, stylish, and very thoughtfully done. The private pool was a wonderful place to relax (though a touch cool for our taste), and we loved the peek-a-boo ocean views from the house. The location was excellent—close to shopping, great local restaurants, and just a short drive to Sombrero Beach. The property manager was helpful, and the hosts were always responsive and friendly whenever we had questions. While there were quite a few instructions posted around the house, we understand the owners are just trying to preserve the home’s quality. It did require a bit of extra mindfulness on our part, but overall, it didn’t take away from our experience too much. We were glad we visited early in the season, as the thermostat was locked at a fixed setting—it was a little warm at times, but the ceiling fans throughout the house helped keep us thankfully cooler and more comfortable. If you're looking for a quiet, well-kept, and stylish home in the heart of the Keys, Lemon Key Cottage is a lovely choice.

Everything you could possibly want in a vacation home!

Where do I even begin? We had a wonderful, relaxing. and fun time with our daughter and son-in-law. Lemon Key Cottage is BEAUTIFUL, immaculate, spacious, beautifully decorated and outfitted with everything you need (and then some) to begin enjoying your vacation from the first minute you arrive. The bedrooms include a HUGE en suite with a lovely reading couch as well as a good sized bedroom right across from another full sized bathroom. There is a third full sized bathroom with a washer and dryer located adjacent to the screened in lanai which particularly handy for changing after using the pool. The property is absolutely lovely with potted palm plants, lime trees and palm trees overlooking the pool. The back yard of the property is right on the canal and we enjoyed hours of fishing with the fishing equipment provided by the owners. We caught a small barracuda, some snappers and even a small tarpon, right from our back yard! There is also a large gas grill in the back yard but we were far too busy having a good time to even think of cooking!The pool is very pretty and a good size. There is plenty of seating with lounge chairs and a large sectional outdoor sofa with very comfortable cushions. The pool area can be lit up at night and the view of the stars from the back yard is amazing, The neighborhood is very quiet but the neighbors we did meet were very friendly and gracious.We can't wait to return next year!
