Lovely bright airy house. Everything was clean and fresh. Plenty of linens and towels and a nice box of pool towels. The pool was great to relax in after a day on the boat. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils and crockery. Quick response from the host when contacted. We really enjoyed our stay here at Dolphin Retreat.

We had a wonderful week-long stay over the Fourth of July and would happily return! The home was one of the best-stocked vacation rentals we've stayed in. The location was perfect, and the thoughtful amenities made it feel like a home away from home.We did experience some temporary construction next door during our stay, but that was outside the owner's control. We also shared a few minor maintenance observations privately with the owners for their awareness.Overall, this is a fantastic property with owners who clearly care about providing a great guest experience. We highly recommend it and look forward to staying here again!

Extremely clean and well stocked house with everything you could need on vacation! Every bedroom has a king bed which is a BIG win for our family! The pool was so relaxing and we even had a manatee visit us at the dock one day! Megan was very responsive and the check in/out processes were so easy. 2 living rooms for us to spread out if we wanted to watch different shows or relax away from noise. It was absolutely perfect for our 9 day stay, we can’t wait to come back to Marathon!

We’d love the house, the pool was the frosting on the cake. Everything we needed was available. And after several communications with Megan, she was prompt to reply and saw that our needs were met. Would’ve gone back next year if it wasn’t booked already.

Our stay was amazing. We go to the keys every summer but this by far was the best stay. The house was perfect for our family. The pool was amazing and the water view and dock were perfect for our boat and getting out to the water quickly for fishing. Definitely recommend
