You can watch all the movies on a high definition 65 inch flat screen T.V. with surround sound. Kitchen area has a desk area where you can connect your computer to High Speed wireless internet (Fee Wifi) for those days where you just got to get some work done. The master bedroom has a king size bed (firm memory foam mattress), flat screen TV, and small private bathroom. The second bedroom sleeps 4 with one queen, top twin XL bunk on top, and twin XL trundle at bottom. Master has streaming T.V. .

Perfect for teens that can't drive but like their independence walking or riding bike (bike not included in rental) by themselves to the park, movies, or shops. Family reunion? Inquire about nearby homes which are also available for rental.
Although Marathon is located about midway on the keys chain, it has just about anything you would need during your stay, including marathon airport (charter flights from Miami) and hospital in case you need medical attention during your stay. Key west is just 45 minutes away. One of the best surprises when i bought this home was Sombrero Beach. This beach is only 5 minutes away by car and maybe 15 minute bike ride. Sombrero beach has white sand, coconut palms, private clean bathrooms, two volleyball courts, children play area with grass, barbecue grills and picnic tables, and the beautiful view of the ocean. A must visit. My teen (adult now) use to love marathon community park. Teens will love to try out the cable wake boarding park (no boat needed) and also the new Surf Style Flow Rider (just like in the cruise ships)! If you want to take a dip in a pool just go to sunset grill and raw bar where they have one of the largest heated poosl in the keys overlooking the ocean at the seven-mile bridge (free if you eat there). Watch the sunset from here while at the bar listening to margaritaville. Enjoy some of the best fishing and diving available in the world. Sombrero reef is 4.5 miles away from our dock. It offers a spectacular reef and is just minutes away by boat ride. The seven-mile bridge is probably the premiere location for the greatest game fish in Florida waters, the tarpon. The best part is that you will get top quality at a rate that can’t be beaten.

The house was so comfortable very clean and had everything we needed to enjoy a wonderful relaxing week. One of my favorite parts of the day was sitting on the porch at sunrise and sunset. We were able to spend a day in Key West but were really happy to get back to Marathon to the more laid back leisure lifestyle. Spent a couple days at Bahia Honda State park the beaches were beautiful and the swimming was great. The house has everything you needed to spend a comfortable day at the beach. Enjoyed many great meals. Some of our favorites were Castaway, Island Fish Co, No name Pub.
The host was awesome, easily available to answer questions. The amenities were perfect, she had everything available to use. The house was clean, had up to date appliances, sona, a spa and a canal right out the door. Location was perfect and close to everything. IHighly recommend staying atThis house. Looking forward to going back
Perfect location in the Keys! Cute town with plenty to do nearby - parks, restaurants, boating, kayaking. Close to drive down to Key West for the day. The house had everything you could need, was very clean, and friendly, helpful host!
Great place to stay. Very clean. My husband and I enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub after long days of kayaking and fishing. Loved the reclining sectional in the living room, very comfortable, as well as the bed. Mariella was easy to contact and very accommodating when we were having trouble booking our dates. We would definitely stay here again.
Our host enabled us to feel very much at home during our stay. She was available via text message with any questions or concerns. What stood out the most was the accuracy of the photos, an exact match upon entering the home. The home is in close proximity to many area amenities, walking distance to restaurants, shopping, and a nearby Publix for groceries. The beds are wonderfully comfortable! Outdoor area as well is spacious with a spa! You will find Sombrero beach a close drive. Can be crowded at times. Other beaches are a short distance away. Use the area guide the host leaves for guests as she suggests many good places to eat. Sooo many are available! The only negative we found is the road and airport noise.
This was such a beautiful home, and stocked with absolutely everything you need. I was also impressed that the things provided, were top notch, not just cheap stuff to get you by!The view of the canal of off the balcony was beautiful! The hot tub amazing! Sunset park was literally maybe 5 minutes away and had the most stunning views of the sunset!The location was close to everything! Shopping, fishing, beaches and restaurants! Would recommend 110%!
Absolutely beautiful home. We had a fantastic time.Beautiful views, use of hot tub, great neighborhood, spacious home with everything you can need for your stay. We ended up meeting the neighbor across the way, and she was such a kind and genuine person. Our host was always reachable if needed. She had wonderful communication and we would absolutely stay again. 10/10

The Canal house was exactly as pictured – bright, clean, and perfectly located, in Marathon. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook. The decor was beautiful and outside was absolutely awesome, especially the hammock!!
Would absolutely stay here again!!
This house is a great place to stay in Marathon! We found it to be very comfortable and convenient with tons of amenities. The host was very responsive with questions, and her list of restaurant suggestions was appreciated!
This property was perfect for our family of four. Everything was exactly as listed and Mariella has literally thought of everything you could possibly need. Location was perfect to explore all of the Keys in both directions. Great food and tons to do in the area. If you’re on the fence, book it, you’ll be glad you did!
We loved everything in the house and we had a great time! The bed was very comfortable, and pillows as well, the house was immaculately clean and anything you can possibly need was provided. Mariella is very responsive and communication was great. Best stay ever.
Beautiful house with all the amenities to provide a wonderful vacation!!! Great location to get out on the water quickly or down to Key West or Islandmorada! We enjoyed our stay immensely and look forward to returning again!!!
My wife I stayed for 18 days in February, the home was very clean! Well maintained house and property. Mariella was awesome to work with. This place will always be a top pick when if come to Marathon!
Well maintained, clean and our hostess Mariella was available on demand. Awesome stay! I highly recommend and will try to book this property again if I ever return here.

About the host
Hosted by Mariella Fernandez
Hello Prospective Guests, I myself am a frequent user of VRBO/Home Away. Have used it many times during our annual ski vacation trips and many more. VRBO never failed me so now it is my turn to rent to people just like me. I take pride knowing I go the extra mile in keeping every single renter happy. If there are any un-expected issues, I put the renter first that is just the way I would want to be treated. Hope you love my place as much as I do!
Why they chose this property
The Florida Keys is truly a place to enjoy the great outdoors. It all starts with the drive from Miami (~2 hrs) . Do it at day light. When you start getting closer to Marathon, the ocean water starts turning clear turquoise and you know you have reached the Florida Keys. Marathon has the best of both worlds, the convenience of facilities that we are use to having (stores, fast food, hospital, etc) while keeping with the laid back feel of the Florida Keys. Why this property: Well because I love it and it shows. I take great joy in knowing that my guest leave happy, filled with great memories. I have great guest too. Over 90 reviews and all 5 Starts!
What makes this property unique
My Place is modern and at the same time comfortable and has that keys feel. It has an open atmosphere with two large sliding glass doors overlooking the large furnished balcony. The balcony overlooks the canal and coconut palm trees. The white curtains in the balcony give you a resort feel. The two staircases offer convenience to the front of the home as well as the back and the best thing is that this is a house on a large lot so you have your privacy. The home also has a chain link fence giving you peace of mind that outdoor toys are secure as well as security camera on boat slip and front parking (although not needed, its very safe here).
