The house is perfect size for 2 or 3 couples, or a family with kids. We enjoyed having our boat in the water. The pool and jacuzzi were perfect after a long day of fishing or snorkeling.

Having a yard for the dog was fantastic!! The size of the house was perfect for the 4 of us. We were able to cook meals in the kitchen. The boat dock was great! Loved the outdoor shower. Pool not so much. It was dirty when we checked in & was not cleaned till 4 days later. This was disappointing.

The property was amazing an exactly like the pictures. We brought our 21 foot boat, and they had plenty of room for trailer parking and plenty of dock space to dock the boat. The canal was deep and easy to get in and out. The backyard was perfect for swimming and relaxing after a day out on the water. The inside of the house was very clean and had all the necessary cooking supplies to make meals. We enjoyed our stay and are looking forward to booking again next year at this property.

Photos and descriptions just don't do this property justice! It's a private tropical paradise! Beautiful lush foliage, private pool, hot tub, fabulous tiki hut, all add up to a perfect outdoor oasis. We travelled with dogs, so first thing we did was walk the fence...yard is securely fenced, including dock. Additionally, entire back deck is fenced and gated. Landscaping is unbelievably beautiful and very well tended. Home is extremely well maintained --clean, spacious, updated. Covered parking, and house sits back from the road. Neighborhood was very quiet and peaceful. Felt very safe and comfortable walking our pups late at night. Grocery stores and drug stores right outside neighborhood. Boat rentals and dive charters within 5 miles (we rented a boat for 4 days...plenty of docking space). We have rented in Marathon before, but THIS property is by far superior on every level!

Fabulous Property and Location

I wanted my three boys to experience the "Keys" vacation. I have been SCUBA diving down there for many years. Everyone thought this was the best family vacation we have had together. Can't say enough good things about the overall experience.

This is our 4th year staying in the Keys for Thanksgiving, we love everything about it! This house was clean, beautiful and had everything we needed. The pool and hot tub were very nice and clean! The tiki hut and grill were also wonderful to have. Thank you for allowing us to stay we loved it!

Beautiful backyard and pool

We had a very pleasant time and loved the yard and pool area. It was very relaxing and loved sitting in upperdeck reading and lounging by the pool while kiddos swam. Definitely recommend, the house itself is cozy and had what we needed and beds were comfortable and everything was spotless when we arrived.

This was a perfect getaway for my husband and I and our 2 Springer Spaniels. We loved it and booked for another visit before we left. The grill actually works, that’s a first! It’s clean, well appointed and just so relaxing.

Beautiful and Relaxing

House is in a great location, close to beach and Publix. Pool area was so nice, surrounded by palms and lush foliage. My son and I saw a huge manatee surface right in front of us while looking at the canal. I would definitely stay again.

PERFECT place!

The biggest problem with our stay was that there were too many options for things to do and ways to relax! Property could not have been better…with the phrase “I could live here” said many times during the week. House and property were spotless (having been recently updated) and the tiki hut was awesome to visit under. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

A beautiful house on the canal

The house was well maintained and spotless. Since we were part of a group we mainly just slept at the house. The house had everything we needed and was conveniently located. I would rent it again next time we need an extra house.

Awesome Property

We loved everything about this home! Everything was clean and exactly as mentioned in the listing. We had four teenagers with us and they loved everything about this place. In fact, I think they spent more time outside than in! We also loved the beach area just a short walk down the road. We made some great memories and hope to be back again!

We enjoyed every second of our stay.

The house was very clean and had everything you need including extra towels. The yard and pool area is absolutely breathtaking with well maintained palm trees and other tropical bushes. Questions to the owner were awnsered within minutes. We can’t think of anything negative- loved it! We would absolutely recommend this property!

Perfect family vacation

We had a great time and we’re able to bring our dogs and our boat. We enjoyed being able to boat with the family and grandkids during the day, take a dip in the pool and relax on the porch or tiki hut in the evening. We grilled fresh caught fish, listened to music and played family games over drinks after the kids went to bed. Everything was clean, nicely decorated and as advertised. We would come back for sure!

Turkey Day Marathon

Easily one of the best properties I've had the pleasure of staying at and I've been booking through VRBO for many years and have stayed in several very nice homes. The property felt like a private resort and we barely felt the need to leave. The beach is close and is a nice sand beach with is rare in the keys. The neighborhood is very nice and the grocery store is right down the road. A friend joined us with her small dog and the fenced in yard was perfect. Will definitely return to this property.
