It was enjoyable and a great location, the only bad thing was that unfortunately we found cockroaches in the kitchen the first day and even a repeat second day which was really. This sort of things should not happen

Great Getaway to Marathon

We had a wonderful stay at Vaca Cove Unit G in Marathon Key! The home was spacious and comfortable—perfect for our group of eight. We especially loved being right next to the pool, which made it easy for the kids to swim and play while the adults relaxed nearby. The dock provided hours of entertainment with fishing and beautiful water views.The large kitchen and outdoor grill were exactly what we needed to prepare and enjoy meals together at the home. The location was also ideal—close to grocery stores and everything else we needed during our stay.We truly enjoyed our time at Vaca Cove and would love to come back again. Highly recommend!
