Walk to Sombrero Beach! Welcome to The Fish Bowl — Your Perfect Family Getaway!
Summary:
Just steps from Sombrero Beach, this canal-front getaway has everything you need for an easy, breezy vacation. Enjoy a private pool and hot tub inside a fully screened lanai, 80 feet of dockage for your boat, and zero stairs in this spacious ground-level home. Additionally, a commercial-grade ice machine ensures a steady supply of ice to keep you cool.
The Space:
Welcome to The Fish Bowl, a spacious ground-level home located only 0.4 miles from Sombrero Beach — the perfect destination for families or groups looking to relax and enjoy the Florida Keys lifestyle.
This unique property comfortably accommodates up to 12 guests. It has 5 bedrooms and two queen sleeper sofas, and thanks to its split floor plan, it offers an ideal layout for two families.
The open-concept kitchen and living area is perfect for gathering. Enjoy granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and custom wood cabinetry. The living room features plenty of comfortable seating and a large flat-screen TV for movie nights.
The master suite includes a king bed, an en suite bath with a walk-in shower, and direct access to the pool through sliding glass doors. On this side of the home, you’ll also find a queen bedroom, a twin bedroom, and a full bath. The opposite wing includes two additional bedrooms (one with an en suite bath), plus a kitchenette and cozy living/dining area — perfect for extended families or guests seeking privacy.
Step outside to your private screened patio and pool/hot tub area, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Watch the big game on the outdoor TV, soak up the sun, or unwind by the pool in the evening breeze. The 80-foot dock offers water and power, a fish-cleaning station, a bait freezer, and a commercial ice maker — everything you need for your Keys fishing adventures.
All this, just a five-minute walk or bike ride to Sombrero Beach!

What makes this property unique
The owners of this home are a family of six.......with that being said, they knew that they needed a Vacation Home spacious enough to enjoy and relax with all of their kids. The owners grew up visiting the Keys while camping, boating, fishing, snorkeling and going to the tiki bar. The owners met at work, got married and started a family. The growing family decided to rent a house in the Florida Keys every summer for a week long vacation with their kids. They rented properties in both Key Largo and Islamorada, but once they stayed in Marathon they felt at home.
They decided to invest in a Vacation home and knew that it had to be located in Marathon. After a year of searching, they found this house and knew it was perfect for them and other large families to enjoy. Every time the owners stay at their Vacation Home, they feel like they are in Paradise. They are very grateful to share this home with their family and other families that will create everlasting memories in their home away from home. You will relax as soon as you step foot through the doors, and they hope you enjoy your stay. From their family to yours, Thank you.
