Waterfront Gated Home—Pool, Spa, Private Dock & Boat Ramp—Gulfside Luxury Stay
Tarpon Cove by Gulfview Getaways 🏝️
4 Bedrooms | 3 Bathrooms | Plus Outdoor Cabana Bathroom & Shower | Expansive Gulf Views | Private Pool & Spa Overlooking the Gulf | Enormous Outdoor Living Space | 2 Car Garage w/ ample additional parking | Large 80’ Boat Dock | Private Boat Ramp | Complimentary Amenities | Gated Property | Gulfside Luxury
Recently remodeled and beautifully furnished, Tarpon Cove sits directly on the Gulf waters with a private 12x30’ swimming pool, 7’ jacuzzi spa, private boat ramp, and a brand-new 80’ upgraded dock. Enjoy an expansive outdoor bar overlooking the water, plus a cabana bath with shower — your tropical Keys escape awaits.
Inside, the home is light, airy, and elegantly coastal, featuring an open floor plan with large bay windows offering stunning water views. Nestled at the end of a quiet residential street, this tropically landscaped, gated property offers total privacy and relaxation.
The main living area includes a large-screen Smart TV and dining space. Step out to the expansive second-floor porch that spans the length of the home — perfect for alfresco dining or sunset lounging. The chef’s kitchen is fully equipped with premium appliances and a granite island seating six.
Sleeping arrangements include:
• Two King Bedrooms with en suite baths
• One King Guest Bedroom
• One Twin-over-Queen Bunk
Boaters will appreciate 80 feet of dockage in protected waters, offering quick access to the United States’ only living coral reef — ideal for world-class fishing, snorkeling, and diving. There’s also a jet ski pad for added fun on the water.
Downstairs, enjoy a spacious oceanfront bar area featuring a pool table, ping pong, dart board, BBQ grill, full-size refrigerator, deep freezer, and ample shaded seating for entertaining or simply relaxing by the pool.
Fish, kayak, swim, or snorkel right off your private dock — it’s all just steps away.
Located in the heart of the Florida Keys (Marathon) — halfway between Key Largo and Key West — Tarpon Cove is within walking distance of restaurants, shopping, grocery stores, and entertainment. Just 1.5 miles from Sombrero Beach and a short drive to Bahia Honda State Park, this home is perfectly positioned for exploring the best of the Keys.
Bring your shorts, tee shirts, and flip-flops — everything else is waiting for your spectacular getaway!

About the host
Hosted by Jamie MacPhee

We reside in sunny Southwest Florida, and the Florida Keys have always been our all-time favorite vacation destination. After years of exploring each Key’s unique charm and natural beauty, we fell in love with Marathon. We were fortunate to find our own slice of paradise and turn it into a second home, with the dream of retiring here one day.
Until then, we feel grateful for the opportunity to share our home with guests from around the world. We take great pride in offering a clean, well-equipped, and thoughtfully designed space for others to create lasting memories with family and friends.
If you’re traveling with a larger group or looking to book two homes close together, be sure to check out our sister property, VRBO #3065525, conveniently located just next door. It sleeps up to 12 and shares the same peaceful street and beautiful waterfront views

Why they chose this property
After many vacations and thoughtful planning, we chose Marathon for its unbeatable blend of access, beauty, and community. We were looking for a waterfront home that wasn’t tucked away in a narrow canal but still provided safety, space, and open water feel—this home has all of that and more. It’s located in a serene cove, which gives us the benefit of calmer waters, protection from low tides or sargassum blooms, and the freedom to enjoy boating, paddleboarding, or jumping off the dock for a swim any time of day.
The home sits at the end of a quiet residential street and is fully gated for extra privacy and peace of mind. We love the relaxed, family-friendly neighborhood, where neighbors wave hello and everything you need—groceries, restaurants, and shopping—is just a short drive or bike ride away.
