For All Ages

The Beautiful, safe, & relaxing environment provides a fun filled winter break.Six seniors spent a week enjoying the sun, pool, activities onsite & local.Key West is less than one hour away. Awesome houses , an outstanding clubhouse & a marina full of “ not your average” boats provide first class scenery.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a fantastic week at the beautiful Marlin Bay Marina. Text responses were always immediate from staff including Lauren, April, Mikkel and Alana. Shout out to Alana for 10 out of 10 customer service all week long....with a smile every time we interacted. April graciously let us tour an empty property for our next stay. Sara and Chef were attentive at the pool bar and very easy to talk to. The property is top shelf and all of the employees are even better. We can’t wait to return!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived and the check in was very smooth. Our house was ready, and very clean. The grounds are very well kept and the staff friendly and helpful. We fished on the local bridges and even caught some keeper caravel jack fish.. Brought them back to the fish cleaning tables at Marlin bay and cleaned them. The next night we took them to the Tiki Bar down the road and had them prepared. We enjoyed the pool and game area everyday, in between site seeing and fishing. Our week went by very quickly . We had 4 adults and 2 children with us and there was plenty of room ..

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The 13 days were a blast and a very nice break from the recovery work on Pine Island from Hurricane Ian. One small issue the room window coverage allowed too much natural light in and wake us up way too early. The place was great and the staff was wonderful- Claudine and the team were amazing.

Luxury resort in Marathon

The house and the resort are spotless. The house is very nicely decorated and furnished. The resort, marina, club house and pool area are very well taken care of. The area is quiet and the staff are responsive and pleasant. The only downside is that the neighborhood is industrial and you need a car to get anywhere.

We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your stay in the home and the resort overall :) We do certainly recommend a car to get around The City of Marathon, as it is not a traditional "walking town" like Key West. Luckily though, there are about 5+ restaurant/bars within a few blocks of the property that are easily walkable. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again soon!
