There are 4 parking spots for vehicles and one boat trailer (you cannot have more than one boat at this property). The kitchen and bathroom are well-stocked with everything you need and there's a neighborhood beach just down the street! Located at mile marker 55, in the heart of Marathon, Dockside Retreat is your perfect vacation spot!
There are lights inside the Tiki Hut so you can enjoy the space in the evening as well! There is a green light under the water at the dock. The house also has a pack n play, mattress, baby sheets, baby gate, high chair and booster seat! We provide hand soap, bath bar soap, dish soap, dishwashing detergent, laundry detergent, stain remover, bleach, kitchen sponge/scrubby, trash bags, TP, PT, basic kitchen/bath cleaner bath, pool/beach towels and all bed linens.

This is a vacation rental and the entire home (half the duplex) and property are for the exclusive use of the guests. This property is unit 2. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 baths on each side. Each side has it's own pool/parking. We have a pin pad on the door and the code will be provided shortly before your arrival. The entire Unit 2, the pool, half the dock (no charge), and parking (4 spots) are available for the guest. The dock accommodates a 35 foot boat max. Each unit has one side of the dock for its private use. There is covered parking for two vehicles and additional parking for more cars and/or a boat trailer. There are 4 spots total -so 3 cars and one trailer max, or 4 cars. You cannot have two boats at this property.
As the property manager, I am available throughout your stay for any questions, needs, or recommendations. You will be able to call or text me directly, day and evening, 7 days a week! If I am needed at the property, I will certainly make myself available any time!
Angler's at Sombrero is a newer development on Sombrero Beach Road, just down the street from Sombrero Beach - a beautiful oceanfront beach! Sandy beaches are not common in the Keys, so it a real asset to have an oceanfront sandy beach just down the street! There is a sidewalk all along Sombrero Beach Road where you can bike, exercise, or walk to the beach! About two minutes from the grocery store (Publix and Winn Dixie), a minute or so from the beach, and less than 10 minutes from any of the amazing restaurants and activities in Marathon, the location is perfectly centrally located! Only an hour from Key West and about 20 minutes from Bahia Honda State Park, you can easily make day trips!
We recommend that you have a car during your stay in the Keys.
We provide TP, PT, hand, dish soap, bath bar soap, laundry pods, laundry detergent, trash bags, basic kitchen/bath cleaner, dishwasher detergent that should be enough to last a week. We also provide all the bed linens, baths, and pool/beach towels and two propane tanks.
It is mandatory that the guest manage their trash throughout their stay. A Pineapple Properties team member will take the cans to the street for pick up on trash days and also return them to the spot where they belong. You just need to ensure your trash is taken to the cans and does not pile up during your stay.
We do ask that you clean the grill to the best of your ability before you leave. Do you not use charcoal in the grill as it is a gas grill.
$45 Management Fee is Damage Insurance covering up to 3k in damages.
The pool can be heated or chilled for a fee of $ 125 per 7 days, plus tax and credit card fees as applicable. Prorated for longer stay.

Fantastic Time!
This is the second time we have rented Dockside Retreat. Both times my relatives rented the house that adjoins it. We all love this place, and the house has everything you could possibly need. We did it all while we were there, boating, swimming, beach, sunsets, trip to Key West to name a few. All around a great place!

We’re so glad the house had everything you needed and that it continues to be a special place for your group. We really appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back for a third visit!

Relaxing Spot close to everything
Fantastic property, located close to the beach, shopping, and other attractions. The house was clean and well-supplied with thoughtful items for a great vacation (beach chairs, pool toys, bait freezer, filet table, kayaks, bikes, paddle boards, etc.
Would definitely rent again and highly recommend for a family getaway.
Pinnaple property management communicated well and resolved a few very minor issues right away.
Cons: couch and rug are getting tired and need to be replaced soon, a few loose chairs at the kitchen table.
We had a great week. The house had everything you could need!

This house was perfect for my family of 7. So much to do, clean and spacious, great location. The outside pool area is fantastic. So many amenities. Everything is up to date and modern. Basic essentials are provided, dish soap, paper towels, trash bags, etc. Smelled clean, no dirty areas. Perfect.

Please come back and visit.
We stayed here for a week and loved every minute of it! The location is perfect - near shopping, restaurants, attractions and a beach at the end of the street. It was well appointed and very clean. The private pool and tiki hut were the icing on the cake. Meredith was easy to communicate with and very timely responses. I would highly recommend this home and may go back soon!

Wow, Michelle! What a fantastic review! Thank you so much! Sounds like you definitely had a great vacation! We are excited you want to return! Looking forward to having you again!
The property was awesome and very well appointed. We had everything we needed to enjoy our family vacation. Having Publix on the same side of the main Route 1 made all catering logistics a breeze.
Marathon had many options to eat, play and explore the keys going North or South with ease. Having a heated pool was great and comfortable early till late.

This place was the perfect get away for our family. It's close to Sombrero beach but yet close to town. The pool and tiki area were great and having a grill down there made it the perfect hang out. The house was stocked with everything you need and then some. Our family enjoyed having the bikes, paddleboards and kayaks and exploring the island that way as well. If we make it down to Marathon again, we would rebook this property.

We had a wonderful time! Property was perfect for our group. Dock and pool were just right and so fun for boating and fishing! Kitchen was good for cooking. Could use some condiments and basics- salt and pepper, olive oil, garlic. But plenty of pots/dishes. Beds and baths were great. Location was ideal! Manager was very responsive.

Thank you so much for the great review! We prefer not to stock "food" items because people prefer their own and not something someone else may have used. Unlike most properties, we do stock all the supplies you need for the week (not just one or two): toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, laundry detergent, bleach, stain spray, hand soap, dish soap, dish washing detergent, basic cleaners, bathroom shower soap and tons of quality towels and beach/pool towels - plus all the other amenties (kayaks, bikes, paddleboards and much more) so you don't have to rent anything. Thanks again for booking with us and I hope you can return!
We were pleasantly surprised that it was as nice as it looked online. We had 8 adults and were all very comfortable. The pool and tiki hut were awesome as well as the bikes and kayaks. It was just a short walk to beautiful sombrero beach. It was nice to not worry about bringing beach towels and pool toys. We took the kayaks out and caught mangrove snapper, grunts, & catfish right in the canal. It was a great vacation property and we hope to rent it again!

This place is awesome! And so Well Equipped!
Loved this place! Came down for a holiday getaway with the family and was perfect for all of us. Unit was well equipped with kayaks, bicycles and all of the water toys for us to not to have to bring a lot of extra with us (perfect for flying in as we did) and since we rented a boat for the week, it made it easy to go out fishing and diving but just jumping on a going. Also, Kitchen had everything we needed, and the heated pool was perfect for the granddaughter! Merideth and the Pineapple Properties team were a pleasure to deal with as well. Overall, couldn't have asked for more!

We had an awesome time staying at this house. There were 10 of us and we all had plenty of room. Meredith was absolutely wonderful to deal with and responded to us right away with everything. We spent so much time in the pool and fishing off of the dock. We even had a manatee come right up to us. The kayaks and paddle boards were great to have as well. The house is in a great location, close to everything. When we were there, the Sombrero Beach wasn’t great, but we had the pool anyway. I would definitely recommend staying here.

We were two families of four, child 12 years old and then three young adults and 4 adults. The house was perfect for us, plenty of room for all. We appreciated the pool towels, beach chairs, bikes, snorkel gear, kayaks, pool toys, etc. The beds were super comfortable, plenty of dishes, pots, pans., etc. The location was perfect, close to Sombrero Beach, shopping, etc. Meredith the property manager was very responsive, we had one minor issue she addressed that immediately. We highly recommend this property.
