Waterfront Dream Condo with Panoramic Views, Near Vaca Cut
Turn off of Route 1, leave behind all the hubbub of life, while holding on to the infectious laid back, slower-paced atmosphere of the Keys, and drive to the end of our beautiful, scenic peninsula and what immediately feels like another world – memorable, quiet Gulfpointe 2.
This idyllic, amenity-packed condo complex is surrounded by water, and our newly renovated, luxury-styled unit, Gulfsidehaven, has expansive, spectacular views, a welcome, prevailing breeze, and ample privacy thanks to its waterfront, corner location.
With the Keys famous for its fishing and diving, Gulfpointe 2 has a well-equipped, private dock with 8 slips and convenient, direct access to the Atlantic via Vaca Cut.
How great is this condo? Well, we vacationed here ourselves and loved it so much, we bought it!

AND ONE AMAZING VIEW
Many of our guests comment on the view from our rental—which, as a corner unit, really does have some of the best seats in the house.
Spend your afternoon watching the serene show from the third floor, wraparound balcony that suspends you over amazing Gulf views—a typical scene includes boating activity, small planes, egrets, pelicans and, occasionally, manatees. Stick around for sunset, pour your favorite drink, and settle into your front-row spot for a memorable show.
Inside the recently remodeled condo, find new wood plank tile floors, new quartz countertops, new appliances in the well-stocked kitchen and new bathrooms.
ABOUT THE COMPLEX
Gulfpointe 2 is known for its amenities and, particularly for its private boat dock with 8 slips (first-come, first served). You'll even find excellent fishing right off the dock.
There's also a bait freezer, gear locker and a fish cleaning station available to guests. Grill your fresh catch on the gas grill on the lower balcony and dig in at the outdoor dining table, which has waterfront views and ambiance to beat any restaurant.
The complex also features a pool, which is steps away from the unit and heated in the winter months. You're just minutes from Route 1, but still very much a world away from the bustle.

Great stay! The condo was very clean with comfortable beds and cozy furniture, and it felt very private. The pool was just outside, which was super convenient, and the dock was great for fishing. The best part was the million-dollar view—amazing sunsets from both balconies every night. Would definitely stay again! Thank you Heidi!
Amazing place to stay. Condo was as advertised and the views were incredible. Nice quiet community with very friendly people. Would definitely stay again.
We had a wonderful time and this location was exactly as described. It met our expectations and more. Great communication and we would not hesitate to stay there again. The view was outstanding.
We had a wonderful stay. This condo is extremely comfortable with a beautiful view! That’s first things we look for when booking a condo and GulfsideHaven has it all! We will definitely come back.
We really enjoyed our stay. The owners are very welcoming and communicate well. The condo was well appointed and very comfortable. The views from the balcony are wonderful and it’s a quiet place to just sit and relax! Don’t hesitate to book!
We enjoyed our time at this property, great view, very relaxing and well appointed condo. Located close to restaurant's and other activities. Middle Key Marathon is a great base for exploring other Keys, short drive to Key West. Don’t miss Sombrero Beach. Would stay here again if back in the Keys.
A lovely condo with spectacular views! We loved the location with pools, fishing & boating dock and nightly sunsets. The condo has everything you need! Hope to be back.

Perfect in every way. Perfect if you want to be in the middle of the keys. Location of condo itself is perfect with feeling very private and literally sreps from the water. Beautiful views. Condo was immaculate and had everything you need. Beautiful ,clean pool also steps away from condo. Couldnt have asked for better
We were extremely pleased with this property. Not only was it clean, but the kitchen was well stocked. Location was great and the views were spectacular! They were plenty of restaurants and shopping in the area. I would highly recommend this condo.
We really enjoyed our stay in Marathon.
Walking distance to restaurants, condo had everything we needed, husband enjoyed the fishing rods being available and was out on the dock each day. Beautiful views. Hope to come back again!
We had a wonderful stay! The condo was very clean and well stocked and the beds were super comfy. The view was amazing and our family really enjoyed seeing the manatees right out front of the unit. The pool was wonderful for our evening swims. This is our second time to marathon and the location is perfect!
Exploring the Florida Keys is easy from Marathon! This location and condo was so nice! We enjoyed the peacefulness and views of the water. We met nice people! The price was right and was very cost effective. Thank you.
My wife and I wanted to getaway for a week and celebrate our anniversary and enjoy some warmer temperatures. The place was great - nice views and close to everything you need. We spent several days working remotely and it was a great view to have while taking care of work stuff. We hope to return someday soon.

About the host
Hosted by Heidi Schlueter
My family and I have always enjoyed travelling the world. My husband and I even met on an outdoor survival school (yes, one of those places they throw you in the desert and teach you how to survive), got married just outside of Florence, Italy, and have tried to spend every minute travelling that we can.
Why they chose this property
With all of our travelling, something keeps drawing us back to the Florida Keys. The laid back atmosphere, friendly people, and warm climate are all a huge draw. When we found Gulfpointe 2, we finally felt we had found our home away from home. We hope you love it as much as we do.
